RESEARCH NOTESExploration and collection of rice germplasm

An exploration and collection programme of traditional rice, medicinal rice and wild rice (Oryza nivara) germplasmwas conducted from northern parts of Kerala during 22-30 October, 2016 and a total of 33 accessions were collected from10 districts. The traditional rice cultivation in Kerala is disappearing and rarely one can find the landraces growing inthe region. However, the patented Geographical Indicator (GI) registered medicinal rice; nivara is cultivated in Palakkaddistrict because of its commercial potential in ayurvedic treatments and also Govt. subsidy. However, the wild riceOryza nivara was also observed in some patches but the occurrence of O. rufipogon was very rare.

Rice Crop Manager: Development and EvaluationRice Crop Manager (RCM) was developed, evaluated, and verified for rice cultivation in Odisha through collabora-

tion of IRRI with the National Rice Research Institute (NRRI) and Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology(OUAT) by using the SSNM algorithm (Buresh et al., 2010). Rice Crop Manager aims to sustain the productivity of rice-based cropping systems and increase the net income of farmers in Odisha, India. RCM provides crop and nutrientmanagement guidelines customized to the needs of the individual farmer. RCM uses farmer's answers to questions onhis or her rice farming practices to automatically generate a rice crop management guideline aimed at increasing thefarmer's net income.

For the development of RCM, 35 locations in 3 blocks of Cuttack district namely, Nischintakoilli, Salepur and Mahangawere selected to define management zones (MZs) for more precise soil nutrient management. After analyzing the spatialvariability of soil in terms of pH, EC, organic carbon, available nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium, then with geostatisticaltechnique, soil fertility management zones were delineated. After that, on-farm omission plot trials were conducted toquantify the grain yield and nutrient uptake at different locations in these blocks. Grain yields in omission plots were in theorder of PK (2.54-3.64 t/ha), NP (2.77-4.01 t/ha), NK (3.10-3.94 t/ha) and NPK (3.4-4.5 t/ha). Response to applied N wasobserved at all the locations whereas, response to P and K application was observed at few locations. The soil fertilityindicators measured in this study showed that low available N, P and K seems to be the constraint to sustainable riceproduction, because of lower soil supplying power and insufficient application of mineral fertilizer. The results obtainedfrom omission plot trials were used along with other omission plot data developed by OUAT and other partners to develop

RCM nutrient management schedules, which were evaluated under on-station andon-farm trials. In these trials, three schedules of fertilizer management practices viz.,state fertilizer recommendation (80:40:20:5 NPKZn), SSNM based rice crop manager(85:30:30:5 NPKZn) and farmers fertilizer practice (40:20 NP) were compared. Thedifference in grain yield under SSNM, SFR and FFP was observed at all the locations.The gain in grain yield was highest in SSNM over FFP (1.59–3.09 t/ha); the gain ingrain yield was also observed in SSNM over SFR (0.11 – 0.92 t/ha). On an average,RCM recorded 41.2 and 6.3% higher grain yield than FFP and SFR, respectively. TheRCM is designed to be used by extension workers, crop advisors, input providers,and agricultural service providers who can interview farmers using a personalcomputer, smart phone, or tablet. Each guideline provides an actionable and uniquerecommendation for the crop, which matches the location-specific cropping prac-tices and needs of the farmer. Attempts may be made for further calibration andimprovement of the model for rainfed and stress prone rice areas of the state.

82.8%, 78.5%, 42.8% and 31.4% over hand application by using UBA-I, II, II, IV and V, respectively. UBA-III could notplace the briquettes in depth and only gives uniform application above the soil surface. For basal application UBA-IIperforms better as comparison to UBA-I in terms of UB missing percentage. UBA-V gives deep placement of UB andoperator able to maintain the placement distance on field. Missing rate of UB was nil for UBA-V but the labour require-ment was high and it can be beneficial for small land holding farmers (Table 1).

Soil organic carbon sequestration in lowland rice soil under long term chemical and organic fertilizationAgricultural soil is a potential sink for atmospheric carbon as soil organic carbon. The carbon sequestration is

affected by cropping system and management practices adopted. A long-term experiment on combined inorganic fertilizersand organic manure in lowland rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivation began in 1969 in NRRI, Cuttack. In 2010, after the 41st

harvest, soil samples were collected from six fertilizer treatments [control, nitrogen (N), nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium(NPK), farm yard manure (FYM), N+FYM and NPK+FYM], at four soil depths (0–15, 15–30, 30–45 and 45–60 cm), toassess the changes in soil organic carbon (SOC) content and carbon (C) sequestration resulting from long-term chemicalfertilizer and manure addition. The result from this study revealed that the SOC concentration and stocks have increasedsignificantly with the input of chemical fertilizer and manure as compared to control in the long term intensivelycultivated rice. As compared to the initial value (13.7 Mg ha-1), the SOC stock at 0-15 cm depth increased under control

and all other fertilized treatments during 41 year period. In the soil profile, distribution of SOC concentration and stockswas mainly occurred in the upper 15 cm of the soil profile, whereas at greater depths these differences were less evident.The rate of increase in SOC stock due to fertilizerapplication alone varied between 57 and 89 kg ha-1 yr-1,while for FYM addition the rate of increase was 61 to 138kg ha-1 yr-1, highest being in NPK+FYM. The increase inC stock may be attributed to the C input added throughthe incorporation of only roots and stubble under thecontrol treatment which may be sufficient to maintain oreven enhance the C stock in rice soil. The variation amongthe treatments in sequestering different amounts of Cwas mainly due to the differential inputs of C from leftover root and stubble biomass and the addition ofmanure. In conclusion, it can be inferred that the C inputonly from left over rice roots and stubble is sufficient tocomplement the C loss through organic matterdecomposition in lowland rice and C sequestration canfurther be enhanced with the addition of chemicalfertilizers and manure particularly in sub-humid tropics.

Characterization of plant-growth promoting bacteria associated with different species of AzollaThe aim of present study was to examine the abundance of plant-growth promoting bacteria among different species

of Azolla viz., A. microphylla, A. Mexicana, A. filiculoides, A. caroliniana, A. pinnata and A. rubra. Among all selectedisolates (n=120) from different Azolla species, nearly 70% of isolates showed plant-growth promoting traits. Among 120isolates, 10%, 39.16%, 41.6%, 44.8%, 28.33% and 7.5% isolates were positive for nitrogen fixation, amylase production,ammonia production, siderophore, IAA and P-solubilising test, respectively. Based on nifH gene amplification, twelveisolates (AM1, AM2, AM3, AM4, AM5, AP1, AP2, AP3, AF1, AF2, AF3 and AC1) were found to be positive for nitrogenfixation and most of the diazotrophs were identified as Acinetobacter sp. based on 16S-rDNA homology. Biochemicalcharacterization showed that two isolates (AM1 and AP1) were positive for indole, MR, VP, citrate, nitrate, gelatin,caesin, catalase, oxidase and tween 80. Moreover, three substrates (nitrate, gelatin, casein) were preferentially utilized byall nitrogen fixing bacteria. Overall, the present study suggest that besides Cyanobacteria, other bacteria as diazotrophsare also associated with Azolla sp. which may be used further as potential bioinoculants for growth promotion ofagricultural crop including rice.

False smut disease: An emerging threat for production of rice in coastal districts of OdishaFalse smut, caused by Ustilaginoidea virens (Cooke) Takah has become one of the serious diseases of rice. This disease

is reported in most rice-growing areas of the world, including India. The major symptom is the conversion of individualgrains into smut balls (Fig 4), which results in sterility of the florets. Though false smut was once considered to beassociated with bumper harvest of rice, but now it has become serious threat to rice production decreasing the quality ofrice seed. The disease causes chalkiness of grains which leads to reduction in grain weight. It also causes a reduction inseed germination of up to 35%. The disease affects the early flowering stage of the rice crop and destroys ovary andconvert whole grain into smutted sori. The second stage of infection occurs when the spikelet nearly reaches maturity. Indamp weather, the disease can be severe and losses can reach to more than 25%. In India, yield loss of up to 75% wasobserved (Agarwal and Verma 1978; Singh, 1984). During last few years, false smut infestation has been reported frommany parts in Odisha in an alarming proportion.

During kharif 2016 a survey was conducted in different rice growing villages of Kisannagar block of Cuttack districtto record the incidence and severity of the disease in popular rice varieties. The survey was conducted in two growthstages namely pre-flowering and grain maturity stage. The varieties recorded various degrees of disease incidence andseverity. Prominent high yielding rice varieties like Pooja, Naveen, Varshadhan, CR Dhan 1014, Swarna, Pratikshya andSwarna sub-1 were found to be susceptible to false smut at different level of infection. The number of infected panicles/

m2 incidence) and number of sori (smut balls)/panicle severity) recorded in order to compare the severity and incidenceon all the cultivars (Table 2). The data suggested that there were differences in the field reaction among the cultivars inresponse to diseases incidence and severity. The maximum disease incidence was recorded in Pooja (55.61%) followedby Naveen (22.22%) and least incidence was recorded in Gayatri (4.20%). Geetanjali was found to be immune to diseasewith no disease. A detailed study on either disease escape or resistance in Geetanjali needs to be studied in detail.

Rice Bakanae/Foot rot: an emerging threat to rice production in OdishaRice crop is infected by a number of fungal, bacterial, viral and nematode diseases causing significant reduction in

yield and quality due to severe infestation. Now-a-days, climate change, delayed sowing and transplanting and impropercrop management practices have given rise to many minor diseases to emerge as major problem and causing significantyield reduction. Among these diseases rice Bakanae/foolish seedling or foot rot caused by Fusarium fujikuroi Nirenberghas become an important emerging disease of rice across India. The disease recently recorded a higher incidence inOdisha, parts of West Bengal and Assam.

During kharif 2016-17 a survey was undertaken in three blocks of Cuttack district of Odisha. Significant diseaseincidence was recorded in some of the popular varieties like Pooja, Naveen, Abhishek, Pratiksha, Swarna and Swarnasub-1. The disease incidence ranging from 3.0-35.0% was recorded in different villages of Cuttack, Tangi and Kisannagarblocks of Cuttack district. Our observations disclosed for the first time such a huge incidence and severe damage even innon basmati rice varieties in contrast to earlier reports of severe incidence only in basmati rice varieties. The maximumdisease incidence was noticed from post tillering to flowering stage. In these growing regions, we recorded almost all

type of symptoms produced by the pathogen. These include, abnormally elongated seedlings (Fig 7), foot and seedlingrot (Fig 9), pale green flag leaves (Fig 6), yellowish leaves bearing empty panicles, discoloration of grains, and in severecases, sterile seeds and dried dead seedlings. The disease was recorded in a severe form where the farmers' are using thesame seeds of previous season left with them for the sowing purpose without proper seed treatment.

Currently, seed treatment with fungicides is the most effective and the only important disease management strategy usedworldwide as there is no source of resistance. The farmers' were advised not to use the same seeds of previous season andadvised to use fresh seeds with proper seed treatment with fungicides such as Carbendazim 50% WP @ 2.0gm/kg of seeds.

Effect of false smut disease [Ustilaginoidea virens (Cooke.) Tak.] onproduction and quality of paddy seed health

The term “Health is Wealth”, not only applicable for human and animal, is equally important for the health of cropseed. Disease free healthy seed is required for maintaining optimum plant populations and good harvest. Till dateemphasis was given to study major diseases for sustainable rice production. But some post flowering rice diseases arealso influencing production loss and impacting the quality of produce which has direct bearing on seed health andindirectly affect the growth of plant. One such disease is 'false smut of rice', caused by Ustilaginoidea virens (Teleomorph:Villosiclava virens), earlier considered as symbol of 'bumper harvest' affects young ovary of individual spikelet andtransforms them into yellow, olive green to blackish spore balls known as smut ball (Fig 10). To observe the impact offalse smut disease on seed health, panicles from 8 different rice varieties grown for seed production was collected onrandom sampling basis. Analysis of data revealed that per cent filled grain is decreased from 3.0-71.8 vis-à-vis chaffygrain is increased alarmingly high (24.6–87.5%) while 1000-GW is decreased by 1.2–10.8% in diseased (D) panicle incompare to healthy (H) panicle (Fig 11). Reduction in yield due to false smut is attributed not only to smut ball incidencebut also to chaffiness and reduction in grain weight. Presence of false smut (FS) ball (0.9-12.4%) in seed lot make itunacceptable in terms of bad appearance of seed and tedious job to separate the FS ball. Germination is reduced 3.4–9.5%and seedling vigour index (SVI) both in terms of root-shoot length (SVI-I) and dry weight of seedling (SVI-II) is also reduced(SVI-I 6.8-38.5 Fig 12 and SVI-II 10.8-38.5 Fig 13). Seedlings emerged out of infected seeds showed rudimentary and subnormal

BxÉ+É®ú+É®ú+É<Ç ºÉÚSÉxÉÉ-{ÉjÉ, +C]Úõ¤É®ú-ÊnùºÉƤɮú 2016 19

growth of the root hairs may be one of the causes of loss of seedling vigour. The observation indicates the need of in depthstudy of false smut disease of rice to combat yield loss management vis-à-vis maintenance of good seed health.

Quantification of Protein, Iron, Zinc and Phytic Acid in Doubled HaploidLines derived from Rice Hybrid, CRHR 32

Out of 150 doubled haploids (DH) produced from a long duration elite rice hybrid, CRHR 32 through anther culture,24 were selected based on the morpho-agronomic characters and evaluated for protein, phytic acid, iron and zinccontent in the grains. The protein content ranged from 7.12-12.11% in brown rice and 7.27-10.59% in milled rice asdetermined by the micro-kjeldahl method. The phytic acid content varied between 0.55- 1.98% as determined with the

phytic acid assay kit (Megazyme InternationalIreland Limited). Iron and zinc contents in DH lineswere also analysed with an Atomic AbsorptionSpectrophotometer (AAS) and found to varyfrom 1.3-5.1 ppm and 14.3- 23.5 ppm, respectively.The DH line S-S-8 showing grain yield of more than6 t/ha-1 was found to contain 12.11% protein inbrown rice and 9.11% in milled rice along with lowphytate (0.48%), high iron (5.1 ppm), and moderatelyhigh zinc (19.0 ppm) in the grains. Besides, anotherDH line (S-S-6) with grain yield of 6.20 t/ha-1 showedhigh protein content (10.56%) in milled rice. Thesetwo DH lines thus have the potential for use in thenutritional food security program.

Doubling Farmers' Income in Rice-basedSystems by 2022

Farmers' income increases, when productivity of cropsand livestock-fisheries goes up, cost of production comesdown, risk is reduced, post-harvest loss is minimized andcommodities produced get a remunerative price. Currentlevel of average income of an Indian farmer is about Rs.6,430 per month (NSSO, 2012-13), with huge disparityamong different states. As per NSSO survey, Punjabfarmers earned highest income (Rs. 18,060) followed bythose of Haryana (Rs. 14,440), Jammu & Kashmir (Rs.12,685) and Kerala (Rs. 11,890), with least income permonth for Bihar farmers (Rs. 3,560).

At the national level, the compound average growthrate (CAGR) of farmers' nominal income was 11.8%between 2002-03 and 2012-13. Haryana registered thehighest growth (17.5%) and West Bengal the lowest(6.7%). In real income terms, Odisha emerged as thetop performer with a CAGR of 8.3%, followed byHaryana (8.0%), Rajasthan (7.9%) and MadhyaPradesh (7.3%), with national average of 3.5%. Amongthe various sources of farmers' income, share from cropcultivation increased from 46% in 2002-03 to 47% in2012-13. Share of income from livestock increased from4% to 13%, while the contribution from both non-farmbusiness and wages and salaries declined during thisperiod. Under a business as usual scenario, nominalfarmer's income is doubled in almost every 8 years,whereas doubling of real income needs more than 25years. Clearly, to double the real income by 2022 i.e.,next six years, the effort and resources necessary toachieve it would have to be at least 3.5 times that of thecurrent level.

Out of about 197 million hectare (Mha) of gross croppedarea in India, rice occupies the maximum area i.e., about43.5Mha (22%). The contribution of rice accounts for 50.9%of total value of output from cereal crops. Out of total ricearea, more than 50% area is in eastern India and almostevery farmer grows rice. Therefore, if we have to doublethe farmers' income by 2022, special emphasis has to begiven to the rice farmers of eastern India. However,doubling of income of rice farming is much morechallenging than that of any other commodity, that too ineastern India because of its dependence on monsoon, smallland-holding, subsistence nature of farming and poordevelopment of infra-structure like storage and marketing.

The average productivity in rice is low compared tomost of the major rice-growing countries. To increaseproductivity, judicious use of inputs such as water, seeds,fertilizer and pesticides need to be improved with efficientuse of modern technology and crop diversification. A rangeof strategies need to be adopted to transform the currentproduction-driven to income-driven rice-farming systemand reduce disparity among farmers of different regionsof India. The following options are available for increasingfarmers' income in rice-based systems.

A. Improving productivity and quality1. Providing quality seed and enhancing seed

replacement ratio2. Promoting high-yielding varieties and hybrids3. Growing quality rice (both aromatic and fine grain

for export)4. Increasing cropping intensity in rice fallows

B. Increasing input use efficiency1. Crop planning to identify areas where the crop can

be grown with least input2. Promoting water harvesting and micro-irrigation

to achieve per drop-more crop3. Using soil health card and site-specific crop

management4. Promoting farm mechanization and solar energy

C. Reducing crop loss1. Adopting plant protection measures2. Promoting e-surveillance3. Promoting crop insurance4. Improving weather forecasting system

D. Diversification1. Dairy husbandry for small farmers2. Promotion of intensive vegetable production3. Promotion of ancillary activities like poultry,

beekeeping and fisheries4. Strengthening Organic Food Program
