The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Advances in Drought Resistance of Rice (2009, background): “In addition, drought stress hampers plant water relations and disrupts membrane function (Farooq et al., 2008, 2009b–f).”
Aerobic Rice Systems (2011, background): “5 t/ha, which is about the double or treble of that obtained with traditional upland rainfed varieties and 20–30% lesser than that obtained with lowland varieties grown under flooded conditions (Farooq et al., 2009).”
Yield gap analysis of field crops: Methods and case studies (2015, background): “Water-regime driven trade-off between rice yield and water productivity Bouman et al. (2006) and Farooq et al. (2009) reviewed the water productivity of rice, of which about 90% is produced in irrigated or rain-fed lowland fields (“paddies”).”
Weed management improves yield and quality of direct seeded rice (2011, background): “In the backdrop of the declining water resources and reduced availability of the labor, the conventionally flooded rice system is losing its sustainability and economic viability (Guerra et al. 1998; Bhushan et al. 2007).”
