This research aims to determine the influence of farmers’ business behavior on achieving success with an farming rice in Indonesia. was conducted through purposive sampling 183 respondents who were breeders Karanganyar Regency. A sample selected t...

A field experiment was conducted to (i) examine the diurnal and seasonal soil carbon dioxide (CO(2)) fluxes pattern in rice paddy fields in central China and (ii) assess the role of floodwater in controlling the emissions of CO(2) from soil and floodwater in intermittently draining rice paddy soil. The soil CO(2) flux rates ranged from -0.45 to 8.62 µmol.m(-2).s(-1) during the rice-growing seas...

An automatic water management system for large-scale paddy fields has been developed. The purposes of that are to supply the paddy fields with water or drain water from that automatically, to decrease water consumption, and to have a good harvest. To accomplish the above purpose, developed system has five functions, (1) prediction of paddy growth stages, (2) water level control corresponding to...

Research on the populations of rice grain bug Paraeuscosmetus pallicomis Dallas (Hemiptera: Lygaeidae) in paddy field ecosystems was performed with the aim to determine the populations of rice grain bug in weed-free paddy field, weedy paddy field, and paddy dykes. Experiment was carried out in the village of Paccellekang in the district of Patallasang of Gowa Regency in South Sulawesi, Indonesi...

Rice is the major foodgrain of the world and it is the principle cereal consumed in India and other parts of Asia1. Milling of paddy to obtain edible rice grain yields two major byproducts of economic and nutritional importance, namely, paddy husk and rice bran. Paddy husk has no food value but has several industrial uses. Rice bran, on the other hand, can serve as an animal feed, as a human fo...

paddy de-awning using a de-awner increases the uniformity and flow rate of paddy grains through the orifices of hoppers, bucket elevators and chutes. in this study the effects of paddy variety, rotational blade speed and moisture content on performance of a prototype de-awner machine were investigated. the experiment was conducted in a factorial design with three factors, variety (hashemi and b...

Paddy soils are classified as wetlands which play a vital role in climatic change and food production. Soil carbon (C), especially soil organic C (SOC), in paddy soils has been received considerable attention as of recent. However, considerably less attention has been given to soil inorganic carbon (SIC) in paddy soils and the relationship between SOC and SIC at interface between soil and the a...

Agricultural Extension Services aim at disseminating new knowledge and skill to farmers aid them in adopting agricultural technologies use their resources efficiently. improves decision-making enhances more efficient utilization of technologies. With a sample 160 famers collected from Golaghat district Assam by using multi-staged random sampling method, this study attempts understand the impact ext...

By using the data from a primary survey of 1100 farm households Indian Punjab, present study examined impact COVID-19 pandemic-induced disruptions on food security and incomes. The paddy-wheat-based production system showed resilience to challenges situation. Farmers adapted effectively changed equilibrium there was no decline in production, land lease activity or cropping patterns. agricultura...
