                    [Summary] => 





A scientist of the Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice) has warned farmers to watch out for a weed that is fast invading rice farms in the country, competing for soil nutrients with the rice plants and reducing yields.


Dr. Madonna C. Casimero, acting deputy executive director for research of PhilRice (Philippine Rice Research Institute), said this weed is called weedy rice, as it is closely related to cultivated rice. As such, it is difficult to differentiate the weed and rice plants during the vegetative stage, most especially in direct-seeded rice.

                    [Summary] => Mulching makes use of farm wastes for ground cover to protect the soil, thereby, husbanding the plants grown on them, too. It prevents rapid runoff of rainwater and minimizes damages of heavy watering which creates puddles that stop microbial action. During dry season, mulch conserves moisture while keeping light top soils from being carried as dust by the wind. Other than those, it slows down weed growth, allowing plant growth to gain headway as it prevents moisture- and nutrient robbing competition of weeds and grasses.
