The project aims to document descriptions and GIS databases of major rice areas of affected by the stress in the Ayeyarwaddy region and the central dry zone of Myanma. In particular it seeks to:
Conduct evaluations and participatory assessments of productivity gains and risk reduction from different rice environments (rain-fed/ irrigated, saline, drought or submergence prone) from the adoption of newly available varieties and management practices; and
Provide guidelines for technology assessment and better targeting of options for the different recommendation domains, approaches to fast-track dissemination of rice varieties and crop management practices and curricula for well-targeted training courses to support scaling-out of options.
