Synopsis

This book explores how continuous submergence after broadcast seeding controls water grass in rice culture. As a sequel to the author's previous work on the topic, this book presents the results of experiments conducted from 1922 to 1924 at the Biggs Rice Field Station in California. These experiments investigated the effects of submergence depth, irrigation method, seed rate, and seedbed preparation on water grass control and rice yields. The author provides valuable insights into the development of effective rice cultivation techniques specific to California's Sacramento Valley, where water grass poses a significant challenge. The findings presented in this book can help rice growers optimize their production methods to achieve higher yields and better control of water grass.
