Item Rice Cultivation Manual(KALRO, 2018-06-15) Adoyo E.; Otipa M.; Wasilwa L.; Wayua F.; Kirigua V.; Gitonga C.Based on accepted practices and latest verification of results from Rural Development Administration (RDA) of the Republic of Korea and Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization (KALRO) joint project on Rice Improvement (July 2012-June 2015) through Korea Project on International Agriculture (KOPIA), this manual covers rice cultivation with emphasis on best practices on rice cultivation that are cost effective and environmentally sound. It provides information on nursery establishment, transplanting, spacing, fertilizer application and management of common pests and diseases in irrigated rice. The manual also covers best practices on rice post- harvest management, handling, value addition and utilization of food and non- food rice byproducts. We recommend this book to schools, students, extension workers and farmers and anyone working in rice who may wish to learn about rice cultivation.
