Summary

Under the three levels of submergence (0, 5 and 10 cm. depths), water requirement of rice was maximum at 10 cm. but crop performance was similar to that at 5 cm. With medium and high levels of fertilization the crop had a higher water requirement than under low level, for ‘aus’ and ‘aman’ crops. Compacted soil compared well with puddled soil, but water requirement was appreciably higher with shallow puddling. In the two seasons water requirement, transpiration, evaporation and percolation losses were greater under submergence, and only transpiration was greater under higher levels of fertilization. Transpiration was maximum at flowering stage.
