Rice Production and Planting
Introduction
This course provides theory and practical experience in rice production and planting,
farming system research and technology transfer or extension. It covers the basic
concepts associated with the rice plant, improved planting and irrigation practices
as well as agricultural technology dissemination.
Goals
Recognize and apply the important techniques of wetland rice planting.
Detect, identify, and solve common field problems of wetland rice production.
Improve hands-on ability of field trials and demonstrations through discussion and
interaction with technology extension specialists.
Gain experience in planning, conducting, analyzing, and interpreting scientifically
designed rice field experiments.
Duration Six weeks
Course Content
UnitⅠRice Production Research
A range of information, from the morphology of the rice plant to problem diagnosis,
prioritization, and research planning
Soil, nutrient, water management and weed control for rice
Management of invertebrate and vertebrate pests of rice
Disease management for rice
Postproduction techniques and problems
Statistical procedures for scientific experimentation
UnitⅡRice Production Technology
Water-saving irrigation system
Cultivation technology for super-high yield varieties and hybrid rice varieties
Seedling broadcasting and direct-seeding technologies
Environment-friendly cultivation technology
Organic fertilizer research and development
Methodology
Participants of this course take part in lectures, exercises in the field and laboratory,
project assignments, and field trips. About 40% of training time is devoted to lectures,
group discussions, and problem solving exercises and remaining time is centered
on field observation and paddy-based activities. Lecture supplements and exhibits
include specimens of rice plants that suffer from diseases, nutritional disorders,
and pest damage. At the end of the course, trainees are expected to apply what they
have learned to real-time paddy problem-resolving and rice production.
Training Team
The course is instructed by a team of experienced CNRRI scientists:
(The names are listed in alphabetical order.)
FU Qiang
Ph. D., Plant Protection Scientist
Mr. Fu engages in ecological security appraisals of transgenic rice, interrelationship
investigation of rice and insect pests and studies of rice fly symbiont microorganism.
He has co-authored two books and published over 40 scientific papers in journals
that are peer-reviewed.
JIN Qianyu
Ph. D., Rice Cultivation Scientist
Mr. Jin mainly focuses on labor-saving rice cultivation technologies with dominant
research fields covering physiological and ecological studies of direct-seeding
rice, integration of planting and ecological protection technologies for paddy fields,
cultivation technology of high quality rice without pollution. He has published
over 30 research papers in journals that are peer-reviewed and compiled and co-authored
six books.
YU Liuqing
Ph. D., Plant Protection Scientist
Mr. Yu concentrates on paddy weed control and herbicide application studies. His
research interests include development of microbial herbicide, plant allelopathy
and ecological controlling technologies for paddy weed. Mr. Yu has published about
50 research articles in journals that are peer-reviewed.
ZHANG Zhitao
Plant Protection Scientist
Mr. Zhang engages in insect informative behaviors and migration, genetic mechanism
of rice varieties conferring insect resistance and pest biotype variability. He
has presided many national key programs centering on molecular genetic mechanism
of virulent variability of brown planthopper Nilaparvata lugens, analysis of stridulation
sensitive factors of rice flies, ecological influence and genetic analysis of Bt
rice and integral prevention and control technology of rice insect pest. Mr. Zhang
has co-authored five books and published over 70 research papers.
ZHANG Xiufu
Ph. D., Rice Cultivation Scientist
Mr. Zhang concentrates on high-yielding rice variety developing, rice cultivation
system investigation, rice grain quality controlling techniques and forming mechanism.
He has undertaken over 20 provincial and ministerial research programs and 2 international
cooperation projects with 19 research papers and three books being published.
ZHU Defeng
Ph. D., Rice Cultivation Scientist
Mr. Zhu is a FAO and OPEC consulting scientist who provides instructions for rice
production research and technology. Since 1986, Mr. Zhu has been working at CNRRI
focusing on rice cultivation and physiology, integrated management technology for
high-yielding super rice, rice-based cropping system, systems analysis and modeling
for rice production and precision fertilization in rice cultivation.
Mr. Zhu has a Ph. D. from Nanjing Agricultural University (2000) and M. S. degree
from the same university (1986). He also served as a guest scientist at Wagningen
University, Netherlands and International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), carrying
out studies for joint research programs. Mr. Zhu has been a visiting professor at
many universities and institutions in Philippines, Japan, India, Vietnam Thailand
and Russia. Mr. Zhu has published more than 100 scientific papers in journals that
are peer-reviewed.
