Saveer - Model RRB -Research Greenhouse - Rice

The erratic floods experienced in rain-fed and floodaffected areas are usually caused by heavy rainfall, overflow of nearby rivers and canals or sometimes tidal movements as in coastal areas. These floods cause serious problems for rice and other crops and in some cases, the topography of the land prevents fast water movement to drain flooded fields. Flooding is therefore considered a major challenge for rice production in South and Southeast Asia, where the majority of the world’s rice farmers live.

The RRB Greenhouse can also be constructed on roof top of buildings/Labs in places of land scarcity or the fields being too far off. With the technology available now Saveer has made it possible to haveroof top greenhouses which are more environmentally friendly and very easy for the researcher to access the facility from his laboratory for efficient monitoring of the research projects.

This greenhouse can beaccessedfromany place with internet facilities to monitor different parameters and even a researcher can change them without actually visiting the greenhouse.

RRB Greenhouse for Rice is ideal for studies on:

• Studies on rice varieties
• Research on effect of different abiotic and biotic factors
• Submergence related studies
• Genetic diversity
• Rice and climate change research
• Rice Straw studies
• Stress-Tolerant Rice
• Converting the photosynthetic system
• Production of parent seed stocks
• Foundation seed stock increase
• Fastening the life cycle
• Time scale isolation
