Genotypic Differences in Potassium Nutrition in Lowland Rice Hybrids
نویسندگان
چکیده
China imports most of its potassium (K) requirements for crop production. The objective of this study was to evaluate indica rice hybrids for Kuse efficiency. Twenty-eight indica rice hybrids were evaluated in nutrient solution. The K influx rate was greatest in genotype Weiyou 64 (684.9 nmol K plant h) and least in genotype Xie A/909 (457.2 nmol K plant h). The K-use efficiency was greatest in genotype ShanA/909 [81.8 mg dry matter (DM) produced per mg K taken up] and least in genotype Shanyou 64 (55.9 mg mg). The maximum biomass was produced by genotype Shan A/4663-5 (100.8 mg DM per plant), and the least biomass was produced by genotype Xie A/4663-4 (59.1 mg DM per plant). These results suggest that K shortage for rice production can be alleviated by using K-efficient rice genotypes.

Prospects for Genetic Improvement to Increase Lowland Rice Yields with Less Water and Nitrogen
Increasing yield potential of lowland rice remains to be the top priority in rice geneticimprovement programmes, because rice farmers’ primary concern is still grain yield and world rice production has to increase by 1% annually in the next 20 years to meet the demand of the growing population. Improvements in yield potential of irrigated lowland rice were achieved under ample supply of water a...
متن کاملCHARACTERIZATION OF Zn EFFICIENCY IN IRANIAN RICE GENOTYPES I. UPTAKE EFFICIENY
Zn deficiency is one of the most important micro-nutritional disorders in lowland rice. In this work, fourteen Iranian rice cultivars were studied in the field as well as in solution culture experiments to determine genotypic differences for traits characterizing Zn efficiency. A low uptake efficiency was observed in some (Onda and Kadoos) of the Zn-inefficient genotypes. A relatively high corr...

Rice is a staple food in West Africa, where its demand keeps increasing due to population growth. Hence, there is an urgent need to identify high yielding rice cultivars that fulfill this demand locally. Rice hybrids are already known to significantly increase productivity. This study evaluated the potential of Asian hybrids with good adaptability to irrigated and rainfed lowland rice areas in ...
