Effect of Spacing and No. of Seedling per Hill on Growth and Yield Components of Rice cv. Chai Nat 1 under System of Rice Intensification

Abstract

We investigated effects of spacing and no. of seedling hill-1on growth and yield component of rice cv. Chai Nat 1 in system of rice intensification. The experiment included 25 × 25 cm, 30 × 30 cm, 40 × 40 cm, and 50 × 50 cm with single seedling hill-1, two seedlings hill-1, and three seedlings hill-1, respectively. The study was in Kasetsart University Chalermphrakiat Sakonnakhon Province Campus during November 2016 to March 2017. Each condition was laid out in a randomized completed block design with three replications. The experiment found that the no. of seedlings hill-1influence in the growth and the yield component of the rice, while the spacing does not. Moreover, there is no interaction between spacing and seedlings hill-1.The three seedling hill-1condition showed the highest in tillering (avg. = 24.13 tillers hill-1). The single seedling hill-1showed the lowest in tillering (avg. = 16.24 tillers hill-1). From this research indicated that optimized seed hill-1in rice cultivated system.
