 | 10. IRRI Agronomy Challenge: Are Insects a Problem? (2 & 6 February 2012) Also see: irri.org Achim Dobermann, deputy director general for research at the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI; irri.org ), and Leigh Vial, head of IRRI's experiment station, are conducting a special project, the IRRI Agronomy Challenge, in which they are demonstrating how to grow a productive rice crop in a 25 x 100-meter field on IRRI's research farm. In this episode, they discuss with IRRI Entomologist Finbarr Horgan - http - if insects might be a problem in their plot. Commentary from Dr. Dobermann: 2 February: "As a purist, I can't be satisfied by how uneven our crop looks. The small patches with few or no plants we see scattered throughout the field are a stark reminder of what went wrong early on. But it's tillering time and we still have hopes that some may fill more. That's one of the fantastic features of rice -- it can tiller profusely when it has a lot of space to fill. Leigh says the best thing to do is to walk away for a couple of weeks and not worry about it. I won't go that far. We were out there this morning with Finbarr Horgan, our entomologist, to look at actual and potential insect problems we may face. For most people, insects tend to have a bad reputation and when they see them in the field, a natural reaction is that they must be doing something bad to the young, juicy rice plants. You don't see a lot when you're standing outside the field, but once you go in and stare down a little closer you'll find a whole biological microcosm in and ... 2012年02月06日再生回数 925 |
 | Stamps of approval: IRRI commemorative stamps are issued in the Philippines In honor of the 50th anniversary of the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI; irri.org ) based in the Philippines, the Philippine Postal Corporation (PPC; http ) has issued a set of four stamps celebrating the Institute's important work in rice research for the world, much of it done in IRRI's host country. The four stamps were officially released by Philippine Postmaster General Hector RR Villanueva in a special first-day issue ceremony at IRRI's headquarters in Los Baños on 14 April 2010, that date being IRRI's official birthday on which its Board of Trustees met for the first time in 1960. According to Elenita DL San Diego, acting manager of the PPCs Postal and Philatelic Department, the PPC receives, on average, around 50 requests each year to produce commemorative stamps for various causes, subjects, events, and a variety of organization and celebrity anniversaries, but only around 30-35 can be produced annually. Some of the most recent Philippine stamps feature Philippine marine biodiversity, 90 years of Philippine Rotary Club activities, the 77th birth anniversary of the late former Philippine president Corazon C. Aquino, and of course IRRI's 50th anniversary. We were only going to recommend one design to the PPC. However, our designer came up with so many great studies that we sent four different renderings, all of which were accepted by the PPC!, said Michael Jackson, IRRIs former Director for Program Planning and Communications. The stamps designer, Juan ... 2010年03月16日再生回数 5437 |

 | 7. IRRI Agronomy Challenge: Fertilizer Recommendation and Application (17 & 19 January 2012) Also see: irri.org Commentary from Achim Dobermann, deputy director general for research at the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI; irri.org ) "As of 17 January: I'm not impressed by how the crop looks so far, but we have to keep going and hope that it'll take off, also in some pretty bare looking patches. The next thing we need to do is figure out how much fertilizer to apply. I think farmers know very well that they need to apply fertilizer, but they also want to keep things simple. Their decisions are much influenced by fertilizer availability and price, their own experience, and convenience in applying the nutrients needed. Scientists, on the other hand, like to talk a lot about soil testing, soil nutrient supply, crop nutrient requirements, nutrient cycling, balanced nutrition, nutrient use efficiency, nutrient losses, or even site-specific nutrient management. They also tend to aim for a precision in calculating a fertilizer rate that may not have much practical meaning. Let's start with applying some common sense: • Our field has a fertile, deep clay soil with high organic matter content (about 4%); hence we really don't need to apply extra organic materials to further improve soil quality or yield. • We also don't have cheap manure or other organic fertilizer at hand (a problem that most farmers face too); if we had it, we would apply it to our vegetable garden, not the paddy field. • We want to use a NPK compound fertilizer to supply basic quantities of ... 2012年01月20日再生回数 682 |
 | IRRI Hail and Farewell: Melissa Fitzgerald and Greg Howell, 9 December 2011 Melissa Fitzgerald, Senior Scientist and Head of the Grain Quality and Nutrition Center, contributed to research and training on rice quality and nutrition for nearly 8 years at the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI; irri.org ). She has achieved global renown for her research on grain quality in rice. She established IRRI's Grain Quality and Nutrition Center as a world-leading research facility. She pioneered research on characterizing the genetic diversity and genetic controls of rice quality and nutrition traits, leading to the development of new methods and molecular markers for breeding programs. A steady stream of high-quality publications is evidence for this success. Melissa has also set new standards in high-quality, efficient grain quality services provided to breeding programs in and outside IRRI, including the development of a whole new business model for that. One of her most significant achievements was the establishment of the International Network for Quality Rice (INQR; https ), which aims to bring new science to traits of quality, standardize the measurement of quality traits, and identify new traits of physical, sensory, and nutritional quality. With nearly 100 members globally, many of them women, the INQR has become a true model for a modern science community of practice. Since 2010, Melissa has been active in developing and coordinating activities of the Global Rice Science Partnership (GRiSP), including becoming the leader of IRRI's program ... 2011年12月11日再生回数 239 |
 | IRRI: Rice genetic diversity and discovery Hei Leung, senior scientist at the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI; irri.org ), explains the Institute's program on Rice Genetic Diversity and Discovery meeting the needs of future generations for rice genetic resources. This program provides the foundation for applying rice genetic diversity in the implementation of IRRI's Strategic Plan ( irri.org ). It focuses on three themes: characterization and creation of genetic diversity, and gene-function assignment; conservation and documentation of germplasm (seeds and the genetic material they contain); and enabling access to and use of genetic diversity and associated tools. These activities aim to solve production problems by using genetic diversity and by providing a genetic research platform that enables efficient conservation and use of genetic diversity. Thus, the program, which represents the interface between understanding and applying genetic diversity, promotes a convergence of approaches and innovations. Although the program's activities are driven by the problems IRRI seeks to solve, the research also accommodates exploratory work to serve long-term needs. In developing a public genetic research platform, a key achievement of the program has been the production of more than 150000 high-quality single-nucleotide polymorphisms (known as SNPs, these are small variations, such as single-base mutations, in gene sequences) across 20 rice genotypes through the OryzaSNP project, a collaborative effort ... 2008年09月04日再生回数 1365 |

 | 4. IRRI Agronomy Challenge: Drumseeding vs Broadcast Sowing (6-7 January 2012) See also: irri.org Achim Dobermann, deputy director general for research at the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI; irri.org ), and Leigh Vial, head of IRRI's experiment station, find that seed sowing is not that easy when planting in a 25 x 100-meter field on IRRI's research farm. Commentary from Mr. Vial "On 6 January, we tried the drum seeder, but it quickly sunk to the axle in deep mud. This is a special kinda dirt! We tried larger diameter wheels to keep the metering drums out of the mud, but alas no help. We even tried to lift the seeder a little by pulling the tow-bar a little higher than normal (logical for a six-foot-something German), but this helped little and was leading us both straight to a physiotherapist if we persisted. We learned that the drum seeder is not applicable to all Plan B was broadcasting the next morning (7 January) at 80 kg/ha. After a calibration run (scales stolen from Achim's kitchen like all good farmers do...), we both got our rates about right, but getting a uniform spread is a little bit of an art. The shoots are quite long now, which may help where the water is lying. It took two of us about 30 minutes to broadcast the 0.25 ha; slow, but heaps quicker than transplanting. We spent the last hour carving extra ditches to drain the field, as removing the last centimetre of water is tough. Gravity offers little at this point. I dearly wish we could design for a small slope across the field -- say 0.1% or more - to convince the ... 2012年01月09日再生回数 1434 |
