Abstract:

The experiments were conducted in double cropping rice field during 2005–2006 to study the effects of different tillage methods on rice yield and its source-sink characteristics. The results showed that the effect on panicle number was lower and on filled grain percentage was higher in no-tillage cast transplanting treatment than in conventional tillage cast transplanting treatment. With the time of no-tillage increased, rice yield in different treatments did not differ significantly. The leaf area index during growth stages, the population photosynthetic potential, photosynthetic potential-grain ratio, bleeding potential in neek of spike, ratio of source to sink in increment and mean grain filling rate in no-tillage treatment were higher than those in conventional tillage treatment, but the grain-leaf ratio in no-tillage treatment was lower than that in conventional tillage treatment. The content of chlorophyll was higher and the content of MDA was lower in flag leaf after heading in no-tillage treatment than in conventional tillage treatment. No-tillage treatment was delayed leaf senescence, facilitated the accumulation and transportation of carbohydrate, and improved grain setting rate.
