Abstract

The objective of this research was to study the effect of nitrogen fertilizer on yield components and grain yield of Homwarin rice variety grown in low fertile loamy sand-textured soil. The experiment design was conducted using randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 3 replications. There were five control treatments with nitrogen (N) fertilizer at 0, 4, 8, 12, and 16 kg N/rai. Each control treatment was applied with phosphorus (P2O5) and potassium (K2O) fertilizers at 8 kg P2O5/rai and 12 kg K2O/rai, respectively. The results demonstrated that different rates of nitrogen fertilizer application caused significant difference in tiller per hill, panicles per hill and 1,000 grain weight of Homwarin rice variety (P<0.05), but caused no significant difference in height, percentage of heading, fresh and dry shoot weight, percentage of filled grain, percentage of unfilled grain and grain yield. However, application of nitrogen fertilizer at 8 kg N/rai produced the highest grain yield (906.75 kg/rai). Furthermore, it was also found that grain yield of Homwarin rice variety had positive correlation with height (r=0.919**), number of tillers per hill (r = 0.884**), number of panicles per hill (r = 0.886**), shoot fresh weight (r = 0.890**) and shoot dry weight (r = 0.954**). The difference rates of nitrogen fertilizer application caused significant difference in soil pH (P<0.05), but caused no significant difference in organic matter, nitrogen, available phosphorus and exchangeable potassium in soil after planting.
