12. Strategies adopted Productivity enhancement :  Production of Quality Certified Paddy Seed (3200 mt)  Promotion of SRI method of paddy cultivation  SRR (Seed Replacement Rate)33% in paddy and Varietal replacement  Promotion of Integrated Plant Nutrient Management ( Optimum use of Chemical & Bio-fertilizer, Micronutrient etc)

13. At present 37.2% of paddy area cultivated by SRI method which is contributing 42.1% production in total Rice Production in the State. On an average 18-25% more yield realized through SRI compare to Conventional method year % Area under SRI % SRI production to total Rice Production % yield increase in SRI over Conventional 2007-08 13.0%15.9%25% 2008-09 17.3%19.9%19% 2009-10 25.7%29.3%18% 2010-11 29.3%33.1%19% 2011-12 34.7%38.9%19% 2012-13 37.2%42.1%23% Performance of SRI

14. New Interventions (1)  Crop Diversification in Seasonal Rice Fallow – Area Increase in Pulses, Oilseeds, vegetables & other Crops (73,000 ha)  Sowing /Transplanting of Boro Paddy to be completed of Mid January.  Application of Lime for amelioration of Acid Soils  Productivity enhancement through adoption of Pulse Based Crop Rotation  Mini Modern Rice Mill (2 ton/ hour) supported with 16 ton/ day capacity Par(tially) Boil(ing) unit in each Agri Subdivision to minimize milling loss

15. New Interventions (2)  Popularization of rapid composting (45-60 Days) method at farm household level by using green biomass only.  Tapping of Ground Water Potential – installation of (1081 no)mini deep tube well – to provide Irrigation facilities in 5,000 ha at farm household level  Promotion of organic farming especially in Local aromatic Rice and Local aromatic Moong  Convergence with IWMP and Forest for Efficient use of water area created- for promotion of Pulses and Oilseed cultivation  Farm Mechanization

16. New Interventions (3)  Introduction of Stress Tolerant varieties for Flood prone/ Flash flood areas.  Release of IRRI Developed Paddy HYV – Short and Medium early duration varieties.  ROFR Allotted Land in Agricultural production.  WHD through MNREGA in the Farmers Field  Production of Certified Pulses Seed –Moong, Lentil, Field Pea  COMMUNITY TRANSPLANTING OF SRI PADDY TO REDUCE THE GAP IN TECHNOLOGY ADOPTION.
