Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Adoption of modern rice varieties in Boro, T. Aman and Aus Seasons are 98.68%, 69.39% and 65.19%, respectively. The national overall MV adoption is 69.50%. BRRI dhan29, BRII and Purbachi are the dominant modern rice varieties for Boro, T. Aman, and Aus season, respectively. BRRI dhan29 is the highest yielder in Boro (6.50 t/ha) and Aus (4.13 t/ha) seasons. In case of T. Aman season BR I I also remains as the highest yielder (4.37 t/ha). Lack of quality MV seed was identified as a vital constraint for expansion of MVs in all seasons.

Keywords: Adoption, Modern rice variety, Yield

Location: 18 districts fron 9 agricutural zone

Start Date: 01-07-2003

End Date: 30-06-2004

Program Area: Socio-economic and Policy

Non-commodity: Rice, Adoption of technology

Objectives:

To determine the region-wise adoption rate of different MV rices in Boro, Aus and T. Aman seasons;
To estimate the farm level yield of different modem and local rice varieties and
To evaluate the socio-economic constraints to MV rice adoption in different regions.

Methodology:

Multi-stage stratified random sampling procedure was adopted in selecting the sample farmers. A total of 18 districts were selected from 9 Agricultural regions on the basis of high and low MV adoption. Two thanas from each district were selected each season. This study finally used a sample survey of 360 rice-growing farmers from nine agricultural regions taking 40 farmers from each region. Thus the total sample stands at 1080.

Achievement/Findings:

Adoption of modern rice varietie in Boro, T. Aman and Aus season are 98.68, 69.39 and 65.19% repectively.The national overall a MV adoption is 69.50% and the average yield is 2.43t/ha. BRRI dhan29, BRII and Purbachi are the dominant modern rice varieties for Boro, T. Aman, and Aus season, respectively. BRRI dhan29 is the highest yielder in Boro (6.50 t/ha) and Aus (4.13 t/ha) seasons. In case of T. Aman season BR I I also remains as the highest yielder (4.37 t/ha). Lack of quality MV seed was identified as a vital constraint for expansion of MVs in all seasons.
