In order to evaluate the effects of total returning of milk vetch on yield and quality of the conventional red rice varieties, a field experiment of different fertilizer treatment(T1, overturning the total milk vetch as base fertilizer; T2, applying nitrogen 112.5 kg/hm2; T3, the total mild vetch as base fertilizer and 45 kg/hm2 nitrogen as tillering fertilizer; CK, no fertilizer)were conducted in 2014-2015, Xiaobaizhan and Gaoyuanhong were used as materials. The results showed that the yield of T1, T2 and T3 of two varieties significantly increased by 17.5%, 45.5%, 41.4% and 12.6%, 28.4%, 23.7% respectively, compared with the CK. The cause of yield increasing is attribute to the increasing of effective panicles per area and spikelets per panicle. The total returning of milk vetch optimized the population structure of rice, promoting the percentage of available tillers and harvest index, improving resistance of lodging by decreasing plant height. The total returning of milk vetch can reduce the dosage of chemical fertilizer, compared with T2, T3 treatment reducing 60% nitrogen fertilizer.As well as, it obviously improved the appearance quality and eating quality through reducing the chalky rice rate, increasing head rice rate and gel consistency. In summary, the total returning of milk vetch has a good application value in developing rice production in mountain area.
