Rice cultivation is the most resource-intensive production in Russian agro-industrial sector. Historically, technology of flooded rice thу Krasnodar Territory has remained virtually unchanged for more than 90 years. This due not only to biological but also technological features its cultivation. In this connection, issue optimizing process becoming increasingly important every year. Global expe...

To determine whether an industry exhibits constant returns to scale, whether the production fUnction is homothetic, or whether inputs are separabl~ a common approach is to specify a cost function, estimate its parameters using data such as prices and quantities of inputs, and then test the parametric restrictions corresponding to constant returns, a homothetic technology, or separability. Stati...

Indonesia is the third largest rice producer in world, at same time it’s a country that imports from various countries. The government has provided input subsidies to increase production and reduce imports. Modes of farming relatively diverse, conventional modern, even post-harvest process. objectives this study are: analyze impact handling on food loss relationship between paddy or with quanti...

Plants employ two distinct strategies to obtain iron (Fe) from the soil. In Strategy I but not Strategy II plants, Fe limitation invokes ethylene production which regulates Fe deficiency responses. Oryza sativa (rice) is the only graminaceous plant described that possesses a Strategy I-like system for iron uptake as well as the classic Strategy II system. Ethylene production of rice roots was s...

this study examined the nature and patterns of rice consumption in nigeria, using kwara state as a case study. the study methodology comprised a two stage sampling technique which was used to survey 110 rice consumer households across two villages and six towns in kwara state. analytical tools used in the study include descriptive statistics and the multinomial logit model. the major factors th...

Rice or Oryza sativa L. is the staple food of Indonesian society. Currently, demand for rice in Indonesia increasing, while level production decreasing. Therefore, alternative technologies are needed to assist community increasing production. One important factors growth quality soil that contains high levels nitrogen photosynthesis, protein formation, acid and accelerating plant growth. This r...

The objective of this paper is to apply the Translog Stochastic Frontier production model (SFA) and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to estimate efficiencies over time and the Total Factor Productivity (TFP) growth rate for Bangladeshi rice crops (Aus, Aman and Boro) throughout the most recent data available comprising the period 1989-2008. Results indicate that technical efficiency was observed...

The presence of fat in the diet accelerates the production of hepatic tumors by p-dimethylaminoazobenzene (butter yellow), and when its quantity is very small, few are produced. Butter yellow with diets consisting in large part of rice, or with other diets with low protein content, causes nodular cirrhosis, but, rice substituted for sugar in a diet containing protein, fat, and butter yellow wit...

THE RICE LANDS of Malaysia, tolaling 0.6 M ha are broadly classified as either granary or nongranary areas. The granaries comprise 8 large and contiguous irrigation schemes, covering 210,000 ha and producing more than 65 percent of the country's total output; and it is in these granaries that further developine.nt of rice production will bt. concentrated. The nongranaries are either rain-fed or...

rice is a main food for iranian people and has an important role in providing food security. regarding the population growth, increase of rice production and reduction of losses have special importance in prevention of rice import. rice losses in the harvest stage are the highest through the whole production period of this crop and hence the reduction of these losses is necessary. provision of ...
