Title: Effect of Seedling Age on Internode Elongation of Rice Plant
Abstract: Three different improved pre-release rice varieties, when transplanted at different ages of seedlings, showed that 40 day old seedlings produced the longest panicle, whereas 30 day old seedlings produced the highest culm length among treatments in all treated varieties. 40 day or older seedlings reduced the culm length remarkably mainly due to decrease in lower internodes in IET7251 and BG400-1, and due to upper as well as lower internodes in B44b-50-2-2-5-1. 30 day old seedlings produced maximum number of visible internodes. Heading as weil as maturity was delayed with increasing age of seedling.
