Abstract

Crop productivity would be determined by relative capacity of source and sink. The study was carried out to measure the effects of shading and flower bud pinching on growth and yield of Atractylodes japonica Koidz. Shading treatment after transplanting was done at 100%, 65, 45 or 25% level of natural light intensity but the pinching treatment was to remove all the inflorescences formed after June 10, July 10, August 10 or none. Growth and yield at early and late stages were periodically measured. At the early stage, shading mainly influenced fresh weight rather than morphological characters. At the late stage, however, severer shading decreased numbers of stems, leaves, roots, fraction and total fresh weight. 65% shading from July 1 to September 30 after skipped the emerging and early growth stages showed nearly same growth and morphological characters but more rhizome yield per unit area than non-shading. In flower bud pinching treatment, earlier pinching increased number of roots, fraction fresh weights per plant and rhizome yield per unit area.
