Opis

This research work aimed at reduction of arsenic in rice grain which is a prominent source of arsenic poisoning through water management. Varied levels of deficit irrigation were tested against common farmers' practice. It showed how deficit irrigation could be used at farmers' field to minimize the entry of poisonous arsenic into human body through food-chain. Besides, the research also aimed at saving water which is a precious natural resource.
