Abstract
To investigate the effect of planting date, spacing and seeding methods on disease development and yield components of rice, a factorial experiment in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replications was conducted during 2011 planting season at Izzi Local Government Area (LGA) of Ebonyi State, Nigeria. This experiment was carried out with four levels of planting dates (early June, late June, early July and late July), three levels of spacing (15, 20 and 25 cm) and two levels of seeding method (direct seeding and seedling transplanting). The studied traits included plant height (PH), number of tillers (NT), leaf area (LA), root length (RL), panicle length (PL), 1,000 seed weight (SW), disease incidence and severity. The result showed that all the factors had significant effect on the parameters measured. Sowing in early July had the highest LA of 65.38 cm 2 , PH of 122.00 cm, RL of 29.04 cm and TN of 10.54, and the second largest PL of 25.08 cm and SW of 25.12 g. Also sowing in early July had the highest disease severity of 3.21, followed by 3.14 which occurred in late July, while the least 2.17 occurred in early June. The direct seeding method had the highest disease incidence of 70.83%, followed by plant spacing of 15 cm 15 cm which had the disease incidence of 69.72%, while sowing in early June had the least disease incidence of 57.50%. In conclusion, planting of rice in Southeastern Nigeria should be done in early July, as the yield components were significantly better than in other dates though with the highest disease severity.
