Rainfed planting is a traditional planting method for crops. Based on our prediction from rainfall pattern, grain corn yield potential under a small experimental plot would exceed 6 t/ha without installing an irrigation system. In Malaysia, high rainfall intensity during the monsoon season is advantageous for the cultivation of grain corn without an irrigation system. Good cultural practice and proper water management system design would allow grain yield to the potential level.
