The book is an updated version of Rice in India(1960) and rice Research in India(1985) published earlier by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research> The book covers almost all the fields of agricultural research on rice such as morphology, taxonomy, origin, antiquity, physiology, genetics plant breeding, agronomy, soil science, entomolgy, pathology, agricultural engineering, economics and marketing in India 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 and have no specialisation on the subject covered in chapter. The book is expected to serve as a reference book for teachers and students of state agricultural universities, extension workers working in the state departments of agriculture, organisations dealing with seeds, fertilisers, pesticides, herbicides, etc. It will also serve as a handy reference book for rice researchers who seek precise and updated information on their lateral disciplines. experts who have worked for more than thirty years in their respective fields in national institutes or state agricultural universities have contributed the chapters. The editors have long years of experience on rice research in the Indian agricultural research system. Each of them has contributed many research papers in their respective fields and has contributed chapters for scientific books.
