The Effect Of Preflood Nitrogen And Flood Establishment Timing On Rice Development, Nitrogen Uptake And Grain Yield, Tyler Richmond
The Effect Of Preflood Nitrogen And Flood Establishment Timing On Rice Development, Nitrogen Uptake And Grain Yield, Tyler Richmond
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Urea-N fertilizer is typically applied at the 5-leaf stage to rice (Oryza sativa L.) grown in a dry-seeded, delayed-flood production system. How long the preflood-N can be delayed without adverse effects on yield potential is poorly understood. The research objective was to determine the effects of preflood-N application and flood establishment timing on aboveground-N content, 50% heading, yield components, and grain yield. Trials were established on silt loam soils at the Pine Tree Research Station (PTRS) and Rice Research and Extension Center (RREC) during 2015 and 2016. Urea-N was applied at 0, 45, 90, 135, and 180 kg N ha-1 …

Due to rice’s wide geographic distribution, extending from 50°N to 35°S, rice is
forecasted to be the most vulnerable crop to warming global climates. Previous studies have
predicted lower rice yields and increasing rice yield variability due to higher frequencies of heat
stress events, and a higher variability in precipitation patterns due to global warming. As such,
understanding the effects of drought and heat stress intensity and frequency on rice yields is of
upmost importance to feeding the growing global population.
Given that drought and high-temperature stress often occur together, it is essential to
disaggregate the two individual stressors and …
