This review examines recent studies of the migration of three rice planthoppers, Laodelphax striatellus, Sogatella furcifera, and Nilaparvata lugens, in East Asia. Laodelphax striatellus has recently broken out in Jiangsu province, eastern China. The population density in the province started to increase in the early 2000s and peaked in 2004. In 2005, Rice stripe virus (RSV) viruliferous rate o...

Two long-grain rice cultivars/hybrids (‘Wells’ and ‘CL 161’) harvested from locations in Arkansas were used in this study. Rice samples were milled for 20, 30, 40, and 50 seconds. Milled whole-rice samples were cooked in excess water for 16, 18, 20, and 22 minutes and in a 2:1 water-to-rice ratio for 20 minutes (WR20). Cooked rice texture and solid leach were determined. Results indicated that ...

It has been recorded in literature that superheated steam the ability to combine parboiling operation (steaming and drying) of paddy (Oryza sativa - UPL1) rice into a single unit. According literature, this process not fully explored implemented processing. In research work, dryer was used parboil (steam dry) rice. Soaking time temperature 12hours at 60°C, with steaming ranging from 10 24mins, ...

In India, the contribution of ducks for egg and meat production is next to chicken. There are many advantagesof duck over The important available in country few exotic breeds locallyavailable indigenous ducks. Ducks can be reared under intensive, semi-intensive extensive rearing system.However, mostly small flock size as subsidiary source income. major basedintegrated farming system duck-fish, ...

We develop a length-gauge formalism for treating one-dimensional periodic lattice systems in the presence of photon cavity inducing light-matter interaction. The purpose is to remove mathematical ambiguities that occur when defining position operator context Power-Zienau-Woolley Hamiltonian. then use diagrammatic approach analyze perturbatively interaction between an electronic quantum system a...

Food insecurity and child malnutrition remain persistent problems in sub-Saharan Africa. Rice is a staple food for more than half of the world’s population. However, white rice poor micronutrients records higher glycemic values compared to parboiled rice. An improved parboiling system called “Grain quality enhancer, Energy-efficient durable Material” (GEM short) allows processing with better ph...

Cereal Chem. 79(3):465–469 The structural features of rice starch that may contribute to differences in the functionality of three long-grain rice cultivars were studied. Dried rough rice samples of cultivars Cypress, Drew, and Wells were analyzed for milling quality, grain physical attributes, and starch structures and physicochemical properties. Drew was lower in head rice yield and transluce...

Rice buds are easily bruised or broken during sowing, which affects the seedling rate, and discrete element simulation of rice lacks an accurate model in this process. The EDEM software was used to calibrate parameters for different states bud seeds damage. Hertz-Mindlin simulate accumulation seeds. Through a series tests, interspecific static friction factor 0.644, rolling 0.062. normal contac...
