iv Frontline Demonstrations on Rice (2017-18) I. INTRODUCTION
Rice is the most important crop in India, and plays a critical role in food security. It is a choice crop of the millions of poor and small farmers not only for income but also for household food security. India has the largest area under rice worldwide with 42.5 million hectares and a production that comes second only behind China in total rice production. The current productivity is still much lower and needs to be increased within the limits of the scope for expanding the area or irrigation coverage. In view of the stagnating food grain production and an increasing consumption need of the growing population, Government of India has launched the Centrally Sponsored Scheme, ‘National Food Security Mission’ (NFSM) in August 2007. The major objective of this scheme is to increase production and productivity of rice, wheat and pulses on a sustainable basis so as to ensure food security of the country. The approach is to bridge the yield gap through dissemination of improved technologies and farm management practices. The Frontline Demonstrations (FLDs) for Rice are an approved component of the National Food Security Mission to augment production of food grains in the country and are conducted by the ICAR/ SAUs system. The ICAR-Indian Institute of Rice Research, Hyderabad, is the nodal Institution for organizing the FLDs on rice. Frontline Demonstration is a form of applied research through ICAR/SAUs system on latest noti ied/released varieties along with full package of practices on selected farmers’ ields with a view to demonstrate the potentiality of the technologies to (a) participating farmers (b) neighbouring farmers and other agencies; (c) to analyze the production (d) performance of the technologies for scienti ic feedback. Objectives of FLD Program • To demonstrate improved Crop Production Technologies of Rice on the farmers’ ields; • To popularize the newly noti ied and improved varieties/technologies for varietal diversi ication and ef icient management of resources. • To bring synergy among planners, researchers, farmers and industry for parable interface through seminars/symposium on emerging themes of importance in the ield of Rice production for deciding strategies for development of these crops. Funding Pattern Frontline Demonstrations on the basis of above guidelines are conducted in different Eco-system through Crop Directorate/Coordinating Unit of Indian Council of Agricultural Research/State Agricultural Universities in the potential areas of the country. The funds for the demonstrations so organized by the ICAR/SAUs are provided by the Government of India from the funds available in National Food Security Mission. For such demonstrations, funds are provided directly to the concerned Director and the pattern of assistance is Rs.7500 for Rice per demonstration of one hectare or actual of the cost, whichever is less. The detailed item-wise break-up of the expenditure for organizing a Frontline Demonstration on one hectare of rice is given as under:

2 Frontline Demonstrations on Rice (2017-18) II TECHNICAL PROGRAMME - FRONTLINE DEMONSTRATIONS ON RICE 2017-18
During 52nd Annual Rice Group Meeting held at AAU, Jorhat a special session was or- ganized for formulating a strategy for implementation of FLDs during ensuing season. The session was chaired by Dr. H.C. Bhattacharya, Director (Extension) I/C, AAU. The results of FLDs conducted during 2016-17 were presented by Dr. Shaik N.Meera, Principal Scientist and Coordinator, FLD programme along with the general guidelines for ef- fectively conducting FLDs. In his presentation Dr. Meera, has categorically mentioned that the FLDs program should address the problems faced by the rice farmers and how best their new technologies could it into the local contexts. He made it clear that under the critical compo- nents no chemical fertilizer is allowed to purchased and distributed. He suggested the scien- tists to identify the problems irst and organize an orientation training to the clientele farm- ers. Under FLDs preference should be given to the marginalized sections and women farmers. Well designed ield board is a pre-requisite for the FLDs and it should explain everything about the FLD in a lucid manner. He also requested to reward the progressive farmers who have contributed immensely for the success of FLDs. Good reports with success stories and good photographs are the essentials components of FLDs. According to him, an ideal FLD report should contain the impact of technology, constraints faced by the farmers and feedback to the scientist who developed the technology for further re inement. In order to formulate the plan for FLDs to be organized during 2017-18, indent forms along with Annexures –I, II, III, IV and V were distributed to the cooperators and the indents for proposed FLDs were collected. It was emphasized that whole package of practices are to be demonstrated in the farmers’ ields apart from the FLD variety/ hybrid/ technologies allotted. A committee was constituted to critically analyze the indents submitted by the cooper- ators and a tentative program for FLDs for the year 2017-18 was chalked out. As decided in the review meeting, more than 5% of the Rice FLDs were being proposed for the North East Region. As per the advice from the Ministry, more emphasis is given for organizing the FLDs in eastern and North-eastern hill regions. Critical care was taken to include the demonstrations on varieties, hybrids along with management practices, conservation technologies, labour sav- ing/ input saving technologies etc., In the year 2017-18, overall 2000 FLDs were planned with varieties, hybrids and thrust areas like pest and disease management, farmer friendly machineries, drudgery reduction etc covering 6 major rice ecosystems and 23 states of the country. A cafeteria of new and innovative technologies is proposed to be demonstrated in the farmers’ ields. Care was taken to consider only recently released varieties and hybrids for demonstration. Instead of focusing on only varietal demonstrations, cooperators were en- couraged to organize the FLDs on other technologies also. The proceedings were sent to the Ministry for Administrative approval. The Ministry conveyed revised administrative approval for organizing 1000 FLDs vide letter F. No CPS 18-3/2017-NFSM dated 30th June 2017 against their earlier approval for 800 FLDs. Accordingly the total number of FLDs re-allotted for each centre and the administra- tive approval was conveyed to cooperating centres vide letter (email as well) no. PD/TTT/ FLD/2017-18 dated 15 July 2017. Based on the con irmations of list of farmers, the following technical program was inalized for the year.

27 Frontline Demonstrations on Rice (2017-18) III STATE-WISE DETAILS OF FLDs CONDUCTED Andhra Pradesh In Andhra Pradesh, rice is grown in all the districts. It is evident that the productivity of undivided state has gone up considerably due to adoption of high yielding varieties and improved package of practices. About 64% rice growing districts in the state are having high productivity status. If the impact is made in low productivity areas of Andhra Pradesh, the production can be increased vertically without expansion of area under rice.

Andhra Pradesh Rice Research Institute & Regional Agricultural Research Station, Marute- ru, West Godavari district demonstrated the lood tolerant variety Bheema (MTU 1140) that tolerates three types of loods viz. lash loods for 10 days at vegetative stage, stagnant looding and submergence during germination for 2 weeks with non lodging trait. The demonstration undertaken in Ramanapalem, Mogulthur Mandal, West Godavari had yield advantage of 33% wheras it was 30% in the Luthukur, Mamidikudur Mandal, East Godavari . This varietal tech- nology is suitable for direct seeded conditions as it possess 2 weeks anaerobic germination (80% plant survival) and is being suggested for wider cultivation during kharif season in place of PLA1100 (Badava mahsuri), MTU 1064 (Amara) and Swrnasub1. In the changing climatic conditions, such varieties would best address the problems like submergence or drought etc.

33 Frontline Demonstrations on Rice (2017-18) Bihar In Bihar rice is cultivated in an area of 32.23 lakh ha with a productivity of 2.158 t/ha the annual rice production is 72.01 lakh tons. There are three distinct rice-growing seasons, summer (garma) (March to early July), kharif (aus, autumn, and agahani) (May-June to Octo- ber-December), and spring (boro) (October-November to May). Spring and summer rice are transplanted and grown under irrigated conditions. These rice crops are relatively productive though they occupy only 0.2 and 0.07 million ha, respectively. Majority of the rice area is cultivated in the kharif season on lands with varying topose- quences—upland, medium land, lowland, and deepwater and lood-prone areas (dhab, diara, and tal land) by direct seeding or transplanting under rainfed as well as irrigated conditions. The frontline Demonstration on rice variety CR Dhan 909 was conducted by ICAR-Re- search Complex for Eastern Region, Patna at 68 bene iciary farmers’ ield in 30.25 hectares of land in Madhubani and East Champaran districts of Bihar. An average yield of 5.15 t/ha was obtained in FLD plots. In addition to this the seed of CR Dhan 909 was also distributed among 18 farmers in the Buxar district of Bihar. The demonstration was conducted in 6.4 ha with the help of KVK Buxar, Bihar. The average grain yield of 5.35 t/ha was obtained in Buxar district of Bihar.

35 Frontline Demonstrations on Rice (2017-18) Chhattisgarh In Chhattisgarh, rice is cultivated in an area of 3.7 million ha with a productivity of 2.20 t/ha. Since the productivity gaps exist across the state, there is a need to popularize the vari- eties that give potential yield advantages. The state comprises of three agro-ecological zones i.e. Chhattisgarh plain, Bastar plateau and northern hill region of Surguja. These zones have huge variations in terms of soil topography, rainfall intensity and distribution, irrigation and adoption of agricultural production system and thus vary in the productivity of rice in these regions. Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, IGKV Raipur conducted 6 FLDs to showcase the relative advantage of Chhattisgarh Sugandhitbhog and Indira Aerobic 1. The FLDs were conducted in two districts namely, Raipur and Durg. In the demonstrated locations, both the varietied recorded 16.59 and 20.91 % of yield advantage respectively.

Chhattisgarh Sugandhitbhog 1, Dubraj Selection 1, Tarunbhog Selection 1 are the improved scented rice varieties for transplanted condition and Indira Barani dhan is suited for the rainfed ecology of the state. These varieties were demonstrated with an objective to replace the long existing
36 Frontline Demonstrations on Rice (2017-18) popular varieties. A total of 10 farmers conducted FLD programme by following the recom- mended package of practices for rice cultivation and crop protection. The progressive women farmer group of Chaparbhanpuri and Kondalur villages actively executed the FLDs on their ield. It is expected that large scale popularization of these varieties will help boosting income levels of farmers as well as production scenario of the state. Farmers were happy about the rel- atively early maturing nature of Chhattisgarh Suganhdhitbhog 1 (matures 10-15 days earlier to other scented varieties).

39 Frontline Demonstrations on Rice (2017-18) Gujarat In Gujarat, rice is cultivated in about 7 lakhs hectares. The distribution pattern of the area under rice and production potentiality of the crop in different agro-ecological situations apparently governed by the onset and withdrawal of monsoon, the distribution of rainfall and the extent of irrigation facility available. The area under rainfed condition is about 40 per cent and the rice productivity of Gujarat is about 1.8 tonnes per hectares. The scenario of rice in Gujarat comprises of nearly 60-65 % of low land (transplanted) and 35-40 % of upland (drilled) rice. The average productivity of low land (transplanted) rice is 2200 to 2300 kg/ha while of the upland (drilled) rice, it is merely 700 to 900 kg/ha. The overall low productivity is mainly due to the fact that about 40 per cent of the area under rice is upland with a productivity of 0.7 to 0.9 tonnes/ha. The area under irrigated rice increased with the enhancement of irrigation facilities after 1992-93. Gujarat is having unique distinction of possessing longest coastline of 1600 km. Of which, South Gujarat constitute about 200 km of coastline, where paddy cultivation is in vogue. In general, the coastal soils are salt affected and are classi ied into Typic Halaquepts belong- ing to Dandi and Onjal I series. In South Gujarat alone, coastal and inland salt affected soils occupy about 70,000 ha area. As a result of concerted research efforts, SLR-51214 during 1982 and subsequently Dandi variety during 2000 were released through the process of introduc- tion and evaluation as salt tolerant coarse grain varieties. In Gujarat, farmers are growing ine grain varieties GR-4 and GR-11, which are most popular among the farmers and consumers due to grain quality. The ine grain rice variety GNR-2 performed very well in the coastal salt affected soils of South Gujarat and released in the year 2009.

Main Rice Research Centre, Soil & Water Management Research Unit, Navsari Agricultural University conducted 20 FLDs. Gurjari is the most popular rice variety in low land. Because of its suitability for pohuva (beaten rice) preparation, it fetches higher price in south Gujarat. South Gujarat in general and Navsari in particular has more number of pohuva mills. From Navsari alone 500 tones of pohuva is being produced and transported daily to other parts of the country. In view of superior quality of pohuva being produced in Navsari area, it fetches premium price in national market. Because of suitability of Gurjari for pohuva making, its de- mand is tremendous and there are ample chances to increase the demand for Gurjari type rice variety. So, the new variety GNR-3 was released in the year 2011. Similary, very few quality varieties are available for rainfed drilled rice. Majority of re- leased varieties in the state are coarse. Therefore, suitable high yielding, quality upland drilled rice varieties are essential to ful ill the requirements of the marginal farmers of South Gujarat. The new variety Purna was released in the year 2014 to it into this requirement. Also, Hybrid rice is practically feasible and readily adoptable genetic option to increase the rice production. The long slender grain rice hybrid GNRH-1 performed very well in Gujarat and released in the year 2015. These three varieties viz., GNR-2, GNR-3 and Purna and one hybrid GNRH-1 were demon- strated in Front line demonstrations in South Gujarat in kharif, 2017. Demonstrations of GNR- 2, GNR-3, Purna and GNRH-1 were conducted in an area of 5.0 ha, 7.70 ha, 2.5 ha and 4.80 ha, respectively along with bio-fertilizers Azospirilum + PSB (108 CFU/ml, 1.25 lit/ha). The rice varieties viz., GNR-2, GNR-3, Purna and hybrid GNRH-1 performed very well in South Gujarat where it exhibited overall 21.2%, 10.4%, 35.8 % and 10.5 % grain yield superiority over re- spective checks in front line demonstrations. Farmers opined that GNR-3 was best quited for beaten rice purpose. They were happy about the substantial market price of GNR-3 and Purna. Incidentally, both varieties were non-lodging. Main Rice Research Station, A.A.U., Nawagam organized 10 FLDs on Mahisagar variety in Kheda, Ahmedabad, Mahesana, Mahisagar, Valsad districts of Gujarat. Across the locations, Mahisagar gave more than 11% of yield advantage when compared to the local check variet- ies.

43 Frontline Demonstrations on Rice (2017-18) Himachal Pradesh In Himachal Pradesh rice is cultivated in area of 0.74 lakh hectares with a productivity of 1.763 t/ha and annual rice production of 1.30 lakh tons. Rice is cultivated in ten of the twelve districts of the State except Kinnaur and Lahaul- Spiti. Kangra & Mandi districts account for more than two third of rice acreage and production in the state. There is great diversity under which rice is cultivated ranging from foot-hills (350 m) to high hills (upto 2000 m). Rice is cultivated by four different methods i. e. dry seeding (rainfed upland), wattar sow- ing (sowing with the receipt of pre monsoon rainfall and interculture at the advent of mon- soon at about one month after sowing), wet seeding (sowing pre sprouted seeds in puddle ield) and transplanted method. Different rice varieties have been recommended for rainfed and irrigated ecologies. In mid hill conditions, low temperature in the month of September limits the crop duration. The state on an average receives 1251 mm rainfall of which two third occurs from June to September. Delay in the onset of monsoon may delay the rice sowing/ transplanting. Only one crop of rice is grown in the state during wet season from May to October. The direct seeding and nursery sowing starts by the end of May and continues up to about 15th June. However in Kullu valley and other higher hills of Shimla, Mandi and Chamba districts of the state, the nursery sowing starts as early as mid-April. The transplanting starts around 20th June depending on the onset of monsoon and availability of irrigation water in the area and continues up to mid of July. Rice and Wheat Research Centre, Malan of CSK Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidyalaya conducted 10 FLDs on four rice varieties HPR 2612, HPR 2720 (Red rice), HPR 2880 and HPR 2143 with complete package of practice, in four clusters of Rait, Dharamshala, Bhawarna and Nagrota Bhagwan blocks of Kangra district which is in the select list of NFSM (National Food Security Mission). The demonstrations were conducted on twenty ive farmers’ ields as the land holding is less. Four varieties for rainfed and irrigated ecologies with complete package of practice were demonstrated. HPR 2720 is a high yielding blast resistant red rice variety rec- ommended for irrigated ecology in area with 650 to 1500 m altitude. The variety has more of iron and zinc content and has medicinal properties. It fetches more prices in the market. HPR 2656 has been recommended for rainfed upland conditions of low and mid hill conditions of the state. HPR 2143 is suitable where hailstorm is a frequent problem as this variety is dif icult to thresh and hence less prone to shattering loss. HPR 2880 is a high yielding blast resistant variety recommended for cultivation in low and mid hills. The varieties demonstrated, performed well and farmers were satis ied with the produc- tivity and pro itability. The yield advantage over the checks varied from 15.4 to 46.9 per cent. The red rice variety HPR 2720 recorded yield advantage of 0.8 t/ha over the local checks and farmers were happy to accept and increase area under this variety as it is more nutritive and fetches higher price. Compared to commonly grown variety RP 2421, new variety HPR 2880
44 Frontline Demonstrations on Rice (2017-18) recorded yield advantage of 19.3 per cent and was found suitable for increasing the rice pro- duction and productivity in the district. Farmers were happy to put more and more area under this variety under irrigated conditions. For upland area which forms a signi icant share in rice production of the state, HPR 2656 attracted the intention of the farmers as its productivity is more as well as it gives more of straw yield which is fed as dry fodder to the animals in the hill farming. Hence, these new varieties will pay a pivotal role in the state to increase the rice grain production in the state vis a vis to double the farmers’ income by 2022.

48 Frontline Demonstrations on Rice (2017-18) Jammu & Kashmir In Jammu & Kashmir rice is cultivated in an area of 2.62 lakh ha with a productivity of 2.078 t/ha the annual rice production is 5.45 lakh tons. The state is rich in rice culture from the ancient times and a number of landraces and traditional rice varieties grown earlier have been phased out by the cultivation of high yielding varieties (HYV). Chatha College, Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology of Jammu conducted demonstrations on Direct Seeded Conditions with Basmati-370 and vari- etal demonstration on Basmati-564. Basmati 370 was demonstrated under DSR method in RS Pura district in Jammu region. The DSR demonstrated plot recorded 2.93 t/ha with yield advantage of 4.6% over normal planting. Basmati-564 gave yield advantage of 13.11 % over the Basmati 370. In Kashmir, 20 FLDs were organized by Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Science and Technology of Kashmir. Totally 50 farmers bene itted demonstrating the Shalimar Rice 4 (SKAU 408) for lower altitudes of Valley upto 1600 m amsl and Shalimar Rice 5 (SKAU 402) for high altitudes of Valley beyond 1800 m amsl

52 Frontline Demonstrations on Rice (2017-18) Jharkhand Jharkhand has been divided into 3 Agro-climatic sub zones viz., Central and north eastern plateau sub zone (zone IV), Western plateau sub zone (zone V) and Southeastern plateau sub zone (zone VI). More than 50% of total area under rice in the State is concentrated in very low productivity group. High and medium productivity groups do not exist in the State. Average productivity of the State is 1,021 kg/ha which is very much below the national average. There is a need for popularizing new varieties and technologies for wider acceptability among the farmers and large scale adoption for enhancing the productivity and production in the state. One method of achieving this is by organizing series of demonstrations on latest technologies. Realizing this fact, every year, FLDs are being organized on a cafeteria of new technologies in the state. Central Rainfed Upland Rice Research Station (CRURRS - NRRI), Hazaribagh conducted 20 FLDs on Sahbhagidhan and DRR Dhan 42 (IR 64 Drt 1) involving 44 farmers from Masip- irhi, Chichikala, Dasokhap, Bongadag, Babhanbhai and Digwar. Sahabhagidhan recorded an average yield of 3.73 t/ha with an yield advantage of 24.33% over local variety. In case of DRR Dhan 42, it was 22% more yield. Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK), Koderma under the aegis of CRURRS, Hazaribag (NRRI) car- ried out 5 FLDs on DSR with Sahbhagidhan. While DSR condition yielded 30% more yield com- pared to normal transplanting, the former method also had other advantages such as reduced cost of cultivation. Demonstration of DRR Dhan 42 variety of paddy was conducted by ICAR-Indian Insti- tute of Agricultural Biotechnology, Ranchi in 87 bene iciary farmers’ ield including 25 women farmers in 30 hectares. These demonstrations were laid in Lalkhatanga, Garhkhatanga, Koch- bang and Kharsidag villages of Tehsil-Namkum, District.-Ranchi. Direct seeding of rice was done in upland condition. An average yield of 3.31 t/ha was obtained in FLD plots. Farmers were happy and expressed satisfaction over performance of demonstrated variety of paddy.

Direct Seeded Rice in Jharkhand Rice is the most important cereal crop in Jharkhand and is a staple food for more than half of the population. Conventional rice production systems (puddle transplanting) require large quantities of water. On average, 2500L of water are applied, ranging from 800 to more than 5000 L, to produce 1 kg of rough rice. The seasonal water input to rice ields is the combination of water used in land prepa- ration and to compensate for evaporation, transpiration, seepage, and percolation losses during crop growth. Moreover, nearly 86% of agriculture practices in kharif season in Jharkhand is depend upon rainfall and the maximum part this forcibly faced the challenge of unavailability of rainfall during south west monsoon. Unfortunately aberrant weather is a common feature in Jharkhand state agri- culture from last one decade (minimum rainfall received 860 mm during kharif season whereas the normal rainfall recorded up to 1050 mm annually, data collected from state agriculture department, Koderma, Jharkhand). Transplanting after repeated puddling is the conventional method of rice (Ory- za sativa) growing which is not only intensive water user but also cumbersome and laborious. Dif- ferent problems like lowering water table, scarcity of labor during peak periods, deteriorating soil health demands some alternative establishment method to sustain productivity of rice as well as natural resources besides Direct seeded rice (DSR), probably the oldest method of crop establish- ment, is gaining popularity because of its low-input demand. It offers certain advantages viz., it saves labor, requires less water, less drudgery, early crop maturity, low production cost, better soil physical conditions for following crops and less methane emission, provides better option to be the best it in different cropping systems. Comparative yields in DSR can be obtained by adopting various cultural practices viz., selection of suitable cultivars, proper sowing time, optimum seed rate, proper weed and water management. During Kharif season of 2017-18 drought tolerance varieties Sahbhagidhan was sown with DSR technology and it was found better in comparison to Hybrid rice with transplant- ing ield condition. Due to erratic rainfall the transplanted rice did not survive and gave drastic yield reduction. The performance of dry direct seeded method of rice as compare with that of conventional puddle transplanted rice based on the following criteria: ¾ Grain yield. ¾ Irrigation water applied and water use ef iciency. ¾ Labor use. ¾ Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. ¾ Economics. ¾ Effect on succeeding crops.

55 Frontline Demonstrations on Rice (2017-18) Karnataka In Karnataka rice is grown under a variety of soils and wide range of rainfall and tempera- ture. Only around 44 per cent of the total acreage is under irrigation while the rest is under the regime of monsoon. Rice is cultivated in places where the rains are as heavy as 3000 mm and in others where it is just 600 mm. In some areas only one crop is grown and in certain other areas three crops are raised. In Karnataka rice is cultivated in an area of 14.16 lakh ha with a productivity of 2.897 t/ha the annual rice production is 40.38 lakh tons. The unique feature of rice culture in the state is that either sowing or transplanting is seen in all seasons of the year. The duration of the rice varieties cultivated in the state varies from 100 to 180 days depending on season and agro-climatic location. Zonal Agricultural Research Station (UAS, Bengaluru) organized 6 FLDs on Gangavathi Sona, 6 FLDs on KMP – 175 under Aerobic Method (High water use ef icient, released for aerobic cultivation in Zone 6 of Karnataka) and 3 FLDs on KMP 149. Across the locations, KMP – 149 recorded higher yield of 6.2 t/ha with 30% yield advantage. Gangavathi sona recorded an average yield of 5.65 t/ha compared to JGL 1798 that has become popular in this area.

57 Frontline Demonstrations on Rice (2017-18) Kerala Rice forms the staple food of the people of Kerala and contributes a major share towards its economy. It is grown in a vast array of ecological niches, ranging from regions situated 3 meters below MSL level as in Kuttanadu to an altitude of 1400 m as in the high ranges. It is cultivated under 3 to 4 meters depth of water as well as in purely rainfed uplands with no standing water. Probably nowhere else in the world, rice crop is cultivated under such a diver- sity of conditions. In Kerala rice is cultivated in an area of 2.08 lakh ha with a productivity of 2.66 t/ha the annual rice production is 5.55 lakh tons. Palakkad district is occupying the maximum area under rice cultivation and contribute 60 per cent of the total rice production of the Kerala state. Around 75000 hectares of rice area is in Palakkad district contributing 70 per cent of rice area of Kerala. Recent year’s rice farm mechanization particularly the harvesting machines from Tamil Nadu is one of the reasons for the retention of rice area in Kerala. Transplanting by machine is catching the rice area and relieving the farm women from drudgery manual planting. However the training on machin- eries used in rice transplanting and formation of labour banks is not enough. For the past ive years it was given with importance and providing training and on-farm testing of various farm machineries used in rice cultivation.

Hence mechanized farming is taken up under demonstrations. RARS, Pattambi organized 20 hectares of Farm mechanization in six different panchayats Viz., Thachampara, Mannur, Nellepilly, Pudunagaram, Kodumbu and Kottayi. The selected farm labour banks were irst explained about the importance of machine planting, method of nursery rising and man- agement practices to be adopted for machine transplanting. Machine transplanting successful- ly addressing the problem of labour shortage and delayed transplanting.
58 Frontline Demonstrations on Rice (2017-18) Mechanization in rice farming using mostly the women in Kerala is gaining the remark- able changes in rice production. Yield advantages are observed in all the panchayats when compared to the normal practice manual planting. Farm mechanization in rice farming re- corded the yield advantage of minimum of 625 to the maximum of 1550 kg extra yield in mechanical transplanting over manual planting. Farm mechanization in rice is also imparting cost reduction of minimum of Rs.2250 to the maximum of 7500 per hectare besides, timely planting and attracting the farmer’s to continue rice farming. In Kerala, Rice Research Station, Moncompu under Kerala Agricultural University has | organised totally 20 FLDs. Variety Shreyas recorded an average yield of 6.56 t/ha.
FLD Technologies Demonstrated during Kharif 2017-18 at RRS, Moncompu Management of Weedy Rice in Rice Fields Of late weedy rice has become a major problem infesting more than 50 per cent of the rice growing tracts in Kerala. Yield reduction is estimated to be 50-80 per cent. Management of weedy rice infestation is complex mainly because of its morphological similarities to cultivated rice and lack of herbicides for selective control of weedy rice in cropped ields. Genetic and morphological similarities of weedy rice with the cultivated species makes its control a dif icult task. No effective management options are current- ly available. Invasion and spread of weedy rice in the cultivated rice ields have forced the farming community to abandon rice farming, leading to socio economic and ecolog- ical impacts in the rice bowls of Kerala. Research undertaken at RRS, Moncompu has standardized the following management options in direct seeded puddled rice include • Pre sowing surface application of oxy luorfen @ 0.2 kg/ ha three days before sowing in thin ilm of water • Selective drying of weedy rice panicles with non selective broad spectrum herbicides glufosinate ammonium or glyphosate @ 15-20% concentration at 60-65 DAS using specially designed wick applicator / wiper device. The hand held wiper device for the direct contact application of non selective broad spectrum herbicides for selective drying of weedy rice panicles at 60-65 days after sowing, when rice and weedy rice plants maintain height difference of 20 cm. • Stale seed bed technique with (wet tillage in between two stales under heavy i festa- tion) application of broad spectrum herbicide followed by looding for exhausting soil seed bank • Straw burning after harvest of infested ields followed by zero tillage in succeeding crop • Soil solarisation for more than 30 days during summer months using 100 micron transparent polythene sheets. The technology involving cultural and chemical methods is expected to bring back the areas abandoned due to weedy rice infestation.

Variety Shreyas (MO 22) The variety Shreyas (MO 22) was the recently released from Rice Research Station, Moncompu. It is semi tall, medium tillering with medium bold red kernelled grains. With respect to grain yield, the variety is on par with MO 16 (Uma), the most popular variety in Kerala and superior to Uma in terms of earliness, resistance to biotic stresses and cooking quality. It is medium duration (115-120 days), non-lodging, photo insen- sitive and moderately resistant to BPH, sheath blight, sheath rot, BLB and false smut. Average yield is 7.0 – 7.5 tons/ha. The new variety is expected to perform better than the existing popular variety Uma with respect to yield and tolerance to false smut. Site Speciϐic Nutrient Management Blanket fertilizer recommendations may lead farmers to over fertilize in some areas and under fertilize in others, or apply an improper balance of nutrients for their soil or crop, though farmers ield show large variability in terms of nutrient supplying capacity and crop response to nutrients. SSNM considers indigenous nutrient supply of the soil and productivity targets capable of sustaining higher yields on one hand, and assured restoration of soil fertility on the other. SSNM optimizes the supply of soil nutrients over space and time to match crop requirements. The technology increases crop productivity and improves fertilizer use ef iciency, mitigates greenhouse gases from areas with high nitrogen fertilizer use. The soils of Kuttanad form the typical waterlogged soils and are entirely different from normal well-drained soils in their morphological, chemical and physical characteristics. The soil also face serious problems of hydrology loods, acidity and salinity. They are rich in organic matter and phosphorus and are de icient in potassium, calcium, mag- nesium, boron and zinc. The recommended fertilizer dose of the region was modi ied based on soil test results using the model Nutrient expert. Fertilisers were given at three critical growth stages. Magnesium and boron de iciency exhibited in the farmers ield was corrected by the application of Magnesium sulphate @50 kg/ha and borax @ 10 kg/ha. The high net economic returns realized with implementation of SSNM calls for large scale adoption of this technology to address nutrient de iciencies which exist within ields, and making adjustments in nutrient application to match the location or soil dif- ferences. Drum Seeding as a Method of Crop Establishment Broadcasting of sprouted seed is the prevailing crop establishment method practiced in the Kuttanad belt with a seed rate of 100-125 kg/ha. The uneven distribution of seeds often lead to vacant spaces in some areas and very thick growth of seedlings in other areas. Labour shortage and high wage rate restricts thinning and gap illing which re- sults in weed infestation in the gaps and incidence of pest and diseases in the region. Other than 18% yield advantage, use of drum seeder in the ield for wet seeding offered several other advantages like reduction in seed rate to the tune of 35-40 per cent, uni-
60 Frontline Demonstrations on Rice (2017-18) form row spacing facilitating easiness in operation with the use of mechanical weeders, better anchorage of hills preventing lodging etc. Reduction in the incidence of pests and diseases due to increased aeration within the canopy is an added advantage. The technology involves sowing of pre germinated seeds in puddled and leveled ield. The excess water is drained out from the ield maintaining a thin ilm of water. The just sprouted seeds are spread in shade before sowing to facilitate singling/separation of seeds. The sowing with drum seeder requires less quantity of seeds (30 kg/ha) compared to direct sowing (100-120 kg/ha). Seeds were sown in lines at a spacing of 20 x 10 cm to facilitate weeding and other operations. Moreover, the plant population was main- tained and the crop had enough space for proper growth and development. High yields were obtained with paddy sown with drum seeder as compared to farmer practice. The cost of cultivation reduced in drum seeder sowing method than manual transplanting

AICRIP Centre (All India Coordinated Rice Improvement Project) of JNKVV College of Ag- riculture, Rewa organized 20 FLDs on JR 767, Sahbhagi and MTU 1010 varieties of early dura- tion having good yield potential, drought and pest tolerant were demonstrated in the farmer’s ield under irrigated ecosystem. These varieties performed excellent in Rewa, Satna and Sidhi district and farmers obtained grain yield ranging from 4.0-4.7 t/ha. The weed management interventions using Bispyribac Sodium @ 0.5ml/l after 20 days transplanting applied in the farmer’s ield for weed management and the application of micronutrient combinations Pen- tagon (Zn, Ca, Mo, S, B) @ 10 kg/ha was demonstrated successfully for the enhancement of crop growth. It was applied at the time of 1st urea application (21 days after transplanting) and 10 kg Pentagon was mixed with 40 kg urea/ha. This micronutrient was found highly effective for the supply of minor elements and increased the crop growth. During Kharif 2017, All India Coordinated Rice Improvement Project JNKVV College of Agriculture Balaghat organized FLD’s on rice on recently released Hybrid JRH-19, under irri- gated ecosystem at village- Nevergaon, Block-Lalburra ( Balaghat ). The objective of the FLDs is of two fold. One is to demonstrate the relative yield advantage and second is to address the increase cropping intensity, weed management and plant protection measures over existing farmers practice. The changing climate conditions ,there is a need to promote the early dura- tion high yielding varieties/hybrids and adoption of plant protection measures for combating the economic losses in the region. Due to poor rainfall under climate change another striking constraint is scarcity of water in coming years. In this context partial System of Rice Intensi ication is getting popular in most of the wa- ter scarcity areas of MP. The AICRIP COA Balaghat conducted 10 demonstrations in Balaghat
63 Frontline Demonstrations on Rice (2017-18) district The demonstrations on partial SRI with Hybrid JRH-19 as well as local improved vari- eties were taken up using plant protection measures. The average yield reported by adopting the improved practice was 5.45 t/ha as against 4.22 t/ha and increased in yield over farmer’s practice. Partial SRI demonstrations not only increased grain yield but also saved water by 30% which is quanti ied by number of irrigations and it may be easily advocated specially wherever the crop irrigated by bore wells and controlled irrigation facilities are available. There is a need to demonstrate the early maturing highly yielding hybrids (110-115 days ) due to the erratic poor rainfall and limited irrigation for successful succeeding rabi crops. Farmers expressed satisfaction for improved early maturing high yielding hybrid and application of weedicides and insecticides for effective weed and pest control. Feed back from the Farmers : 1 The variety exhibited tolerance to Stem Borerleaf blast ,bacterial blight and sheath blight. 2 WBPH / BPH and stem borer incidence was low as compared to farmers adopted variet- ies. 3 The variety JRH 19 matured in 110-115 days 4. The farmers can use the residual moisture after rice harvesting for rabi crops due to early maturity .

65 Frontline Demonstrations on Rice (2017-18) Maharashtra In Maharashtra rice is the second important crop of the people, which is grown over an area of 14.99 lakh hectares with an annual rough rice production of 32.37 lakh tones. The average productivity of the state is 2.01 t/ha. The average productivity of the Maharashtra state is low as compared to other rice growing states viz. Panjab, Tamil Nadu, Haryana, Andhra Pradesh etc. The area (7.32 lakh ha) of rice crop is more in Vidarbha region. The highest productivity was observed in Konkan region i.e. 2.56 t/ha (3.65 t/ha for raw rice). Marathwada region is the non-traditional rice growing area. Due to the erratic and less rainfall in Marathwada region, the average productivity of rice crop is lowest i.e. 0.41 t/ha (0.59 t/ha for rough rice). Agricultural Research Station, Shirgaon conducted 10 FLDs on the improved high yielding variety Ratnagiri 5 in the districts of Palghar, Ratnagiri, Sindhudurg, Raigad. The variety has short slender grain, moderately resistant to leaf blast, neck blast and bacterial leaf blight. It is an early maturing (115-120 days) variety. In the demonstrated ields the variety Ratnagiri 5 performed well and yielded 43% more than that of the Ratnagiri 24. Farmers expressed their satisfaction that it is good for early maturity and better grain & straw yield. Regional Agricultural Research Station, Karjat conducted 4 demonstrations on Karjat 9 that recorded an yield of 4.39 t/ha with 24% yield advantage.

69 Frontline Demonstrations on Rice (2017-18) Odisha In Odisha rice is cultivated in an area of 40.04 lakh ha with a productivity of 1.448 t/ ha the annual rice production is 58.15 lakh tons. In Orissa rice is synonymous with food; agriculture in Orissa to considerable extent means growing rice. Age-old social customs and festivals in Orissa have strong relevance to different phases of rice cultivation: Akhyatrutiya in May-June marks the seeding of rice, Rajasankranti in mid June marks the completion of sow- ing, Garbhanasankranti in October symbolizes reproductive phase of rice while Nuakhaee and Laxmipuja coincide with harvesting of upland and lowland rice respectively. Makarsankranti in mid January is celebrated as Chaita Parab by the tribal people as by this time rice is threshed and brought to the granary. National Rice Research Institute, Cuttack organized 60 FLDs on several varieties like CR Dhan 200, CR Dhan 204, CR Dhan 205, CR Dhan 206, CR Dhan 304, CR Dhan 310, CR Dhan 311, CR Dhan 505, Satyabhama, Sahabhagidhan, Swarna Sub-1 and CR Dhan 500. The idea of demonstrating a cafeteria of varieties is worth appreciating and the FLD program of the state has provided the farmers with several options to choose from. A promising variety Pyari (CR Dhan 200) was demonstrated in Danpur, Kendrapada Clus- ter. It is a mid early duration (115-120 days) variety suitable for water limiting/ aerobic condi- tions for cultivation in Odisha. It has short bold grains and is moderately resistant to leaf blast, neck blast, brown spot, blast, yellow stem borer and leaf folder. Pyari recorded an average yield of 5.2 t/ha with yield advantage of 37% over local popular checks. A series of new vaieties released by NRRI, Cuttack were demonstrated in different clus- ters. All the varieties demonstrated have recorded impressive yield advantages and farmers were willing to adopt these varieties in subsequent seasons.

71 Frontline Demonstrations on Rice (2017-18) Tamil Nadu About 94% of total area under rice in the State is concentrated in high productivity group, which accounts for about 98% of total production of rice in the State. Out of 28 rice growing districts of Tamil Nadu, 27 districts are under high productivity group and one district is under low productivity group. The average productivity of rice in Tamil Nadu is 3,494 kg/ha, which is 79% higher than average productivity (1,947 kg/ha) of the country. Paddy is the principal crop extensively cultivated in all the districts of the state having a unique three-season pattern viz., Kar/Kuruvai /Sornavari (April to July), Samba/ Thaladi/Pishanam (August to November) and Navarai/ Kodai (December to March). FLD was conducted during 2017-18 by the Department of Rice, TNAU, Coimbatore with the newly released rice variety, CO 52 (a suitable alternate for BPT 5204) in 30 ha and the submergence tolerant variety CR 1009 Sub1 in the flood prone ecosystem of Tamilnadu in 10ha. Rice variety CO 52 is suited to samba season of Tamil Nadu state where in sowing was taken up in the month of September-October. Apart from delta regions , Western and Northern and Eastern part of Tamil Nadu are being cultivated with medium duration fine grain rice varieties like BPT 5204 and I.W.ponni which occupy an area of about 10 lakh hectares representing 50% of rice total area in Tamil Nadu . In order to replace these varieties, FLDs were conducted with CO 52 to popularize the same . Kalingarayan anaicut in Erode district of Western Zone; Pattukottai representing Cauvery delta zone; Tiruvannamalai district in Northern zone and Cuddalore districts in Eastern zone were selected for conducting FLDs in 30ha area. Farmers were very happy with the varietal performance viz., erect stature of the crop with non lodging nature, less incidence of pest and diseases particularly blast as this variety has got one of the blast resistant gene Pi 54 . The farmers reaped a bountiful harvest and were very pleased. On an average, 6888 kg/ha with 16.0% superiority over BPT 5204 was recorded. Due to the fineness of the variety, the farmers received a premium price for their produce in the market as that of BPT 5204 and got good renumeration. Besides yield, due to superior milling and cooking characteristics of CO 52 some of the farmers retained their produce for their household purpose. As that of yield, the farmers got good straw yield due to the medium tall nature of the variety. Due to this FLD, the farmers were motivated to cultivate this variety in future during this season. In samba season, in the tail end area of the Cauvery delta districts namely Tiruvarur and Nagapattinam an area of one lakh hectare is prone to flood. The newly released variety during 2015 CR 1009 Sub 1 was introduced in to the Sirkali taluk of Nagapattinam District in 10ha area. This year Sirkali taluk received a rainfall of 1359.3 mm spread over during the month of October (425mm), November (711.9mm) and December (222.4mm). On a single day i.e. on October 30th, 2017, 309 mm was received. Hence two trials out of ten, submerged at the early seedling stage and could not recover. Thus the heavy rainfall received during2017 is a true representative of flash floods and submergence in which the variety CR1009Sub1 was demonstrated. The potential of the Sub1 gene was witnessed in these demonstrations where in CR 1009 Sub 1 recorded an average yield of 5618 kg/ha with 6.28% advantage over CR 1009. Due to the performance of the new variety CR 1009 Sub 1 and its similarity to CR 1009 for other traits the farmers accepted to cultivate it in the forth coming samba season.

The average yield of Paddy during 2016-17 was 5195 kg/ha in Thiruvarur district. This year through FLD, we have demonstrated the package of high yielding rice variety ADT 51, mechanized dry direct seeding and IPDM practices. Sowing was done using tractor drawn seed drill in the leveled pulverized soil. After sowing until the receipt of canal water the crop was survived with intermittent rains and supplementary irrigation by bore wells. After the receipt of canal water from 35 to 45 days after sowing the fields were maintained as like wet paddy until harvest.
The performance of ADT 51 with the package of improved sowing method and IPDM practices were assessed and compared with the check variety CR 1009 under semi dry ecosystem. With the demonstrated package of technology in the dry direct seeded ecosystem average grain yield of 5.82 t/ha with about 14.1 % yield increase over farmers practice was observed. “IPDM in Rice” The IPDM package includes High yielding long duration (150-160 days) variety Rice ADT 51 (AD 09367), Pseudomonas fluroscens used as seed treatment @ 10g/kg and Soil application 2.5 kg/ha for controlling diseases, Black gram ADT 5 as bund crop to enhance coccinellids, Pheromone trap@ 12 nos./ha for monitoring yellow stem borer , Trichogramma Sp. egg parasitoid field release @ 50,000 – 1,00000/ha, botanical insecticide Azadiractin 1000ppm spray and need based application of chemical insecticides (Profenophos @ 1000 ml/ha). This IPDM have been demonstrated to ten farmers by providing critical inputs for 1ha plot. In farmers practice, five rounds of insecticides and fungicides combination
74 Frontline Demonstrations on Rice (2017-18) followed. Observation on pest damage, natural enemies population were assessed from 10 randomly selected hills at various phonological stages of crop growth both from IPM and non IPM (farmers practice) plots. The pest incidence, natural enemies population, net returns, economics of plant protection and benefit cost ratio in IPM plot was compared with non IPM plot. Monsoon during the cropping year 2017-18 was normal and wide spread in Thiruvarur district. Monsoon rains and water from Cauvery at later stages of crop growth helped to maintain good crop stand. The average yield of Paddy during 2017-18 was 4.8 t/ha in valangaiman block of Thiruvarur district. This year through FLD, we have demonstrated the package of high yielding rice variety ADT 51 and IPDM practices. The performance of IPDM practices were assessed and compared with the non IPM framers practices field. The net income per hectare from IPM plot was high, Rs. 109023 as compared to Non-IPM plot (Rs. 88638). Net saving of Rs. 1057 per hectare was realized towards plant protection cost. The results of demonstrations reveal that adoption of IPM components resulted in lesser incidence of pests and higher population of natural enemies, higher savings towards plant protection cost and higher net income per hectare when compared to farmer practice.

The villages covered were Athikaripatty, Ayyakuttipatti, Allaakuvarpatty, M.vadipatti, Balasamudhram, Veppanvalasu, Old Ayakudi, Kavalapatty covering 50 beneficiaries. The paddy growers cultivated varieties like BPT 5204, CR1009, ADT 41 and therefore blight disease occurred frequently causing a loss of 18 to 21 % yield loss. Now through the demonstration of the bacterial leaf blight disease resistant variety – Improved Samba Mahsuri, no blight disease incidence was. The farmers also felt that the seeds were slender and shiny than their conventional varieties which can fetch high price in the market (Rs250 to 400 per tonne) more than the other varieties. The farmers felt that there was no incidence of blight disease and also the variety had high market price. IIRR also conducted five demonstration on DRR Dhan 45 and Improved Samba Mahsuri in collaboration with the Malaikottai Paddy Farmers Producer Company Limited (MPFPCL), Lalgudi –Tiruchirappalli District. The 10 member farmers of Lalgudi demonstrated the two varieties namely DRR Dhan 45 and Improved Samba Mahsuri.

77 Frontline Demonstrations on Rice (2017-18) Telangana Rice is mainly grown under irrigated conditions in the command areas and also in rainfed conditions during kharif season. Southern Telangana grows medium duration varieties while Northern Telengana grows mainly the short duration varieties. Indian Institute of Rice Research organised FLDs on various varieties, management practices across Telangana state. System of Rice Intensiϐication with Bowmen’s Tubes There is a need to popularize water saving method - System of Rice Intensification in most of the water scarcity areas of the Telangana in Nalgonda District. A total of 22 demonstrations covering 10 hectares were conducted in Chandepally, Singaram and Durchugan pally villages of the Nalgonda districts of Telangana State during Kharif 2017 . The SRI method was compared with normal transplanting and popularized the Boumens water tubes for saving water. AWD method was compared in both the methods for its water saving potential. The demonstrations on SRI with local improved high yielding varieties were taken up for demonstrations. The demonstrations were conducted after awareness programme as well as field visits before the demonstrations and Inputs were supplied. The water management devices like Bowmens Tubes were also supplied to the FLD farmers and created a awareness to save water in rice cultivation. The average yield reported by adopting the SRI method was 5.93 t/ha as against 4.87 t/ ha in Normal Transplanting . In both the systems, the grain yields were reduced by flooding as compared to AWD method. AWD method increased the yields by 15 % in SRI method while 12 % in Normal Transplanting method. The Irrigation followed with Bowmans Tubes reduced the number of Irrigations by 37 percent in SRI and 44 percent in Normal Transplanting with reduction of water input which save lot of energy and cost of cultivation. SRI demonstrations not only increase yield but also saved cost of cultivation and water by 37 (quantified by perched water tube method- IRRI) which is quantified by number of irrigations. It is well suited under bore well irrigated system in Telangana State and feed back of the famers is very satisfactory with reduced pests and diseases. The response of SRI is promising at water scarcity districts. SRI can be easily advocated specially wherever the crop irrigated by bore wells and controlled irrigation facilities were available.Further Use of AWD pipes for irrigating both the crop establishsment methods will reduce the precious water requirement by 37-44 %. Integrated Weed Management The demonstrations on Integrated Weed Management in DRRDhan45 (Zinc rich) rice Variety was taken up through Dept. of Agriculture in Makloor Lingampet Mandals,Nizamabad District by ten farmers. The tailor made package recommended and implemented by the farmers included • High yielding high zinc medium duration variety DRRDhan 45 • Adoption of recommended seed rate of 30kg/ha. • Drum seeding under puddle condition/ transplanting
78 Frontline Demonstrations on Rice (2017-18) • Pre-sowing herbicide application of Glyphophate in the main field 15 days before drum seeder Application of pyrozosulfuron ethyl @ 200gm/ha within 3 days of sowing Application of chlorimuron ethyl + metsulfuron+ cyhalotofop butyl at tillering stage to control second flush of broadspectrum weed flora Top dressing nitrogen only after weeding operation Need based application of plant protection chemicals The adoption of IWM package has resulted in relative yield advantage ranging from Nil to 43% in three different villages. Drudgery Reducing Rice Production Technolgogies The FLDs on and use of cono weeder as drudgery reducing technology were organized on fields of 20 farmers in Shakhpalli , Achammakunta Tanda, and Korratanda Villages of Nalgonda District, Telangana. The technology package comprised of high zinc variety DRR Dhan-45 and use of manual weeder to reduce drudgery of manual weeding. The use of manual weeders was demonstrated as a labour saving strategy as there is scarcity of labour and high cost of labour. The farmers’ reported better tolerance of DRR DHAN 45 to BPH attack compared to BPT-5204 and it yielded on an average 28 bags/acre. On an average Rs1200/acre was saved on labour costs by using the herbicide and manual weeder. Moreover, the FLD beneficiary women were convinced and happy to use the weeder to reduce their drudgery of manual weeding. Popularization of high zinc variety - DRR Dhan 45 with IPM IIRR conducted demonstrations in 30 hectares in collaboration with Prakasham KVK, Jammikunta to popularize the high zinc variety DRR Dhan 45 under IPM. Participatory approach was followed in conducting the demonstrations associating farm scientists, extension workers and demonstrating farmers. Special attention towards soil problems like acidity, alkalinity, micro-nutrients deficiency effectively managed through soil test based fertilizer applications and soil borne pests and diseases were tackled through spraying of Pseudomonas fluorescence and pheromone trap installations, Cartap hydrochloride, neem oil spray for stem borer management. The farmers were satisfied with the interventions followed during the demonstrations. RARS, Warangal conducted 10 Front Line Demonstrations (FLDs) on Siddhi (WGL-44) variety in Mylaram & Ookal villages of Rayaparthi mandal of Warangal (Rural) district. WGL- 44 is a mid late (140 days) variety which matures week days early to BPT-5204, high yielding (6.0-7.0 t/ha), gall midge resistant, salinity tolerant, non lodging and non shattering variety with good cooking quality. It is fetching equal price in the market to that of BPT-5204. In all the FLDs Siddhi (WGL-44) variety recorded an average yield advantage of 58.5 % over local check BPT-5204. The FLD yields are far higher than state average (3.21 t/ha) and district average (3.16 t/ha). Farmers were impressed with this Siddhi (WGL-44) variety which fetched good price in the market due to its good grain quality characters. In terms of cost of cultivation it saved Rs. 4000/- to Rs.5000/acre as compared to BPT-5204. Market price on par with BPT- 5204.
79 Frontline Demonstrations on Rice (2017-18) IIRR conducted demonstrations in 10 hectares in collaboration with YFA-Krishi Vigyan Kendra Madanapuram to popularize the high yielding varieties like DRR Dhan 45, DRR Dhan 44, DRR Dhan 42, Improved Samba Mahsuri.

82 Frontline Demonstrations on Rice (2017-18) Tripura Rice is cultivated in four districts of Tripura. Out of which two districts each are falling under medium productivity group and medium low productivity groups. About 71% of total area under rice in the State is concentrated in medium productivity group, which accounts for nearly 74% of total production of rice in the State. Irrigated rice area in the State is less than 20% but area coverage under high yielding varieties is about 85%. The average productivity of rice in the State is 2,074 kg/ha as against 1,947 kg/ha average productivity of the country. ICAR Research Complex for NEH Region Tripura Centre, Lembucherra conducted 50 FLDs at clusters in Khowai district of Tripura, in collaboration with KVK, Khowai, in our collaboration covering 3 clusters, 69 farmers and 40 ha area. FLDs were also conducted in Mirza in Gomati district, covering an area of 18.9ha and 63 farmers and Khaerpur in West district, covering an area of 16.2ha and 22 farmers. The recently released varieties by the centre plus SRI or ICM showed about 15-50% per cent yield advantage over the farmers practice.

83 Frontline Demonstrations on Rice (2017-18) Uttar Pradesh Rice is grown in all the 72 districts of Uttar Pradesh with low to high acreage. It is part of the nearly every meal and it is grown on a majority of the rural farms. Uttar Pradesh is the leading producer of rice and rank 3rd in the country. In UttarPradesh rice is cultivated in an area of 59.47 lakh ha with a productivity of 2.358 t/ha the annual rice production is 140.22 lakh tons. Rice is cultivated mainly in Kharif season (wet season) in around 5.90 million hectare followed by zaid (summer season) 40,000 hectare only. As regards the boro rice, it is grown in only deeply flooded areas around 3000 ha or so mainly in the eastern districts of the Uttar Pradesh. The average productivity of the state is around 2 t/ha. Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, BHU conducted 15 FLDs on various varieties like HUR 917, HUR 105 Sub-1, HUR 917 + INM, HUR 1309, HUR 105, HUR 105 + INM, HUR 4-3 and HUBR 10-9 in Varanasi, Mirzapur, Ghazipur, Ganj, Jaunpur, Azamgarh, Gorakhpur, Kushi Nagar and Chandauli districts. HUR 105 recorded better yields compared to the normal package of practices. Department of Agronomy, BHU organized FLDs in 10 ha area among 20 farmers of three districts viz. Varanasi, Chandauli and Mirzapur in different villages of U.P. As earlier the centre emphasized on three agronomic technologies i.e. INM, IWM and double transplanting in the demonstrations. These technologies were tested on 5 rice varieties, viz. HUBR 2-1, HUR-105, HUR 4-3, HUR-917 developed by BHU along with DRR Dhan-44 developed by IIRR. This year DRR Dhan -44, a new variety for this area was introduced among farmers and it has performed well and has given 20-40% increase in yield over local varieties like Sonam, Rupali etc. It was also observed that DRR Dhan-44 has a lodging tendency at higher nitrogen levels due to its weak tillers/ stem vigour. Double planting technology locally known as Sunda planting is very popular among farmers, but farmers are not well aware about doing this technique properly. Now through FLDs farmers have become well aware about this technology. In double planting clonal tillers obtained from mother plant (earlier planted plant) are planted second times again. The tolerance capacity of such double planted rice plant towards excessive moisture or moisture stress as well as high temperature due to global warming in changing climatic scenario is increased. Due to Sunda planting 15-20 % increase in yield were observed in different demonstrations. Most of the farmers are fully convinced about INM and IWM technology in rice crop through FLDs. The demonstrated varieties have replaced the local varieties like Sonam, Rupali and Moti etc at present and may replace in future in rest of the area. In some demonstrations increase in yield was not observed due to infestation of bacterial leaf blight, moisture stress and poor plant population. Overall the performances of most of the demonstrations were found satisfactory. Amity University, Noida has conducted 10 FLDs on Pusa 1121 involving 25 farmers in blocks Dadri and Dankaur district Gautam Budh Nagar UP. The variety Pusa-1121 is one of the best scented variety and very popular in north State including western UP was selected for its demonstration on FLD programme. The average yield of Rice was 5.39 t/ha against the local check of 4.60 t/ha.
84 Frontline Demonstrations on Rice (2017-18) Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Sir Higginbothom Institute of Agriculture, Science and Technology (SHIAST) has conducted 5 FLDs each on Improved Samba mahsuri and Shiast Dhan-1 in Allahabad district. Improved Samba Mahsuri recorded an average FLD yield of 4.88 t/ha with yield advantage of 17% over local check varieties NDR 359 and Sonam. Shiast Dhan -1 gave 5.1 t/ha in farmers fields when demonstrated with complete package of practices with 15% improvement in the yield over local checks. Crop Research Station, Masodha conducted 10 demonstrations in Azamgarh, Faizabad, Ambedkar Nagar, Gonda on NDR 2065 and Samba Sub-1 along with INM. The varietal demonstration of NDR 2065 gave a yield advantage of 26.60% where as it was more (28.71%) when combined with INM practices.

87 Frontline Demonstrations on Rice (2017-18) Uttarakhand Rice is the major cereal crop of kharif season accounting for more than 54 percent of the total area under cereals in the state. In Uttarakhand rice is cultivated in an area of 2.8 lakh ha with a productivity of 2.12 t/ha the annual rice production is 5.99 lakh tons. There are two distinct rice ecosystems in the state. District Udham Singh Nagar, Hardwar and plains of Nainital and Dehradun districts grow rice under irrigated ecosystem. Rest of the nine districts viz., Almora, Bageshwar, Champawat, Pithoragarh, Chamoli, Uttarkashi, Rudraprayag, Pauri, Tehri and hill regions of districts Dehradun and Nainital are under rainfed upland ecosystem. In case of Hill ecosystems there is a need to introduce the most location specific high yielding varieties. To realize this objective VPKAS Almora conducted FLDs on recently released varieties. ICAR - Vivekananda Parvatiya Krishi Anusandhan Sansthan, Almora conducted demonstration on VL Dhan 68 involving 101 farmers from Almora district. VL Dhan 68 was released for commercial cultivation in 2014 for the irrigated transplanted medium duration condition of the mid-hills of Uttarakhand and Meghalaya. It matures within 125-130 days and can give yield up to 45 quintals per hectare under standard agronomic practices. It is also resistant to blast, the most important disease of rice in the hills. In the demonstrated fields, the variety recorded better yields with yield advantage of 34% compared to local checks. GB Pant University of Agriculture & Technology Pantnagar conducted 8 FLDs on recently released variety Pant Basmati-8.

91 Frontline Demonstrations on Rice (2017-18) West Bengal In WestBengal rice is cultivated in an area of 54.33 lakh ha with a productivity of 2.719 t/ha with annual rice production is 148.53 lakh tons. Rice is grown in WB under varying eco- systems on a variety of soils under varying climatic and hydrological conditions ranging from waterlogged and poorly drained to well drained situations and by the adaptation of rice to these agro-ecological factors. In general, four major rice eco-systems viz. Irrigated, Rainfed (Lowland & Upland), Coastal-saline and Flood-prone prevail in WB. All these four rice eco-systems are predominant in different agro-climatic zones and farmers maneuver these to suit their needs with their past experiences of growing rice. Rice Research Station (Govt. of West Bengal), Chinsurah (Hooghly) in collaboration with Zonal Drought Resistant Paddy Research Station, Hathwara (Purulia); Dry Land Research Station, Nutanchati (Bankura); Rice Research Station, Nutanchati (Bankura); Hooghly Krishi Vigyan Kendra (ICAR, BCKV), Chinsurah (Hooghly); Salt & Flood Tolerant Paddy Research Station, Gosaba (South 24 Parganas); and Tagore Society for Rural Development, Rangabelia Project, Gosaba (South 24 Parganas) organized 20 units of frontline demonstrations (FLDs) on a cafeteria of technologies and improved varieties in four districts (Purulia, Bankura, Hooghly and South 24 Parganas) of W.B. Fourteen improved varieties were demonstrated under different rice ecosystems viz. coastal saline (Gosaba 5 and Gosaba 6), rainfed shallow lowland (Swarna-Sub1, BINA Dhan 11, Dhiren, Sampriti, Dhruba, Sujala and Kaushalya), and rainfed upland (Sahbhagi Dhan, Ajit, MTU 1010, Puspa and IR 64 Drt1) at farmers’ fields in 20 villages under 10 different Community Development (CD) Blocks of the four districts. They exhibited yield advantages to the extent of 3.41-3.98% under coastal saline ecosystem, 4.61-19.87% under rainfed shallow ecosystem, and 4.83-40.56% under rainfed upland ecosystem when demonstrated with whole package of practices. The improved variety ‘Dhiren’ had stiff straw, which made it acceptable to the farmers for good thatching. Even it had no problem of panicle shattering, while the problem is very common with ‘Swarna’ along with its proneness to diseases, causing increase in cost of cultivation. Another variety ‘Sampriti’ had less problem of insect and disease infestation and long slender grain type, fetching good market price. Both the salt tolerant varieties (Gosaba 5 and Gosaba 6) performed well in coastal flood-prone areas. In drought-prone rainfed upland areas, tolerant rice varieties like IR 64 Drt1 and Sahbhagi Dhan did withstand better than local varieties. Submergence tolerant varieties like Swarna-Sub1 and BINA Dhan 11 (Ciherang- Sub1) were found promising in flood-prone rainfed shallow lowland areas. Five components of improved production technologies were evaluated at farmers’ fields in a total of 13 villages under 4 CD Blocks in the districts of Purulia, Hooghly and South 24 Parganas. Compared with farmers’ practice, yield advantages were recorded to the tune of 17.61% through integrated weed management (IWM), 15.05% through insect pest management, and 22.19% through integrated disease management (IDM) in coastal saline areas of South 24 Parganas district. The site-specific nutrient management (SSNM) practice recorded 9.36% higher yield than that of farmers’ practice in Hooghly district. In the district of Purulia, the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) exhibited 21.27% higher yield than that of conventional transplanting.

FLD technologies in West Bengal
94 Frontline Demonstrations on Rice (2017-18) IV. Ecosystemwise Performance of FLD Technologies During the current year, demonstrations were conducted in different ecosystems viz., irrigated, rainfed uplands, shallow lowlands, hills and coastal saline. The technologies demonstrated have recorded differential performance and yield advantages in different ecosystems. It may be noted here that the actual demonstration site may not be the true representative of a particular ecology. Care may be taken while undertaking the large scale adoption of those varieties / technologies for that ecosystem. While dealing with the results of FLDs ecosystem-wise resource constraints, socio-economic contexts, agro-climatic factors may be considered. Performance of a technology in well endowed areas may have several favorable factors associated with the recorded productivity. Performance of the demonstrated technologies in Irrigated Ecosystem

More than 11.51 % of FLDs were organized in shallow lowlands and 2.07% in hill ecologies. There is a scope to increase the number of FLDs in rainfed ecologies. The summary statement reveals that the mean yield advantage was the highest in Hill ecologies (29%). There is a tremendous scope to bridge the yield gaps (particularly Yield gap-II) in case of Rainfed uplands (24.66 % mean yield advantage), irrigated ecologies (20.66%) and Shallow lowlands (20.97%). For this, proper extension strategies need to be deployed for large scale adoption of these technologies.

102 Frontline Demonstrations on Rice (2017-18) Some of the Promising Technologies Identiϐied 2017-18 Following are some of the promising technologies identified under the FLD programme during the year 2017-18. In total 50 technologies have been identified from 20 states. The criteria adopted to identify these technologies are relative yield advantages over the existing technologies and the kind local problem the technology tried to address. This is not an exhaustive list, but only indicative list giving those technologies that could be tried in these states. These technologies will help either in withstanding abiotic stresses (such as submergence –Samba Sub-1, IR 64 Drt-1), improving the field productivity (JRH 19, HUBR 2-1,), solving the local problems (Problem soil management, Indira Aerobic -1), labour scarcity (Demonstrations of Paddy Thresher, mechanical transplanting), early harvest for facilitating rabi crops (Sahbhagi dhan), better basmati options for farmers (Pusa 1509 and Basmati 564), consumer preferences (RC Maniphou-13), replacing the popular varieties (CO 52, CR Dhan 909) etc., A viable strategy should be in place before these promising technologies making a difference in the livelihoods of farmers. It may be noted that, a technology with highest % yield advantage may not necessarily be a technology that has wider adaptability and adoptability. In such cases, the % yield advantage may help in enhancing the farm level productivity. A technology with average % of yield advantage may have wider adaptability, which may result in enhancing the production in larger area. Hence, the development departments may consider these technologies to take up popularization programmes in much larger areas. For further details on individual technologies and the farmers selected for the FLDs, the corresponding Nodal Officers (please see annexure) in the state may be contacted.

104 Frontline Demonstrations on Rice (2017-18) V. CONCLUSIONS
During the year through this programme, a cafeteria of rice technologies were demonstrated in 723 hectare area covering 20 states and five major rice ecosystems of the country. FLDs organized during this year have been effective in creating the awareness about the potential of new rice varieties, hybrids and other management technologies. In majority of the cases the yield advantages recorded by the FLD technologies were significant. Out of 723 FLDs reported, about 78.7 % were conducted in irrigated rice ecosystem; whereas about 6.87% of FLDs were conducted in rainfed uplands. More than 11.51 % of FLDs were organized in shallow lowlands and 2.07% in hill ecologies. There is a scope to increase the number of FLDs in rainfed ecologies. The summary statement reveals that the mean yield advantage was the highest in Hill ecologies (29%). There is a tremendous scope to bridge the yield gaps (particularly Yield gap-II) in case of Rainfed uplands (24.66 % mean yield advantage), irrigated ecologies (20.66%) and Shallow lowlands (20.97%). For this, proper extension strategies need to be deployed for large scale adoption of these technologies. FLD technologies demonstrated in irrigated ecosystems have recorded mean yield of 5.16 t/ha where as in Shallow lowlands FLD technologies have recorded an average yield of 5.34 t/ha. Average demonstration yields in rainfed uplands was 3.94 t/ha. This shows the attainable yield potential in the farmers’ fields, which needs to be considered for planning the extension programs in these regions. The range of yield advantages explains that there are few promising technologies, if properly adopted by the farmers may result in enhancing the farm level productivity. In total 50 technologies have been identified from 20 states based on their performance in farmers field conditions. These technologies will help either in withstanding abiotic stresses (such as submergence –Samba Sub-1, IR 64 Drt-1), improving the field productivity (JRH 19, HUBR 2-1,), solving the local problems (Problem soil management, Indira Aerobic -1), labour scarcity (Demonstrations of Paddy Thresher, mechanical transplanting), early harvest for facilitating rabi crops (Sahbhagi dhan), better basmati options for farmers (Pusa 1509 and Basmati 564), consumer preferences (RC Maniphou-13), replacing the popular varieties (CO 52, CR Dhan 909) etc., But a viable strategy should be in place before these promising technologies making a difference in the livelihoods of farmers. During this year, monitoring was done across the country in select locations involving a team of IIRR scientists. The monitoring teams have visited FLD sites and interacted with the farmers. Various components such as field boards, list of farmers, performance of technologies, input supply details were verified during these visits. The new varieties and technologies demonstrated need to be popularized in an extensive way, so as to enhance the productivity and production on a location specific basis. The effectiveness of the FLDs can be enhanced much more through proper planning, expeditious administrative approval, timely release of funds and critical monitoring. The fruits of FLDs can be harnessed on large scale, if proper follow up activities are taken up by the state departments of agriculture. Of late, there is a general feeling that, focus of FLD programme should be not only on productivity, but also on profitability. The economics of FLD technologies can be effectively captured, if FLD cooperators provide primary data as per the Final Report Proforma (annexure-V). IIRR is making efforts to analyze the time series data of FLD programme for policy advocacy. As a part of this initiative a comprehensive database is developed on FLDs conducted in last two decades and is made available at http://www.fld.rkmp.co.in.
