My father grows rice.

Over 200 articles on rice crop management (rice agronomy) and rice crop improvement (plant breeding, including rice biotechnology) were received from rice scientists and researchers worldwide. Two papers, one from China and one from Japan, won the award

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is operating in 14 counties and has distributed seed rice and agricultural tools to 13,000 farmers to increase rice production.

Paddy and cereals

These young ladies are living in a rice culture, but they know something that few people know in a rice culture.

This implied that the bulk of the paddy lands in the country were owned by cultivators.

(e) In the Near East, the development of hybrid rice and water efficient rice integrated crop management systems.

These facilities are available in various sectors of activity, and they operate differently from one sector to the next.

Sometimes in rice we found incredible increases in yield when you mix different varieties of rice side by side.

Possible examples in the agricultural sector include improved manure management, reduction of enteric fermentation, improved fertilizer usage or improved water management in rice cultivation.

In that country, the ratio between incomes and costs of aquaculture in ponds was almost 33 per cent higher than that of a double crop system combining aquaculture and rice cultivation.

The production and distribution of NERICA seed also took place in Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea and Sierra Leone during International Year of Rice celebrations.

Rice is grown in rainy regions.

(b) In Asia and the Pacific, the development of hybrid rice, rice biotechnology and rice integrated crop management systems as well as the diversification of the mono rice systems

This is called mud wrestling in the rice fields.

The Rice Cultivators' Association of Uruguay published a special issue on El Arroz en el Mundo to commemorate the Year.

In Malaysia, farmers' associations celebrated the Year with the launching of the 10 Tonne Club for rice farmers, while the Myanmar International Year of Rice Committee published three books Varieties of Rice, Rice Culture and Rice Research Activities.

In addition, 330 on farm demonstrations on improved rice production techniques were carried out by the Egyptian Rice Programme in rice producing areas of the country.

AMSTERDAM In the Mekong Delta, farmers obtain 6 7 tons of rice per hectare in dry seasons and 4 5 tons per hectare in wet seasons, using fast maturing rice varieties that allow up to three consecutive yields annually. By contrast, West African rice farmers harvest only 1.5 tons per hectare of traditional upland rice annually, while other cereals yield no more than one ton a figure comparable to yields in medieval Europe.

阿姆斯特丹 在湄公河三角洲 农民在旱季能收获6 7吨的水稻公顷产量 雨季则为4 5吨 使用快速成熟稻种 每年可以收获三季 相反 西非稻农种植传统旱稻每年只能收获1.5吨的公顷产量 其他谷类产量更是不到一吨 与欧洲中世纪产量水平相当

This man was your wartime buddy, an ordinary rice farmer who helped you blow up bridges.

In recognition of the challenges of global rice production, FAO and the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) joined forces in 1999 to focus international attention on the rice industry and its role in achieving global food security.

NERICA is a new rice type developed for WARDA especially for low input rice production in Africa.

This is extraordinary. Because rice get this rice is known to have 38 thousand genes.

National and international trade and book fairs were used as grounds for promoting rice marketing and nutrition, stimulating interest in various rice technologies, disseminating information to the general public and increasing awareness of the role and importance of rice as a staple food.

Rice cultivation (area cultivated in hectares)

The President of Nigeria visited a demonstration during the field day to celebrate the Year and distributed the New Rice for Africa (NERICA) seed to the participating farmers.

The dissemination of NERICA varieties is expected to increase the rice production of Africa significantly, thereby replacing costly imports.

Of this, about 638,000 acres were under the major crops, tea, rubber, coconut and paddy.

First, some types of activities do not exist in all Parties (e.g. rice cultivation or coal mining).

(b) Global Scientific Contest The International Year of Rice Global Scientific Contest was coordinated with the invaluable support of IRRI.

The effluent from the fishponds is also used, mostly in paddy fields which are dotted around the outer reaches of the marshes.

The Liberian National Committee organized the International Year of Rice poetry contest, and in Burkina Faso, the International Year of Rice celebration took place in Bama in the rice growing province Houet.

(g) THAI 1 rice monitoring using ERS l data in Thailand

Thus, serious drought in Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand can be expected to delay rice planting operations and thus lead to a switch to early maturing but lower yielding varieties.

However, this relation may be indirect, assuming that radar backscattering is more sensitive to parameters such as biomass, moisture and geometry of rice plants rather than to grain yield itself

The Paddy Lands Act gave security of tenure to tenant farmers.

For some strains of rice the growth period was shortened by 10 days.

Because at the height of the season, at the height of its powers, it's beautiful, it's green, it nourishes the world, it reaches to the heavens.

Until then, agricultural workers, the majority of them paddy farmers, had no tangible measure by way of old age social protection.

(a) In Africa, the development of wetlands for the production of NERICA and improved rice varieties, and improvement of input accessibility

The Asian Development Bank, in collaboration with its member countries and IRRI, celebrated the Year in November at its headquarters, with the participation of policymakers in the region.

The ceiling was 25 acres of paddy land or 50 acres of other agricultural land.

Proper cultivation and sustainable production of rice would significantly reduce poverty and environmental damage but the growth in production was declining owing to competing uses of land and water resources, reduced economic returns, high rates of post harvest losses, increasing labour shortages, institutional limitations and environmental pollution.
