New giant rice variety boosts yield and efficiency with less nitrogen.
The study looked at how different amounts of nitrogen fertilizer affect the growth and yield of giant rice varieties. They found that increasing nitrogen levels led to higher plant growth and grain yield, but also increased the risk of lodging (plants falling over). The research showed that there is an optimal amount of nitrogen fertilizer that can maximize grain yield without causing negative effects. This information can help farmers determine the best amount of nitrogen to use for growing giant rice efficiently.
