Because of the simultaneous emergence of weeds and rice in direct-seeded rice (DSR), weeds are more problematic in DSR than in transplanted rice systems. In Pakistan, yield losses due to weeds in dry-seeded systems are recorded at 27-80%; however, in extreme cases, it results in complete crop failure up...
Vietnamese consumers seem willing to pay for products labeled as organic or eco-friendly. Similar results were found in a study investigating consumer willingness to pay for sustainably produced rice in Vietnam.
