question about rice books

[Pankaj Jaiswal]

Dear Jeffery,

You can buy the book "Science of the rice plant", from
http://www.ruralnet.or.jp/E/srp/

or or else you can ask for an interlibrary loan for this book from Cornell
University.

There are many more  good books covering the topics you mentioned on rice are
available from 
Barnes & Noble (www.books.com) 
Amazon.com
IRRI at http://www.irri.org/pubcat2000/pubcontents.htm

Sincerely

Pankaj
