Subject: These proceedings represent the result of five years collaboration between scientists in Australia, Thailand and the Lao People's Democratic Republic on this ACIAR-funded project. The project aims to improve the efficiency of breeding programs under the rainfed lowland conditions in Thailand and Lao PDR. To achieve this aim, breeding strategies are being developed that take account of the water stresses imposed by prevailing soil and climate conditions in the area. Modifications of this difficult environment have been attempted through agronomic management, such as direct seeding and fertiliser application. Strategies are being developed that also take account of longer-term breeding objectives, such as grain quality, disease resistance and sustainability. The project complements existing Thai and Lao national breeding programs and other collaborative projects.
