Rice is one of the most important foods in the world. As the demand
for rice continues to increase, there is an urgent need to increase
yields in the face of such challenges as climate change, threats
from pests and diseases and the need to make cultivation more
resource-efficient and sustainable. Drawing on an international
range of expertise, this collection focuses on ways of improving
the cultivation of rice at each step in the value chain, from
breeding to post-harvest storage. Volume 2 reviews research in
improving cultivation in such areas as irrigation and nutrition as
well as developments in disease and pest management. Achieving
sustainable cultivation of rice Volume 2: Cultivation, pest and
disease management will be a standard reference for rice scientists
in universities, government and other research centres and
companies involved in rice cultivation. It is accompanied by Volume
1 which reviews research in breeding, nutritional and other aspects
of rice quality.
