Effect of irrigation treatments on stem rot severity, plant development, yield, and quality of rice
1943
Cralley, E.M. | Adair, C.R.
Experiments were conducted to study the effect of irrigation, treatments on the severity of stem rot, tillering, plant height, yield, and milling quality of rice. Stem rot severity was slightly reduced by withholding water from experimental plots for certain periods prior to harvest and by alternate draining and submergence during the latter part of the growing season. The average yields, however, were somewhat higher from plots irrigated normally; that is, submerged continuously during the latter part of the growing season. The data indicate that early draining, when practiced in fields lightly infested with stem rot, does not increase the yields of rice. Various draining treatment when compared with the normal irrigation practice failed to increase plant height, tillering, weight of panicle, or yield, nor did they improve the milling quality of the rice.
