A field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2017 to study the effect of different land configurations and establishment method on physiological parameters of aerobic rice. The experiment was conducted in split plot design using rice variety ANNA (R) 4. Land configurations viz., ridges and furrows, raised bed and flat bed assigned as main plot and establishment method of direct sowing, transplanting of 14 and 21 days old seedlings as sub plot. The results revealed that among the land configurations raised bed with transplanting of 14 days old seedling has recorded higher values of physiological parameters of aerobic rice.
