| Abstract: |
Adoption of improved rice-based technologies was assessed in the marginal uplands of Bhabsi and Patu villages situated in Siwalik range of Mahottari after two years of technology intervention by the collaborative project of IRRI with NARC for household food security and environmental sustainability. Among the new varieties, Radha-32 was adopted by 75 percent of farm households mainly because of high yielding, drought tolerance, disease resistance, fair eating quality and medium milling recovery. Hardinath-1 became also popular variety adopted by 60 percent of farm households due to high yielding and short duration maturity and fit in low land conditions for normal as well as early rice. Adoption of low cost technologies like seedling broadcasting and integrated weed control measure was increasing. The new rice varieties replaced the local varieties which were low yielder and susceptible to blast disease. Farmers had adopted cropping patterns like rice-chickpea and rice-lentil and inter cropping of rice with peanut, cowpea or maize as new technologies. The average rice yield was increased by 319 kg/ha in upland condition and 221 kg/ha in lowland condition after two years of technology intervention by the project. |
