Abstract:

To clarify the elasticity of seedling age of two indica hybrid rice cultivars ‘Guangliangyou 7217’ and ‘Tianyouhuazhan’, the effect of different seedling ages (25, 30, 35, 40 and 45 days) treatment on yield, seedling quality, growth process, tillering ability and biomass of late rice were studied by wet seedling cultivation and manual transplanting. The results showed that the yield of the two cultivars increased first and then decreased with the increase of seedling age, and the yield under the 30-day-old seedling age treatment was the highest, increased by 15.8% and 8.2%, respectively, compared with the lowest yield of each cultivar under seedling age treatments. The increase of yield was due to the increase of the total number of spikelet, and the setting rate had no significant difference. Along with the increase of seedling age, the seedling height and leaf age increased, the tillering per plant decreased, the dry weight of 100 plants and plumpness first increased and then decreased; the growth period was ahead of time, especially the initial heading; the biomass first increased and then decreased, and the harvest index increased. In conclusion, the appropriate seedling age for ‘Guangliangyou 7217’ is 30 days, no more than 35 days. The appropriate seedling age for ‘Tianyouhuazhan’ is 30-35 days, and the elasticity of seedling age is relatively big.
