Subject:
Oryza sativa; bitumen; concrete; flooded conditions; grain yield; iron; nutrient uptake; redox potential; rice; water requirement; water use efficiency; South East Asia
Abstract:
... Growth of rice (Oryza sativa) under flooded conditions in Southeast Asia results in excessive water and N losses. This investigation was conducted to determine the effect of subsurface barriers of bitumen and concrete on yields of rice grown with 60, 90, and 120 kg/ha of N. Yields of rice grown over the subsurface barriers were significantly higher than those grown on the control. The increase in ...

Abstract:
... A scheme was developed for fractionating soil Mg into exchangeable, organic-complexed, acid-soluble, and primary mineral forms. The scheme was tried out on 20 soils from different regions of the world. Magnesium content was influenced by the nature of the parent materials, climate, and age of the soil. There was more Mg in youthful alluvial soils from Southeast Asia as well as loess and till-deriv ...

Abstract:
... Since the development of high yielding tropical rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars like ‘IR8,’ attention has turned to the differences in grain quality among rice cultivars. In field experiments at the IRRI farm, we studied the optimum time for applying nitrogen to rice cultivars for maximum grain yield, highest milling yield, and maximum seed viability. We applied ammonium sulfate at 60 kg/ha N in ...

Abstract:
... Data are presented showing the number of butterfly species present in areas of different size. The species, area curve for South America starts at a higher value than that for Africa, indicating a greater species richness in a small area. It is also steeper, which indicates that there are more allopatric species. The relation for south-east Asia is more like that for South America than Africa. ...
