Abstract: 

The present investigation entitled “Optimizing Rice Growth and Yield with "Grinophyll" Foliar Application was carried out during kharif season of the year 2021 and 2022 on the field of ASPEE, Agricultural Research and Development Foundation, Tansa farm, At - Nare, Taluka - Wada, District - Palghar, Maharashtra, India. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design. The three treatments (Control, Grinophyll @ 4 ml, and Grinophyll @ 6 ml per 15 liters of water) were replicated twice times on four varieties of rice namely Dandi, Gurjari, Jaya, and GAR-13. The plant population per meter square (34.5 & 34), plant height (105.9 & 113.5 cm), number of tillers per plant (13.7 & 13), number of panicles per plant (13 & 14.8), number of panicles per square meter (442 & 463.4) and length of panicle (25.8 & 26.2 cm) was recorded maximum in 2021 and for 2022 with application of Grinophyll @ 6 ml /15 liters of water on rice cv. “GAR-13”. However, the highest number of seeds per panicle (203.5 & 209.4), test weight (34.1 & 35.6 g), grain yield (68.6 & 61.2 q/ha) and straw yield (101.7 & 97.1 q/ha) was found in both 2021 and 2022 year respectively, with application of Grinophyll @ 6 ml / 15 liters of water. The data clearly revealed that, the yield obtained with treatment Grinophyll @ 6 ml / 15 liters of water on rice cv. “GAR 13” was significantly higher than all other treatments and also for growth parameters.
