Rice is one of Liberia's most significant grain crops, mostly for human use. Rice comprises around 25% of the cultivated land in Liberia during the agricultural season, which has a significant economic impact. Our recommendations include increasing productivity per unit area by optimizing yield potential per unit area, generating new varieties with high yielding ability and resilience to biotic and abiotic stressors, enhancing cultural techniques, and updating the package of recommendations. Furthermore, by implementing different systems, such as ICM and IPM, and transferring new rice cultivation technology to farmer's fields. The main objectives of our guide are to increase national rice production by transferring research recommendations and new technology to rice farmers, to identify problems and suggest appropriate solutions in rice fields, to evaluate and disseminate research information, and to update the package of recommendations to rice farmers. To summarize, teach the new rice production technology to extension personnel and farmers.
