The Federal Laboratory was established to ensure that Federal agencies and laboratories would assist universities and the private sector by moving new knowledge from the research laboratory into the development of new products and processes.

Campbell Coxe grows a pretty serious rice crop, one of a precious few located east of the Mississippi. He cultivates Carolina Gold, a nutty-tasting heirloom rice, on 200 acres along the Great Pee Dee River in South Carolina. Between the late 17th and late 19th centuries, this crop gilded lowcountry South Carolina’s fortunes, as the colony led North American rice production. In fact, rice couldn’t be ferried to northern European markets fast enough. Plentiful slave know-how and labor, tide-flooded fields, and savvy trade lobbying abroad created South Carolina’s comparative advantage in rice pro...

Selenium-rich rice has become one of the effective ways to increase people’s selenium intake. Selenium-containing proteins have higher antioxidant properties, which may lead to selenium-rich brown rice (Se-BR) having better storage stability than ordinary brown rice (BR). By measuring the peroxidation value, fatty acid value, carbonyl value and protein secondary structure, it was found that Se-BR had higher oxidation resistance stability than BR. The biological function of the differential proteins (DEPs) between ordinary brown rice stored for 0 days (BR-0) and 180 days (BR-6) as well as Se-ri...

Manual transplanting is tedious and time consuming which often the causes of delayed planting resulting yield loss of rice in Bangladesh. Mechanized rice transplanting is seen as a solution of labor problems. Likewise, using mechanized rice transplanting ensures uniform plant spacing as well as fast and efficient planting that contributes to high productivity (Manjunatha et al., 2009). Transplanters have been developed for rice seedling planting into puddled soils to alleviate labour shortages and reduce costs of rice establishment (Adhikari et al., 2006). Although, tillage for rice establishm...

Rice blast is a major biotic constraint of rice worldwide, that causes a serious threat to rice production. Genetic improvement of blast resistance is one of important objectives in rice breeding programs. Race-specific resistance genes (R-genes) confer complete resistance to rice blast fungus, but a breakdown of resistance mediated by R-genes has been frequently caused by new races of blast pathogen. To avoid the risk of genetic vulnerability, the use of race-nonspecific resistance has been concentrated in Japanese upland rice varieties whose resistance has been maintained for a long time. Ho...

Evapotranspiration with flooded, well-established rice averaged 0.61 cm/day, with a range from 0.31 to 0.84 cm/day. These variations resulted largely from climatic changes since they were closely related to evaporation losses from an open pan. The equation Y = 0.2691 + 0.4696 X (r = 0.97**) describes the relationship between evapotranspiration with rice and open pan evaporation, which averaged 0.55 cm/day during the experiment. Percolation losses in Toa soil (Mollisol) averaged only 0.20 mm/day after the first 2 weeks of flooding.

The obsolete genotypes with highest grain yield (Marish Shail) and early maturity (Malagoti) performance would be used as breeding materials to improve iron rich rice varieties.

Transplanters have been developed for rice seedling planting into puddled soils to alleviate labour shortages and reduce costs of rice establishment (Adhikari et al., 2006). Although tillage for rice establishment is significantly mechanized in Bangladesh, 16-18 % of total production costs are due to tillage and land leveling (BRRI, 2013). Development of a rice transplanter suitable for unpuddled transplanting under minimum tillage conditions could further minimize the land preparation cost which will be of interest to small-holder farmers. No significant work to date has been conducted in Ban...
