J. B. Singh, U. S. Gautam

Abstract :

Rice–fish culture experiments were conducted by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Pratapgarh to compare and evaluate the feeding, growth, survival and yields of fish culture in 2014 and 2015 respectively and to compare paddy and fish yield between rice–fish and rice–alone situations. Survival, growth rate and yields were better with the rice – fish field than the rice–alone situations field. The results of paddy–cum–fish culture experiments at farmer’s field with Kaveri variety of paddy the fish yield was 12.8– 16.8 Q/ha crop with paddy fish culture in 125 days culture. Paddy yields were 59.4–65.4 Q/ha crop in rice–fish field and 57.2–59.2 Q/ha crop in rice–alone culture with insignificant differences between the years. Water quality parameters were, in general, within the acceptable range for fish culture.
