Using japonica rice varieties with different plant types, studies were made on canopy properties in relation to dry matter production and yield. The results show that varieties responsiveness to nitrogen supply varied with plant types, and there were significant differences in the canopy development and the rate of dry matter production among varieties with different plant types. The more was the nitrogen supply, the more the differences of declining rate of leaf area after heading would be, and the less would be the differences of increasing rate of leaf area before heading among varieties with different plant types. The LAI at the heading stage had a significant quadratic regression relationship with grain yield and the rate of dry matter production after heading. The results also indicate that the LAI leading to maximum grain yield was basically consistent with the LAI conductive to maximum rate of dry matter prodriction, and that grain yield was positively corelated with the rate of dry matter production after heading.
