Abstract:
In order to explore the effect of rice seed treatment suspension (FS) on the growth of rice in dry land cultivation. In this paper, two seed treatment suspensions, i.e., sedaxane + pylocyanonitrile + metalaxyl 11% FS and clothianidin 18% FS were selected to treat rice seed (guang8you 1973). The effect of FS was assessed by standard germination, Q2 test, agronomic traits and yield. The results showed that: under laboratory conditions, germination vigor, germination percentage and increased metabolism time (IMT) of two FS with the 1 : 50 treatment (1 mL of agent is required to process 50 g of seeds, referred to as the ratio of FS to seed) had no significant effect on these parameter compare with the blank control under laboratory condition. However, the FS with the 1 : 50 treatment showed a shorter relative germination time (RGT), a higher starting metabolism rate (SMR), and the oxygen metabolism rate (OMR) was significantly higher than that of the blank control by 1.33% and 1.38% per hour, respectively. This results indicate that FS can improve seed respiration and seed vigor. The comparison between the two FS indicate that the clothianidin 18% FS had a better effect on seed vigor than the sedaxane + pylocyanonitrile + metalaxyl 11% FS under the field condition. The field performance was better than that of the blank control, among which the seedling rate of seed coating-agent treatment increased by 27.60%-33.20% compared with CK, the number of tillers increased by 71.14-97.82 per hectare, the plant height increased by 4.90-6.80 cm, the thousand-grain weight increased by 7.27%-9.09%, the effective panicle increased by 9.45-13.42 million panicles per hectare, and the actual yield increased by 529.85 kg/hm
2 and 580.70 kg/hm
2, and there were significant differences between them. The results showed that: coating rice seeds with sedaxane + pylocyanonitrile + metalaxyl 11% FS and clothianidin 18% FS at a seed ratio of 1 : 50 can effectively promote rice seed respiration, improve the performance and yield in dry land cultivation.
