Field experiment were conducted to compare the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) Practices with the Conventional management Practices (CMPs) or farmers’ practices of rice (Oryza sativa L.) in context of Morphological and yield production parameters at district Kulgam of J& K(2016). The investigational variables included combinations of seedling number and age (10 day-old single vs. 21 day-old), spacing (25 x 25 cm vs. 20 x 10 cm), irrigation (intermittent irrigation vs. continuous flooding), and weed control (cono-weeding vs. manual weeding) however for both sets of methods, the organic manure (mixture with cow dung and straw) was applied along with chemical fertilizers at the same rate. The test was laid out in randomized factorial design. Highest grain yield (637.9 gm–2) were obtained from SRI practices (planting 10 days-old seedlings hill–1 at 25 x 25 cm spacing + intermittent irrigation and cono-weeding). Yield under CMP (planting 21 day-old single seedlings at 20 x 10 cm + continuous flooding and manual-weeding: 448.9gm-2) was lower than that of SRI practices. Thus the overall results indicated that all the cultivars under study performed better under SRI as compared to other traditional practices with respect to different morphological and yield traits including grain yield. All the cultivars exhibited increased leaf area, leaf area index and Crop Growth Rate (CGR) under SRI practice as compared to CMP cultivation practice.
