Abstract: AbstractRice (Oryza sativa L.) yield and grain quality are highly influenced by the planting date; thus, it is crucial to determine the optimal planting window for an area of cultivation. In this study, date of planting experiments conducted at the Louisiana State University (LSU) AgCenter Rice Research Station from 2011 to 2018 were analyzed to quantify the effect of planting date, genotype, and year on key agronomic traits. Planting date was strongly associated with yield across every year, explaining 55.6% of the overall phenotypic variation...
