Abstract
Rice is a staple food crop. Its annual production in India and the world is about 90 and 400 Million Tons (MT) respectively. Rice is a major cereal in India accounting for about 40% of food grain production and over 30% of its cropped area. India’s share in world rice production is about 22% (Baruah and Jain 1998).
