RESEARCH PRESENTATION (cont.)<br />
V. OBJECTIVE FIVE<br />
Collect variety development data others can use for developing DD-50 values for predicting critical<br />
growth stages.<br />
A. Methods<br />
Days <strong>from</strong> emergence to critical growth stages were recorded for all the varieties grown in the<br />
early <strong>and</strong> delayed planting studies at Beaumont <strong>and</strong> Eagle Lake.<br />
B. Results<br />
Growth interval data as shown in Figures 5-A <strong>and</strong> 5-B can help rice producers identify which<br />
varieties will mature first <strong>and</strong> last under delayed <strong>and</strong> early planting. Also the days to various<br />
growth stages coupled with heat unit accumulation can be used by research to develop DD-50<br />
data for predicting critical growth stages in specific varieties. Also Table 5B gives data on days<br />
<strong>from</strong> emergence to important growth stages.<br />
It was observed that higher N rate <strong>and</strong> lower plant population delay heading <strong>and</strong> maturity 3 to 5<br />
days.<br />
