Studies on the Granular Herbicides for Paddy Rice Cultivation

Herbicides Persistence in Rice Paddy Water in Southern Brazil

Bayesian Classification for Rice Paddy Interpretation

In this paper, we present a case study of interpreting paddy distributions of three counties on Northern Taiwan during two crop seasons on year 2000 using multitemporal imageries together with cadastre GIS by Bayesian posteriori probability classifier. In order to integrating Bayesian conditional probability, priori probabilities of paddy's attributes were estimated from photogrammettric interp...

Study on Drying Kinetics of Paddy Rice: Intermittent Drying

The intermittent drying characteristics of an Iranian popular paddy rice variety were experimentally investigated to determine the drying kinetics and obtain the effective moisture diffusivity. A lab-scale fluidized bed dryer was designed and constructed to enable obtaining the required results while controlling critical drying parameters. The effects of drying temperature and tempering per...

Municipal Wastewater Irrigation for Rice Cultivation

In scene of worrisome water shortage, municipal wastewater has been gradually accepted as an alternative water resource containing important nutrients for irrigation. Rice cul‐ tivation, which is one of the main crops feeding global population and requires plenty of water for its effective growth, has been often irrigated by municipal wastewater in many countries. While irrigation of municipal ...

Gaseous emissions from flooded rice paddy agriculture

[1] Modification of continental land for agricultural use has increased over the last century. Atmospheric impact of this land use change has only been addressed for a few ecosystems and compounds. This paper provides, to date, the most comprehensive examination of gaseous emissions from rice paddies. We report seasonal emission ranges and integrated emission totals for 55 chemical species.
