In the lowland stress experiments at Raipur, the mean
reduction in yield under drought stress relative to non-stress
was 95, 75 and 79% in 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively. In all
the stress experiments, the drought-tolerant parents (IR55419-
04 and Safri 17) significantly out-yielded the susceptible
parents (IR64, Way Rarem, and Abhaya).
