Rice plant population and nutrient management is the key for higher productivity. In due course of my PhD work on a neglected red rice crop which is grown by tribal’s peoples of bastar plateau since time immemorial. Very few literatures are available on package and practices of red rice. I had gone through several research papers concern with plant geometry and nutrient management in rice crop. In climate change era the land races of rice are capable to mitigate the effect of changing environment, when the frequency and intensity of rainfall is unpredictable. The landraces maintained by farmers are endowed with tremendous genetic variability, as they are not subjected to subtle selection over a long period of time. While most high yielding varieties in Asia are colorless with long and slender grains, local rice varieties often exhibit tremendous morphological diversity. This aids in the adaptation of landraces to wide agro-ecological conditions. This rich variability of complex quantitative traits still remains unexploited. Land-races are also important genetic resources for resistance to pests and diseases; they provide “adaptability genes” for specific environmental conditions.
