The invention relates to the technical field of
hybrid rice seed production, and particularly provides a method for
sowing male parents in the same plate by stages in mechanical
hybrid rice seed production. The method comprises the steps that male parents are sown in the same
seedling tray twice according to the preset
sowing time difference, seedlings are controlled in a
blue light supplementary lighting or
uniconazole seed soaking mode, the competitive
advantage that the first-stage male parents are sown firstly is reduced, the leaf age difference is kept while the growth difference of the two-stage male parents is reduced, and under the condition that the growth period is not changed, the yield of the male parents is increased. The purpose that two stages of male parents exist during mechanical planting of the
hybrid rice male parents is achieved. Only one
seedling box needs to be occupied during
transplanting, the operation process is simplified, synchronous same-
machine mechanical planting of hybrid rice parents can be achieved through a conventional rice transplanter, multi-stage male parent single-row planting can be achieved, the occupied seed field area of male parents is reduced, production efficiency is improved, labor resources are saved, and the method is suitable for large-scale operation of a large-scale seed production base. The labor cost is reduced.
