"In the lower Ayeyarwaddy Delta of Myanmar, rice farmers experience floods in the monsoon and salt intrusion during the dry season. New high-yielding, short-duration varieties are usually not available, and so farmers have limited options to combat flooding or saline intrusion. The International Rice Research Institute, through the Livelihood and Food Security Trust Fund Project of the United Nations Office for Project Services, has introduced farmers' participatory varietal selection (PVS) of high-yielding varieties for favorable areas and stress-tolerant varieties for the salt- and flood-prone areas. This video showcases the PVS steps as done by farmers in Labutta Township, Myanmar. Some farmers share their experiences and benefits gained from joining the PVS trials. The video also features the top four selected varieties in the three townships involved in the project in the 2012 and 2013 wet seasons, and the 2012-13 dry season."
