Mechanical Stubble Righting after the Mechanical Harvest of Primary Rice Improves the Grain Yield of Ratooning Rice

Agronomy, 2023
Ratooning rice is an essential rice-planting method. However, mechanical harvesting of the primary rice crop, while increasing efficiency, can negatively affect the yield of ratooning rice. Therefore, it is crucial to find ways to improve the grain yield
