Effects of seeding density and nitrogen fertilizer level on growth and yield of MT10 rice in Ninh Thuan
The experiment was conducted to determine seeding density and nitrogen fertilizer doses for the MT10 rice variety grown in the winter-spring crop 2015/2016 and the Summer-Autumn crop 2016 in Ninh Thuan. Both experiments were established using a randomized complete block design with three replications. The seeding density experiment was performed in winter-spring season 2015/2016, including density levels of 120, 160, 200 and 250 kg/ha. The nitrogen fertilizer dosage experiment was organized in summer 2016, including 4 levels of 100, 120, 140 and 160 kg N/ha. Other non-experimental elements were identical. The results showed that the highest yield and economic efficiency were for the treatments of 200 kg seed/ha with a nitrogen fertilizer dose of 140 kg N/ha.
