Variety.

This

refers to

a group of

similar

plants

which

by

structural features and performance can identified from other varieties with the same species. Vegetative growth. This is the period in which internal change occurred preparatory to the fastest rate of growth.

II.REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

This chapter contains relevant information related to this research in order to provide integral approach towards yield sustainability. Plant Spacing and Seedling Age: Their effect to plant Growth and Development. Experimental seedlings results at conducted spacing of elsewhere 20 x 25 showed that

transplanted

centimeters

obtained -a maximum yield of 7.2 tons per hectare. In the study of Obien (1992) he mentioned that closer spacing makes walking N plants difficult and growth of plants is affected. Normally spacing for transplanted single plant per hill is 30 cm x 20 cm. In this spacing, Jennings (1989) stated that completion is somewhat less in transplanted rice when population's density is appropriate and the rouging of undesirable phenotypes is much easier. Proper spacing in rice is the key factor in obtaining

maximum yield. Studies revealed that during wet season some rice varieties are not responsive to closer spacing due to low solar radiation (Coffman, 1988). According to Kaufman (1989) reported that standard spacing between rows is 30 centimeters, because marking of rows,

planting and selecting are difficult at closer spacing. At row spacing wider than 30 centimeters growth of weeds increases that compete with rice during their early growth.

Sta Cruz (1991) found out that seedlings transplanted 20 days after sowing produced more number of tillers and fast

recovery after transplanting. He claimed that the younger the seedlings transplanted in the filed the faster development of new young roots was observed. He further noted that young roots have the ability to absorb nutrients in order for the seedlings to produce greater number of tillers. As stated by Sharma (1994) seedlings transplanted at 30 days after sowing, the roots could not spread wider thereby tillers per plant decrease. He mentioned that accumulation of

phtosynthates in older seedlings is lesser due to the maturity of vascular bundles. Phil. Rice 91995) reported that transplanting rice 20 x 20

centimeters distance between hills during wet season compensates for low sunlight and prevent mutual shading days after sowing

III. METHODOLOGY

A.

Securing of Seeds

A certified seeds of PSB RC-28 variety was secured from Isabela Seed Growers, Cauayan City. B. Locating the Experimental Area A lowland area with fairly leveled soli, free from weeds and other materials and accessible to source of irrigation water was used in the study. C. Seedbed Preparation To insure the even distribution of water the area of seedbed was leveled. Then, the soil surface was elevated and good drainage was provided. This was done after plowing and puddling the soil.
