Potential aerobic rice cultivar

In view of above discussion, a multi-location on-farm evaluation of promising aerobic rice genotypes was carried out under farmers’ participatory mode in the four project adopted villages in Cuttack district under ―Asian Development Bank (ADB) funded collaborative research programme between IRRI, Philippines and Indian Council of Agricultural Research/Central Rice Research Institute, Cuttack.

Rice is one of the most important food crops that feed over half of the global population and biggest consumer of fresh water diverted from irrigation. Water scarcity is burning issue of agriculture, outcome of climate change and unpredictable rainfall. It threatens the future of irrigated rice cultivation. Researchers developed new technology called ―Aerobic Rice‖ to cope up with present situation. Rice is grown in well-drained, non-puddled and non-saturated soils. Aerobic rice cultivar has drought tolerance capacity as well as yield potentiality.
