A field experiment was conducted on “Effect of crop establishment methods on yield of rice (Oryza sativa L.) during summer under lowland farming situation” at Instructional cum research farm, S.G. College of Agriculture and Research Station, Jagdalpur, Chhattisgarh, India during summer 2019 in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with six treatments and four replications. Transplanting of 20 days old seedlings of MTU-1010 was carried out on 25th February 2019 maintaining crop geometry of 20 x 10 cm within each plot and rice was harvested on 31st May 2019. The result showed that maximum plant height, tillers number per hill, number of leaves per plant, leaf area index, relative growth rate N, P and K nutrient uptake in grain and straw, panicle per hill, panicle length, seeds per panicle and weight of 1000 seeds were obtained with transplanting of 20 days old seedling throughout the observations which was found significant and comparable to line sowing of normal seeds. The highest grain (58.22 q ha-1) and straw yield (82.73 q ha-1) of rice were noticed in transplanting of 20 days old seedling which was significantly more than rest of the treatments except the line sowing of normal seeds. The lowest grain and straw yield (34.18 and 71.40 q ha-1) was recorded by broadcasting of sprouted seeds.
