Partial efficiency of N is defined as the increase in yield of grain or straw for unit increase in N absorbed by the plant. In these experiments, partial efficiency for grain yield is considered. When grown at low levels of N (10 ppm), O. sativa var. indica had 2 peak periods of partial N efficiency for grain production: (1) tillering stage, determining tiller number and panicle number; and (2) flowering time between boot- and milk-stage, influencing grain weight per panicle.
