Several agronomic trials were conducted to standardize the cultivation package for the rice hybrids.  These involved finding out the optimum seed rate, seeding density in the nursery, number of seedlings/hill, suitable planting dates, planting geometry and nitrogen requirement etc.  Seed is the major costly input in hybrid rice cultivation.  Therefore, efforts have been made to reduce the seed rate without adversely affecting the grain yields.  The results revealed that planting of single seedling/hill is as good as planting 3-4 seedlings/hill.  By planting single seedling/hill the seed rate could be brought down to 15 kg/ha.  The details of the cultivation package for rice hybrids are presented in Table 2.
