THE GROWTH AND YIELD OF FIVE HIGH-YIELD RICE VARIETIES FOLLOWING INTEGRATED FARMING RICE-DUCK TREATMENTS

One of integrated farming systems that can be developed is rice-ducks. Integrated farming rice-duck allows
farmers not only get rice but also get the duck meat and eggs in the same land. This study aims to evaluate the
growth and production of some high-yielding rice seed that were applied to the rice-duck farming. The research
was conducted in Musi Rawas District South Sumatra Province, Indonesia 90 meters above sea level from May to
August 2015. This study used experiment with split plot design, 3 replications. There are two treatments namely
ducks as the main plots and rice varieties as a subplot namely Inpari 22, Mekongga, Ciherang, Inpara 3, and
Inpari 31. Variables that observed were height plant, number of tillers, panicle numbers, production per clump,
production per hill, number of grains per panicle, weight of 1000 grains. The results showed that treatment of
ducks very significant affects on the number of grains per panicle, 1000 grain weight and no significant effect
on other parameters. The varieties very significant on plant height, number of grains per panicle, weight of 1000 grains significantly affect the number of panicles, production per hill of plant and no affect other parameters. Combination treatment Inpari ducks and inpari 22 is the highest production.
