Efficacy of new herbicides for controlling weeds in aerobic rice

This book provides a broad outline of weed management in aerobic rice. In the 21st century along with population pressure, the scarcity of agricultural land, water and shortage of labour maintained pressure for a shift towards aerobic rice cultivation. Aerobic rice is a new way to decrease water requirements in rice production. Aerobic rice suffers more due to weed menace as the weeds. The labour requirement for weeding is a major impediment to the adoption of water saving aerobic rice. Herbicides are considered to be an alternative or supplement to hand weeding, which accelerates the pace of rice production by chemical weed management practices in aerobic rice. The book would prove useful to research scientists for weed management in aerobic rice.
