Effects of SPAD value variations according to nitrogen application levels on rice yield and its components.

ABSTRACT: Nitrogen (N) is the most essential element for growth, development, and grain yield determination in crops. However, excessive nitrogen application can result in environmental pollution and greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change. In this study, we used 158 rice genetic resources to evaluate the relationships between the soil and plant analysis development (SPAD) value and grain yield (GY) and its components. The SPAD value ranged between 30.5 and 55.8, with a mean of 41.7 ± 5.3, under normal nitrogen conditions (NN, 9 kg/10a), and between 27.5 and 52.3, with a mean of 38.6 ± 4.8, under low nitrogen conditions (LN, 4.5 kg/10a). Under NN conditions, the SPAD values were in the following order: japonica (43.5 ± 5.8), Tongil-type (41.7 ± 2.5), others (41.7 ± 5
