Aerobic rice
Aerobic rice is a production system in which rice is grown under non-flooded, non-puddled, and non-saturated soil conditions. Because aerobic rice needs less water at the field level than conventional lowland rice, the system is targeted at relatively water-short irrigated or rain-fed lowland environments. Irrigation can be applied through flash-flooding,...

Seed priming to improve stand establishment and yield in finger millet
Crop establishment is often poor in the semi-arid tropics. However, good crop stand establishment is essential for the efficient use of water and light, and a uniform stand is a pre-requisite for cropping success. Seeds that germinate quickly produce viable seedlings that are not dependent on rapidly declining moisture in...
