Monitoring of BGREI Programme

Central Rice Research Institute , Cuttack

• A three tier monitoring structure involving central steering committee (CSC) under the chairmanship of Secretary (A&C)

• State level monitoring team (SLMT) for each state under the Chairmanship of an Additional Secretary/Joint Secretary of the Department of Agriculture

• District level monitoring teams (DLMT) headed by District Agriculture Officer to ensure delivery of intended technologies to the farmers.

• CRRI is the nodal agency for monitoring the programme.

Monitoring

• Director, CRRI as Member of the Central Steering Committee participated in meetings held under the Chairmanship of Secretary, DAC at Lucknow, Patna, Ranchi, and Bhubaneswar. His representatives took part in such meetings at Kolkata, Gauhati and Raipur

• CRRI Scientists involved in BGREI Programme as state in-charge and as scientist in-charge of the districts of Odisha are regularly visiting their assigned states and districts for monitoring and the effective implementation of the programme.

Activities of the Central Monitoring Unit at CRRI

• Strengthen coordination among CSC, SLMT and DLMT.

• In all SLMT meeting, scientist-in-charge of respective state from CRRI should be involved.

• The SAU scientists identified for monitoring at the district level have to play a more pro-active role; the state departments should extend support. Reporting has to improve very significantly.

• Beneficiary list in prescribed Proforma should be provided to the CRRI and other stakeholders.

• Ensure timely availability of inputs.

• Capacity building of Block level Agril. Officers, other field functionaries and farmers needs to be organized.

• Soil testing, need based IPM and related farm mechanization should be strengthened.

Crop Cutting Results

Critical inputs contributing to increase in production

1. Good quality seeds – whether it is open pollinated variety or hybrid

2. Application of basal dose of fertilizers

3. Availability of irrigation water through STW, LLP etc.

4. Line transplanting5. Plant protection of measures

Suggestions for proper monitoring/implementation of the programme

1. Component for management of weeds should be included especially for boro rice.

2. Emphasis need to be given for line transplanting especially for sali/kharif rice.3. Availability of the sources/outlets for the purchase of hybrid seeds by the

farmers themselves needs to be arranged.4. One-day training to the farmers before the onset of the cropping period will

help refreshing the farmers with technical know-how for scientific cultivation.5. Timely supply of the inputs has to be ensured.6. Seed quality has to be ensured.7. Providing facility for irrigation through STW, LLP etc., wherever possible.8. Wherever shallow tube well facility is installed, measures should be taken to

ensure irrigation during the dry spell.9. Water harvesting tanks will prove worthwhile where STWs don’t work.10. Erecting embankments and sluice gates, wherever feasible, in the nullahs,

streams connected with perennial water bodies especially for boro rice will help overcoming water stress in drier months in many areas.

Observations on implementation of the programme

1. The farmers are reluctant to practice line transplanting of rice. As per farmers’ perception higher number of labourers are needed to carry out the practice.

i. Line transplanting was practiced more in boro rice. In general, extent of line transplanting varied from 10% to 80 %.

ii. Kamrup district had 5,200 ha under summer rice demonstrations during 2012-13. Line transplanting varied from 60% to 100%. Boko sub-divisionof Kamrup district had almost 100% line transplanting in summer rice demonstrations.

iii. In Barpeta district, it varied from 40% to 80% in boro season.iv. In Udalguri district, it varied from 20 to 30% in boro season.

2. Most of the farmers were aware of importance of plant protection measures but rarely practiced seed treatment.

i. Farmers in the Barpeta district practiced seed treatment with carbendazim. ii. In Dhubri district, farmers took both prophylactic and curative sprays of

insecticides in the nurseries.iii. Taking plant protection measures in the standing crop was a common practice.

Observations on implementation of the programme

3. Farmers inclination towards hybrid rice is increasing. 4. Farmers applied 2 to 3 top dressings of urea @ 5 kg

per bigha and one top dressing of MOP @ 3 to 5 kg per bigha on their own.

5. Farmers preferred cultivars for summer rice were, viz., Chinese boro, Irri (No. 8, No.9, No. 28, No. 29), Biplab, Tepi boro, Khoiya boro, Balam, Bashphul, Sali barua.

6. Farmers preference was for bold-grained hybrids.

Impact of BGREI programme

Under the BGREI programme the state could increased the productivity following hybrids and SRI cultivation by 23.9 and 40.96% under demonstration plots compared to the farmers practice in the year 2011 – 12 and 46.6 % in hybrids in the year 2012 – 13 over farmers practice.

The production & productivity of state though decreased in the ear 2010 -11, could be increased by 1.63 and 1.23 times in the year 11 -12 .

In the current year 2013-14 , crop cutting in Patna district in presence of Scientist In charge of the state resulted 4.5 t/ha in demonstrated fields.

The state has added 6525 shallow tube wells and 3540 pump sets for creating irrigation facility for the farmers in the year 2012 - 13

Performance / Implementation status Bihar has implemented demonstration program of SRI (system of rice intensification)

in 77,254 ha of System of Rice Intensification in irrigated/medium land situations and improved upland rice production demonstrations in 10,000 ha, shallow low land rice in 15,000 ha BGREI programme has been taken up 22Non NFSM districts of Bihar in the year 2013 - 14

State has provided demonstration kit of costing 3000/- per acre that includes seed, fertilizer, Vermi Compost, Watering pot and micro-nutrient (Zinc Sulphate) etc. All Demo Kits were distributed to beneficiaries in Krishi Utsav Mela in each block of all Non-NFSM districts between 3rd week of may to 2nd week of June

In SRI demonstration, mainly two components of SRI i.e. young seedlings with wide spacing and line transplanting has been demonstrated; Inputs have been provided to the farmers well in time.

The Farmers express their great satisfaction over the SRI technology and showed interest for carrying out the same in future. They also appreciated the effort made by the department people for field demonstrations.

The state will distribute the shallow tube wells and pump sets in the dry season for this financial year 2013 - 14

Implementation/monitoring issues Inputs are distributed to the beneficiary farmers well in time before

sowing but many demonstrations are not conducted on field due to deficit /excess moisture stress in field. Site selection for SRI demonstration is not proper.

The beneficiary list has not been provided by the state to the CRRI as well as Scientist in charges of the districts for which proper procedure could not be followed for monitoring of the activities

The Information card prescribed for Block demonstrations has not been maintained and Krushi Salahkar / progressive farmers are unable to provide the beneficiary list and their information card under BGREI activity.

The nominated SAU Scientists/ district in charges for BGREI districts in Bihar neither visiting nor submitting report to the CRRI.

District level monitoring team has not been constituted and no verification is done at field level by the DAOs. District level monitoring team should be constituted immediately and regular visits may be made to ascertain the demonstrations and its proper implementations by state department

Suggestions for Improvement Besides SRI, location specific rice production technologies may be included in the

programme like Flood prone area management. SRI should be restricted to irrigated medium land situations only.

Farm mechanization i.e. mechanical transplanting & cultivation of hybrids may be given priority. Under site specific activity field channels should be constructed in irrigated conditions

Frequent field visits of non beneficiary farmers to the BGREI sites may be included as a component for awareness among the farmer

Beneficiary list may be provided to CRRI as well as scientists in charge of the districts for proper monitoring and technological back stopping

District In charge scientists should visit frequently to the their respected districts and report to the CRRI

Information card prescribed for Block demonstrations should be maintained well to replicate the success story

Crop cutting in presence of Dept. staff, scientists from university, Funding Agencies and non beneficiary farmers from the same locality

Crop cutting & reporting format / pattern should be uniform and yield should be reported on dry weight basis

BGREI monitoring team visited Balod on 01/12/2013

Salient findings of kharif 2012

• Overall increase in grain yield was to the extent of 26.66% (on the basis of 9 districts crop cutting data).

• Chhattisgarh had produced more than 100 lakh tonnes of paddy equivalent to 66.0 lakh tonnes of rice during kharif season 2012 where as total rice paddy production in the state in kharif 2010 was 61.0 lakh tonnes

• Seed replacement rate was found to be 36% in Kharif 2012, which is 7% more than kharif 2010.

• Adoption of Line sowing with tractor drawn seed drill increased in Balod, Mahasamund, Durg, Mungeli and Bemetra Districts and farmers are happy with tractor drawn seed drill.

• Cropping intensity was increased more near check dams as farmers are taking two crops in a year due to availability of water

• Cultivation cost reduced through seed drill, self rice propelled transplanter and markers in SRI

Issues• The hybrid KRH-2 did not show much yield advantage in several places.

This year performance of KRH-2 is very poor in Mahasamund and Kanker districts

• No report was available for Soil testing

• Shortage of labours during transplanting, Biasi and Chalai was reported by farmers. This is alarming and suggestions were made for more mechanization especially for the situation where rice crop is grown by transplanting.

• The choking of seed drill during sowing was observed at many places particularly in heavy soils due to moisture (Recommended seed drill for dry soil and well field preparation )

• Some farmers reported mixing of seeds, non availability of inputs like weedicide and pesticide in time

• Farmers are spending more money for control of insect pest and excess use of chemicals

• Deep ploughing by tractor drawn MB plough lacking

Reduction in area, shifted crop calendar and sowing windows, land preparation and transplanting, low fertilizer consumption, poor yields and migration

Crop cutting data from Jharkhand re-establish the need to make available shorter duration rice varieties/hybrids to avoid problems arising from late onset and early withdrawal of monsoons.

Reduction in area in drought years is approx. 6 lakh ha, especially the upper fields (shallow drought prone lowlands) where transplanting was delayed or could not be taken up. Direct seeding technology need to be promoted in this toposequence.

(i) Popularization of modern HYVs where traditional local varieties were the order of the rice farming traditionally.

(ii) Up-scaling hybrid rice technology,

(iii) Wider acceptability of line seeding/planting practice,

(iv)Small farm mechanization especially drum seeder, transplanter and cono/star weeder

(v) Overall yield enhancement across the ecology.

Impact study

• Planting rice in lines at 8-10 inches (20-25 cm) interval was yield advantageous (30-40%). In addition, this practice incurred 15-20% less labor and 20-25% less seedling requirement, as perceived by the farmers.

• Popularization of hybrid rice cultivation growing especially variety Ajay and Rajalaxmi that ensured around more than 50% yield advantage compared with conventionally grown HYV (OPV).

• In contrast, farmers did not like weedicide application, especially in irrigated and favourable rainfed lowlands; they preferred mechanical weed management with hand racker and ‘cono-weeder’, instead. However, weedicide is advantageous while applied in upland rice, they opined.

Farmers’ perception on BGREI Programme

• Beneficiary list in prescribed format,• Timely availability of inputs • Timeliness of crop, nutrient and pest management,• Quality seeds (in terms of germinability and

varietal admixture) Involvement of CRRI scientists while finalizing the Technical Programme

• Submission of periodic reports to the nodal Centre, CRRI, Cuttack

• Supply and use of farm implements

Uttar Pradesh

2013-14The ‘Bringing green revolution to eastern India’ (BGREI) programme is being implemented in 12 districts of eastern U. P. Rice demonstrations are being carried out in 92564 ha area, as against the target of 95000 ha for 2013-14, which works out to be around 97% of the target fixed•Rice demonstrations in total 95000 ha comprising 12000 ha each for upland, shallow low land medium deep water ecologies in rainfed areas,26000 ha for high yielding varieties (HYVs) and 33000 ha for hybrid rice in irrigated areas have been planned.•Under rainfed ecologies, demonstrations on 5482 ha of upland rice, 7550 ha of shallow lowland rice and 9365 ha of semi-deep water rice have been undertaken•This works out to be about 46%, 63% and 78% of the targets proposed in the work plan for the corresponding ecologies. In irrigated ecology, demonstrations on 20082 ha of high-yielding rice varieties and 11637 ha of hybrid rice have been taken up, which accounts for 77% and 35% of the proposed targets, respectively

Eastern UP

Problem• In Varanasi and Pratapgarh districts, the crop in certain areas

was suffering from moisture stress because of scanty rainfall and lack of irrigation facility

• Soil analysis had been completed in many areas and soil health cards with recommendation of fertilizer dosages had been issued. This work should be taken up in those areas that have not yet been covered.

• Infestation of stem borer, gundhi bug and sheath blight was the major problem in many places and concerned district agriculture departments were helping the farmers by providing appropriate pesticides. Plant protection officials were requested to inspect the crop and take appropriate control measures.
