Abstract


Before dealing with the subject of Rice Improvement in the Tanjore-delta, I propose to give briefly the salient points relating to work on crop-improvement in general. It is a commonly recognised fact that the agricultural prosperity of a country dependent upon the magnitude of its crop-production. The growing of better crops, the reaping of heavier harvests, and the realisation of better returns, are objects that are ardently desired by all agriculturists. There are over a million acres under rice culti-vation in the Tanjore delta area and if it should be possible to increase the output of rice from this area, it would undoubtedly be a material contribution to the welfare of the country. A re-cognition of the following facts is a necessary preliminary to work on increasing the productivity of any crop.
