Online published on 30 November, 2019. Abstract The experiment, conducted during the kharif seasons of 2010–11 and 2011–12 at Krishi Nagar farm, Department of Agronomy, JNKVV Jabalpur (M.P.), involving three crop geometries two depths of planting and three varieties of rice, revealed that the growth and yield of rice in system of rice intensification were significantly influenced by plant geometry and the depth of planting. Rice variety, MR-219 with shallow depth of planting (2.5 cm) was markedly superior in growth parameters (number of tillers/m2 at harvest) and almost all the yield parameters (test weight, harvest index, grain and straw yields).
