Thorough coverage of rice, from cultivar development tomarketing Rice: Evolution, History, Production, and Technology, the thirdbook in the Wiley Series in Crop Science, provides unique,single-source coverage of rice, from cultivar developmenttechniques and soil characteristics to harvesting, storage, andgermplasm resources. Rice covers the plant's origins and history,physiology and genetics, production and production hazards,harvesting, processing, and products. Comprehensive coverage includes: * Color plates of diseases, insects, and other productionhazards * The latest information on pest control * Up-to-date material on marketing * A worldwide perspective of the rice industry Rice provides detailed information in an easy-to-use format, makingit valuable to scientists and researchers as well as growers,processors, and grain merchants and shippers.
Discusses current Rice Economics Research and Extension Programs; Rice Economics Publications and Presentations 1982-present and in review &/or revision; graduate and undergraduate students working on rice economics topics; Ag Economics Extension and Research faculty with rice related programs; and Department of Agricultural Economics' strategic plan and administrative team. Over 100 tables.
Rice is one of the principal cereals used by the world's inhabitants. The hope for improved nourishment of the world's population depends on the development of better rice varieties and improved methods for rice production and utilization. During the past four decades, interest in rice research and production has increased in many countries. The development of new and better varieties by the International Rice Research Institute in the Philippines and other rice research institutes has stimulated numerous research stations to test the performance of these varieties in many countries under different climates, soil properties, cultural practices, and environmental conditions. The methods of ha...

This book focuses on recent advances in genetic resources, host - pathogen interactions, assay methods, mechanisms of pathogenesis, and disease resistance. Environmentally benign crop protection methods for major rice diseases such as rice blast, sheath blight, bacterial blight, and newly emerged rice diseases such as false smut and bacterial panicle blight disease are included. The content also contains recent rice breeding methods for higher yield and improved disease resistance, rice processing, delicious rice recipes, and food safety. The book includes a comprehensive understanding of Bacillus thuringiensis toxin and its application for crop protection. Holistically, the book demonstrates successful applications of genomics, physiology, chemistry, genetics, pathology, soil science, and food technology to sustainably protect rice crops for global food safety.
