      abstract = {An experiment was conducted at the Agronomy Field  Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University,  Mymensingh
during the period from April to August 2011 to  find out the effect of spacing and number of seedlings  hill-1 on the
performance of Aus rice cv. NERICA 1. Four  spacing viz. 25 cm × l5 cm, 20 cm × l5 cm. 20 cm × 10 cm  and 15 cm ×
10 cm and four number of seedlings hill-1 viz.  2, 3, 4 and 5 were included in the experiment. The  experiment was laid
out in a randomized complete block  design with three replications. The highest number of total  tillers m-2, number of
effective tillers m-2, number of  grains panicle-1, grain yield, straw yield, biological  yield and harvest index were
obtained from 20 cm × 10 cm  spacing. Plant height and 1000- grain weight were not  significantly affected by spacing.
Number of seedlings  hill-1 exerts a significant effect on plant height. The  highest value of total tillers m-2, number of
effective  tillers m-2, total grains panicle-1, grain yield, straw  yield, biological yield and harvest index were obtained  from
five seedlings hill-1. The interaction between spacing  and number of seedlings hill-1 significantly influenced  yield and
plant characters. The highest number of effective  tillers m-2, grains panicle-1, grain yield, straw yield and  biological
yield were recorded from the interaction between  20 cm × 10 cm and five seedlings hill-1.},
