- Laguna International Rice Research Institute 1988
- 279 pages : illus.
Overview –
Morphology and physiology of rice ratoons –
Rice ratooning in practice –
Evaluation and potential of rice ratooning –
Cultural practices –
Genetics and varietal improvement.
"The papers presented focused in the advantages of the rice ratoon crop – its lower production cost, greater productivity, and reduced irrigation water requirements. Disadvantages, too, came under scrutiny – generally low yields, lack of varieties with good ratooning ability, uneven maturity, susceptibility to insects and diseases, and the lack of cultural practices for the ratoon crop.
The papers included in this volume constitute a comprehensive review of present knowledge on rice ratooning. The recommendations provide a framework of exploiting the advantages of rice ratooning and a strategy for overcoming the inherent problems in this rice cultural practice."
