Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is an important food crop and requires larger amount of water throughout its life cycle as compared to other crops. Hence, water related stress cause severe threat to rice production. Drought is a major challenge limiting rice production. It affects rice at morphological (reduced germination, plant height, plant biomass, number of…

Salt Tolerance in Rice: Focus on Mechanisms and Approaches

I. N. Bheema Lingeswara Reddy, Beom-Ki Kim, In-Sun Yoon et al. · 1 May 2017

Salt tolerance is an important constrain for rice, which is generally categorized as a typical glycophyte. Soil salinity is one of the major constraints affecting rice production worldwide, especially in the coastal areas. Susceptibility or tolerance of rice plants to high salinity is a coordinated action of multiple stress responsive genes, which also interacts with…

Factors Affecting Adoption of Improved Rice Varieties among Rural Farm Households in Central Nepal

Raju Ghimire, Wen-Chi Huang, Rudra Bahadur Shrestha · 1 Jan 2015

The use of improved high yielding crop varieties is an important avenue for reducing hunger and food insecurity in developing countries. Using cross-sectional data obtained from a survey conducted during 2013 crop season, we performed a probit model (plot-level analysis) to determine the probability of adopting new improved rice varieties (NIRVs) by smallholder farmers particularly…
