Abstract
Two cultivars of rice (Oryza sativa L.) Anber 33 and Yasmeen were cultured in Alnajaf and Aldiwaniyah provinces, using modern agriculture technologies and classical method for compared growth characters and productivity between them. These experiences were cultured in half hectare for each three locations in each province, each cultivar and each method of cultivations. Results showed that significant differences between two methods of cultivation in most of growth characters studied and in the production of the two cultivars of rice in Alnajaf and Aldiwaniyah province. The average productivity of Amber 33 and Yasmeen in Alnajaf province using modern method of cultivation were 4716 and 5342 kg/h. respectively, while the average productivity of classical method of cultivation for the two cultivars were 3189 and 4047 kg/h. respectively. Thus the increase rate in yield using modern method than classical method was 32.35 and 24.25% respectively. In Aldiwaniyah province the average yield of the two above cultivars were 4193 and 5800 kg / h respectively, the increasing rate in productivity was 25.42 and 29.95% respectively. The results also indicated that the yield of Yasmeen cultivar was higher than Amber 33 cultivar in the two provinces and in two method of cultivation.
