Abstract

The research work was carried out at Experimental Farm of Rice
Research and Training Center (RRTC), Sakha, Kafr EL-Sheikh Egypt, during
two successive rice seasons 2014 and 2015 to study the behaviour of nine
tested genotypes which differs mainly in their growth duration and relationship
between growth duration and cropping intensification in Egypt. Also, to study
the performance of some Egyptian rice varieties for some agronomical and
physiological traits. Analysis of variance indicated that genotypes under study
were significantly different in all studied traits. Based on days to heading, data
obtained revealed that short durations rice varieties such as Sakha105 and
Sakha102 could be a pertinent use for cropping intensification and ensured a
third crop with a short duration period like vegetable crops or save the area
after rice to raise onion seedlings which are grown in 1.5 months.
