Performance Evaluation of Some Rice Varieties under the System of Planting in Egypt

Abstract

Rice is planting in different ways in Egypt; including direct seeding and transplanting seedling, so most of farmers facing problems in select any method and variety which may be led to highly income. Experiments ware conducted carried out during summer season at years 2016 and 2017, in privet Farm in east Delta Egypt, to investigate production of three varieties of Rice (Sakha 102, Giza 178 and Giza 182), affected by two sowing methods (direct seeding and seedling transplanting) under treatment of NPK concentration (0.0, 2% and 4%) as form 20:20:20 NPK, were arranged in split split-plot design with three replications. The results showed the superiority of the method of planting on the method of planting in both seasons. Increase in NPK concentration with Giza 178 under direct seeding recorded highly data for vegetative and physiology parameter; yield and yield component, and contents from some chemical contents in leaves and grains, while all parameter in this study recorded lowest data with Giza 182 under control NPK and transplanting.
