Natural Hazards Induced Salt-affected Soils for Rice Production in Myanmar Soe Soe Thein Myanmar is exposed in nature to natural hazards such as cyclone, drought, earthquake, fire, flood, landslide and storm surge. This paper emphasized on inland salinity problem due to drought in Central Dry Zone (CDZ) area and flood related seawater salt intrusion in Ayeyarwady Delta. To grow double rice crop in brackish and salt water intrusion area of Ayeyarwady, selection of short life varieties, irrigation according to the lunar calendar, balanced fertilizer application are three main points essential for success rice growing in this area. IR 84649-308- 24-1-B, IR 10T-107, CSR36, and IR 846495-305-6-1-B are, so far, promising salt tolerant rice varieties for inland salinity areas and coastal and delta areas. According to experimental results, application of cow dung manure at the rate of 5 ton ha-1 was the best for non-saline, slightly sodic soil (S2) of Pale Township, Sagaing Region, CDZ and application of gypsum at the rate of 2 ton ha-1 was the appropriate amendment for slightly saline, highly sodic soil (S3) of Shwebo township, Sagaing Region, CDZ. 2015-12 http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12678/0000000246 https://meral.edu.mm/records/246
