It can be used as alternative medicine, it can be also used to make soap, and even as as an ointment and wax. Rice is one of the world's most important food crops and more than half of the people in the world eat rice as the main part of their diets. In some parts of the world, the word “to eat” literally means “to eat rice.” Young rice plants have a bright green color and as the grain ripens the plants turn golden-yellow. A typical rice kernel is ¼ to 3/8 inches long.

Rice is normally grown as an annual plant, although in tropical areas it can survive as apperennial and can produce a ratoon crop for up to 30 years. The rice plant can grow to 1–1.8 m (3.3–5.9 ft) tall, occasionally more depending on the variety and soil fertility. It has long, slender leaves 50–100 cm (20–39 in) long and 2–2.5 cm (0.79–0.98 in)

Malaysia and Thailand have tropical climate which is suitable for the plantation of palm oil and paddy in the country. 1.1.1 Rice Production in Malaysia and Thailand In Malaysia, rice is regarded as the most important crop in the food sub-sector. However, the area under cultivation of paddy has persistently declined since the mid 1970s (Athukorala et al., 2009) and 90% of the rice consumed locally was produced domestically. Rice production rose from over 1 million tonnes in 1960 to 1.9 million tonnes in 1979, but starting from year 1980 to 1989 the production of paddy decreased until 1.7 million tonnes. The peak of paddy’s production was from 1995-1999, when production increased over 2 million tonnes (Department of Statistics Malaysia, 2002).

    The Green Revolution in the 1960s up to the early part of the 1980s was one of the major factors that enabled the Philippines not only to be self-sufficient in rice but also to export some of it to neighboring countries in 1977-78. There is no reason why the Philippines, with its natural resources, trained manpower and favorable climate, cannot replicate the Green Revolution and finally attain rice self-sufficiency.…

    The method which the farmers used to control the weedy rice is by using the transplanter machine. The transplanter machine was introduced to the community in year 2004 when the occurrence of weedy rice became very serious. The technology of using transplanter machines was introduced in Taiwan and brought to Sekinchan.

    ROME (Reuters) - Italian center-left leader Pier Luigi Bersani rallied his party on Wednesday behind a plan to form a minority government backed by populist Beppe Grillo after failing to secure victory in last week's election.Bersani, whose coalition threw away a 10-point lead in the opinion polls before the February 24-25 vote, won control of the lower house but let slip a workable parliamentary majority by failing to win the Senate.The result has left no group able to form a government on its own and Italy facing weeks of uncertainty. A new election could be called within months if no accord can be reached between the divided parties.Underlining pressure on politicians to agree on a government to tackle the problems of one of the world's biggest sovereign debtors, credit rating agency DBRS cut Italy's debt grade to A (low) from A on Wednesday, citing political uncertainty and a prolonged recession.Moody's Investor Service has warned the vote was bad for Italy's credit rating while Standard & Poor's has said its rating could be affected in the future. All major agencies rate Italy's outlook as negative.In an address to officials of his Democratic Party in Rome, Bersani, a 61-year-old former industry minister, acknowledged that the result was a defeat but said the left was the only political force capable of forming a government.…
