Correlation and Multiple Regression Model for Economic Traits of Local Rice (<i>Oryza sativa</i> L.) in Upland Rice System

Abstract

This study was conducted to stabilize the correlation parameter for economic traits of local rice (Oryza sativa L.). The results revealed that the number of tiller (NT) was positively correlated with plant height (PH, r = 0.55211), number of panicle (NP, r = 0.48390), panicle length (PL, r = 0.31181), seed length (SL, r = 0.33430), total seed weight (TSW, r = 0.28122), however, the negatively correlated with seed width (SW, r = -0.26725). Plant height (PH) was negatively correlated with seed width (SW, r = -0.42971) and 100 seed weight (HS, r = -0.28991). Number of panicle (NP) was positively correlated with panicle length (PL, r = 0.32888) and total seed weight (TSW = 0.75128). Panicle length (PL) was positively correlated with number of seed (NS, r = 0.38332), seed length (SL, r = 0.53582) and total seed weight (TSW, r = 0.51078). Number of seed (NS) was positively correlated with total seed weight (TS, r = 0.54696). Seed length (SL) was positively correlated with 100 seed weight (HS, r = 0.46799) and total seed weight (TSW, r = 0.33826). Seed width (SW) was positively correlated with 100 seed weight (HS, r = 0.66074). In this experiment, multiple regression formula was Y(TSW) = -51.31 + 0.045(PH) + 2.77(NP) + 0.21(NS) + 8.88(HS) with R2 = 0.5644. Our results represent the relationship among traits and making for design a crop model in rice planting system.
