Numerous researchers have reported that the main stem and other tillers differ in the percentage of tiller production (number of tillers) and in the percentage of bearing tillers. In addition, the panicles formed on the main stem and on other bearing tillers differ in grain yield (weight of brown rice), the percentage of whole grains, and the protein content of the grains. Therefore, to establish stable rice production techniques that provide high grain quality and good eating quality, it is important to investigate the effects of the nodal position and order of the tillers by integrating the effects of five components: the percentage of tiller production, the percentage of bearing tillers, the weight of brown rice, the percentage of whole grains, and the protein content of the grains.
