Summary

In experiments conducted with three rice varieties at different plant populations and N levels, the non-lodging varieties responded to 150 kg N/ha. The highest yield in non-lodging varieties were at the highest transplanted density, but at the lowest density in the lodging variety. The percentage of total milled rice of all varieties was not significantly affected by N application, which improved head-rice recovery in chalky IR-8, but had no significant effect on non-chalky varieties. Competition for nutrients could be a major factor limiting head rice return at high densities.
