Adoption of Minimum Tillage and Mid‐Season Drainage in Rice Production and Their Impacts on Farm and Economic Performance

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the effects of two greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation practices—minimum tillage and mid‐season drainage—on rice farmers' farm performance (e.g., crop yield and risk) and economic outcomes (e.g., income and vulnerability).

Response of 10 Elite “Green Super Rice” Genotypes to Weed Infestation in Aerobic Rice Systems [PDF]

Plant Production Science, 2015
In recent years, water and labor shortage in Southeast Asia is driving the farmers towards dry-seeded rice systems. Weed infestation is a serious threat for adoption of these systems. A study was conducted in the wet and dry seasons to evaluate the performance of 10 elite “Green Super Rice” (a recently named group of rice genotypes bred for unfavorable

A 4‐week community‐implemented diabetes prevention program is associated with improved metabolic outcomes at 12 months after participation

Diabetic Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Small Steps for Big Changes (SSBC) is a 4‐week, evidence‐based diabetes prevention program delivered by non‐medical personnel in community settings. This study explored changes in type 2 diabetes risk factors and health behaviours over 12 months following SSBC program completion. Methods A single‐arm pragmatic trial with repeated measures

Response of aerobic rice to Piriformospora indica.

Indian journal of experimental biology, 2014
Rice cultivation under aerobic condition not only saves water but also opens up a splendid scope for effective application of beneficial root symbionts in rice crop unlike conventional puddled rice cultivation where water logged condition acts as constraint for easy proliferation of various beneficial soil microorganisms like arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM)

Introduced dung beetles suppress methane emissions from cattle dung and alter the temporal dynamics of greenhouse gas flux Los escarabajos peloteros introducidos suprimen las emisiones de metano del estiércol de ganado y alteran la dinámica temporal del flujo de gases de efecto invernadero Besouros coprófagos introduzidos suprimem as emissões de metano do esterco bovino e alteram a dinâmica temporal do fluxo de gases de efeito estufa

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Dung beetles suppressed cumulative methane flux from cattle dung by 85% and reduced total greenhouse gas emissions by 18%. Beetle activity accelerated initial CO2 release but did not alter total cumulative flux. N2O and NH3 fluxes were transient and not consistently driven by beetle presence.

Performance of Different Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Cultivars under Aerobic Conditions

International Journal of Bio-Resource and Stress Management, 2011
Low land rice, the traditional rice growing practice, requires high water input and is being under threat due to increasing scarcity of fresh water under wet land eco-system that warrants new water saving rice cultivation.

Melatonin seed priming: A climate‐smart, green strategy to enhance abiotic stress tolerance in plants

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review synthesizes how melatonin seed priming preconditions seeds to enhance tolerance against diverse abiotic stresses. It highlights the underlying mechanisms and proposes an integrative roadmap of advanced molecular and breeding tools to design next‐generation, stress‐smart plants.

Growth and Physiological Performance of Aerobic and Lowland Rice as Affected by Water Stress at Selected Growth Stages

Rice Science, 2018
Aerobic rice technology is still new in Malaysia, and information regarding MARDI Aerob 1 (MA1), the first local aerobic rice variety, is still lacking. Therefore, comparative studies were carried out to determine the physiological performance of aerobic

Systemic, Lifestyle and Environmental Modifying Factors in the Pathogenesis of Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
A variety of impacting factors in the pathogenesis of periodontitis exist, including systemic, lifestyle, and environmental factors. This review highlights the manifold mechanistic aspects of the link between the pathogenesis of periodontitis, addressing these numerous factors to supplement the long‐standing knowledge of the progression of the disease.

Variation in nutritional quality of pigmented rice varieties under different water regimes

Plant Production Science, 2020
This study evaluated grain anthocyanin, zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe) concentrations, and grain yield of eleven purple rice varieties (PP1–PP11) grown under wetland (W+) and aerobic conditions (W0) in 2 years.
