Objectives

1. Maximizing the yield potential per unit area with highest water use efficiency.
2. Maintaining the high rice yield through development of new cultivars tailored with high yielding ability and resistance to biotic and a biotic stresses.
3. Deployment of new technologies “Hybrid rice, and Biotechnology aspects”.
4. Increasing yield potential under saline soils.
5. Updating the recommendation packages to over come existing problems during rice growing seasons.
6. Transferring rice cultivation technology to farmers’ fields.
7. Increasing the certified seeds covering area at the national level.
8. Continue training for young scientists, especially in the new areas of research.
