Modeling in Scented Rice: Growth and Yield of Fine Rice Zuhair Hasnain

Rice is one of the oldest cultivated crops on earth and half of the world's population subsists wholly or partially on rice. 90% of the world's rice is grown and consumed in Asia, and in Pakistan it holds second pitch in consumption after wheat and is a major source of export earnings. Growing rice country wide, the Pakistan has an added advantage of world renowned KALLAR Tract (a bowl-shaped region) and fine rice of this area has a unique character of Aroma that distinct it from others and rated best in liking. So the study was made to analyze the crop growth and potential yield of scented rice using CERES-Rice simulation model under semi-arid climatic conditions of Pakistan. This book can give an overall idea about Pakistani fine Rice cultivar i.e., Sper basmati and it?s response and easy approach to know the ?Rice in Pakistan?.
