Effect of planting system and seedling number on growth and rice yield rice Inpari-IR-Nutri Zinc

Abstract

Rice Inpari-IR-Nutri Zinc is a biofortified product with a high zinc content compared to other types of rice. This study aimed to obtain the best planting system and the number of seeds in increasing the growth and yield of Inpari IR Nutri Zinc. This study used a Divided Plot Design which was repeated four times. There was a total of 32 treatment combinations. The planting system (S) is placed as the main plot consisting of S1 (4: 1 Legowo Planting System) and S2 (Tile Planting System), while the number of seeds (J) as sub-plots consists of J1 (1 seed), J2 (3) seeds), J3 (3 seeds) and J4 (7 seeds). The planting system and the number of seeds had a significant effect on the variables of plant height, total tiller number, number of productive tillers, the weight of 1,000 seeds, panicle length, and rice production of Inpari IR Nutri Zinc. The use of seeds of 1 and 3 plants produced 4.74 and 4.60 tons/ha. The legowo 4: 1 planting system had 4.88
