SUMMARYTwo varieties of irrigated rice N.P. 130 (a tall variety) and Taichung Native-1 (a dwarf variety of indica rice) were compared in 1966 and 1967 when grown with several amounts of sodium nitrate and ammonium sulphate. Comparisons of ammonium sulphate treated with ‘N-Serve’ or with ‘AM’ against untreated ammonium sulphate were made.Applying more than 60–80 kg N/ha did not increase the number of panicles per m with N.P. 130 but lowered the number of spikelets and filled grain percentage. Up to 120 kg N/ha, panicle number and the number of spikelets of Taichung Native-1 increased significantly but the filled grain percentage was not increased; yield of grain responded significantly up to 120 kg N/ha. Taichung Native-1 yielded more grain and less straw than N.P. 130. Increasing the nitrogen applied significantly increased the yield of straw from both varieties.Ammonium sulphate increased panicle number and reduced the percentage of filled grain compared to sodium nitrate but the increase in panicle number was higher with Taichung Native-1 than with N.P. 130; as a result ammonium sulphate consistently increased the grain yield of Taichung Native-1. When the ammonium sulphate was treated with either inhibitor it gave more grain of Taichung Native-1 than untreated fertilizer; treated fertilizer gave more straw of both varieties.
