Abstract: Eleven rice cultivars and three different seed soaking time (24h, 120h and 168h) were used to investigate the effect of different seed soaking time on germinative energy and germinative percentage of rice seed. The results showed that there were significant difference in germinative energy and germinative percentage of different rice cultivars, seed soaking time had no significant effect on germinative energy but had significant effect on germinative percentage of rice seed, and it was disadvantaged to seed germinate that seed soaking time was too short or long. Seed soaking for 5d was advantage for germinates in this study.
