Abstract

Background and Objective: This research was conducted with the aim of investigating the seed yield of rice cultivars (Hashmi, Shiroudi and Fajr) in competition with weeds in three regions of Tarikola, Firouzabad and Firouzjah of Mazandaran province
 
Materials and Methods: This research was carried out as factorial complete randomized block design in three replications in Babol city of Mazandaran province in 2022 and 2021. The experimental factors included three regions Tarikola, Firouzabad and Firouzjah (with elevation of 8, 180 and 400 meters above sea level), three varieties of rice (Hashemi, Fajr and Shiroudi) in two levels of weed infestation (weeding and no weeding). Sampling of weeds was done during the stages of tillering, panicle inatiation, flowering and final harvesting, also, density and dry weight of weeds were measured separately. At the final harvesting stage, the seed yield of rice cultivars was measured. Also, the yield loss percentage and the competitiveness index of rice cultivars were calculated.
 
Results: The results showed that Echinochloa crus-galli, Cyperus rotundus and Paspalum distichum were the dominant weeds in the fields of rice cultivars. The highest weed density was observed in Hashemi variety in all three regions, and the density of weed species was higher in the final harvest stage than in other stages. The results showed that different regions (with different elevation above the sea level) have significantly influenced seed yield in rice cultivars. The seed yield of all three cultivars was higher in Tarikola fields. The lowest seed yield among the three regions was observed in Firouzjah farms, where the seed yield of Hashemi, Fajr and Shiroudi cultivars was 2709.26, 3174.59 and 4441.09 kg. ha-1, respectively. Among rice cultivars, the highest grain yield was related to Shiroudi cultivar. Competitive index of Hashemi, Fajr and Shiroudi cultivars were 0.63, 1.04 and 1.40 respectively in Tarikola region.
 
Conclusion: The results of the present study can be used to estimate the yield of rice in different regions in Mazandaran province. According to the findings of this study, the percentage of yield loss in Hashemi cultivar was higher than the other two cultivars. Due to having a higher competitive index under weed-infested conditions, Shiroudi cultivar has a lower yield loss than Fajr and Hashemi.
