| Abstract | In this study, three rice cultivars namely: Suphanburi 1, RD 23, and RD 7 were grown to establish their potential production parameters in a Bangkok plain environment. Calculation of potential production was determined by the parameters established in this experiment such as Leaf Area Index, Specific Leaf Area, Total dry matter and Partitioning factors. From these, the potential production in terms of total dry matter accumulation were found to have an average growth rate of 201.3, 187 . 97, and 173.36 kg/ha/day for RD 23, RD 7 and Suphanburi 1, respectively. Suphanburi 1 recorded an accumulated evapotranspiration of 518.2 mm which was highest among the 3 varieties. The computed total dry matter production per unit of water consumption was 25 . 8, 26 . 8, and 24.75 kg/mm of water for Suphanburi 1, RD 23, and RD 7 respectively. The actual grain produced was observed to be highest for Suphanburi 1 at 7.5 t/ha followed by RD 23 at 7.3 t/ha and RD 7 at 6.5 t/ha. |
