"This book entitled, \'Rice Crop Science\' is written to serve a text/reference/guide book for the students of agriculture, veterinary, soil conservation, agricultural engineering--farm machinery and power, rice researchers and field practitioners. The book fills the need for an up-to-date comprehensive text on Increase the Rice Crop Production through rice improvement evolving new varieties, hybrid rice, aromatic rice; Integrated rice production technologies; and protection of rice crop against insect pests and diseases for the students. This book will be of immense use in imparting knowledge on rice for students, teachers, scientists, extension workers and professionals engaged in agricultural development. This book is very comprehensive covering all the basic principles of agronomy, rice botany, physiology, agricultural engineering, and soil science and plant protection towards rice production. 

The book will serve a good reference source for those interested for rice production and will be use to all research workers, students and enlightened farmers who are interested in learning about the growth and development and maturity of rice crop."
