| 520 | # | # | |a The book highlights the predominant focus on wet rice cultivation in Peninsular Malaysia's agricultural research, with little attention given to dry rice cultivation despite its existence among a small segment of farmers. The emphasis on irrigated wet rice technologies has overshadowed dry rice cultivation, leading to a lack of improvement efforts in this area. Over the past two decades, agricultural development strategies have mainly promoted new agricultural production technologies, particularly for irrigated conditions, neglecting dry rice varieties. Water scarcity poses a significant challenge, exacerbated by industrialization, urbanization, and deforestation, impacting irrigation development and exacerbating issues in water management for rice production. Amid increasing uncertainties, the paper advocates for alternative research directions and policy formulations, emphasizing the need to understand the historical neglect of dry rice cultivation and recognizing the potential for its development through tailored technologies and research efforts. |
