The productivity of upland rice increases with the number of plants per unit area to the point where intraspecific competition for nutrients, water, light and other factors of production limits the productive process. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of spacing on the production of highland rice irrigated in the brazilian savannas. The experiment was conducted from May to October of the year 2015 in Goianésia -GO, in the experimental area of the Evangelical Faculty of Goianésia. The BRS Primavera variety was tested in four spacings (20, 30, 40 and 50 cm) between rows and density of 100 seeds per meter and used as sprinkler irrigation. The experimental design was in randomized blocks, with four treatments with three replicates. The results showed that the spacing of 30 cm between rows provided higher productivity in the BRS Primavera variety.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
