Production constrainrs in deepwater lands<br />

Extreme floods and drought.<br />

Low plant population.<br />

Lack of adequate adaptability and stability in newly<br />

developed varieties.<br />

Non-availability of quality seed.<br />

Inadequate crop and resource management practices.<br />

Predominance of monoculture farming in deepwater<br />

lands.<br />

Weed management problems especially during pre-<br />

flood crop.<br />

Loss of yield due to yellow stem borer and ufra (caused<br />

by stem nematode).<br />

Suitable deepwater <strong>rice</strong> varieties identified and<br />

Two lowland varieties, FR 13A and<br />

FR 43B, from Orissa are the best<br />

donors for submergence tolerance.<br />

FR 13A has a high degree of<br />

submergence tolerance at the early<br />

vegetative stage (with least<br />

elongation habit), but is susceptible<br />

to submergence when floods recur<br />

in the late vegetative stage. The<br />

landraces Dhusara and Begunia<br />

Khajara tolerate cycles of flooding/<br />

submergence at both early and late<br />

vegetative stages.<br />

Deepwater area<br />

Varietal needs<br />

Drought tolerance at early crop<br />

establishment stage.<br />

Need-based elongation ability.<br />

Tall habit (150-175 cm).<br />

Nodal tillering to compensate for<br />

poor plant population.<br />

Kneeing ability.<br />

Photoperiod sensitivity (flowering<br />

between last week of October<br />

and early November).<br />

Non-shattering behaviour.<br />

Seed dormancy.<br />

Tolerance to yellow stem borer.<br />

Resistance to ufra.
