Schizotetranychus oryzae Rossi de Simons (Acari: Tetranychidae) is considered one of the most important phytophagous mite in rice cultivation in the Americas South, Central, and North. This study aimed to examine some biological aspects of S. oryzae developing on leaves of three different cultivars of rice [Oryza sativa (L.)-Poaceae] produced in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. The plants were kept in a room at 25 ± 1°C, with natural light (photophase of approximately 14 h) and 70 ± 5% relative humidity. During the immature stages, observations were carried out daily at 7 am, 1 pm, and 7 pm. The results showed that the mean duration of the egg-adult period in days were similar between cultivars evaluated (Irga 424, 11.27 ± 0.13; Taim, 11.21 ± 0.14 and Sinuelo, 11.13 ± 0.15). Egg-adult viability on Irga 424, Sinuelo, and Taim was 61.9, 85.71, and 90.48%, respectively, being lowest on Irga 424 (χ2 = 28.62, p < 0.0001). The duration of the immature stages was not affected by cultivar, but on Irga 424, egg-adult viability and female longevity were lower. The results of this study can help select O. sativa cultivar resistant to S. oryzae. However, historically, the IRGA 424 has lower populations of S. oryzae in field conditions.

Drying rice in a single layer in a silo-dryer-aerator allows uniform drying. The objective of this study was to evaluate the physical, physicochemical, and morphological quality of rice grain cultivars (IRGA 424, BRS Pampeira, and Guri INTA) in the lower (initial time) and upper (final time) layers in a silo-dryer-aerator, employing single-layer loading at low temperatures, using the methods of near-infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and multivariate statistical analysis. Drying rice in silo-dryer-aerator attenuated the moisture diffusivity in the grains, minimizing its effects on the physical, physicochemical, and morphological properties of the grains.

Cultivars and fertilization levels influence rice productivity and can be associated with grain quality. Thus, it is possible to make decisions regarding the choice of cultivars and application of fertilizer levels based on the type of milling, a necessary post-harvest process that may minimize the nutrient load in the grains and result in loss in quality. This study relates the physicochemical composition and morphological quality of brown and polished milled rice grains, cultivar types, and different levels of soil fertilization using near-infrared spectroscopy analysis, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy.

Background: In subtropical areas, early planting exposes rice seedlings to cold stress, impairing seedling growth and making them more vulnerable to other stresses including herbicide injury. The objectives of this work were: to evaluate the effect of cold stress on bispyribac-sodium selectivity in rice; to determine the mechanisms of cold tolerance in sensitive ('Epagri 109') and tolerant ('IRGA 424') rice cultivars; and to ascertain that cold acclimatization influences bispyribac-sodium selectivity in rice.
Results: Prolonged cold stress caused high lipid peroxidation, increased rice injury, and stunted growth.

Silicon (Si) is an element that can improve the growth and development of rice plants in water-deficient environments because it is an enzymatic stimulant, signaling for production of antioxidant compounds. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the relationship between water deficiency and the effect of Si on two rice cultivars whose seeds were treated with dietholate. The experimental design was fully randomized with three replicates, and treatments were organized in a 3x2x2x4 factorial arrangement: three water soil conditions (50% and 100% of soil water retention capacity (WRC) and complete submergence in a water blade of 5.
