Yield Component Compensation As Affected By Seeding Rates In Dry Direct Seeded Rice, Crisanta S. Bueno, Rene B. Carandang, John Kenneth L. Motilla, Pompe C. Sta Cruz

The Philippine Agricultural Scientist

Sustainability of the transplanted and flooded rice system is threatened by water and labor availability in many Asian countries including the Philippines. Dry direct seeding instead of transplanting is evolving as a viable crop establishment option to deal with labor and water shortages. Two experiments from July 2020 to June 2021 were conducted to determine the effect of different seeding rates [20 kg ha^-1 (SR20), 40 kg ha^-1 (SR40), 60 kg ha^-1 (SR60), and 120 kg ha^-1 (SR120)] on the growth, grain yield, and yield components of 2 rice varieties that were established through direct seeding …
