Tags: irri The Philippine unit of DuPont USA is looking for areas to plant hybrid rice seeds for commercial production in the country, its top official said.DuPont Far East Inc. Philippines is currently discussing rice varieties with the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), country managing director Ramon Abadilla told reporters on Thursday."We have already started research on growing our own hybrid rice seed locally. We are now researching the commercialization of hybrid rice grown here, he said. In the Philippines, DuPont is mainly engaged in the agriculture sector.DuPont produces hybrid corn in Luisita, Tarlac and Polomoloc, South Cotabato but imports hybrid rice from India. We are very strong on corn but not so much on rice. For now, our corn business can supply the needs of the market, Abadilla said.In its Luisita plant, DuPont installed a 194,000-kilowatt solar power facility which

Concise Analysis of the International SNP Genotyping and Analysis Market Forecasts to 2019
PR Newswire
SNP genotyping and analysis is used mainly as a research tool to identify genomic variations that lead to different morphological traits and can determine the health and ancestry of plants and animals. The growth of the market is attributed mainly to the increasing demand from diagnostic research, pharmacogenomics and animal breeding along with technological drivers such as reducing cost of sequencing and introduction of innovative technologies. There is an increasing opportunity in developing and developed countries for genotyping services which will be within the reach of a common man and that will represent several billion dollars' worth of business since people want to understand their genetic make-up in terms of aesthetic awareness (height, weight, obesity) or for serious diseases (diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular and others). The market products are internally affected by power of substitution since there are around 8 to 10 different efficient techniques to carry out SNP genotyping such as TaqMan, SNPlex, Microarray, MALDI-TOF etc. With the completion of the Human Genome Project, over 2 million SNP's have been added to global databases which in turn have initiated a series of research and development projects to understand potential of developing diagnostic tests through rapid genotyping techniques. A considerable amount of revenue is spent on research to developing diagnostic products similar to companion diagnostics which would enable to give us a preview of how a genome would unfold as an individual grows older. There is a high intensity of research in food crops such as rice, wheat, oats, corn, maize and other grasses. SNP genotyping in agriculture gained acceptance long before other applications. The GeneChip Rice 44K array offered by Affymetrix is one of the most popular platforms for rice genotyping which identifies variants that impact yield. Fluidigm's SNPtype assays have been utilized by International Rice Research Institute which holds the world's largest ex-situ collection of rice germplasm and plays a very large role in maintaining this repository.

district, recalled that during the ancient times, the older generation of people in the village grew long -term, mid-term and short-term rice.The long-term, unmilled rice is a crop grown in deep water or in lowland rice fields. It is grown first, but harvested later, he added.Middle-term rice is grown in medium-depth water. Its age is shorter than long-term rice. Short-term rice mostly grows in small fields, which require little water. Shortterm rice is grown because the shorter time to maturation means that it can be harvested more quickly.Moeun said: There are many types of rice including the long-term crops such as Pka Sla, Neang Sorn, Chang Kong Pluk, middle-term crops such as Pka Khnhei, Chhmar Prum, Tro Nung, White Rice and short-term crops such as Kramoun Sar, San-tus Pluk, A-rith and Kra-chak Chab rice. He added that in the current environment, those seeds have been abandoned almost completely. Rural farmers have turned to growing unmilled rice seeds, as instructed by officials from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing, due to their higher output and higher pricing in the export market.There is much evidence to suggest that Khmer people, with their unique civilisation, acquired the expertise to plant rice in ancient times. These skills continued to develop until peaking during the Angkor Era between the ninth and the 13th centuries. A Chinese diplomat, Chiv Ta Guan, who visited the Great Angkor City of Cambodia during the 13th century (1296-1297), wrote a book entitled The Customs of Cambodia. In it, he states that in and around Angkor City are many big reservoirs including,West Baray, linked by large and small tributaries. Green rice fields mixed with golden rice fields were harvested by Angkorians three times a year.Besides the Ta Guan notes, there are many manuscripts depicting rice, unmilled rice and rice fields. The manuscripts also show the King and his citizens giving gifts to each other as well as organising concessions across the farming community during his reign. Manuscripts at the Phimean Akas Temple, Ta Prohm and Preah Khan Temples describe works of King Jayavarman VII between 1181-1221 BC. Those manuscripts say that in the reign of King Jayavarman VII, the King built 102 illness-curing centres (what we would today call hospitals) across Cambodia. The King equipped each centre with facilities, equipment and more, including medicines.Many hab (an ancient Khmer unit of weight equal to 60 kilograms) of rice and unmilled rice was regularly supplied to hospital staff and patients. Quite possibly, during that time, the King dispensed thousands of tons of rice, both milled and unmilled, each year.One must note that the King governed and developed the land in a progressive manner relevant to the agricultural sector. Rice production in particular progressed to its peak stemming from the development of irrigation systems. They controlled the natural water through tributaries, creeks, rivers and especially the Baray reservoirs powered by irrigation systems throughout the country. Just around the Angkorian capital city, there are huge reservoirs including the West Reservoir. It is two kilometres wide, seven kilometres long and four to six metres deep.Jaya Tadak Reservoir on the eastern side of

Angkor, similar to the West Reservoir and Intra Tadak Reservoir, is located to the north of Preah Kor temple (southeast of Angkor).Additionally, far from the Angkor area, there are many more reservoirs, namely the Ang Trapaing Thmor reservoir in Banteay Meanchey province, Rorharl Reservoir around Koh Ke Temple in Preah Vihear province, Tonle Om reservoir in Kampong Cham province, Tonle Om reservoir at Chi Sor Mountain Temple in Takeo province and the Ang Kampingpouy reservoir in Battambang. Evidence surrounding these reservoirs suggests that there were many rice fields planted by the Cambodian people. In some areas they performed two to three harvests every year. The practice was handed down by Khmer ancestors from ancient times. Successive generations have kept these methods of rice cultivation alive by adopting wholeheartedly them.Khmers have known how to produce quality rice for thousands of years.The following information comes from manuscripts dating back to the early 11th century AD. They were discovered in the Ek Phnom Temple in Battambang province and are currently kept in the Ekime Museum in Paris.One inscription says that there is a local woman, living in Ta Kream district, who took jewellery, white rice and quality rice with a good smell, to give to the Kings teacher, named Yokesvara. It was given as a gift for devotion to Shiva Linga and all the other Gods over there. This is evidence demonstrating Khmer people in Battambang province have ancient knowledge about how to grow unmilled rice and produce high-quality milled rice with a rich, full colour and smell. For thousands of years prior to the existence of other nations in the region, the Khmer have been growing and cultivating rice.In accordance with the history of the Norkor Phnom, between the first and fourth centuries BC, they learned that the Khmer practised intensive agriculture dating back to that time. According to Chinese traders who travelled by boat to Norkor Phnom in the same time period, these residents (Funan residents) cultivated rice once but harvested it three times per year. The first harvest was done by cutting transplanted or thrown rice. The second, harvested from sa-srov (rice growing from the bottom part of the rice tree which can then grow again). The third, harvested from moure srov (the rice crop falling over the land and growing up from first rainfall giving rise to rice). Srov in Khmer means rice.Today, some people in different areas of Takeo still adhere to tradition cultivating practices: planting rice once per year and harvesting it three times. Whether this technique is followed depends on the geographical locations of the rice fields and the availability of good, natural fertilisers and extra space. The practice is followed by three methods.First, farmers crop or transplant the harvest for the first time.Second, the farmers reserve rice for the second cultivation.Third, the farmers preserve the land until rainfall at the beginning of the year.The unmilled rice falling to the ground during cultivation can grow again, getting it the name moure srov and becoming ripe as farmers harvest it the third time Image: 1-Farmers and experts from the NGO CAVA survey a rice field in Takeo province before the harvest.

By now, many of us have noticed impacts of the drought a dry countryside, fewer grazing cows and water only upon request at restaurants.Farmers, however, have been waiting, and in many cases worrying through the winter.Northern California crops are dominated by orchards and rice, which make up the bulk of farm income.If anyone can be lucky during a drought, Butte County nut farmers are more fortunate than other parts of the state because most orchards use groundwater, said Joe Connell, University of California farm adviser.If groundwater levels drop, growers will be pumping from farther down. However, the groundwater in the Sacramento Valley is in comparatively good shape.Connell said the recent rain has helped. Before the storms arrived, farmers were watering to ensure the soil profile wasn't completely dry.Watering in winter is a very rare occurrence.So far, things look like they will be OK for orchard crops, Connell said. The supply of bees was adequate and before the rains, there was time for bees to pollinate. Problems could occur for people who don't have access to wells, or are located over aquifers more susceptible to decline. At this point, it will be difficult for farmers to have new wells drilled before the growing season, Connell said. Many companies are already booked for months into the future.Rice in dry times.The story is different for rice, as farmers primarily use surface water delivered through canals."The buzz is that everyone is waiting on what the allotment will be," said UC Cooperative Extension farm adviser Cass Mutters. "No one will know until April 1."The recent rains have helped, but those storms were just a dribble compared to the amount of rain that would have normally arrived by this time of year.Both the Department of Water Resources and the Bureau of Reclamation have said water deliveries will be very low or nonexistent for growers. Some districts with senior water rights have been told water delivery will be 40 percent. Landowners with less secure water rights may very well receive zero.Until those numbers are finalized, its tough to decide exactly how much land to plant, Mutters explained.He has heard that up to 100,000 acres in the Sacramento Valley may be left unplanted.The price of rice is holding steady, he said, so farmers who have access to water will want to grow a crop.Those who have access to groundwater will calculate the costs, as pumping adds a utility bill to the bottom line. If a grower has tree crops in addition to rice land, the water will be shifted to trees, if possible, because trees are a large multi-year investment.Mutters said the deadline for taking out crop insurance was in February, and most folks are signed up.
IN THE LONG-TERM
The immediate concern is the 2014 crop. Yet, over the long-term drought can impact markets established by growers and rice handlers.When buyers can't rely on established business relationships, they look elsewhere."To regain the market share you (sometimes) have to sell at bargain prices to entice customers back," Mutters said.Australia, for

An Australian company ended up buying a mill in Woodland to protect its market share, Mutters explained.

BURIRAM, 7 March 2014 (NNT) Buriram Governor Thongchai Li-adun on Thursday led businessmen and other members of the public in the province to make contributions to the Bank for Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives' (BAAC) fund for assistance of rice farmers. The group made contributions in both options provided by the BAAC: noninterest bearing deposits and accounts with 0.63% interest per year. Staff at the BAAC branch in Buriram expected no less than 15 million baht of contributions to pour into the fund on Thursday. In Nakhon Phanom, deputy provincial governor Somchai Witdamrong and BAAC staff also made contributions to the fund on Thursday. The total amount of money owed to the farmers in Nakhon Phanom was 2.1 billion baht, of which 700 million has already been paid out, leaving 1.4 billion baht outstanding. The amount donated to the first type of fund, which was for money donation, stood at 13.3 million baht. The amount contributed into the second fund, which yields no interest to the depositor, stood at 258 million baht. The amount deposited in the third type of fund, which provides 0.63% annual interest, stood at 60 million baht.
