a field experiment was conducted to investigate the spatial distribution of nutsedge (cyperus spp) during rice growing season using geostatic in 2011 at sari agricultural sciences and natural resources university. at the first field was divided into 36 grids (2.5×2.5 meter) after the final preparation. grid intersection points were determined and marked. all samples were taken from these points...

The purpose of this study was to determine the difference in income earned by Lowland Rice Farming with Power Threshers and combine harvesters South Sangatta Village, District. method data analysis technique used is quantitative through economic analysis: cost analysis, revenue an activity after from all respondents. research population paddy rice farmers. sampling purposive sampling, farmers w...

The objectives of this research were to evaluate the socio-economic features rural women, determine their participation extent in rice farming activities, and find out relationship between participation. This survey-based was conducted a village called Jahidpur Sunamganj district. 80 farm families involved selected by using simple random sampling method. Data collected from women respondents th...

Arsenic (As) contamination in agricultural soils causes adverse influences on crop growth and yield, serious human health issues. The objectives of this study were to (a) verify the change chemical properties under different As contaminated soils, (b) compare yield rice grown concentrations As-contaminated soil, (c) investigate relationship between total phytoavailable soil accumulated polished...

Abstract In the past, Sundanese farmers of West Java, Indonesia, managed wet-rice ( sawah ) farming using pranata mangsa , traditional ecological calendar. They cultivated rice varieties that were adapted to local environmental conditions. The helped in determining appropriate time undertake activities, including preparation land, planting, and harvesting. All these activities accompanied by ce...

This study aimed to develop a remote sensing-based method for forecasting rice yield by considering vegetation greenness conditions during initial and peak greenness stages of the crop; and implemented for “boro” rice in Bangladeshi context. In this research, we used Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)-derived two 16-day composite of normalized difference vegetation index (NDV...

Water scarcity and water quality degradation are exacerbated by climate change in all countries, including Pakistan. The use of agriculture is one the most predominant resources, so reducing consumption improving resource management utmost importance. In past few decades, excessive irrigation has led to severe reduced quality. This study determined requirements for cotton, rice, wheat, using CR...

The domestic rice industry of Ethiopia is constrained by low productivity, poor quality, and old processing machines. production system done hand or with rudimentary tools, only 2% households have access to tractors. It takes 175 labor days weed 66% the total farm operations. Rice harvesting threshing are manually using a serrated sickle animal trembling respectively. Farmers responsible for mo...

Cereal Chem. 84(2):119–124 The effects of the degree of milling (based on surface lipids content [SLC]) on cooked rice physicochemical properties were investigated. Head rice yield (HRY), protein, and SLC decreased with increasing milling, while the percent of bran removed and whiteness increased. Results showed that SLC significantly (P < 0.05) affected milled as well as cooked rice properties...

The sickle is still an ultimate choice hand tool for harvesting the new variety of rice. This preference continues. The sickles used by Balinese harvester are usually nonserrated. The sharpness of nonserrated sickles is reduced quickly, so the harvester needs time to sharpen them frequently, which mean time loss and productivity reduction. To solve this problem, research has been conducted usin...
