Abstract
The possibility of growing two rice crops
in the same field during oneseason has been explored. An early maturing photoperiod intensive variety of fine basmati rice namely Kashmir basmati was used s the experimental material . the first crop of this variety was transplanted in the first week of may and harvested in the third week of august subsequently , the second crop was transplanted in the same field during the fourth week of august and was harvested in the third week of November. Thus leaving sufficient interval for the timely sowing of wheat crop n the same field . the grain yield
of first and second crop was 2511.7 and
2610.5kg/ha respectively. The results of this experiment indicate that basmati yield can be doubled by growing two rice crops in one season.
