Methods to be Adopted to Maximise Rice Production and the Development of Improved Strains of Paddy

Key Points

Increased yields of 15-20% are achievable through improved paddy strains, especially when paired with manuring.
Crop cutting experiments indicate productive capacity can rise up to 33% when improved strains are grown with manures.
A campaign emphasizing intensive manuring in suitable areas may eliminate much of the existing rice deficit.
State-developed strains of paddy are available, tailored for specific regions and growing seasons.

Abstract

The use of improved strains is one of the easiest and cheapest methods of maximising yields as by this method alone it is possible to get 15 to 20% increased yield. From crop cutting experiments it is seen that the productive capacity of the improved strains increases to 33% in combination with manures. In view of the greater response of the improved strains to manures it should be possible to wipe out a great portion of the deficit by a campaign of intensive manuring in areas of assured water supply where the departmental strains are grown. There are now available strains of paddy evolved by the state suitable for the different tracts and for different seasons.
