e1“Four major physical or biological constraints to higher production levels of rainfed lowland rice were identified, (1) the lack of standing water at the appropriate time of transplanting, (2) severe water stress that often develops at the end of the growing season, (3) low yield potential of the present cultivars, particularly in Thailand, and (4) adverse soil conditions including low pH and low soil fertility”

Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Lack of standing water at transplanting is identified as a major constraint on rainfed lowland rice
- Observation Severe water stress at the end of the growing season is identified as a major constraint on rainfed lowland rice
- Observation Adverse soil conditions are identified as a major constraint on rainfed lowland rice
- Intervention effect Several methods reduced the influence of constraints and increased rainfed lowland rice yield
- Intervention effect Choice of appropriate cultivars and sowing time matched to crop phenology with water availability increased rainfed lowland rice yield
- Intervention effect Application of appropriate fertilizer increased rainfed lowland rice yield
- Intervention effect Adoption of high yielding cultivars increased rainfed lowland rice yield
- Intervention effect Adoption of direct seeding increased rainfed lowland rice yield compared with the traditional transplanting system
- Intervention effect Reduction of percolation water loss increased rainfed lowland rice yield
- Recommendation Appropriate rainfed lowland rice cultivars are early flowering and short-intermediate statured
