Rice Cultivation Under Abiotic Stress

Capture the future of resilient rice production with Rice Cultivation Under Abiotic Stress by Sudhakar Srivastava, Kundan Kumar, and Om Parkash Dhankher — an essential reference for researchers, agronomists, extension workers, and progressive farmers confronting climate-driven challenges.

This authoritative volume translates complex science into practical strategies. It explains how rice responds to drought, heat, salinity, flooding and cold at physiological, genetic and molecular levels, then connects those insights to on-field solutions: stress-tolerant breeding, precision irrigation, soil and nutrient management, and biotechnological interventions. Case studies and regionally relevant examples place emphasis on South Asia and Southeast Asia — including India — while offering lessons applicable across Africa, China, and Latin America.

What sets this book apart is its balanced approach: rigorous enough for graduate students and scientists, yet accessible for practitioners seeking actionable guidance. You’ll find clear explanations of screening methods, phenotyping approaches, and integrative crop management practices designed to boost yield stability under variable climates. The authors also discuss policy implications and pathways for scaling resilient varieties and technologies in smallholder systems.

Whether you’re developing breeding programs, advising farming communities, or designing climate-adaptation policies, this book equips you with evidence-based tools and up-to-date perspectives. It’s a timely resource for anyone involved in sustainable rice systems and food security planning.
