Average (S.D.) Plant height (cm), plant density (plants/m2) and number of tillers (per plant) in the control and treatment paddies before and after the first and second Aquatain application. The average crop yield (kg/plot) of the control and treatment paddies is also given. n.s., no significant difference (t-test, p>0.05).
