Drought is the most severe hazard amplified by climate change, since it causes scarcity of food and drinking water for human and cattle, changing cropping patterns, declining crop yield and losses in their livelihoods. This study aimed to investigate the changes of rice production system between 2000 and 2018 in Meiktila Township. This study was conducted in four village tracts of Meiktila Township during June-September, 2018. A total of 160 respondents were selected by using purposive random sampling method. The primary data were demographic factors and changes of cultural practices in rice production and secondary data were 10 years trends of the climate data, rice sown area and rice production. According to water uncertainty, total farm size and rice growing areas of respondents were decreased between 2000 and 2018 and number of small holders was increased in the study area. But some respondents changed to practice double crop (rice-rice) from mono rice crop due to availability of irrigation water in some areas starting from 2015. Most of the respondents changed to practice intermittent irrigation from permanent flooding in 2018. Almost all of the respondents usually practiced transplanting method between 2000 and 2018. In 2000, the respondents used animal drawn implements for land preparation, manual harvesting and threshing in wet season. In 2018, traditional and manual operations were changed to mechanization because of availability, time saving and efficiency of farm machines. The respondents used more hired labours than family labours in rice establishment, weeding and harvesting. Non-farm incomes of respondents were increased in 2000 and 2018. According to extension activities, changing of traditional varieties to certified improved varieties and more use of N, P, K fertilizers (71.7 N kg per ha, 5.6 P kg per ha, 8.3 K kg per ha) were found in 2018. Under these circumstances, Rice yield was increased to 3.3 ton per ha in 2018 from 2.3.ton per ha (2000) in the study area. Similar trend was also observed in dry season rice. In the study area, water was the most limiting factor for improvement in rice productivity and the other factor is fertilizer application; Nowadays, cultural practices of respondents were changed to new practices however nearly half of the respondents did not change. Therefore, based on this study, policy makers and all stakeholders involved in rice value chain should be taken into consideration of some recommendations for improving rice production systems in central dry zone."}]},"item_1583103108160":{"attribute_name":"Keywords"},"item_1583103120197":{"attribute_name":"Files","attribute_type":"file","attribute_value_mlt":[{"accessrole":"open_access","date":[{"dateType":"Available","dateValue":"2020-05-05"}],"displaytype":"preview","filename":"Ohnmar Minn Khin(AGY-166) Thesis.pdf","filesize":[{"value":"1630 Kb"}],"format":"application/pdf","licensetype":"license_note","mimetype":"application/pdf","url":{"url":"https://meral.edu.mm/record/224/files/Ohnmar Minn Khin(AGY-166) Thesis.pdf"},"version_id":"4f7ea84a-def8-4339-a0cc-cae2726de127"}]},"item_1583103131163":{"attribute_name":"Journal articles","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_journal_title":"Yezin Agricultural University"}]},"item_1583103147082":{"attribute_name":"Conference papaers","attribute_value_mlt":[{}]},"item_1583103211336":{"attribute_name":"Books/reports/chapters","attribute_value_mlt":[{}]},"item_1583103233624":{"attribute_name":"Thesis/dissertations","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_supervisor(s)":[]}]},"item_1583105942107":{"attribute_name":"Authors","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_authors":[{"subitem_authors_fullname":"OHNMAR MINN KHIN"}]}]},"item_1583108359239":{"attribute_name":"Upload type","attribute_value_mlt":[{"interim":"Publication"}]},"item_1583108428133":{"attribute_name":"Publication type","attribute_value_mlt":[{"interim":"Thesis"}]},"item_1583159729339":{"attribute_name":"Publication date","attribute_value":"2019-10"},"item_1583159847033":{"attribute_name":"Identifier","attribute_value":"https://yauor-yau.archive.knowledgearc.net/handle/123456789/144"},"item_title":"CHANGES OF RICE PRODUCTION SYSTEM IN CENTRAL DRY ZONE OF MYANMAR: A CASE STUDY IN MEIKTILA TOWNSHIP","item_type_id":"21","owner":"1","path":["1582969027121"],"publish_date":"2020-03-05","publish_status":"0","recid":"224","relation_version_is_last":true,"title":["CHANGES OF RICE PRODUCTION SYSTEM IN CENTRAL DRY ZONE OF MYANMAR: A CASE STUDY IN MEIKTILA TOWNSHIP"],"weko_creator_id":"1","weko_shared_id":-1},"updated":"2021-12-13T00:31:00.997253+00:00"}
