Accelerating Hybrid Rice Development F. Xie, B. Hardy
Product ID: 9789712202520
This publication represents the Fifth International Symposium on Hybrid Rice (HR5). It continues the series that started in 1986. HR5 brought together 430 hybrid rice scientists from 21 countries and two international organizations, the International Rice Research Institute and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
HR5 focused on hybrid rice and food production; improvements in breeding; improving hybrid rice grain quality; technology of hybrid seed production; physiology and management for high yield and high resource-use efficiency; hybrid rice economics, public-private partnerships, and intellectual property management; and country reports.

Integrated Crop and Resource Management in the Rice-Wheat System of South Asia J.K. Ladha, Yadvinder-Singh, O. Erenstein, B. Hardy
Product ID: 978971220-2476
This book covers the history of the Rice-Wheat Consortium and explains the importance of resource-conserving technologies developed for this system, such as laser land leveling, zero-till and reduced-till drill-seeded wheat, direct seeding of rice, and a leaf color chart for nitrogen management.
Through integrated crop and resource management, farmers can combine their practices with these new technologies. This 395-page book presents the outputs of the Asian Development Bank project titled "Enhancing Farmers' Income and Livelihood through Integrated Crop and Resource Management in the Rice-Wheat System in South Asia". The goal is to produce more food at less cost (by improving yield per unit area) and improve water productivity. This is necessary because there will be an additional 20 million people per year in this area to feed. This book helps explain how this can be done.

Planthoppers: new threats to the sustainability of intensive rice production systems in Asia K.L. Heong, B. Hardy
Product ID: 9789712202513
This book provides summaries and analyses of key works and issues related to developments in research on the biology and ecology of planthoppers and provides details on management approaches. It has 19 chapters: of these, 17 are from the papers presented at the International Conference on Planthoppers - new threats to the sustainability of intensive rice production systems in Asia held at the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), Los Baños, Philippines, in June 2008. The aim of this book is to help shift paradigms in planthopper management and chart new sustainable approaches that will reduce the vulnerability of farmers' rice fields to hopper burn, virus infections, and economic losses.
