Summary

The growth of improved short varieties of rice with low and high tillering capacities was compared under a wide range of nitrogen levels and spacings. A high tillering variety performed better than a low tillering one under the experimental conditions tested. Leaf area index values as high as 10 to 12 were not detrimental to grain production unless the crop lodged.
