Application of 1.25 and 2.50 t ha−1 of enriched pressmud compost were at par with respect to registering maximum plant height, number of tillers, number of productive tillers and dry matter production.
Plant height, number of tillers, number of leaves, fresh weight, dry weight, chlorophyll content, and LAI/plant of P. glaucum were positively correlated with sugar mill effluent concentrations in both seasons (Table 11).
The growth and yield components of the paddy crop was evaluated by taking the biometric observations, viz., plant height, number of tillers, number of productive tillers, number of seeds per panicle, dry matter production, thousand grain weight and yields of grain and straw at appropriate stages.
Plant growth was monitored every two weeks in terms of plant height, number of tillers, chlorophyll contents (spat) and flowering (a total of 5 observations, the last on 08/25/2010).
We measured plant height, number of tillers per plant, the number of blasted tillers (by rice stem borers) and folded leaves (by leaf-folders) at the beginning of flowering time.
The results showed that YIL18 had the prostrate growth tendency with lower height of canopy, more tillers, narrower leaves and smaller leaf area index, when compared with those of Teqing.
The height of plants, number of tillers, and leaf color (SPAD value; Konika Minolta, Japan) of the largest leaves were measured for all plants in the inner six hills of each replication (Fig. 3b, black hills) on 3 June (16 DAT), 17 June (30 DAT), 29 June (42 DAT), 12 July (55 DAT), 26 July (69 DAT), and 27 August (101 DAT).
After observing a general significant reduction of plant height during tillering, booting and anthesis stages of the tall and semi-dwarf genotypes with a dwarf exception.
In this algorithm, phenotypical traits such as leaf angles, plant heights, the maximum number of tiller, and the angle of tiller are considered as input parameters of our virtual rice model.
ShB severity was rated at 52 DAT, and seedling height and number of tillers per plant were rated at 60 DAT.
This resulted in a higher plant height, total number of tillers and panicles, filled grain percentage and a rice yield that was 32 36% higher compared to the control, and farmer's profitability even increased 2.5 2.9 times.
