Abstract:Through the comparative experiment of 15 rice varieties(lines) under the two direct seeding cultivation methods of dry direct seeding with soil moisture conservation and water supply after sowing, the differences of tiller growth and decline, yield and composition were studied. The results showed that the plant height of the tested materials was the highest under the condition of water supply after sowing, followed by transplanting, and the plant height of dry direct seeding with moisture conservation was the lowest. The tillering performance of transplanting cultivation mode was significantly higher than that of water supply after sowing and dry direct seeding with moisture conservation.The number of panicles, ear length and grains per panicle were significantly higher than those of transplanting control in water supply and soil moisture conservation dry direct seeding after sowing. The seed setting rate and1 000 grain weight were the highest under the condition of soil moisture conservation and dry direct seeding, followed by the transplanting method, and the lowest under the above water cultivation mode after sowing. Compared with the control, except for Ningjing 38, Ningjing 49 and 181, the yield of other tested materials was lower under the condition of water supply after sowing and direct seeding with moisture conservation.
