Surface soils, under various land uses, were contaminated by radionuclides that were released by the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident. Because paddy fields are one of the main land uses in Japan, we investigated the spatial distribution of radiocesium and the influence of irrigation water in a paddy field during cultivation. Soil core samples collected at a paddy field in Fukushim...

Colour plays important role in evaluating quality and maturity level of many agricultural products. Immature paddy has been defined as kernels or pieces of grain kernels that are not fully developed and are yellow-green in colour. Immature paddy will caused broken rice and losses during storage. This paper presents a new technique of paddy maturity estimation using various colour indices extrac...

This paper presents a novel method for identifying three varieties (Taikong 9, Tainan 11, and Taikong 14) of foundation paddy seeds. Taikong 9, Tainan 11, and Taikong 14 paddy seeds are indistinguishable by inspectors during seed purity inspections. The proposed method uses image segmentation and a key point identification algorithm that can segment paddy seed images and extract seed features. ...

Agriculture plays an important role in the Indian economy. India has a dominant position production of paddy next to China at world level. Bihar is one major paddy-producing states India. The present study was conducted year 2021-2022 Saharsa district Bihar. A sample hybrid paddy-growing farmers from six villages selected purposively. Thus making size 100. results showed that majority responden...

in the present study an attempt has been made to use a non-parametric method data envelopment analysis (dea) for assessing source-wise and operation-wise the technical efficiency (te) and return-to-scale (rts) for paddy production in four zones of the state of punjab, india. the results were then compared to corresponding ones already obtained from a parametric method (cobb-douglas production f...

Paddy rice is rarely used as a feed because of its high fiber content. In this study, two experiments were conducted to study the effects of supplementing an enzyme complex consisting of xylanase, beta-glucanase and cellulase, to paddy-based diets on the performance and nutrient digestibility in meat-type ducks. In the both experiments, meat-type ducks (Cherry Valley) were randomly assigned to ...

The paddy production in Malaysia is characterised as small-scale agriculture, with modest plots of less than 2 ha and approximately 194,000 farmers employed. Majority these primarily rely on low-income agricultural production. This situation was exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic first quarter 2020, resulting a 3.11% reduction (17.03 million tonnes) overall output across Southeast Asia. Rural...

The productivity of paddy field farming during the last five years has decreased so that it an impact on farmers' revenue. purpose this study was to analyze level income and feasibility factors affect farming. research conducted in Kerinci Regency, Jambi Province, for eight calendar months. Research data is sourced from primary secondary data. Primary were collected through structured interview...

The agriculture sector is one of the contributors to energy use either as production input or bioenergy output. utilization based on Cobb-Douglas theory. Nevertheless, several factors affecting in paddy include fuel for running machinery, electricity irrigation, fertiliser improving soil fertility, pesticides pest control, and planting seeds. Albeit relationship between agricultural productivit...
