Abstract
No-tillage cultivation of rice was evaluated in direct seeding on flooded paddy surface from 1993 to 1997. This study was conducted to examine the changes in weed occurrence, rice growth and yield during the no-tillage cultivation, and to clarify critical year limit for the no-tillage cultivation. In tillage paddy fields, Echinochloa crus-galli, Aneilema keisak Hassk., Monochoria vaginalis, Eleocharis kuroguwai Ohwi, and Polygonum hydropiper, etc. mainly emerged, whereas Echinochloa crus-galli, Aneilema keisak Hassk., Monochoria vaginalis, Eleocharis kuroguwai Ohwi, Alopecurus aequalis Sobol., Leersia japonica Makino, Sagittaria pygmaea Miq., Sagittaria trifolia L., Ottelia alismoides, and Potamogeton distinctus, etc. were the mainly occurring weed species in no-tillage paddy fields. Although eleven weed species emerged they tended to become simplified as the duration of no-tillage cultivation was increased. The most dominant weed species changed from Aneilema keisak Hassk. to Leersia japonica Makino in no-tillage paddy fields as the duration of no-tillage cultivation increased. In tillage paddy fields, however, Echinochloa crus-galli was the most dominant weed species. The number of the seedling stands in no-tillage paddy fields was 40-60 per and was lower than that in tillage paddy fields (79-92 per ). Dissolved oxygen and water depth in the paddy fields were the factors influencing the number of seedling stands. Rice plants in no-tillage paddy fields had a lower number of panicles than those in tillage paddy fields, but ripening rate, 1,000 grain weight and number of spikelets per panicle were similar. Rice plants in no-tillage paddy fields exhibited about 24% lower yield than those in tillage paddy fields when the plants were cultivated following 2 years of no-tillage cultivation. Regression equations between yield (y) and duration of no-tillage cultivation (x) can be obtained as follows, y = -58.6x + 525.0 () for direct seeding on flooded paddy surface. Considering that growth characteristics at late growth stage and yield of rice plants, critical year limit for no-tillage rice cultivation was found to be 1 year for direct seeding on flooded paddy surface
