The effect of rice seeding rate on rice and fish production, and weed abundance in direct-seeded rice–fish culture

Aquaculture, 1999
Abstract Rice (paddy) and fish yields in concurrent, direct-seeded culture were investigated at the Co Do station located in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. Three different rice seeding rates (100, 200 and 300 kg ha −1 ) were used in the absence or presence of fish ( Oreochromis niloticus (all male), Puntius gonionotus , and Cyprinus carpio ...
