Effect of Field Drainage on Root Lodging Tolerance in Direct-Sown Rice in Flooded Paddy Field

To elucidate the effect of drainage of paddy fields on root lodging tolerance in direct-sown rice, we measured the pushing resistance (R), diameter of hill at the base (Dm), shoot dry weight (Ws) and root dry weight (Wr), in rice varieties grown using several irrigation management schemes that diffe...
