Abstract: The transpiration rate, water use efficiency (WUE) of rice were studied under high,moderate, low soil water conditions (treatments A,B, C) in the red soil area of southern China. Diurnal variation of transpiration showed that rice transpiration rate was influenced by several microclimatic factors in the field.Correlation analysis, stepping multi-regression analysis suggested that the difference of relative humidity between leaf, air,and the leaf temperature were the two main factors affecting the transpiration rate of rice.The results also showed that WUE was, yield were increased significantly in treatment B.While in treatment C,the WUE increased,but the yield of late rice decreased.The transpiration rate of early rice was decreased under moderate, low soil water treatments,but this did not happen to late rice.
