The experiment was conducted at the Experiment Station of the International Rice Research Institution (IRRI) in Los Baños, Laguna, Philippines during the dry season of 2014/2015. It aimed to determine the effect of plant spacing and early use of N fertilizer on N fertilizer management at panicle initiation on puddled (UY site) and non-puddled (UE site) soils. The study also examined other factors such as tiller number, LAI, leaf color, and whether or not information can be used in adjusting N fertilizer at panicle initiation. The treatments were arranged in a randomized complete block design with four replications. The treatments were factorial combination of two plant spacing (0.3 m x 0.133 m and 0.2 m x 0.2 m) and four N management practices which were of two N treatments at early N and two panicle initiation (low is 35 kg N/ha in UY and 45 kg N/ha in UE, high is 60 kg N/ha in UE high in 60 kg N/ha in UY and 70 kg N/ha in UE). No significant difference was observed on plant performance as affected by two plant spacings (0.2 x 0.2 m and 0.3 x 0.133 m) for both sites, but the latter (that is, 0.3 x 0.133 m), obtained higher results in puddled soil and the former (0.2 x 0.2 m) in non-puddled soil. The recommendation was high nitrogen N at early and low N at panicle initiation (PI). Moreover, even high N rate applied early and low at PI has higher NUE than high N rate applied at early and at PI, the first treatment obtained up to 82% yield potential in puddled soil and 39% in non-puddled soil. As for the latter treatment, 84% of the yield potential in UY site was obtained and 45% in UE site. The former can save 25 kg N/ha in 2014/2015 DS.
