As rice genomicsdata continue to accumulate at a rapid rate, are becoming more valuable to warehouse and access large and rigorous data sets. This article gives an overview of available resources on rice bioinformatics and their role in elucidating and propagating biological and genomic information in rice. Of particular focus here is the informatics infrastructure developed at the Rice Genome ...

The study examines the impact of the rice-cum-fish culture and the rice-mono culture on the rural households at Muktaghachha upazila of Mymensingh district in Bangladesh. Data were collected from 100 farmers of five villages following stratified random sampling technique. Activity budgets were prepared and comparisons were made through the tabular and statistical analyses. Both the rice-cum-fis...

Pigments absorb light, transform it into energy, and provide reaction sites for photosynthesis; thus, the quantification of pigment distribution is vital to plant research. Traditional methods for the quantification of pigments are time-consuming and not suitable for the high-throughput digitization of rice pigment distribution. In this study, using a hyperspectral imaging system, we developed ...

This paper discusses the success of an unintended area-wide integrated pest management (IPM) for Chilo suppressalis in Japan. Chilo was considered as one of the country’s major rice insect pests causing significant yield loss during the pre-war period, along with Scirpophaga incertulas . Chilo population density declined through the years, which was considered to be induced by modern farming te...

Information on maximum grain yield and its attributes are limited for double-season rice crop grown under the subtropical environment. This study was conducted to examine key characteristics associated with high yielding double-season rice crop through a comparison between an integrated crop management (ICM) and farmers' practice (FP). Field experiments were conducted in the early and late seas...

To ensure sufficient and balanced supply of rice production, the Council of Agriculture (COA) must monitor any possible change to the land use and cycle for rice productions. Though COA has been carrying out nation-wide rice inventory procedure in every cropping season for more than 20 years, current COA approach still requires a huge amount of works on photo interpretation, field survey, data ...

1 This paper compares financial costs and benefits of floating rice-based and intensive rice farming systems using data from focus group discussions and household survey in four locations in the Mekong Delta. We argue that the net financial benefit per 1000m 2 of integrated floating rice-based farming systems is greater than the net financial benefit of intensive rice farming system. The total ...

Development and use of genome-wide informative simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers and novel integrated genomic strategies are vital to drive genomics-assisted breeding applications and for efficient dissection of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) underlying complex traits in rice. The present study developed 6244 genome-wide informative SSR markers exhibiting in silico fragment length polymorphi...

Rice disease classification is vital during the cultivation of rice crops. However, diseases were initially detected by visual examination from agricultural experts. Later detection process progressed to automation, which involved images. The images captured lead a lack supporting information. traditional approaches are less accurate when used with real time To address this limitation, novel Tr...

The paper presents a detailed understanding of nitrogenous fertilizer use in Indian agriculture and estimation of seasonal nitrogen loosses from rice crop in Indo-Gangetic plain region, the ‘food bowl’ of the Indian sub-continent. An integrated methodology was developed for quantification of different forms of nitrogen losses from rice crop using remote sensing derived inputs, field data of fer...
