Characteristics of NERICA Varieties
To identify Agronomical characteristics of NERICA varieties
(1) Yield performance in different ecologies ・ Yield and Yield component analysis
(2) Growth characteristics to develop cultivation method in different ecology
・ Leaf age and Tillering vs. time, Heading date, etc.

Present Situation of Upland Rice Cultivation Method in West Africa
・ Deficiency of the Strategy for Upland Rice Cultivation
especially early maturing variety (NERICAs)
↓ Cultivation method is used as same as lowland Rice
one and/or late maturing variety.
Exp: Timing of the fertilizer application
1st : Basal (before sowing)
2nd : 3 weeks after sowing

Concept of Complementary Tech.
• According to the Yield Component Analysis:
(1) To Assure the No. of the Panicles/hill
・ No. of the sown seeds/ pocket
・ Sowing Depth
(2) To increase % of ripened grains
・ Change of the Fertilizer Application Timing
Page 20
Development of Cultivation Method
• Seeding
(1) The number of seeds per hill
(2) Depth from soil surface
(3) Seeding Method
• Timing of fertilizer application

Visual Indicator of Initial of Young Panicle Differentiation and Formation Stage
3rd leaf before flag leaf
2nd leaf before flag leaf
4th leaf before flag leaf
The 3rd leaf before flag leaf is much longer than 4th one.
When the height of the 2nd leaf before flag leaf is as the same as the 3rd one, young panicle can be seen in many case(1~2mm length).
