The effect of row ratio and leaf clipping on outcrossing rate and seed yield of MR365A (a CMS line developed at IRRI [International Rice Research Institute, Los Banos, Laguna, Philippines]) were evaluated during 1984-85 wet season, in a split-plot design with three replications. Seedlings (21 d) were transplanted at 1 seedling/hill with 20- x 20- cm spacing. Among the three male-to-female ratios tested, seed yields of 1B:4A and 1B:2A were significantly higher than that of 2B:4A. Seed set was not significantly different among the ratios. Leaf clipping increased seed set, but significantly reduced grain/panicle, perhaps because of lower panicle exsertion. Filled grains/panicle and seed yield/sq.m. were not affected by leaf clipping. There was no interaction between row ratio and leaf clipping.
