Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Assessment of adoption and yield of MV rice is needed to take research program . Present study was undertaken to determine adoption rate and yield MV rice in AUs.Aman Boro season . A multistage random sampling technique was adopted for selecting the sample farmers. A total of 540 rice-growing farmers were surveyed in each season using pre-designed questionnaire. Collected data were analyzed using simple statistical tools. Widely adopted varieties in Boro, Aus and T. Aman seasons were BRRI dhan29, BRI and BR11 respectively. In Boro BRRI dhan29 gave highest yield (5.36t/ha) while in Aman and Aus seasons, highest yields were obtained from BRRI dhan32 (4.25 t/ha) and BR14 (3.96 t/ha). Adoption of MV rice was affected by lack of quality seed, as reported by 52% farmers, lack of working capital (41% farmers) and the low output price at harvest time

Keywords: Modern rice variety , Adoption, Yield and Constraints of adoption

Location: Nine Agricultural Regions of Bangladesh

Objectives:

To assess the variety was adoption at different regions and

Achievement/Findings:

In Boro, Aus and T. Aman seasons most popular varieties were BRRI dhan29, BRI and BR11 respectively. In Boro sesason, BRRI dhan29 gave highest yield (5.36t/ha) while in Aman and Aus highest yields were obtained from BRRI dhan32 (4.25 t/ha) and BR14 (3.96 t/ha).Lack of quality seed, as reported by 52% farmers. lack of working capital (41% farmers) and the low output price at harvest time were the main constraint to the cultivation of modern rice.
