Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A study was conducted in three villages under Comilla Sadar Upazila, in April, 2013 to find out the contemporary yielding knowledge of rice cultivation at grassroots level. Sample survey method (60 respondents were selected along with 3 key informants as sample) was followed to conduct the study considering the parameter like land holding pattern, adoption of variety, seed & seed technology, cultivation methods, age of seedling during transplanting, application of fertilizer, irrigation, weeding, disease & pest management, IPM & also yield & yield gap. The results of the study revealed that the farmers of those three villages of Comilla Sadar upazila cultivated many mordern varietiues but they don’t have any idea about the latest BRRI released high yielding varieties. There are also some other problems like the farrmers do not use good quality seed, balanced fertilizer, ideal seed bed & also lack of knowledge about mordern rice production technologies.
