The effect of water deficits on growth and yield of rice depend on the stage of crop growth at which the water deficits occur. i. Vegetative Growth Stage: Immediately after transplanting, adequate land submergence (5 cm) is necessary to prevent damage to establishing seedlings from high winds and for root development. Following the early rooting […]

Agronomically, it is convenient to divide the life cycle of rice in terms of three phases – vegetative, reproductive and ripening phase. Development in each phase is further divided according to 0-9 numerical scale to identify the growth stages of a rice plant. Each number in the scale corresponds to a specific growth stage. Life […]

In this article we will discuss about the growth and development of rice. 1. Roots: Rice form a fibrous root system consisting of seminal, nodal and lateral roots. Seminal roots originate from embryo, whereas nodal roots emerge from stem. Both produce numerous lateral roots. On germination, the primary root emerges followed by two additional seminal […]
