Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Adoption of Modern rice Varities(MVs)of BRRI dhan28 and BRRI dhan29 and Purbachi are dominent in Boro season. BRR11 is still the most popular variety in T.Aman season adopted by 33%. In the Aus season BR2 , BRRI dhan28 and purbachi rice varities adopted by the farmers. BRRI dhan29 gave highest yield (6.48 t/ha) in Boro seasn and it also gave highest yield (4.77 t/ha)in Aus season BR11 ranked top in-terms of yield in 4.25t/ha in T.Aman season. Availability of quality MV seed and low price paddy at harvest time were the prevailing construnts in MV rice cultivation.

Keywords: Adoption, Modern rice varieties, Agricultural region, Yield

Location: 18 districts from 9 agricultural zone

Start Date:

End Date: 30-06-2003

Program Area: Socio-economic and Policy

Non-commodity: Rice, Adoption of technology

Objectives:

To determine the region-wise adoption rate of different MV rice’s in Boro, Aus and T. Aman seasons;
To estimate the farm level yield of different modern and local rice varieties; and
To estimate the socio-economic constraints to the MV rice’s in Different regions on MV rice adoption

Methodology:

Multi-stage stratified random sampling procedure was adopted in selecting the sample farmers. A total number of 18 districts were selected from nine agricultural regions considering the high and low adoption rate of MV rice. Thereafter two thanas from each district had been selected for each season. This study finally used a sample survey of 360 rice-growing farmers from nine agricultural regions taking 40 farmers from each region. Thus the total sample stands at 1080 from Aus, T.Aman and Boro seasons. Predesigned questionnaire was used in collecting data from the farmers. Collected data were edited scruitinized and summerized. Simple statistical technique was used in analyzing the data.

Achievement/Findings:

BRRI dhan28, BR11 and BR2 were the dominant modern rice varieties for Boro, T.Aman, and Aus season, respectively all over the country. BRRI dhan29 gave highest yield in both Boro and Aus season. On the other had BR11 performed as the best yielder in T.Aman season.Lack of MV quality seed was identified as a major constrain to expand the MVs in all seasons.The overall MV adoption is 66 percent and the national yield is 2.34 t/ha.The farmers are very much aware about the new rice production technologies.
