- Observation Rice growth rates did not differ between drainage conditions in cooler seasons.
- Observation As conditions warmed, rice grew more rapidly in well-drained fields.
- Observation At harvest, well-drained rice had greater culm length, panicle number and kernel yield.
- Association Higher summer soil temperature was associated with heavier root decay in poorly aerated ill-drained fields.
