Rice Cultivation and Yield Improvement
Rice Cultivation and Yield Improvement is a research topic within Plant Science. Science Explorer counts 30k research works in it since 1950. 18.7% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers focuses on the management of water in rice cultivation to enhance productivity, with an emphasis on strategies for drought resistance, yield potential improvement, aerobic rice systems, QTL mapping for important traits, root characteristics, and the application of the System of Rice Intensification (SRI). It also explores nitrogen use efficiency and its impact on grain yield in rice production.
