The erect panicle model super-rice can rationally transform the solar energy into accumulated organic matter (biomass) and increase grain yield. The phenotype of erect panicle architecture controlled by DENSE AND ERECT PANICLE 1 (DEP1) has been used in rice breeding for nearly a century owing to its high-yield, lodging tolerance with strong stem, reasonable population structure and high nitroge...

Remobilisation of non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) from leaves and stems and unloading into developing grains are essential for yield formation of rice. In present study, three recombinant inbred lines of rice, R91, R156 and R201 have been tested for source-flow-sink related attributes determining the nature of NSC accumulation and translocation at two nitrogen levels in the field. Compared t...

The survival of indigenous and introduced strains of Azorhizobium caulinodans in flooded soil and in the rice rhizosphere, where in situ Sesbania rostrata was incorporated before the rice crop, is reported. The azorhizobia studied were both root and stem nodulating. In a pot experiment, two crop cycles each of inoculated and noninoculated Sesbania-rice were compared with two crop cycles of floo...

Selecting rice varieties with a high nitrogen (N) use efficiency (NUE) is the best approach to reduce N fertilizer application in rice production and is one of the objectives of the Green Super Rice (GSR) Project in China. However, the performance of elite candidate GSR varieties under low N supply remains unclear. In the present study, differences in the grain yield and NUE of 13 and 14 candid...

Background: Salibu rice cultivation is one of the technologies that have been developed in Indonesia but not continued. This technology has great potential to increase land productivity. The unsustainability salibu due lower yield than parent rice. Not many farmers are aware agronomic factors can growth and Objective: review article aims explore role cultivation. Results: shows play a major soi...

One of Indonesia's great potential biomass energy sources is food crop waste. Five commodities with nine types waste were investigated in the study. This study aimed to determine physical, chemical, and thermal properties crops wastes their for utilization as an source. Furthermore, spatial map gross 34 provinces Indonesia depicted. The results research showed a moisture content samples range 1...

the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of farmers' knowledge and attitude regarding farmer field school (ffs) on biological control against rice stem borer in mazandaran province. the population of the study included all farmers residing in three villages of kohnedan, rangrizmahalleh and aliabad (n=121). a questionnaire was developed from reviewed literature. the content a...

to investigate the effect of nitrogen rate and split form of application on dry matter remobilization among different rice cultivars, a field experiment was carried out in the rice research institute of iran (amol) – during 2005. a split–split experiment on the basis of a randomized complete block design with 3 replications involving 3 factors was employed in which fertilizer rates (100, 150 an...
