New Innovations/Initiatives Adopted By The State • Introduction of Quality seeds and newly released varieties such as HY-6444, CAU-R1, Naveen, Gomti, Goraknath-509, Loknath-505 & 555, MEGH-I and MEGH-II which have been distributed for cluster demonstration in different agro-climatic zones of the state has increased the production and productivity of Rice in the identified area of the District. As a result there is high demand of seeds by the farmers after observing the performance of these varieties. • Introduction of new technology such as SRI, etc. have contributed to the doubling/trebling of yield of Paddy in the Farmers field which has brought much satisfaction to paddy grower and increase the potential of enhancing production through increase in area of cultivation under paddy. • Construction of Check dam, water harvesting structures and supply of pump sets has enable the farmers in the lower altitude regions to increase the area under Boro paddy cultivation. Contd….
Intervention by lime application in iron toxicity areas has improved the paddy crop health raising the productivity by 30-50 % and enabled farmers to increase their production in the areas where Local Improved Variety of paddy such as MEGH-I, MEGH-II are grown in the high altitude region. • Various interventions proposed are being integrated which benefitted the farmers and increased their production.

Future Strategy • Quality Seeds for drought and flood like situation. • Timely availability of inputs during drought and flood occurrence. • To strengthen the construction of Water harvesting structures and Shallow tubes wells so that more area can be covered for cultivation of Boro paddy. • Temporary fencing may be included in the intervention • Mechanization- Power tillers, seed-drill, paddy transplanter are required which can be made available to farmers through custom hiring centres.
