                    [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.
