Rice (Oryza sativa)
Rice is the most important crop of our country, which accounts for 29% of the world’s rice acreage. The crop is a staple food for more than 40% of the Indian population.
It is cultivated in 44 million hectares in India, which occupies 22% of the country’s cropping area.
However productivity in India is less than the world average due to weeds and incidence of insect pests and diseases.
