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...

The complexities of smallholder farming systems pose a challenge in demonstrating the potential benefits or risks new technologies and policies. Using Integrated Analysis Tool, rule-based dynamic simulation model, this study tried to improve performance major Tamil Nadu State India. Amongst four viz. Black gram-based (BFS), Paddy-based (PFS), Farming Systems (IFS) Villupuram district Dryland Sy...

Accurate and timely mapping of paddy rice is vital for food security and environmental sustainability. This study evaluates the utility of temporal features extracted from coarse resolution data for object-based paddy rice classification of fine resolution data. The coarse resolution vegetation index data is first fused with the fine resolution data to generate the time series fine resolution d...

Several reports suggested that rice seedling nursery-box application of some systemic insecticides (neonicotinoids and fipronil) is the cause of the decline in dragonfly species noted since the 1990s in Japan. We conducted paddy mesocosm experiments to investigate the effect of the systemic insecticides clothianidin, fipronil and chlorantraniliprole on rice paddy field biological communities. C...

Contamination of soils with heavy metals is widespread and poses a long-term risk to ecosystem health. Abandoned and active mining sites contain residues from ore-processing operations that are characterised by high concentrations of heavy metals. The distribution and mobility characteristics of heavy metals (As, Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn) in paddy soil samples from Kočani Field (Macedonia) using ICP-...

A comparative test was undertaken in order to identify the potential of existing mathematical models, including the rice water quality (RICEWQ) 1.6.4v model, the pesticide concentration in paddy field (PCPF-1) model and the surface water and groundwater (SWAGW) model, for calculating pesticide dissipation and exposure in rice paddies in Europe. Previous versions of RICEWQ and PCPF-1 models had ...
