Tahmida; Heulin, Thierry; Hartmann, Anton\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eBiological nitrogen fixation (BNF) has become important in rice  farming systems because this process diminishes the need for expensive  chemical fertilizers which have been associated with numerous health  and environmental problems. The extensive exploitation of BNF would  provide economic benefits to small farmers, avoiding all malign  influences of chemical fertilizers. \u003cbr\u003e  Meanwhile, advances in biotechnology have brought rice genetics to the  threshold of new opportunities for increasing rice production. \u003cbr\u003e  This volume focuses, in six different sessions, on the role of BNF in  the improvement of rice production in the light of the current state  of the art of BNF technology transfer and diffusion. New ideas on BNF  technology in research, extension information and inoculant technology  are also included, together with the socio-economic impacts of using  BNF in rice farm systems.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1996-11-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792341970\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-015-8670-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 248\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46311916994700,"sku":"9780792341970","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792341970.jpg?v=1771514451","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792341970","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
