14 <strong>RICE</strong> <strong>RATOONING</strong>5. Cultivars that have so far proved better (yielding more than 50% of the main crop)should be pooled as genetic stocks and temporarily used for breeding.6. Ratoon rice suffers from insect pests and diseases and would act as alternate hostfor perpetuation of the pest to the main crop. Efforts should be made to screen forratooning ability of rice resistance to insect pests and diseases. Tolerance for lowtemperature, especially during the seedling stage, and for drought during the laterstages of the crop (because the crop is ratooned in off-season) should also beconsidered.7. Development of low-cost technology in terms of use of biofertilizer, weedmanagement, etc., to minimize cultivation costs is necessary to make ratoon rice aprofitable enterprise. Suitable agronomic practices covering sowing date/cuttingtime, cutting height, and fertilizer and water management should be worked outfor a given cultivar in various sites.8. Areas suitable for successful growing of ratoon rice should be identified and thepractice popularized to augment rice production.9. Postharvest technology, including seed viability, quality, and milling quality,should be studied.REFERENCES CITED1. Aubin, J. P. 1975.
