Regression models between yield, quality and the three cultivation measures were built to study the effects of the three cultivation measures on rice yield and quality. The results showed that the yield and quality were influenced in various degrees. An optimization measure for high yield and low chalky ratio was simulated by computer,which was 214500 clumps per ha, 140.2 kg N per ha and N 136.6 kg per ha.展开更多
