e0“Drought is a major production constraint of rainfed lowland rice grown in Thailand and Laos”
e3“The appropriate cultivars are early flowering and short-intermediate statured, possess high yield potential and ability to maintain favourable plant water status at flowering, and have the ability to establish well and compete against weed under direct seeding”

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 Low yield potential of the present cultivars is identified as a major constraint, particularly in Thailand
- 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
