Description Rice is the most important staple food crop in Asia, where about 90% of the world's rice
production is located. Rice covers 81 m ha in South and Southeast Asia, where approximately
30% of the cropped land is irrigated and double-cropped throughout the year. With
the increase in population and a continuous decline in the average farm size (0.5-2.0 ha),
there is a growing need to put the existing land base to better use. The prevailing practice
of monocropping rice and then leaving the fields fallow after the harvest, could prove
disastrous because of its inability to meet the increasing demand for rice and grain
legumes.
