Main Article Content
Abstract
Adlai is a versatile cereal crop with its exceptional agronomic trait of regrowing from the leftover stubble after harvest. The effect of different cutting heights was recorded on Ratooned Adlai's growth and production performance during two growing seasons, specifically looking at the Guinampay variety. Results showed that the 15-30 cm cutting heights in ratooned adlai was not significantly affected the number of days from ratooning to maturity, final plant height, number of tillers, weight of 1000 grains, actual grain yield, and projected grain yield. However, taller cutting heights of 20-30 cm increased the number of grains per tiller (P=<0.01) and percent filled grains(P=<0.05). The 15–30 cm cutting range is offered farmers a useful choice that supported the productivity and flexibility of adlai ratooning.
