The demand for rice to meet the dietary need in low-income countries is expected to witness
an exponential rise as the population increases. Meeting the rice demand domestically has …

Rice is one of the most important crops for food security in Africa. However, there is a large
gap between its present demand and supply. Weed competition is basically one of the major …

Abstract Background Indian jointvetch (Aeschynomene indica) is a common and pernicious
weed found in the upland direct-seeding rice fields in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River …

Dry direct-seeding can get rid of the constraints of high-water demand, and is the simplest
and most labor-saving mode in rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivation. However, weeds are more …

The purpose of this research was to investigate a response of four promising lines of upland
rice (Oryza sativa L.) on low-light environments. The study was carried out at the Agronomy …

Weed infestation and inherent low soil fertility are among the major factors attributed to the
low yield of rice in Nigeria. Field trials were therefore conducted to evaluate the effect of …

Weed interference is a major threat to rice production, leading to high yield reduction and
reduced profitability. Therefore, field experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of …

Planting of weed-competitive rice cultivar at optimum seedling per hill is an efficient weed
management practice that can contribute to weed suppression and increased grain yield. A …
