Irrigation needs in that region are low, and development is limited to small areas of lowland rice.

This particular type of soil is presently devoted to lowland rice farming.

In 1868-1869 the rains ceased a month before time, causing the failure of the lowland rice crop and a famine.

This soil type is fertile and suitable for lowland rice but needs water drainage for upland crops.

Gall midge in Cambodian lowland rice.

It was, after all, the height of the malaria season, and nowhere was the danger greater than on the lowland rice plantations like Concord.

Inviting waves lap at its crescent beach against a backdrop of swaying palms, lowland rice paddies and verdant mountains.

Rice paddies also yield fish in irrigation ditches in na (lowland rice fields).

These types of soils are suited to lowland rice and corn while those in the upland are suited for orchard and pasture.

It is in the Yangtze River Delta where the geography is characterized by lowland rice paddies, canals, rivers and lakes.

Wet land or lowland rice is a rainy season crop, being heavily dependent on water, and therefore produced from July (planting season) to October (harvest season).

The lowland rice plants in Japan (japonica-type) are easily afflicted by RSV, however, upland japonica-type,indica-type, and Javanese varieties are resistant genetically.

In the west it borders Shiota at Kishima Mountain, and in the east it borders the Ariake Sea and is an area of lowland rice paddies.

The Dusun word Ranahon (Ranau) itself is used to describe a wet field of lowland rice (see Toponymy above) and so it was plausible that floods had submerged the plain, thus giving a lake-like view when seen from the highlands.

Japonica varieties are usually cultivated in dry fields, in temperate East Asia, upland areas of Southeast Asia and high elevations in South Asia, while indica varieties are mainly lowland rices, grown mostly submerged, throughout tropical Asia.

The Institute has two research stations- Central Rainfed Upland Rice Research Station (CRURRS), Hazaribagh, in Jharkhand, and the Regional Rainfed Lowland Rice Research Station (RRLRRS), Gerua, in Assam.
