Abstract/ Executive Summary:

BRRI has so far developed 22 MV rices and are grown in different crop seasons, But, BRRI varieties are not equally adopted by the farmers in different agroecological zones (AEZs). The study was undertaken to-assess the adoption rate of MV rices in different AEZs in Bangladesh, and estimate the yield of MV and local rice varieties in different agroecological situation.. A total of 46 thanas under seven AEZs of the country were selected, considering the variance of MV rice adoption rate. Data were collected from randomly selected rice farmers using a pre-designed questionnaire. Collected data were edited, summarized and analyzed using simple statistical tool . Results indicated that allover MV adoption in Aman season was 41% including pajam rice whereas BR11 alone covered 56%.of the total MV rice area.Medium group farmers adopted MV rice a higher rate than those of the other groups.Among the all MV Aman, BR11 gave the highest yield (4.2t/ha) followed by IR5 (4t/ha).

Keywords: Modern rice, Adoption, Rice yield, Farm size

Location: Five AEZs of Bangladesh

Start Date: 01-07-1988

End Date: 30-06-1989

Program Area: Knowledge Management

Non-commodity: Rice

Objectives:

To evaluate the adoption rate of MV rices in different AEZs by farm size in Bangladesh, and
To estimate the yield of MV and local rice varieties in different agro ecological situation.

Methodology:

A multi-stage random sampling procedure was adopted to collect the farm level data. A total of 42 thanas under five AEZs (Non flooded and non-drought, flood prone, drought prone, drought and flood prone,and salinity and tidal submergence) off the country were selected, considering the variance of MV rice adoption rate. Data were collected from randomly selected actual rice farmers using pre-designed questionnaire.Collected data were edited, summarized and analyzed using simple statistical tool and presented in tabular form

Achievement/Findings:

MV rice covered 41% area in Aman seasoni including Pajam and BR11 covered 56% of the total MV rice area. Medium farm group adopted MV rice at a higher rate than those of other groups. The yield BR11was 4.20t/ha followed by IR5 (4t/ha)
