Abstract

An experimental of split-plot design in RCBD was conducted during the 1981 wet season to determine the effect of seeding density on the seedbed and plant population per hill on the yield and agronomic performance of 40-day old transplanted rice seedling.

Seed sown as lower densities on seedbed (33 and 50 g/m2) produced more vigorous seedlings than those sown at higher densities (100 and 250 g/m2). Statistical analysis showed that seedling density had no significant effect on yield and components except on the member of panicles/hill. Plant population/hill significantly affected yield, number of panicles/hill and tiller number except for % unfilled grains and weight of 100-grains.

Seeding density and plant population/hill did not show considerable interaction effect on grain yield of IR-54 indicating an independent response of yield to the treatment combination imposed.
