Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The study was conducted with the objectives to determine region-wise adoption level/rate and assess the level of yield of different MV rices in T. Aman, Boro and Aus seasons; and to evaluate the changes in input costs and return over the years . A Multi-stage stratified random sampling procedure was adopted in selecting the sample farmers. The total sample size 1080 under all seasons (i.e, T. Aman, Boro and Aus seasons)

Keywords: Farm level, Adoption, Modern rice

Location: Eighteen districrs from nine agricultural regions

Start Date: 01-07-2005

End Date: 30-06-2006

Program Area: Socio-economic and Policy

Non-commodity: Rice, Performance

Objectives:

To determine region-wise adoption level/rate and assess the level of yield of different MV rices in T. Aman, Boro and Aus seasons; and
To evaluate the changes in input costs and return over the years

Methodology:

A Multi-stage stratified random sampling procedure was adopted in selecting the sample farmers. A total of 18 districts were selected from nine agricultural regions considering the high and low adoption rate of MV rice. Thereafter two thanas from each district were selected in every season. This study finally used a sample of 360 rice-growing farmers from nine agricultural regions taking 40 farmers from each region. Thus the total sample stands at 1080 under all seasons (i.e, T. Aman, Boro and Aus seasons). However, comparative analysis was done using the data generated by Agril. Economics Division in 1990.Simple statistical technique was applied in analyzing the data,

Achievement/Findings:

BR11 is still the dominant variety in T. Aman season covering 47% area. In Aus season the area coverage of BR3 was the highest (nearly 26%) followed by BRRI dhan28 (11%). In terms of yield, BR10 ranked the top (4.25 t/ha) in T. Aman season while BRRI dhan29 out yielded all other modern varieties with an average yield of 6.2 t/ha in Boro season. Due to intensive adoption of BRRI dhan28 and BRRI dhan29 the macro level yield of MV Boro increased substantially over the period 1990s.
