Preface Rice is among the three most important grain crops in the world, and it has a major contribution to fulfill the food needs across the globe. The role of rice crop is inevitable in the current and future global food security. Rice is grown in Asia, Americas, Australia, Europe, and Africa following diverse production practices. Pests and other problems, genotypes, and management practices in rice vary greatly in different parts of the world. Such difference are needed to be highlighted in order to understand and improve the global rice production. Our book Rice Production Worldwide will help the readers to understand the past trends in global rice production, the current cultures of rice production in a global perspective, and the changes that are required to improve and sustain the rice productivity in different regions. In this book, we have addressed the rice origin, history, role in global food security, rice physiology, major rice producing areas of world (their importance, characteristics of rice cropping systems, management practices; salient technologies involved, merits and demerits of the particular systems), major rice production systems (conventional flooded system, aerobic rice system. etc.), rice cultivars, fertilizer management, and pest management in rice. Further, we have highlighted the harvesting, threshing, and processing of rice as well as the role of biotechnology in improving the rice production, quality, and nutrition. The book is equally advantageous for academicians, researchers, students, and farming community. Gatton, Queensland, Australia Düzce, Turkey Ludhiana, Punjab, India Bhagirath S.
