Drought stress is one
of
the
most
important
limitations
for
rice
production
in
rainfed
lowland
systems.
This
is
the
case
in
rainfed
systems
now,
and
will
probably
even
be
more
important
in
the
near
future
given
the
changing
climate.
Recent
advances
in
rice
breeding
provide
much
improved
drought
tolerance
in
modern
rice
cultivars
as
has
already
been
shown
in
farmers’
fields.
To
accompany
these
new
cultivars,
complementary
crop
management
practices
and
diversified
production
systems
have
an
important
role
to
help
farmers
minimize
risks
and
raise
productivity
and
profitability.
To
evaluate
the
options
we
reviewed
a
wide
range
of
studies
investigating
management
options
for
rainfed
lowland
rice
with
a
specific
focus
on
drought-prone
environments.
To
introduce
the
environment
we
provide
an
overview
of
general
char
acteristics
with
a
more
detailed
analysis
of
soil
quality
in
rice-based
rainfed
lowlands
around
the
world.
Reviewed
management
technologies
to
mitigate
drought
stress
include
water
management
options,
the
choice
of
appropriate
germplasm,
adjusted
cropping
systems,
improved
nutrient
management,
different
crop
establishment
options,
better
field
management
and
soil
amelioration.
Several
of
these
technolo
gies
do
offer
important
advantages
but
their
usefulness
and
applicability
is
dependent
on
site
and
system
characteristics.
Thus,
a
combination
of
germplasm
×
environment
×
management
is
necessary
to
choose
the
best
management
for
a
given
rainfed
lowland
system.
Getting
this
right
can
transform
rice-based
systems
in
rainfed
lowlands,
make
them
more
productive,
and
increase
and
stabilize
farmers’
income.
