Wet seeded rice (WSR) and transplanted rice (TPR) production systems have been evaluated for water use efficiency, tolerance for drought, yield, and economic return. The bases of comparison were the results from several field experiments and farmer surveys conducted in the service area of the Upper Pampanga River Integrated Irrigation System (UPRIIS), where WSR is becoming increasingly popular and replacing TPR. Wet seeded rice was superior to TPR in all respects. These results have major implications for future research and development programs. Constraints to wider adoption of WSR and research issues for the future have been identified and discussed.
