Zusammenfassung: | This field experiment evaluated the performance of different rice genotypes under lowland and upland irrigation systems with and without potassium fertilization. The most popular six rice genotypes grown in China; two Indica hybrids viz. Liangyoupei 9 and Xieyou 9308, and four Japonica rice varieties viz. Bing 0001, Bing 0004, Bing 9904 and Huayu # 1 were used in this study. Impacts of two potassium (K) levels (0 & 180 kg per ha) and two irrigation systems (lowland & upland) were investigated for yield attributes, grain yield and K uptake of these genotypes. Potassium fertilizer increased the yield of rice, but the response of different genotypes was variable. Effect of upland system on rice yield was diverse with K levels and rice genotypes, whereas K uptake by rice grains was significantly lower than in lowland. Genotypes showed statistical variation for production in both irrigation systems and response to K fertilization. |
