Impact of incorporating wheat straw together with basal nitrogen ratio on panicle formation and grain yield in rice by Li Qin, Chenyu Wang, Hong Zhao, Shenqi Zhou, Kun Liu, Lijun Liu

“…Under WR, although the filled grains and grain weight were decreased in IP treatment, the total spikelets (panicles per unit area × spikelet number per panicle) was increased significantly, and the grain yield was finally increased significantly compared with FP, with an increase of 6.85 ~ 7.08%. (2) There was a strong positive link between the total spikelets and grain yield, but a substantial negative relationship between the total spikelets and the number of filled grains and grain weight. (3) Straw treatment and nitrogen treatment mainly affected the spikelet number per panicle by affecting the differentiation and degeneration of secondary branches and spikelets. …”
