Abstract:

In order to clarify the effects of cultivation density on the growth characteristics, yield and quality of different types of rice cultivars under dry seeding conditions, the rice varieties suitable for dry seeding in Yanshan County and their suitable cultivation densities were screened out. Using the indica rice varieties: ‘Guang8you 1973’, ‘Huazheyou 261’, Japonica rice varieties: ‘Yunliangyou 502’, and‘Yunkejing 1’ as the test materials, four cultivation density levels were set and the dry seeding and dry management was used to conduct experiments in Yanshan County, Wenshan Prefecture, Yunnan Province, and the effects of cultivation density on the growth characteristics, yield and quality of different types of rice varieties under dry seeding conditions were analyzed. The results showed that indica rice materials was advanced in the booting stage and the full heading stage under high density, and matured 1-3 days earlier than the low-density conditions, while the japonica rice material was the opposite. All four cultivars had the highest plant heights at B3 (1.08 million/hm2) density. The SPAD value of sword leaves of rice plants was less affected by the cultivation density, and with the increase of density, the second leaf first increased and then decreased, and the highest at the density of B2 (0.9 million /hm2), and the third leaf showed a downward trend. The leaf area index increased with the increase of rice density at full heading stage. The treatment combination with higher yields was A2B3 and A2B4, with the highest yield of the indica variety ‘Guang8you 1973’. All four cultivars had the highest yield at B4 (1.26 million/hm2) cultivation density, indicating that B3 density was conducive to rice plant growth and B4 density was more conducive to rice yield formation. The cultivation density is positively correlated with the effective panicle, but the number of grains per panicle is relatively low at high density, indicating that the effective panicle can be increased under the high density treatment, but it is not conducive to the cultivation of large panicles. The influence of cultivation density on the seed-setting rate of indica rice varieties was not obvious, and the seed-setting rate of japonica rice increased with the increase of cultivation density, and the weight of 1000 grains was less affected by the cultivation density. Among the four rice cultivars, the appearance quality of A1 decreased with the increase of density, and there was no obvious regularity in amylose content, the gel consistency and protein content between different densities, and the quality of rice of the remaining varieties was not significantly affected by cultivation density. Under the ecological conditions of this study, the indica rice variety ‘Guang8you 1973’ was selected to carry out rice dry seeding under the cultivation density of 1.08 million/hm2 to 1.26 million/hm2, and the group growth could be suitable for this ecological and environmental conditions and achieve high yield.
