Rice Mechanization

IRRI partners for mechanized rice tech to enhance productivity, reduce costs, emissions, and risks. Boosts Asia's rice sector, aiding small-scale farmers with limited equipment access.

Rice Farm Management

Rice Growth Stages

Outlining rice growth stages such as vegetative, reproductive, and ripening stages allow for rice farmers and extension workers to manage their time and execute appropriate practices crucial for high-quality rice.

Tractor Operation Skill

Tractors are frequently used in almost all of the stages of farming, from land preparation, field maintenance, to post-harvest operations. Mishandling of tractors can cause accidents that may lead to fractures, amputations, and even death.

Tractor Preventive Maintenance and Check

Knowledge of proper maintenance and basic checks of any machines and equipment are necessary to minimize, monitor, and prevent risks in any operations being done. Just like any other machines and equipment, tractors must undergo operational pre-checks before they can be used.

Nature-based Solution for Agriculture

One way to meet the increasing demand on the food system while halting further land degradation is through adopting Nature-based Solutions (NBS) in agriculture. NBS addresses societal challenges though the protection, restoration and sustainable management of both natural and modified ecosystems though a flexible, customizable set of actions that co-benefiting nature and humanity.

Laser Land Leveling Overview Micromodule

Poor land consolidation, insufficient mechanization including lack of precision land leveling, and inefficient use of agronomic inputs are some of the major challenges in rice production. These problems can be solved using laser land leveling (LLL).

Rice Farm Management

Land Preparation (Tillage & Its type) Micromodule

Land preparation is important to ensure that the rice field is ready for planting. A well-prepared field controls weeds, recycles plant nutrients, and provides a soft soil mass for transplanting and a suitable soil surface for direct seeding. It is one of the most expensive and critical operations conducted on a farm each season.

Rice Farm Management (An Overview)

Rice, wheat, and maize are the world’s three leading food crops; together, they directly supply more than 42% of all calories consumed by the entire human population. Human consumption in 2009 accounted for 78% of total production for rice, compared with 64% for wheat and 14% for maize. Rice is the essential food crop for people in low- and lower-middle-income countries of these three major crops.

Financial Planning in Rice Farming

Financial planning is an essential aspect of the farm’s operations because it provides road maps for guiding, coordinating, and controlling its actions to achieve its objectives. It involves not only ensuring that the farm would earn profit and making sure that cash is available when needed during farm operations.

Farm Planning & Crop Calendar

Transpiration Efficiency is the amount of water transpired by the plant per unit of carbon assimilated. It is an evapotranspiration component that is controlled by the plant and contributes to crop water consumption at the field level. Therefore, selecting for high transpiration efficiency may be a way to breed rice crops with lower water requirements.
