Effect of crop establishment method on growth, survival, and productivity of rice under submergence condition

Journal article examining how crop establishment methods affect growth, survival, and productivity of rice under submergence. Published by the Bangladesh Academy of Sciences on 2026-09-30.

During the feudal period rice was used in lieu of money for many purposes and so all suitable arable land would be put to paddy use. From the 1870s onward cash and coin took over most currency functions, but still rice was a premium product so small and fragmented ground was gradually consolidated and reshaped into rectangles suitable for machine tilling, transplanting, harvesting, threshing and polishing off the husk and bran.
