This paper explores farmer-specific cultural, social and economic objectives within the extensive rice system in the … multifunctional goals. The empirical analysis uses farm-level data collected through a face-to-face questionnaire to a sample of rice … “improving rice quality”. Farmers are willing to “minimize fertilizers use”, both to reduce cost and to preserve environment …

Ricecheck, an extension program for rice developed by the NSW Department of Primary Industries, is based on eight best … management practice recommendations (“key checksâ€) considered essential for achieving high yields. The program comprises … information on the impact of the best management practices on crop yields and farm profitability. In this paper, the economic …

Rice is a major cash crop in eastern Arkansas, but most rice acres are intensively cultivated and grown on rented land … efficiency of no-till management and carbon credits in Arkansas rice production from the prospective if the landlord using … enhance preference for no-till in rice production by risk-averse landlords. …

Arkansas is the top domestic rice producer, representing nearly half of total U.S. rice production. Rice is a high …-cost crop relative to other field crops in Arkansas, and production costs for rice have increased significantly since the mid … 2000s due to rapidly increasing fuel and fertilizer prices.

The occurrence of low night temperatures during reproductive development is one of the factors most limiting rice … yields in southern Australia. Yield losses due to cold temperature are the result of incomplete pollen formation and … subsequent floret sterility. Researchers have found that in 75% of years, rice farmers suffer losses between 0.5 and 2.5 t …
