Effects of Artificial Direct Seeding and Artificial Transplanting on Rice Yield of Wuliangyou Huazhan

In order to clarify the suitable cultivation method of rice variety Wuliangyou Huazhan, the agronomic characters and yield of Wuliangyou Huazhan were compared and studied under two different planting methods of artificial transplanting and artificial direct seeding. The results showed that although the total number of grains per panicle and the number of filled grains per panicle by artificial direct seeding method were lower than those by artificial transplanting method, the tillering rate by artificial direct seeding method was stronger, and the seed setting rate and effective panicle number were also significantly higher than those by artificial transplanting method. Both the theoretical yield and effective yield by artificial direct seeding method were higher than those by artificial transplanting method. From the perspective of comprehensive benefits, compared with the artificial transplanting method, the artificial direct seeding method saved the cost of labor and seedling cultivation, reduced the labor intensity, and significantly advanced the growth process, which could improve the planting benefits of Wuliangyou Huazhan to a greater extent.
