Super hybrid rice, Liangyoupeijiu was grown in conventional tillage transplanting (CTTP) and no tillage transplanting (NTTP) at a spacing of 20 x 20 cm with one seedling per hill and conventional tillage direct-seeding (CTDS) and no tillage direct seeding (NTDS) at a seeding rate of 22.5 kg/ha to compare the growth and physiological responses during 2011-12, in Changsha, Hunan Province, China. Our results indicated that leaf area index (LAI) was higher at booting stage (BT) in transplanting (TP) and at HD stage in direct seeding method (DS) both CT (conventional tillage system) and NT (no till...
