No crop is grown for the 2-3 mo (November-February)between the two rice crops. Ratooning provides the potential for another cropduring that short period.Yield and yield components in ratoons of HYVs were tested in the wet and dryseasons at Bidanchandra Krishi Viswa Vidyalaya. Short-duration varieties in wetseasonratoon yielded little and the late-maturing IR42 yielded nothing because ofthe low December temperature (Table 9). Yield components such as panicles per hilland filled grain wt were nearly equal to those of the wet season crop (2).CONCLUSIONRatooning rices in the semideep and deepwater areas has a potential for high yieldwith low cultivation cost. Further studies are needed on:
