Abstract:
... Rice ratooning system is becoming increasingly important for food security in China, however, information on grain cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As) levels is lacking. We collected grain samples of main crop (MC) and ratoon crop (RC) from five sites, where the same eleven varieties were planted, and determined the Cd and As concentration in brown rice. Results showed that differences in grain Cd level ...

Abstract:
... Crop mapping and acreage estimation are the simplest yet the most critical issues in agriculture. Remote sensing technology has been extensively used in the past few decades for executing these tasks. The objective of this study is to map sugarcane fields at a catchment level and segregate the plant and ratoon fields using the freely available Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 data. The study is carried o ...

Abstract:
... Decreases in grain yield and milling quality in the ratoon crop due to crushing damage to stubbles from mechanical harvesting of the main crop constrain the further extension of mechanized rice ratooning technology. Skip-row planting (SP), where the track zone is left untransplanted in the main crop to provide traffic paths for harvest machines, might be effective to alleviate these constraints by ...

Abstract:
... Sugarcane has been cultivated in Egypt since 641 AD and is a source of raw material to various agro-based industries. The development of new varieties of sugarcane from controlled crosses in Egypt has developed greatly during recent decades with the majority of the present commercial varieties originating from the local breeding program. Egyptian sugarcane breeding program objectives are high cane ...
ratooning, etc ; arsenic; developmental stages; oxygen; phosphorus; rice; silicon; soil; toxicity; Show all 9 Subjects
Abstract:
... PURPOSE: Aquatic plants, including rice, develop iron (Fe) plaques on their roots due to radial oxygen loss (ROL), and these plaques accumulate both beneficial and toxic elements. Silicon is an important nutrient for rice and both accumulates in Fe plaque and can affect ROL. How these plaques form over time and how Si affects this process remains unclear. METHODS: Rice was grown in a pot study wit ...

Abstract:
... Ratoon rice production is an effective approach to improve overall rice productivity, while incurring the lowest operation- and/or production-related costs. Stubble management and the growth optimization of ratoon crops are examples of production systems that remain an issue that needs to be addressed properly to maximize the benefits. The present study was conducted considering the objective that ...

Abstract:
... Metabolomic approaches provide new insights into studying changes in yield traits and grain chalkiness under a ratoon cropping system. In this study, when rice plants were grown as ratooning season rice, seed setting percentage, chalky grain percentage and chalkiness degree were highly improved, as compared to their counterparts in main-cropping season rice and late-cropping season rice. Furthermo ...

Abstract:
... Mixed models are a useful tool for the analysis of sugarcane field trials in which sugarcane varieties are allocated in different locations and phenotypic traits are evaluated in the same experimental unit (plot) over time. One challenge to analyze these data is how to build a good mixed model when no experimental design is planned, because all sugarcane varieties in the area of influence of a sug ...

Abstract:
... Rice (Oryza sativa L.) ratooning has attracted attention due to its higher yield potential compared with conventional methods. Here, field experiments were conducted in southwestern Japan in 2019 and 2020 to determine the effects of cultivar (‘Takanari’, an indica cultivar, and ‘Koshihikari’, a japonica cultivar) and harvest time of the first crop (early and late) on the grain yields of the first ...

Abstract:
... In Indonesia, sugarcane and sugar production during the last ten years (2010–2019) fluctuated considerably and showed a declining trend due to several reasons. The achievements of sugarcane production were mainly influenced by the availability of superior sugarcane varieties developed by the domestic sugarcane breeding programs. Historically, sugarcane breeding in Indonesia was started during the ...

Abstract:
... Balanced use of micronutrients in soils is essential for optimized nutrient use efficiency, environmental conservation and long-term sustainability of agro-ecological systems. As a result, maintaining correct micronutrient levels in the soil is essential not only to meet plant needs and maintain agricultural productivity but also to avoid nutrient build-up. The present study aimed to investigate t ...

... BACKGROUND: Ratooning in sugarcane is a crucial strategy for ensuring the long-term sustainability of the sugarcane industry. Knowledge gap relating to the interaction between rhizosphere microbiome and ratooning crop, particularly the impact of different sugarcane cultivars on the rhizosphere microbiome in consecutive ratooning, requires additional research. The response of two different sugarcan ...

A field study was conducted to evaluate the effect of weed management practices in the main crop on growth, yield and economics of rice- ratoon rice cropping system in two consecutive years i.e., 2014–15 and 2015–16. The result showed that Cyperus difformis was the most dominant weed in the main rice crop, whereas Ludwigia adscendes was the dominant weed in ratoon rice. In weed-free plots, the mai ...

Sugarcane (Saccharum spp. interspecific hybrids), a high biomass perennial crop, in which manual data collection for early yield prediction, through its growth cycle (∼12 mo long), is labor intensive and time consuming. Alternately, aerial imagery can be explored to predict yield‐related components and high‐throughput phenotyping for genetic selection. In this study, aerial imagery and ground data ...
... Due to the high rolling rate of a regular crawler paddy harvester and the absence of mature first season harvester products of ratooning rice, combined with the planting mode and harvest requirements of ratooning rice, a triangular crawler ratooning rice harvester is specifically designed. The structure and steering principle of the triangular crawler chassis are described. The hydraulic system is ...

Abstract:
... Increasing both carbon (C) sequestration and food production is essential for a sustainable future. However, increasing soil C sequestration or graining yield/quality in rice (Oryza sativa L.) systems has been a tradeoff in that pursuing one goal may compromise the other goal. Field experiments were designed to evaluate methane emission and grain yield in two rice systems in southern China, includ ...
