Synopsis

This book delves into the composition of gases found in swampy rice fields, particularly methane and hydrogen, and how they relate to the growth and cultivation of rice in these unique environments. In the past, it was assumed that certain fermentation processes specific to rice fields were responsible for the production of these gases. However, this book presents evidence to challenge this notion, suggesting instead that the gases are formed through a series of reactions involving the decomposition of organic matter under anaerobic conditions. The author delves into the details of these reactions and their implications for the cultivation and management of rice paddies, providing valuable insights for researchers, agricultural scientists, and policymakers working in the field.
