Genetic gain for rice yield in rainfed environments in India

Genetic gain is the amount of increase in performance achieved annually through artificial selection. Genetic gain estimation is vital for any crop breeding...

Yield advantage and economic performance of rice–maize, rice–soybean, and maize–soybean intercropping in rainfed areas of Western Indonesia with a wet climate

The goals of smallholders in rainfed areas are generally to reduce risks, generate income, and achieve food security. These goals, to some extent, could...

Potential of underutilized crops to introduce the nutritional diversity and achieve zero hunger

Most underutilized crops are meagrely cultivated in hunger-prone regions and have the potential to alleviate food and nutrient deficiency of a larger population...

Adoption trend of climate-resilient rice varieties in Bangladesh

The adoption of stress-tolerant versions of popular rice cultivars can enable farming communities to mitigate the current and future challenges of recurrent...

Global demand for rice genetic resources

This study was motivated by a need to document and understand how genebank users make use of genetic resources to enhance access to, and promote the use...

Impact of cropping system diversification on productivity and resource-use efficiencies of smallholder farmers in south-central Bangladesh

The government of Bangladesh has supported land-use intensification, with an initial focus on rice which now covers 78% of total arable land. While this...

The importance of market signals in crop varietal development: Lessons from Komboka rice variety

In Kenya, Komboka can enhance food and nutrition security by increasing local rice production which will, in turn, contribute to a reduction of rice imports...

Modification of nutrient requirements for a four crop-based cropping system to increase system productivity, maintain soil fertility, and achieve sustainable intensification

In Bangladesh, in terms of food security for the increasing population and the transformation of agrifood systems, the dominant double-cropping based pattern...

Restoration of rice ecosystem services: Ecological engineering for pest management incentives and practices in the Mekong Delta Region of Vietnam

In southern Vietnam, government support has facilitated the adoption of ecological engineering for pest management by thousands of rice farmers. Despite...
