Description

Rice is one of the most widely grown crops in the world. A greater part of Asia, Africa and parts of Europe and Latin America depend on rice as a staple diet. It is also important from an economic perspective as it is considered a nutritional and affordable food in low and middle-income countries in the world. Progress in this field has been achieved by innovations in biotechnology, genetics, GPS, drone technology, and image sensing which are used to map and analyze farmlands, soil quality, agricultural practices, irrigation, drought management practices, among many others. This book discusses modern rice growing methodologies and practices. It further elucidates new techniques and their applications in rice production. Students and researchers who want to stay abreast of the latest innovations and studies in this field will greatly benefit from this book.
