Shafi Nazir 4200214Investigation on the effect of seedling age on agronomic traits of fine rice revealed that forty days old seedlings resulted in increased number of panicle bearing tillers, which produced the maximum grain yield of 3.7 t ha -1, while fifty days old seedlings gave the minimum grain yield of 3.1t ha -1. Number of spikelets panicle -1 and 1000-grain weight were also improved, though the differences among the treatments were not large enough to reach the level of significance.]]>Ali, M.Y. and M.
