Field performance of “Liangyou 616” as single cropping rice and double cropping late rice

“Liangyou 616” was introduced in order to screen high yield and high quality rice varieties which could be suitable to grow in Fu’an City. Demonstration planting of “Liangyou 616” both as single cropping rice and double cropping late rice was conducted in 2013. The results showed that the yield of “Liangyou 616” as single cropping rice was higher than that as double cropping late rice by 96.5 kg per 667 m² and 20.4% of yield. So it was suggested to extend the demonstration area of “Liangyou 616” used as single cropping rice.
