Flood-tolerant rice reduces yield variability and raises expected yield, differentially benefitting socially disadvantaged groups
Approximately 30% of the cultivated rice area in India is prone to crop damage from prolonged flooding. We use a randomized field experiment in 128 villages of Orissa India to show that Swarna-Sub1, a recently released submergence-tolerant rice variety, has significant positive impacts on rice yield...
