Field investigations were carried out to ascertain the influence of varying sowing methods (wet-seeding and transplanting), on the growth and grain yield of two lowland rice varieties, NIBAM 108 and NIBAM10 at Mwea and Ahero Irrigated Schemes. The treatments were laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replicates per site. Results indicated that yields of NIBAM 108 under wet seeding were significantly (P -1 in the first and second season respectively. However, there were no significant yield differences with the same variety at Mwea). At Mwea, NIBAM 10 yielded significantly (P -1 in the first and second season respectively. There were no significant (P -2 under wet seeding than under transplanting (Ahero, fisrt season 332.7, second season 495 tillers m -2 , while at Mwea first season had 630 and second season 633 tillers m -1 . Those tillers under wet seeding at both Ahero and Mwea took significantly (P Int. J. Agric. Rural Dev. , 2003, 4: 39-45 |
