The book covers almost all the fields of agricultural research on rice such as antiquity, morphology, taxonomy, origin, physiology, genetics, plant breeding, seed production, agronomy, soil science, entomology, pathology, agricultural engineering, post-harvest technology, economics and marketing up to the present time but highlights the work done during the last forty years in India. The chapters have been especially written for readers who have graduated in agricultural sciences but have no specialisation on the subject covered in a chapter. The book is expected to serve as a handy reference book for teachers and students of state agricultural universities, extension workers working in the state departments of agricultural and organisations dealing with seeds, fertilisers, pesticides, herbicides, etc. It will also serve as a reference book for rice researchers who seek precise and updated information on their lateral disciplines. Rice scientists who have worked for more than thirty years in their respective fields in national institutes or state agricultural universities have contributed the chapters. 2005, 1250 pages, illustrated Part 1-2 set ISBN 81-7019-439-3 Rs. 4000.00 ISBN 1-55528-297-0 $250.00
