The main environmental factors affecting rice production in Peninsular Malaysia are climate, physiography and soils which together have a combined effect on water conditions in the various rice areas. The environmental factors are distinctly different particularly in the east cost and west coast of Peninsular Malaysia. They impose marked variation in land use pattern, farming systems and rice production levels. Since 1976, the rice agronomy programme has theen geared to study the environment to understand and to explain the crop performance under various environmental conditions. The main areas of work are on soil, water plant and agro-meteorological relationships, soil fertility programme, cultural practices and yield constraints studies at farm level. It is necessary to correlate crop production levels to the environmental factors of the various rice areas so that technologies developed can the more easily adopted at farm level
