Abstract: Rice is the major staple food of China. The realization of its high yield has a great significance for food security and society stability. A field experiment was conducted in Changsha and Liuyang cities of Hunan Province during 2008–2010 to find out a cultivation technique that could increase the yield of double cropping super rice in South China. Super early rice Luliangyou996 and Lingliangyou 268 and super late rice Tianyouhuazhan and Fengyuanyou 299 were used in early and late season cropping, respectively. The cultivation patterns were designed as “Sanding” cultivation (tillage and transplanting, A), no tillage and seedling broadcasting (B), traditional cultivation (C) and no applied fertilizer (D). The characteristics of grain yield formation and their physiological attributes under different cultivation patterns were analyzed. Result showed that the grain yield of pattern A was significantly higher among the tested patterns irrespective of growing seasons, locations and years. Compared with pattern C, the pattern A significantly increased root bleeding intensity per flowering glume, root oxidation ability,root-shoot ratio, LAI and photosynthetic rate in flag leaves at heading stage, and the SPAD reading of pattern A decrease slowly and dry matter production was higher from heading to maturity stages. The average grain yield of pattern A (7.18 t hm-2 and 8.39 t hm-2 in early and late season rice, respectively) was 11.68% and 7.41% higher in early and late season, respectively, mainly due to the contribution of higher number of productive tiller and grain number per panicle. The dry matter accumulation and number of productive tiller of pattern B was higher but the harvest index (HI) and grain-filling percentage were lower than those of pattern C and there was no significant yield increasing or decreasing trend. Thus, the physiological characteristics could be improved through the practicing of “Sanding” cultivation technique which is very important to increase grain yield especially in South China rice production.
