Description
Two N rate, time of application and plant density experiments were conducted
at Grand Rapids during 1974. Forty pounds of N per acre applied
prior to seeding produced the highest yield. There was no advantage of
using higher N rates or top dress applications. Total uptake of N by
the plant was related to the rates used. This would indicate that wild
rice can obtain fertilizer N from mineral paddy soils quite readily.
Highest yields were obtained with plant densities of 5 or 10 plants
per square foot. While low density plants produced 12 tillers each.
less than 2 tillers per plant were found at the highest density.
Nitrogen fertilization had little effect on tillering . Lodging appeared
to be more severe on high density plots receiving 120 lb/Acre N.
Two experiments were conducted on commercial paddies in Aitkin county
to study N and K effects on disease. The least diseased and lodged
plants were found on plots receiving 200 1 b/Acre of K20 combined with
Oar 40 lb/Acre of N. These beneficial effects of high potassium
rate were nullified on peat, however, by the application of 120 lb/Acre
of nitrogen. Grain yields were not related to fertilizer treatments.
Fertilization had no effect on N and K concentration of 2nd leaf at
jointing stage.
