Use of Rice Processing Residues - Bok av Lucas Franco Corrêa Schalcher - Häftad

Rice is a cereal that almost the entire Brazilian population eats. It has a large agricultural production, mainly due to its ease of adaptation to the climate and different types of soil in Brazil. As well as the grain, the cereal is also made up of its husk, which can be put to different uses, as indicated by some of the research studies into viable alternatives for reusing rice processing waste. This research report presents the results of a literature review on the use of rice processing residues..

Rice production in the peri-urban area of Mahajanga - Bok av Heriniaina Ramahefarison - Häftad

Rice cultivation in the lowlands of the peri-urban area of Mahajanga is a small family operation, producing about 0.8 t/ha. Currently, the Tahia variety is one of the most widely grown varieties in the two sites, and it meets the criteria of producers' choice and consumers' expectations. Rice yield improvement was done by determining the influences of transplanting age, transplanting density, number of strands per clump and fertilizer application. The results obtained show that plants transplanted..

PREDATORS AND PARASITOIDS OF INSECT PESTS OF UPLAND RICE - Bok av Ismael Sadou - Häftad

Collections were made every two weeks at each stage of rice development (seedling, tillering and heading). Nine species of predators and four species of parasitoids were..

Study of the economic profitability of rice farmers in the ON - Bok av Issa Kanadjigui - Häftad

The Office du Niger zone remains the main pole of rice production, which is essentially carried out by family farms. The Niono production zone is the oldest production zone after Macina, covering a total area of 14,898 ha divided between four (4) developed ponds (see presentation of the zone). The first phase of our study was to make a comparative analysis of the profitability of rice farmers who own equipment and those who use the service, and finally to explain the process of issuing technical..

Efficiency of rice seedbeds in the Koussin-lélé perimeter in Benin - Bok av Idelphonse O. Saliou - Häftad

Seed is one of the key inputs for good rice production. Its multiplication requires more care and technical skill than simple paddy production. The aim of this study was to assess the efficiency of rice seedbeds in the Koussin-lélé irrigated perimeter in the commune of Covè, Benin. All 141 farmers of the perimeter were surveyed on their production of the first cycle of the 2014-2015 agricultural season. The operating account and production frontier methods were applied. It emerged that 1 FCFA..

Agro-morphological characterization of rice varieties - Bok av Makan Diarrisso - Häftad

Rice is most often grown under continuous flooding and uses large quantities of irrigation water. The effects of climate change will exacerbate the incidence of droughts and floods, and sustainable food security will depend on increased agricultural production and reduced consumption of irrigation water. In areas where water availability could pose problems, the use of irrigation systems adapted to water constraints is driving the development of new technologies. On the one hand, this will enable..

Hygienised urine in irrigated rice production in Katiola (Côte d'Ivoire) - Bok av Koné Kinanpara - Häftad

Urine hygienised by storage is effective in eliminating microbial germs, particularly schistosomes, and inactivating their eggs. It is a credible alternative for combating bilharziasis. The EcoSan approach offers the prospect of eradicating both forms of bilharziasis (urogenital and intestinal) by covering all localities with a complete ecological sanitation system and selling hygienised excreta as fertiliser to farmers. Urine used as an agricultural fertiliser also improves yields, with the added..

Self-sufficiency of Staple Grains in Mexico - Bok av Agustin de Luis Peralta - Häftad

In order to achieve food sovereignty, it is essential to have the capacity to satisfy the nation's consumption through food availability. In the case of basic grains, its capacity must be determined through food self-sufficiency.The most important basic grains for Mexico are rice, beans, white corn and wheat, which represent part of the daily diet of society.Self-sufficiency can be understood as the capacity to satisfy demand through a country's production.In order to determine whether basic grains..

The secondary granaries of the savannahs - Bok av Léger Daodjoah Jalombi - Häftad

When it comes to assessing Africa's economic potential, the focus is on its subsoil, its people and, to a lesser extent, its agriculture, which is struggling to produce the cereals needed to feed its people. Witness the quantities of rice from Asia that invade African markets every day. Africa's potential for fruit production is not often mentioned, because it is assumed to be derisory and ignored. Apples and other fruits marketed worldwide are hardly produced in Africa. Ignorance of the potential..
