Rice Production in Vietnam: Characteristics and Application of Chitosan| Chapter 2 | Cutting Edge Research in Biology Vol. 2

 This work decides the suitable process for preparing chitosan answer, and focuses on its applications in edible grain production, in particular concerning its activity suspiciously system of plants and growth supporter to increase rice production. Preparing chitosan answers from shrimp shells for edible grain production was investigated. The chitosan created from shrimp shells utilizing dilute acetic acid confirmed effective in controlling plants contamination by microbial agents leading to bigger yields. The field data of our studies showed that the yields of edible grain significantly increased (~31%) subsequently applying chitosan resolution. In general, applying chitosan increased edible grain production and reduced cost of result significantly. Chitosan and chitosan solutions groomed by the proposed patterns are more environmentally friendly, at low cost and maybe applied at a large scale for volume production of rice and possibly for different agricultural plants.

Assessment of Temperature Variability Effect on Rice Production in Nasarawa State, Nigeria | Chapter 10 | Modern Advances in Geography, Environment and Earth Sciences Vol. 3

 Cereal farmland production is critical for long-term global food stability. The quantity of cereal cropland production is partly a feature of climatic elements and is linked to climatic variation pulses. As a result, the impact of temperature variability on rice production in Nasarawa State, Nigeria, was investigated in this paper. The Nigerian Meteorological Agency provided daily maximum and minimum temperature data, which were translated into monthly averages, while the Nasarawa State Agricultural Development Program provided annual rice production data. The data was analysed using techniques such as the Linear Multiple Regression Model, coefficient of variance, and spatial data analysis. While both minimum and maximum monthly temperature variations influence rice production in the state, the latter, with a negative impact size of -3.145 and a coefficient value of -191,324.30 metric tonnes, poses a serious threat to rice production sustainability. Because of the negative effect of maximum temperature variations on rice production, Nasarawa State's rice production is vulnerable to climate variability as maximum temperatures rise. In contrast to the North and West senatorial districts, LGAs in the south senatorial district have more favourable positions for rice production due to less temperature fluctuation. To avoid the negative effects of temperature fluctuations, government and non-governmental agencies, as well as individuals, planning to develop rice farm project(s) in the study region should consider doing so in the South Senatorial District.
