PERCENTAGE OF UNDAMAGED GRAINS AND HULLING YIELD OF DRYLAND RICE AS AFFECTED BY ROW AND PLANT POPULATION

A field experiment was carried out on a clayey Dark Red Latosol in Selvíria, MS, Brazil, to study the effect of three row spacings (30, 40 and 50 cm) and three plant densities (100, 150 and 200 viable seeds/m2) on the hulling yield and the percentage of undamaged grains. There was no effect of row spacings and plant densities on hulling yield. Increasing plant population led to an increase of broken grains. The percentage of undamaged and broken grains were not affected by row spacing.
