Abstract
SUMMARYExperiments were conducted in glasshouses at the Agronomy Department, International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), Philippines, in 1987 and 1988 to test the effects of small amounts of additional N applied at different times during the vegetative and reproductive phases of growth on rice yield components and on spikelet differentiation and survival.The results showed that an additional 10 kg/ha of N fertilizer had the largest effect on maximum spikelet number when applied at growth stage (GS) 1·9 but was too low to sustain the survival of the differentiated spikelets. Applications after panicle initiation did not lead to an increased survival of spikelets. Foliar N application at GS 5·5 did increase spikelet survival.The results confirm the role of limited N supply in restricting yields of rice. Altering the timing of N inputs seems unlikely to improve spikelet survival.
