Abstract:

In order to investigate the response of yield and quality of high-quality japonica rice with different grain shapes to the regulation of sowing date in northern Zhejiang and to provide basis for reasonable sowing date of high-quality japonica rice with different grain shapes in this region. From 2019 to 2020, field experiments were conducted and a two factor randomized block design was adopted. Long grain japonica rice Jiahexiang No.1 (L) and round grain japonica rice Zhehexiang No.2 (R) were set at 2 levels. The sowing dates were set at 5 levels: May 15 (S1), May 25 (S2), June 4 (S3), June 14 (S4), and June 24 (S5). A total of 10 treatments were used to study the effects of sowing date regulation on the yield and quality of high-quality japonica rice with different grain shapes in northern Zhejiang. The results showed that the full sowing duration of L-type and R-type high-quality japonica rice was shortened with the delay of sowing date. In terms of actual yield, the yield of L-type high-quality japonica rice [(10.83±0.02) t·hm-2] was basically stable under different sowing dates, and the difference was not significant. The trend of inter annual yield change of R-type high-quality japonica rice was different, the yield of R-S2 was significantly (P<0.05) higher than that of R-S1 in 2019, the difference of yield under different treatments was not significant in 2020. Correlation network analysis showed that sowing date regulation had a greater impact on R type high-quality japonica rice. The sunshine duration, accumulated temperature and precipitation in rice growth period decreased significantly with the delay of sowing date. The effective panicle number and amylose content of L-type high-quality japonica rice significantly increased, the ratio of grain length to width and taste quality significantly decreased with the delay of sowing date. The effective panicle number, grain length and protein content of R type high-quality japonica rice significantly increased, and plant height and milled rice rate significantly decreased with the delay of sowing date. The comprehensive score of principal component analysis showed that the comprehensive score of long grain high-quality japonica rice was L-S4 (0.902)>L-S3 (0.045)>L-S5 (0.013)>L-S2 (-0.407)>L-S1 (-0.552), the comprehensive score of round grain high-quality japonica rice was R-S4 (0.485)>R-S5 (0.349)>R-S3 (0.323)>R-S2 (-0.216)>R-S1 (-0.941). In conclusion, around June 14 was the suitable sowing date of long grain and round grain high-quality japonica rice in northern Zhejiang.
