Abstract: The study, "The Effect of Plant Spacing on the Growth and Yield of IR-36", was conducted at the Research Experimental Area, Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite from October 27, 1979, to February 9, 1980. The study aimed to deter- mine the proper plant spacing that will contribute to a better harvest of IR-36 variety of rice. IR-36 rice variety was used in this study. Four treatments were made with different spacings. In the first treatment, 5 x 40 centimeters apart spacing was done, 20 x 20 centimeters apart spacing for Treatment 2, 25 x 25 centimeters apart spacing for Treatment 3, and 10 x 30 centimeters apart spacing for Treatment 4. The seedlings were transplanted twelve days after sowing with three to four seedlings per hill. Fertilizer application was done during transplanting and panicle initiation. Weeding was done manually, and application of different insecticides was done to control the different insect pests attacking the plants. Based on the results of the study Treatment 3, where the plants were distanced at 25 x 25 centimeters, produced more tillers and panicles, and had the highest grain yield among treatments.
