Abstract
Lodging of rice in Iraq reduces production by 30-35% and may be related to the agronomic practice of supplying high nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) nutrition in the absence of applied potassium (K). An experiment was undertaken in glasshouses at the University of New England to investigate the effect of K fertilisation on rice growth using a standard rice variety similar to that grown in Iraq (Amber13). Two semidwarf varieties known to have different susceptibility to lodging were used for comparison. Amber13 was most susceptible to lodging. Application of K significantly increased tiller number (40-140%), plant height (
