Abstract: An on-farm trial on rice crop was conducted during Kharif season of 2017-18 & 2018-19 to evaluate the effect of different crop establishment methods on yield attributes, yield and economics of in Samastipur district of Bihar. It was laid out in a randomized block design (RBD) with three number of treatments and replicated thrice. Three treatments were farmer’s practices/ transplanting of root washed seedlings (T1), direct seeded rice on no-tilled condition (T2) and direct seeded rice on tilled seedbed (T3). The results showed that higher grain yield (40.35 q/ha) was obtained in manual transplanting followed by direct seeded rice on tilled condition and direct seeded rice on no-tilled seedbed condition. Manual transplanting/farmer’s practice also had maximum number of effective tillers compared to other treatments. The highest average gross returns (₹ 66,988/ha) recorded in farmer’s practice/manual transplanting while average net returns (₹ 22,074/ha) and B: C ratio (0.533) was recorded in direct seeded rice on tilled seedbed.
