Evaluation of the Aerobic Rice technology: three years of experiments in the Philippines

In 2005 an overview was made of the field experiments that were conducted by the Water Science Group. This was done by an MSc student Matthijs Bouwknegt to get some preliminary ideas about the performance of aerobic rice under experimental conditions. Not all experiments were completed by then. The year 2005 has marked the end of a series of experiments conducted by the Water Science Group at IRRI. Most of these experiments were conducted for a second season. Thus the results of these experiments will help drawing conclusions. Some of the experiments have been taken over by other departments within IRRI. For this reason, they have not been included in this thesis.
