Abstract
In a previous paper (1) it was pointed out that in rice heavy mutual shading produced by a large leaf area at high nitrogen levels results in an inefficient utilization of light for dry matter production. Because of mutual shading, tall, leafy varieties do not show yeild responses to nitrogen, especially under the limited sunshine conditions which prevail during the rainy season in the tropics.Keywords
