Effects of Planting Pattern on the Interception of Solar Radiation by the Canopy and the Light Extinction Coefficient of the Canopy in Rice Plants Direct-sown in a Submerged Paddy Field

In order to investigate effects of planting pattern on the interception of solar radiation by the canopy and the light extinction coefficient of the canopy in rice, the rice plants direct-sown in a submerged paddy field were grown in six planting patterns (A through F). In plots A, B and C, the plan...
