Abstract: In order to investigate the relationship between effective tillers of rice and soil water content, experiments were carried out with early rice ‘Ganxin 203’ and late rice ‘Wufengyou T025’, the treatment without field drying was used as CK, four field drying treatments were conducted, which were field drying for 5 days (W1) and 10 days (W1) when tillers came to 70% expected panicles, field drying for 5 days (W3) and 10 days (W4) when tillers came to 80% expected panicles, soil volumetric water content in 5, 10 and 20 cm depth was monitored by soil moisture recorder, the effect of soil water content under different field drying treatments was investigated. The results showed that treatment W1, W3, and W4 of early rice and W2 and W3 of late rice could reduce ineffective tillers and increase earbearing tiller percentage in late tillering stage. The treatment effect of early rice was W4> W1> W3> CK> W2, and that of late rice was W2> W3> W1> CK> W4. The relationship between effective tillers of per plant, earbearing tiller percentage and soil volumetric water content in 5, 10 and 20 cm depth could be fitted by the quadratic curve. Effective tiller number and earbearing tiller percentage reached the highest when 0-20 cm soil volumetric water content reached 47%-55% at late tillering stage after field drainage and drying.
