Aero-Pipeline Spraying System is a special ultra-working-width precision pesticide sprayer, which can broaden working scope, improve working efficiency, precisely transfer feed liquid to farm field that need to be sprayed, spray pesticides to crops in a very close range, and then improve working precision and reduce the losses of liquid materials such as pesticides. During the ultra-working-wid...

During the rice harvesting season in Thailand, large amounts of fresh paddy are sent to rice mills immediately after harvesting due to a lack of proper farm storage space. At certain levels of moisture content, rice grains may generate hazardous gases, which can replace oxygen (O(2)) in the confined spaces of underground rice mill pits. This phenomenon has been observed in a fatal accident in T...

Accurate information of paddy fields over wide areas is essential to support sustainable agricultural and a food security program. Monitoring of these lands continuously, using remote sensing technology, will provide information related to the cropping intensity in the field, as well as its dynamics change. We characterized seasonal vegetation dynamics from long-term multi-temporal MODIS satell...

The productivity of paddy rice in Malaysia has improved as the technology advances. However, several concerns need to be considered to maintain the productivity. The growth of paddy weeds in the fields is one of the concerns that need to be taken care of as it resulted to the decrease of the paddy yield. This paper presents an integrated method for classifying paddy weeds through the shape of t...

[1] Decreased methane emissions from paddy rice may have contributed to the decline in the rate of increase of global atmospheric methane (CH4) concentration over the last 20 years. In China, midseason paddy drainage, which reduces growing season CH4 fluxes, was first implemented in the early 1980s, and has gradually replaced continuous flooding in much of the paddy area. We constructed a regio...

Denitrification occurs markedly in rice paddy fields; however, few microbes that are actively involved in denitrification in these environments have been identified. In this study, we used a laboratory soil microcosm system in which denitrification activity was enhanced. DNA and RNA were extracted from soil at six time points after enhancing denitrification activity, and quantitative PCR and cl...

Although bacteriophages are ubiquitous in various environments, their genetic diversity is primarily investigated in pelagic marine environments. Corresponding studies in terrestrial environments are few. In this study, we conducted the first survey of phage diversity in the paddy ecosystem by targeting a new viral biomarker gene, phoH. A total of 424 phoH sequences were obtained from four padd...

Frequently occurring extreme weather events have caused agricultural production losses in considerable amounts the dry zone of Sri Lanka. Hence, it is important to understand farmer groups and systems that are highly vulnerable climate change before proposing remedial measures. Paddy main crop cultivated by farmers The majority cultivate paddy during Maha season while Other Field Crops (OFC) Ya...

Due to rapid population growth and urbanization, paddy rice agriculture is experiencing substantial changes in the spatiotemporal pattern of planting areas in the two most populous countries-China and India-where food security is always the primary concern. However, there is no spatially explicit and continuous rice-planting information in either country. This knowledge gap clearly hinders our ...
