Training manual for rice production

Unfortunately, the flow of this new knowledge to the rice farmer has been slow. The need exists to train rice extension workers in this new technology so they in turn can teach farmers. This manual has been developed to serve those involved in teaching the new rice technology. In addition, it can serve scientists and farmers alike, as a reliable guide to the performance of the tasks involved in producing irrigated rice. The manual contains all the lessons on the skills of producing rice. The authors have made liberal use of "Preparing Instructional Objectives" by Dr. Robert F. Mager and "The Preparation of Occupational Instructors" a suggested course guide published by the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, Office of Education. The technical information is based on reports and writings of IRRI scientists, technical publications of private businesses, and many other sources.
