Rainfed rice production is low and unstable mainly due to abiotic stresses

3. Strategy Promote stress tolerant varieties
Submergence tolerant
Swarna-Sub1 : Assam, UP, Bihar, WB, Orissa
Samba Mahsuri-Sub1 : UP,
IR 64-Sub1 : UP, Orissa, WB
Drought tolerant
Sahbhagi dhan : UP, Bihar, Orissa, Jharkhand and Chhatishgarh
Salinity tolerant
CSR-36 : UP & Bihar
Promote recommended package of practices suitable for different rice ecologies
Upland rice
Rainfed Low land rice
Rainfed Deep water rice
Irrigated rice

4. Program Technology promotion in compact blocks of 1000 hectares
Rice ecology specific technologies
Emphasis on line sowing/transplantation, land preparation
Hybrid rice promotion
Promotion of resource conservation technologies for wheat crop
Involvement of Progressive farmers
Asset building
Water source development
Shallow tube wells
Borewells and dugwells
Water pump sets
Zero till seed drills
Site specific local needs
Priority to Non NFSM Districts
