Rice Production Technology (English-Chinese Edition): High-Yield Cultivation, Mechanization & Pest Management

What problem does this book solve for you?

Growing rice looks straightforward — until you try to get consistently high yields. How should you treat seeds to maximize germination? When is the best time to apply fertilizer? What do you do when an unfamiliar pest or disease shows up in your paddy? How do you dry and store your harvest without losing it to mold?

This book answers these questions one by one.

Practical content, no fluff

The book follows the actual sequence of rice production. It starts with the biology of rice growth and development, so you understand the "why" behind each practice. Then it covers mechanized high-yield cultivation techniques, showing you the "how." A dedicated section focuses on identifying and managing major diseases (rice blast, sheath blight) and pests (planthoppers, stem borers), with clear diagnostic criteria.-41 The final chapters cover harvesting, drying, and storage — protecting the yield you've worked for.

Bilingual text — one book, two uses

The entire book includes full English translations alongside the Chinese text. Whether you're an agricultural extension worker in China, a Chinese agri-team operating overseas, or an international reader looking to understand China's rice production techniques, you can use this book directly. It's particularly suited for Belt and Road agricultural cooperation projects, overseas farms, and agricultural universities.-41

Who is this book for?

• Agricultural extension workers: apply the techniques directly in field guidance

• Rice farm managers and cooperatives: systematically improve cultivation management

• Agriculture students and faculty: a professional reference and English-language learning resource in one

• International agricultural professionals and cooperation project staff: the English text stands alone as a readable guide to China's complete rice production system
