Abstract

For large areas of Asia, the rapid growth of agricultural productivity associated with the introduction of semi-dwarf wheat and rice varieties of the so-called green revolution has entered a new phase. Most farmers in these areas now use modern varieties and moderate to high doses of fertilizer, and productivity increases from these two sources have slowed. Improvements in other crop management practices and in cropping intensity play an increasing role in maintaining productivity growth and exploiting the genetic potential of existing varieties.
