IPB 3S and 4S, the New Rice Varieties

for National Food Security Program

Rice is the most important food crop grown in

Indonesia. It is the main staple food for most the

population. National self-sufficiency in the main

staple food, such as rice, corn, and soybean,

becomes one of the core objectives of agricultural

and economic policy in order to increase domestic

production and to fulfill domestic consumption.

Innovation plays important role to meet these

objectives. One of the innovations to support rice

self-sufficiency program is breeding the new

varieties with high productivity.

The new varieties or the new plant types

(NPT's), named as IPB 3S and 4S, were

developed by experienced breeders of Bogor

Agricultural University (IPB), led by Dr. Hajrial

Aswidinnoor. The innovation comprise of two

components, i.e. improved rice seedling and

implementation of best practices in cultivation

with the increase of organic materials for

improving soil fertility. The average yield of rice

planted on 500 ha rice field was 8.5 ton/ha,

much higher than the average national

productivity of 5.5 ton/ha. This innovation

potentially support the establishment of food

security in Indonesia in the near future.
