Ratoon rice (Oryza sativa L.) refers to the second crop made from the regrowth following main-crop harvest. The ratoon crop is receiving increasing attention in US rice production systems due to the increasing prevalence of early-maturing genotypes with good ratoon-yield potential, and the economic pressure on producers to maximize seasonal yields. Field studies were conducted in 2002 through 2005 to evaluate the influence of gibberellin (GA) applied to the main crop on ratoon-rice yields. Gibberellin at 10 g ai/ha was applied when the main-crop was between 3 days post-flowering and soft-dough. Various cultivars were tested in field research plots at two locations in Texas. The data were analyzed using a paired t-test of medians to evaluate GA-treated plots compared to nontreated plots. Main-crop yields were not influenced by application of GA, while ratoon-crop yields were increased 264 kg/ha by the GA application. Ratoon-crop yields were higher in GA-treated plots vs. nontreated plots in 14 of 17 studies. The very early-maturing vigorous hybrids responded strongly to GA treatment, with average increases in ratoon yield due to the GA treatment of 697 kg/ha. The GA treatment slightly delayed main-crop development.
