Abstract
Ten late maturing rice varieties were evaluated under three levels of nitrogen fertilization (0,30 and 90kg N/ha) during the wet season of 1986 at the UPLB Central Experiment Station.
Varietal differences were observed for all characters. Significant differences among nitrogen levels were noted for days to heading, plant height at harvest, tiller number at three growth stages, and number of panicles per hill. Nitrogen x variety interaction was significant for tiller number at 45DAT and % unfilled grains only.
The varieties headed from 81 to 97 days while final height ranges from 79.1 to 96.3 cms. The tiller number ranged from 14 to 28 tillers per hill. The highest number of panicle was 19 panicles/hill while the longest panicle recorded was 27.5 cms. The number of filled grains ranged from 74-9- and the heaviest grains (100-grain basis) weighed 2.7 grams. The highest yield was obtained from IR 29288-12-3-1-1-2 with 2677kg rough rice/ha while the lowest was recorded for IR 18818-87-2-2-2 with 1697kg rough rice/hectare.
