Chemical Control of Bacterial Grain Rot of Rice in Medium Maturing Rice Varieties

the stady and analysis of rice agroclimatology in lenjan

the west of esfahan province, iran, is one of the most important agricultural areas throughout the country due to the climate variability and life-giving water of zayanderood river. rice is one of the major and economic crops in this area. the most important climatic elements in agricultural activities which should be considered include temperature, relative humidity, precipitation and wind. so...

Milling Quality of California Medium-grain Rice

California’s medium-grain rice industry experiences a wide range of head rice yield (HRY). Average moisture of a representative paddy rice sample is the commercially used predictor of optimum harvest date to achieve high HRY. A two-year field study demonstrated that average rice moisture alone is not an adequate predictor of HRY. The history of rice moisture caused by varying meteorological con...

Environmental Conditions Causing Milled Rice Kernel Breakage in Medium-Grain Varieties

Milled rice kernels have been shown to rapidly fissure and eventually break when exposed to certain air conditions (Stermer 1968, Kunze and Hall 1967, Siebenmorgen et al 1998). Milled kernels rapidly gain or lose moisture from the environment depending on the air temperature and relative humidity (RH) of the surrounding air, as well as the moisture content (MC) of the kernels (Kunze and Choudha...

Comparison of physical and chemical properties of medium-grain rice cultivars grown in California and Arkansas.

The physical attributes, chemical composition, and physicochemical properties of 2 medium-grain rice cultivars from Arkansas (Bengal, Medark) and from California (M202, M204) were compared when grown in their respective locations and grown together in Arkansas to better understand the impacts of heredity and environment on medium-grain rice quality. Variations existed in grain dimensions, parti...
