Description
SPRINGER Modern Techniques Of Rice Crop Production (Hb 2022) by SARWAR N.
This book collects all the latest technologies with their implications on the global rice cultivation. It discusses all aspects of rice production and puts together the latest trends and best practices in the rice production. Rice is produced and consumed worldwide and especially an important crop for Asia. It is a staple food in majority of population living is this continent which distinguishes this from rest of the world. Climatic fluctuations, elevated concentrations of carbon dioxide, enhanced temperature have created extreme weather conditions for rice cultivation. Also, increasing pest attacks make situation complicated for the farmers. Therefore, rice production technology also has to be adjusted accordingly. This book is of interest to teachers, researchers, plant biotechnologists, pathologists, agronomists, soil scientists, food technologists from different part of the globe. Also, the book serves as additional reading material for students of agriculture, soil science, and environmental sciences. National and international agricultural scientists, policy makers will also find this to be a useful read Part 1 Introduction.- 1 World Rice Production: An Overview.- 2 Climate Change and Global Rice Security.- Part 2 Agronomic Management.- 3 Techniques of Rice Nursery Establishment and Transplanting.- 4 Rice Seed and Seedling Priming.- 5 Nursery Management of Transplanted Rice.- 6 Rice Cultivation Systems.- 7 Smart Nutrient Management in Rice Crop.- 8 Irrigation Management in Rice.- 9 Rice-Based Cropping Systems.- 10 Rice Ontogeny.- 11 Rice Phenotyping.- 12 Rice Physiology under Changing Climate.- 13 Water-Wise Cultivation of Basmati Rice in Pakistan.- 14 Rice Interactions with Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria.- 15 Plant Growth Regulators for Rice Production in Changing Environment.- 16 Salinity Tolerance in Rice.- 17 Rice Pollination.- Part 3 Plant Protection.- 18 Plant Protection Strategies in Rice Crop.- 19 Weed Management Strategies in Direct Seeded Rice.- 20 Contemporary Management of Insect Pests in Rice.- 21 Insect Chitin Biosynthesis and Regulation Using RNAi Technology.- 22 Integrated Management of Rice Diseases.- 23 Diversity and Management of Plant Viruses Infecting Rice.- 24 Botanical Extracts for Rice Fungal Diseases.- 25 Nanotechnology for Rice Fungal Diseases.- 26 Rice Nematodes and their Integrated Management.- Part 4 Advanced Technologies.- 27 Managing Greenhouse Gas Emission.- 28 Applications of Crop Modeling in Rice Production.- 29 Climate Change and Rice Production: Impacts and Adaptations.- 30 Rice Production and Crop Improvement Through Breeding and Biotechnology.- 31 Hybrid Rice Production.- 32 Rice Biotechnology.- 33 New Breeding Techniques (NBTs) for Improving Rice Grain Yield to Feed 10 Billion: Progress and Prospects.- 34 CRISPR/Cas9 for Rice Crop Improvement: Recent Progress, Limitations and Prospects.- Part 5 Nutritional Aspects.- 35 Rice Nutritional Aspects.- 36 Rice Grain Quality.- 37 Phytochemical Composition of Rice.- 38 Rice Based Products.- Part 6 Miscellaneous.- 39 Advances Approached to Mitigate Abiotic Stresses in Rice (Oryza sative L.)
