The effect of intermittent water stress and nutrient solution EC on dry matter partitioning in leaf, stem, root and panicle of rice were studied. The rice plants were grown in NFT. Results revealed that in the unstressed situation 51.2% of the dry matter was translocated to panicles in the EC 3.0 plants and 40.8% in the EC 2.0 plants. Under drought stress situation especially during the reproductive phase only 24.6-34.1% of the dry matter was transferred to the panicle, most of the dry matter (37.1-45.8%) was concentrated in the stem. The EC 2.0 plants had a greater proportion of dry matter in the roots than the EC 3.0 plants.
