Summary, Etc.Lock lodging, a modified rice ratooning technique could be an important alternative to the conventional transplanted rice production system. Lock-lodging is done by manually braiding the rice stubbles after harvest so that they would remain flat on the ground. The purpose of such an operation is to encourage tiller production at the basal nodes so tillers can rootdown resulting to vigorous rice plants with uniform maturity. Lock-lodging overcame the problems of asynchronous tiller-initiation, flowering, grain filling and maturity in conventional rice ratooning. Field demonstration trials in the provinces of Pampanga and Tarlac showed that it was agronomically feasible and economically viable. Yields obtained were slightly lower than the yields of the main crops, 3.10 vs 3.25 t/ha in Pampanga and 4.60 vs 5.10 t/ha in Tarlac, under the same level of management. However, these slightly lower yields were more than compensated by the reduction in production costs from savings in seeds, seedbed management, land preparation and irrigation water. Lock-lodging however, is still far from being a perfect technology. Further research is needed to identify varieties which could be lock-lodged successfully and risks associated with this ratooning technique must also be evaluated
