A team of scientists in China and the UK have discovered a potential breakthrough that could reduce rice farmers’ dependence on chemical fertilizers to sustain crop yields for the world’s most-eaten ...
Bangladesh is now the world’s third-largest rice producer, with output rising from 10.9 million metric tons in 1971 to 42.0 million metric tons in 2022. Despite the abundance of the staple crop, ...
Severe flooding has slashed global rice yields in recent decades, threatening food security for billions of people who depend on the grain. The losses amounted to approximately 4.3%, or 18 million ...
Researchers from the University of Oxford, Nanjing Agricultural University, and Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (Chinese Academy of Sciences) have finally identified the master ...
The team, led by Chengbo Shen, Zhe Ji, and Shan Li, identified a rice gene that helps the rice plant keep its balance when nitrogen is scarce ...
A team of scientists from the University of Oxford, Nanjing Agricultural University, and the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology has identified a single rice gene that, in experiments and ...
Ratoon rice systems, wherein a second crop is generated from the residual stubble of the main harvest, represent an innovative and resource‐efficient model of rice cultivation. This approach offers ...
Fall rainstorms dampened many rice farmers’ expectations of a good crop this past fall by delaying harvest, reducing grain quality and increasing ruts in fields. While final yield figures haven’t yet ...
Two new Research projects are advancing rice breeding strategies to improve productivity for growers while creating new ...
Their findings reveal that while monsoon-season rice shows limited yield response to N inputs, dry-season irrigated rice can nearly double its yield when nitrogen is applied judiciously. By ...
This new series from India Today Science shines a light on how climate change is affecting the plate in our hands as it hits daily staples around us. India's rice problem has created a climate loop ...
