A comparative study of grain and some morpho-physiological characters in six varieties of rice

Six varieties of rice were grown in pots and their growth and rate of leaf senescence, rate of grain filling, grain yield and some morpho-physiological characters were examined. The results indicated that the increase of grain weight occurred only in first three weeks after anthesis. High yielders w...
