Validating ITKs and innovations from progressive farmers of Chhattisgarh
ITK for Rice Yellow Stem Borer Management (Sh. Kaushal Prasad Patel, Tarapur, Raigarh)
A botanical decoction and organic manure developed by Mr. Kaushal Prasad Patel, farmer of
Raigarh were tested on rice cultivars Swarna and Silky, against yellow stem-borer in Baronda
farm, ICAR-NIBSM during kharif 2017. The botanical decoction treated Swarna seeds
coupled with application of organic manure and Silky rice variety were demonstrated. The
incidence of yellow stem-borer on Silky variety and Swarna imparted with botanical and
manure was negligible when compared to control.
Treated Swarna seeds Treated rice crop
Control rice crop
Kopar Technology for Biotic Stress Management with special reference to weed (Sh. P. C. Agarwal, Kharora) Kopar is a traditional method of farm practice in Chhattisgarh. Mr. P. C. Agarwal a
progressive farmer of Kharora has used this technology for the management of biotic stresses
(weeds, insect pests and diseases) in his own farm at Kharora and found very encouraging
results over chemical control measures. As per Mr. Agarwal, the technology could increase
the yield by 20-30 per cent depending upon the variety, stage of the crop and number of
Kopar operation in the crop. The Kopar technology has been demonstrated at farmer’s field,
Jaroda (Mr. Santosh Sahu farm) and ICAR-NIBSM farm in the paddy crop during kharif
2017. Mr. Sahu has used Kopar technology thrice (20, 30 and 40 DAT) in the paddy crop for
the management of weeds in paddy (Cv. Swarna). The number of tillers was more (14-
18
15/paddy plant) and the level of insect pests and diseases were negligible as compared to
non-Kopared crop (8-10 tillers/ paddy plant). He recorded 26 q/1.5 acre in Kopared crop as
compared to non-Kopared crop (20 q/1.5 acre).Whereas at ICAR-NIBSM farm, the yield was
21.36 q/acre (Cv. Swarna) and 19.82 q/acre (cv. Mahamaya) in Kopared crop as compared to
non-Kopared crop (16 q/acre in Mahamaya and 17.5 q/acre in Swarna).

Summary of Research Results (Programme wise)
1. Pest and pathogen genetic resources (PPGR) and their management
1.1 Viral diseases of crop plants in the plain zone of Chhattisgarh
During the reporting period, surveys were conducted in the farmers’ field of fifteen
districts covering plain and northern region of Chhattisgarh; Raipur, Durg, Bemetara,
Kabirdham, Mungeli, Bilaspur Baloda Bazar, Janjgir-Champa, Raigarh, Masamund, Korba,
Koriya, Surajpur, Sarbuja, Jashpur, to understand the prevalence of viral diseases in
agriculturally important crop plants. Mungbean, urdbean, cow pea, Dolichus bean and Pigeon
pea were found to be affected with 7-94% yellow mosaic disease, vegetable crops such as
bhendi (91-100% yellow vein mosaic and 78-100% leaf curl disease), chilli (17% leaf curl
disease) sponge gourd (78-98% leaf crinkle disease), bitter gourd (52-100% leaf crinkle and
43% mosaic disease) and fruit crop; papaya (mosaic and leaf curl disease) were found likely
to be infected with whitefly transmitted Begomovirus. Other viral diseases such as leaf
crinkle disease in mung bean (98%), ring spot disease in papaya (97%) and mosaic disease in
cucumber (3%) were also noticed in this region. Pulses and vegetables crops found to
affected by viral diseases. The important viral diseases found in these areas are found in
mung bean and urd bean yellow mosaic followed by leaf crinkle disease, dolichos bean-
yellow mosaic, tomato-leaf curl and spotted wilt, chilli leaf curl, bhendi yellow mosaic,
cucumber-mosaic, sponge gourd, bitter gourd, ridge gourd- leaf crinkle and curl, papaya ring
spot and curl diseases.
1.2 Microbes associated with reproductive biotic stress in bovine
PCR protocol for detection of bovine brucellosis, leptospirosis and IBR from blood
samples was standardized. Total genomic DNA was extracted from 240 blood samples
collected from cattle and buffaloes from five districts of Chhattisgarh (Dhamtari, Durg,
Kanker, Raigarh and Rajnandgaon). PCR was conducted for presence of DNA of these three
infectious pathogens. Out of 240 samples, 45 (18.75%), 61 (25.42%) and 48 (20%) samples
were positive for brucellosis, IBR and leptospirosis respectively.
2. Molecular biology of biotic stress reaction
2.1 Bacterial endophytes of pigeonpea and lathyrus
Endophytes are microorganisms which live symbiotically with almost all varieties of
plant and in turn helping the plant in a number of ways. A total of 34 bacterial endophytic
microbes isolated from pigeon pea (20) and lathyrus (14) were further characterized on the
basis of colony morphology, Gram’s staining, bacterial morphology (shape i.e., rod, cocci,
coccobacilli etc., and size of bacteria) and biochemical attributes namely oxidase, catalase,
indole, methyl red (MR), Voges Proskauer (VP) and citrate, urease and triple sugar iron tests.
It was revealed most of the isolates found catalase positive having ability to convert hydrogen
peroxide, the end product of various metabolites and toxin thus protecting the cell from
oxidative damage by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Microbes also showed ability to
perform nitrification on nitrate and nitrite and production of indole. Molecular
characterization of microbes were conducted using amplification of 16S DNA (Fig.1)
followed sequencing of amplicons showed the identity with Bacillus cereus, Enterobacter
cloacae, Klebsiella pneumonae, Bacillus Enterobacter species and Serratia marcescens etc.
20
16S ribosomal RNA gene sequences of 32 bacterial endophytes were submitted and
accessioned at NCBI.
Bacterial endophytes of rice
A total of 32 bacterial endophytes isolated were screened for antibiotic sensitivity
assay using 14 multispectral antibiotics, among them most of isolates revealed resistance to
methicillin. While, most of the isolates were found sensitive to gentamycin, streptomycin,
tetracycline and gatifloxacin. Molecular characterization of bacterial endophytes using PCR
amplification of 16S ribosomal RNA gene showed significant genetic diversity among the
microbes isolated from different tissues and varieties of rice. Sequencing of 16S ribosomal
RNA gene amplicon of bacterial endophytes from rice revealed the identity with Bacillus
pumilus, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis, Enterobacter cloacae, Klebsiella pneumonae,
Bacillus thermophilus, Enterobacter species and Xanthomonas sacchari (Fig. ). Endophytic
bacteria were found in all plant parts of rice plant with a significantly higher density in the
root, stem and leaves. 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequences of 32 bacterial endophytes were
submitted and accessioned at NCBI with Accession Nos; KY927393-KY927399, KY911276;
KY930702-KY930716; KY927847-KY927850; KY930332- KY930334 and KY962816.
These endophytes can be further explored for their potential role in enhanced crop nutrition
and management of different biotic stresses.
2.2 Super donor for rice bacterial leaf blight (Xanthomonas oryzae) resistance
Research programme initiated for the development of super donor of rice for BLB resistance
to intogress multiple BLB resistance genes in the local varieties of Rice grown in
Chhattisgarh. Linkage was established with IRRI, Philippine and ICAR-NRRI, Cuttack for
sharing rice germplasm and procured eight lines (seven IRBB BLB resistance genes and IR
24) from Cuttack.
4. Strategic and adaptive research in biotic stress management
4.1 On-farm evaluation of new weedicides in rice ecosystem
Pretilachlore 6% + Pyrazosulfuron 0.15% was applied 5-7 days after transplanting in
farmers’ holdings of Dhamtari, Bilaspur and Raipur district of Chhattisgarh to manage major
weed flora. It was recorded that weed control efficiency was about 70-91% coupled with
enhancement of grain yield by 40-50% irrespective of locations and varieties. The adoption
of this technology was 60% in these regions.
4.2 Weed spectrum influenced by nitrogen regimes in rice-wheat cropping system
Application of different doses of nitrogen, ranging from 0-125% and recommended
doses of P2O5 and K2O (60 and 40 kg/ha, respectively) in rice cultivar, Swarna indicated that
the highest weed density, dry weight and diversity were noticed in N0 plots and least with
N125%. The relative density of broad leaved weeds ranged from 29.1-44.4%, grasses with
23.1-51.2% and sedges with 19.8-34.4%. The highest rice grain yield was recorded in rice
applied with N125% (6.43 t/ha), followed by N100% (6.1 t/ha) while the lowest grain yield was
recorded in rice plots without nitrogen (3.6 t/ha). Due to initial poor canopy coverage in
wheat, maximum weed density was estimated in N0. The SPAD value was highest with N125%
followed by N100% and lowest with N0. The highest seed yield was harvested with N125% (3.30
t/ha), followed by N100% (3.23 t/ha) as against the control (1.0 t/ha). It was noticed that the
21
application of 25% additional nitrogen than the RDN has shown some additional yield but
was statistically comparable.
4.3 Influence of dhaincha (Sesbania aculeata) on weed suppression in transplanted rice
Findings depicted that rice plants took 30% lesser time to get established in main field
(5.25 days) coupled with a savings of 27.5% of fertilizer over without Sesbania incorporated
plots. Similarly, water requirement was reduced by 40.3% in Sesbania incorporated plots.
The rice plants in Sesbania incorporated plots were 3% taller, 30.3% more tillers, 15.1%
higher panicles (panicles were 4.7% longer, 8.2% heavier), 14.2% more filled grains, and
19.8% lower chaffy grains than without Sesbania incorporated plots which enhanced the
grain yield of 7521.1 kg/ha, and 20.3% higher over without Sesbania. Similarly, straw yield
was increased (8647.2 kg/ha) by 7.1% than Sesbania unincorporated plots. It was also noticed
that Sesbania incorporated rice plots had suppressed 58.5% of grasses, 59.1% of broadleaved
weeds and 44.9% of sedges. The total weed suppression was noticed with 58.7%.
4.4 Weedy rice diversity in Chhattisgarh
The weedy rice was collected from Raipur, Raigarh, Mahasamund, Janjgir-Champa
and Baloda Bazar district of Chhattisgarh. Various weedy rice accessions were collected from
above places and as per the distinct characters, 15 different group of weedy rice were
identified.
Under normal condition, only two land races could germinate that took more than
seven days, and were more close to Mahamaya type. Imposition of hot water treatment
stimulated eight land races to germinate. These were grown on pots. The preliminary findings
warn the potential threat of weedy rice in summer rice too. Increase in water temperature may
stimulate the seeds of weedy rice available in seed bank to germinate and get them
established, which may escape of early weed management and flowering and maturity may
synchronise with main crop and potential chance of seed mixture and further dissemination of
seeds in larger area due to seed mixture.
Echinochloa was grown on the pots at different density (0-7 per pot with two rice
seedlings/pot). It was noticed that plants were taller with increase in Echinochloa density
from 2-7.2%. It was also observed that the Echinochloa height was increased with increase in
density/pot to the tune of 6-22% lowest in one Echinochloa to highest with 7/pot. There was
competition for the resources among the plants resulted less tillers/hill, lower number of total
leaves/tiller, shorter leaves and narrow leaves.
4.5 Reaction of wheat germplasm/cultivar to pink stem-borer
Forty-eight wheat germplasm and 20 cultivars were screened against pink stem borer,
Sesamia inferens. The pink stem borer infestation among germplasm ranged from 1.82
(NIAW34) to 14.15 (DBW71) per cent while the infestation ranged from naught (WH147) to
