My research centers on analyzing the yield benefit and disease control resulting from rice varieties mixture. Despite the wealth of information available on this topic in Chinese, Brazilian, and Japanese publications, there's a scarcity of accessible material for English-speaking readers (Except Zhu,Nature,2000). Consequently, I view this FSN Forum as a valuable opportunity to bridge this gap and bring attention to a practice that has been effectively implemented in China since 1990. By elucidating the benefits and methodologies associated with rice variety mixtures, I aim to contribute to the broader understanding and adoption of sustainable agricultural practices worldwide.
