Green Super Rice (GSR) traits: Breeding and genetics for multiple biotic and abiotic stress tolerance in rice
In the past 29 years, the Germplasm Utilization Value Added (GUVA) project ihave delivered six released varieties that are resistant to some of the major diseases and pests to ensure high-yield stability in the tropics. These helped expand the cultivation area for temperate japonica to tropical regions. GUVA’s...
Low emission agriculture development will not be possible without significantly increasing the amount of investment in mitigation actions across the regions and agriculture sub-sectors but access to finance for climate action in agriculture is a major challenge. This paper evaluated innovative financial mechanisms and instruments that integrate climate finance, agriculture development budgets,...
“As a technical leader, IRRI needs to promote the contribution of social sciences to ensure farmer perceptions are contributing to prioritizing R&D efforts . India and the rest of Asia need to focus on working better with farmers to promote land aggregation and encourage the adoption of technological advances and mechanization.” ...
Malnutrition is linked with heavy dependence on monotonous cereal staples without much dietary diversification or nutrient supplementation. Even though significant efforts have been made over the last six decades to improve production and productivity in most food crops, it lacked associated nutritional improvement. Biofortification of cereals with elevated levels of essential micronutrients, vitamins,...
Crop calendars report the timing of key agricultural activities and crop development. At their most detailed, crop calendars can support the planning of many farm activities, from land preparation, planting, crop, soil, and water management through the growing season, harvesting, storage, and fallow. In this study, we present a method to automatically generate a spatial rice crop calendar covering...
