The Philippines-based IRRI said a study this year concluded that dry spells, more than floods or typhoons, is the primary recurring threat in Asia, where around a fifth of all the rice-growing areas are drought-prone.

LOS BAÑOS, Philippines -- One of the most traditional, but
back-breaking, scenes in Asian agriculture is slowly disappearing as an
increasing number of rice growers adopt new farming practices. Images of men

part of the region's agricultural landscape for generations.

Recent developments in rice production technology as well as new economic
trends, however, are encouraging farmers to shift from traditional
transplanting to direct seeding.
