agronomic and the genetic management. Wi t h the genetic management option droughttolerant
varieties, once developed, would be a low economic input technology that
woul d be readily acceptable to resource-poor, rainfed, small land holding farmers.
Development of this genetic management technology requires robust, reproducible,
simple, and rapid f ield, pot, and laboratory screening methods for identification of
traits of drought tolerance in germplasm, and incorporation of the same in high-yielding
varieties using conventional and biotechnological tools. Scientists working in various
national and international crop drought research programs use different methods of
screening appropriate to the crops on which they work, and keeping in view their target
drought environment. This workshop focused on the methods used in different cereal
(including rice) and legume crops. The rationale for the use of various methods and
their advantages and disadvantages (if any) were discussed. Papers contributed by the
participants, either as ful l papers or only abstracts of their paper, are included in this
book. An overview and synthesis of the workshop and crop drought research in general
is presented in the final chapter of the book.","2002",,,,,,"International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics",,,"212",,,,,,,,,,,"9290664487",,,,,,,"",,"http://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?as_q=Field+Screening+for+Drought+Tolerance+in+Crop+Plants+with+Emphasis+on+Rice+Proceedings+of+an+International+Workshop+on+Field+Screening+for+Drought+Tolerance+in+Rice+11-14+Dec+2000&num=10&btnG=Search+Scholar&as_epq=","author",,"","",,,,,,"",,,,,,,"",,,,,"",,,,,"","",,,,,"","",,,,,
