Chitosan is used in agriculture for its antifungal effect, lengthens the life of fruits and vegetables, it stimulates the growth of crops. Due to the need to increase crop yields in rice (Oryza sativa L.) this work was carried out with the objective of evaluating different times and forms of application of QuitoMax® in the final plant height and yield components in cultivar ̏ INCA LP 5 ̋. This treatment was performed to the seed at a concentration of 1 g L -1
