FOREWORD
Rice is a staple food of majority of the people of India. In many states of the contry,
supply of rice has generally kept pace with the increase in demand, largely due to cultiva-
tion of high yielding varieties/hybrids, expansion of irrigation potential, use of chemical
fertilizers and adoption of improved production technologies. The efforts need to continue
to increase production to feed increasing population with adoption of improved package of
practices through implementing various Crop Development Schemes/Programme in the
country.
The Directorate of Rice Development, Patna has brought out publication “Rice - A
Status Paper” and pooled the scattered information related to the rice. The publication
deals with general scenario of cropping/growing season, crop production, pests manage-
ment, varieties/hybrids and different eco-systems, statistical data, post-harvest technology
and export of rice. In addition to this, various schemes/programmes are being implemented
by the Government of India in different rice growing states. I express my appreciation to
Shri Sanjay Lohiya, Joint Secretary (Crops), Dr. D.P. Malik, Additional Commissioner
(Crops), Dr. M.C. Diwakar, Director, Directorate of Rice Development, Patna and his team
effort in bringing out this valuable publication.
I acknowledge the efforts made in documenting with up to date information on all
aspects of rice. The content of the publication is well organized and gives very valuable
information related to rice. I am sure that the publication would be immense helpful to the
Central and State Governments, Policy makers, researchers, academicians, farming
community and other stakeholders.

PREFACE
“Rice– A Status Paper” has been brought out by the Directorate of Rice
Development, Patna. The objective of this publication is to organize the scattered
informations and also to deal with the recent development of rice verities/hybrids released
rice cultivation, basmati rice, rice development programme, and utilization of by-products
of rice mills. Rice bran oil can contribute significantly to the national production of edible oil
and to reduce exchequer on import of oil. In fact, considerable quantity of rice bran is
available at present in the country which can be extracted and can be used as edible oil.
Rice production in India has been increased during the last 60 years by 5 times from 20.58
million tonnes (1950-51) to 105 million tonnes during 2011-2012.
This status paper has been compiled and would be immense helpful to the
agricultural scientists, planners, traders and farmers as well as Government Organizations
and other line Department.
I am grateful to Dr. D. P. Malik, Additional Commissioner (Crops) and Dr. B.B Singh,
Consultant, Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India, Krishi Bhawan, New Delhi for
constant encouragement, motivation and guiding time to time to bring out this publication. It
is my great pleasure to express my sincere thanks Shri Vipin Kumar, Assistant Director, Dr.
Arvind Kumar, Senior Technical Assistant, Shri Jintu Das, Senior Technical Assistant and

 Rice in India: A Status Paper

Chapter-I
CROP DESCRIPTION

1.1 Origin of rice

1.1.1 Oryza Sativa, it is believed to be associated with wet, humid climate, though it is not
a tropical plant. It is probably a descendent of wild grass that was most likely cultivated in the
foothills of the far Eastern Himalayas. Another school of thought believes that the rice plant may
have originated in southern India, then spread to the north of the country and then onwards
to China. It then arrived in Korea, the Philippines (about 2000 B. C.) and then Japan and Indone-
sia (about 1000 B. C.). When Alexander the Great invaded India in 327 B. C., it is believed that
he took rice back to Greece. Arab travelers took it to Egypt, Morocco and Spain and that is how
it travelled all across Europe. Portugal and Netherlands took rice to their colonies in West Africa
and then it moved to America through the ’Columbian Exchange’ of natural resources. But
as is traditionally known, rice is a slow starter and this is also true to the fact that it took close
to two centuries after the voyage of Columbus for rice to take root in the Americas. Thereafter
the journey of rice continues with the Moors taking it to Spain in 700 A. D. and then the Spanish
brought rice to South America at the beginning of 17th century.

1.1.2 The journey of rice around the world has been slow, but once it took the root it stayed and
became a major agriculture and economic product for the people. In the Indian subcontinent
more than a quarter of the cultivated land is under the rice crop (2011-12). It is a very essential
part of the daily meal in the southern and eastern parts of India. In the northern and central parts
of the subcontinent, where wheat is commonly eaten, rice holds its own importance and
is cooked daily as well as on festivals and special occasions.

1.2 History of Rice in India

1.2.1 India is an important centre of rice cultivation. The rice is cultivated on the largest areas in
India. Historians believe that while the Indica variety of rice was first domesticated in the area

1
covering the foothills of the Eastern Himalayas (i.e. north-eastern India), stretching through
Burma, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Southern China. The japonica variety was domesticated
from wild rice in southern China which was introduced to India. Perennial wild rice still grows
in Assam and Nepal. It seems to have appeared around 1400 BC in southern India after its do-
mestication in the northern plains. It then spread to all the fertilsed alluvial plains watered by
rivers. Some says that the word rice is derived from the Tamil word arisi.

1.2.2 Rice is first mentioned in the Yajur Veda (1500-800 BC) and then is frequently referred to
in Sanskrit texts. In India there is a saying that grains of rice should be like two brothers, close
but not stuck together. Rice is often directly associated with prosperity and fertility; hence there
is the custom of throwing rice at newlyweds. In India, rice is always the first food offered to the
babies when they start eating solids or to husband by his new bride, to ensure they will have
children.

1.2.3 Key points

• Paddy grains found during excavation at Hastinapur (India) around 1000-750 B.C.
considered as an oldest sample in the world.
• Southwest Himalayas has various types and varieties and indicated probable centre of ori-
gin.
• De Condolle (1886) and Watt (1862) mentioned south India is the centre of rice ori-
gin.
• Vavillov suggested that India and Myanmar should be regarded as the centre of origin
of cultivated rice.
• According to D. Chatterjee (1948), there are altogether 24 species of genus Oryza of
which 21 are wild and two viz., Oryza sativa and Oryza glaberrima are cultivated. Oryza
sativa is grown in all rice growing areas, but Oryza glaberrima is confined to the West
Africa only. Thus it indicates that there might have been two centres of origin of our cul-
tivated rice; South-eastern Asia (India, Myanmar and Thailand) and West Africa.

1.2 Importance of Rice

1.2.1 Rice has shaped the culture, diets and economic of thousand of millions of peoples. For
more than half of the humanity “ rice is life”. Considering its importance position, the United
Nation designated year 2004 as the “International Year of rice. Importance of rice are as follows:

a. Rice is an important staple food crop for more than 60 per cent of the world people. In
2008, more than 430 million metric tons of rice was consumed worldwide, according to
the USDA.
b. Ready to eat products eg. popped and puffed rice, instant or rice flakes, canned rice and
fermented products are produced.
c. Rice straw is used as cattle feed, used for thatching roof and in cottage industry for prep-
aration of hats, mats, ropes, sound absorbents, straw board and used as litter material.
d. Rice husk is used as animal feed, for paper making and as fuel source.
e. Rice bran is used in cattle and poultry feed, defatted bran, which is rich in protein, can
be used in the preparation of biscuits and as cattle feed.
f. Rice bran oil is used in soap industry. Refined oil can be used as a cooling medium like
cotton seed oil / corn oil. Rice bran wax, a byproduct of rice bran oil is used in industries.

1.3 Scientific Name

1.3.1 The two major rice varieties grown worldwide today are Oryza sativa var. indica and Ory-
za sativa var. japonica. The two cultivated rice species, Oryza sativa L. and O. glaberrima
Steud., belong to a species group called Oryza sativa complex together with the five wild taxa,
O. rufipogon, O. longistaminata Chev. et Roehr., O. barthii A. Chev., O. glumaepatula Steud.,
and O. meridionalis Ng. Among these taxa, only O. rufipogon produces fertile F1 hybrids with
O. sativa and therefore these two species are considered to belong to a single biological species.
Together with all circumstantial evidence, this suggests that O. rufipogon is the ancestor of O.
sativa. Similarly, it leaves no doubt that O. barthii is the ancestor of African rice O. glaberrima.
Habit and distribution of different species of rice is given in table 1.1

1.4 Botanical Description

The rice plant is a member of Poaceae (old Gramineae) family. The common cultivated rice
plant is an annual which usually grows to a height of a half meter or two meters but there are cer-
tain varieties that grow much taller (6-9 metres). Some deep water rice varieties grow with the

4
gradual rise of the flood water level. Rice plant can be divided into main two parts namely root
system and shoot system:

1.4.1 Root system

When a rice grain germinates in a well drained, upland soil the sheath (coleorhizae) emerges. If it
germinates in submerged low lands, coleoptile emerges ahead of the coleorhizae. The primary,
embryonic roots (radicle) come out through the coleorhiza shortly after it appears. This is fol-
lowed by two or more secondary roots, all of which develop lateral roots. The embryonic roots
later die and are replaced by secondary adventitious roots produced from the underground nodes
of the culm.

1.4.2. Shoot System

Collectively applies to all plant part visible above the ground level. It is mainly composed of
culms, leaves and inflorescence (panicle).

i. Culm: The culm or stem is made up of a series of nodes and internodes. The rice culms
are usually hollows except at the nodes. Each node bears a leaf and a bud. Under favora-
ble conditions buds near ground level grow into tillers. The primary tillers give rise to
secondary tillers which give rise to tertiary tillers.
ii. Leaves: The leaves of rice are sessile in nature. They are borne at an angle, on the culm
in two ranks along the stem, one at each node. The leaf blade is attached to the node by
the leaf sheath. The rice leaf is similar to that of wheat, but is usually distinguished from
it by the length of the ligule. In the rice, ligule is very prominent, usually more than one
centimeter. The leaf number is more on a primary tiller than on the secondary and tertiary
tillers.
iii. Panicle: The rice inflorescence known as panicle is a group of spikelets borne on the up-
permost node of the culm. The primary panicle branch is divided into secondary and
sometimes tertiary branches. These bear the spikelet.
iv. Spikelet: The individual spikelet consists of two outer glumes. All the parts found above
the outer glumes are collectively called floret. It consists of a hard covering the two sec-
tions of which are known as lemma and palea (the glumes) and the complete flower is

5
 between them. The lemma and palea together are known as the “hull”. The rice flower
contains six functioning stamens (male organ) and a pistil (female organ). At the base of
the flower are two transparent structures known as ‘lodicules’. Rice is a self pollinated
crop. When rice flower becomes ready to bloom, the lodicules become turgid and push
the lemma and palea apart, thus allowing the stamens to emerge outside the open floret.
Rupturing of the anthers then leads to the shedding of pollen grains. After the pollen
grains are shed on stigma the lemma and palea close.

1.4.3 Grain (Caryopsis): Rice grain develops after pollination and fertilization are completed.
The grain is tightly enclosed by the lemma and palea. The dehulled rice grain is known as brown
rice as brownish pericarp covers it. The pericarp is the outermost layer which envelopes the ca-
ryopsis and is removed when rice is milled and polished. The embryo lies at the ventral side of
the spikelet next to the lemma. Adjacent to the embryo is a dot like structure the hilum. The emb-
ryo contains the plumule and radicle. The plumule is enclosed by a sheath known as coleoptile
and the radicle by the coleorhizae.

1.5 Nutritional value of Rice

1.5.1 Rice is a nutritional staple food which provides instant energy as its most important com-
ponent is carbohydrate (starch). On the other hand, rice is poor in nitrogenous substances with
average composition of these substances being only 8% and fat content or lipids only negligible,
i.e., 1% and due to this reason it is considered as a complete food for eating. Rice flour is rich in
starch and is used for making various food preperations.

1.5.2 The variability of composition and characteristics of rice is really broad and depends on
variety and environmental conditions under which the crop is grown. In husked rice, protein con-
tent ranges in between 7per cent to 12per cent. The use of nitrogen fertilizers increases the per-
centage content of some amino acids.

1.5.3 The comparative nutritional value of cereals in the table 1.2 showed difference in nutrition-
al content of rice bran and raw rice. The brown rice is rich in some vitamins, especially B1 or
thiamine (0.34 mg/g), B2 or riboflavin (0.05 mg/g), niacin or nicotinic acid (4.7 mg/g). In con-
trast, the white rice is poor in vitamins (0.09 mg of vitamin B1, vitamin B2 0.03 mg and 1.4 mg
of niacin/g) and minerals as they are found mostly in the outer layers of the grain, which are re-
6
moved by polishing process, or "bleaching" whereas parboiled rice is rich in these vitamins as a
result of their particular process.

1.5.4 Cooking procedures can reduce the richness of vitamins and minerals in rice, and in fact,
cooking is usually done with water which is then neglected and much of these nutrients dissolve
in water and get wasted. Rice is strongly recommended in preparing specific diets against sto-
mach and intestinal disease processes as well as feeding the infants and old people due to its
good digestible character.

1.6 Medicinal Value

1.6.1 The immense diversity of rice germplasm is a rich source for many rice based products and
is also used for treating many health related maladies such as indigestion, diabetes, arthritis, pa-
ralysis, epilepsy and give strength to pregnant and lactating mothers. Ancient Ayurvedic litera-
tures testify the medicinal and curative properties of different types of rice grown in India. Medi-
cinal rice varieties like Kanthi Banko (Chhattisgarh), Meher, Saraiphul & Danwar (Orissa), Ati-
kaya & Kari Bhatta (Karnataka), are very common in India. Few varieties cultivated in restricted
pockets of Kerala for their medical properties e.g. Chennellu, Kunjinellu, Erumakkari & Karu-
thachembavu etc.

 1.7 Rice Growing Region in India

1.7.1 Rice is grown under so diverse soil and climatic conditions that it is said that there is hardly
any type of soil in which it cannot be grown including alkaline and acidic soils. Rice crop has
also got wide physical adaptability. Therefore, it is grown from below sea-level (Kuttanad area
of Kerala) upto an elevation of 2000 metres in Jammu & Kashmir, hills of Uttarakhand, Hima-
chal Pradesh and North-Eastern Hills (NEH) areas. The rice growing areas in the country can be
broadly grouped into five regions as discussed below:

i. North-Eastern Region:This region comprises of Assam and North eastern states. In As-
sam rice is grown in the Basin of Brahmnaputra River. This region receives very heavy
rainfall and rice is grown under rain fed condition.
ii. Eastern Region: This region comprises of Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pra-
desh, Orissa, Eastern Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal. In this region rice is grown in the
basins of Ganga and Mahanadi rivers and has the highest intensity of rice cultivation in
the country. This region receives heavy rainfall and rice is grown mainly under rain fed
conditions.
iii. Northern Region: This region comprises of Haryana, Punjab, Western Uttar Pradesh,
Uttrakhand, Himachal Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir. The region experiences low win-
ter temperature and single crop of rice from May-July to September-December is grown.
iv. Western Region: This region comprises of Gujarat, Maharashtra and Rajasthan. Rice is
largely grown under rain fed condition during June-August to October - December.
v. Southern Region: This region comprises of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala and Ta-
mil Nadu. Rice is mainly grown in deltaic tracts of Godavari, Krishna and Cauvery rivers
and the non-deltaic rain fed area of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. Rice is grown under
irrigated condition in deltaic tracts.

Comparative Analysis

2.1. Rice is one of the most important food crops of India. Major share of rice is cultivated dur-
ing Kharif season. A small share of rice is grown in rabi /summer season with assured irrigation.
Indian rice production largely depends on monsoon rains and only 59 per cent rice area has as-
sured irrigation. The area under rice crop during 1st plan was 30.68 m ha which has reached to
44.01 million hectare during 11th plan which is nearly 42.2 per cent higher than the area of 1st
plan. The rice production has registered an appreciable increase from 25.03 m tonnes during 1st
plan to 97.05 tonnes during 11th plan, which is nearly 4 times over the 1st plan. The yield was
816 kg/ha during 1st plan and increased to 2224 kg/ha during 11th plan. Rice production shows a
steady upward trend during 2005-06 to 2008-09. Production declined during 2009-10 due to se-
vere drought, but it reached to 95.98 m tonnes in 2010-11 and further the highest record of
105.31 million tonnes in 2011-12. Sate wise Area, Production and Yield of Rice during 2007-08
to 2011-12 is given in table 2.1 and Table 2.2 Country wise Area, Production and Yield of Total
Rice during 2005 to 2009 is given in table 2.2

Released varieties of rice in India

3.1 More than 430 rice varieties and hybrids have been released and notified in India during
1996-2012 for cultivation in different agro-ecological regions of different states. A list of all the
rice varieties/hybrids with necessary details of their characteristics, regarding state(s) and agro-
ecological zone for which they are recomended has been given in Appendix I.

3.2 The Ramiah Committee (1964), appointed by the Government of India, suggested the follow-
ing five categories of rice grain based on their length and length-breadth ratioare given herewith:

i. Long Slender (LS)

ii. Medium Slender (MS)

iii. Short Slender (SS)

iv Long bold (LB)

Climatic Requirements

In India rice is grown under widely varying conditions of altitude and climate. Rice cultivation in
India extends from 8º N to 35º N latitude and from sea level to as high as 3000 meters above
mean sea level. Rice crop needs a hot and humid climate. It is best suited to regions which have
high humidity, prolonged sunshine and an assured supply of water. The average temperature re-
quired throughout the life period of the crop ranges from 21 to 37º C. Maximum temp which the
crop can tolerate 400 C to 42 0 C.

4.1 Temperature requirements at different stage

Minimum temperature for sprouting is100C, at the time of tillering, the crop requires a high tem-
perature than for growth. Minimum temperature for flowering range from 22-230C. Temperature
requirement for blooming is in the range of 26.5 to 29.5º C. Minimum temperature for grain for-
mation from 20-210C at the time of ripening the temperature should be between 20-25ºC. Photo
periodically, rice is a short- day plant. However, there are varieties which are non-sensitive to
photoperiodic condition.

4.2 Important growing ecology of rice

Rice farming is practiced in several agro ecological zones in India. No other country in the world
has such diversity in rice ecosystems than India. Because the rice cultivation is so widespread in
India, four distinct rice ecosystems have been recognized. These are :

• Irrigated Rice Eco System

• Upland Rice Eco System
• Rainfed Lowland Rice Eco System
• Flood Prone Rice Eco System

4.3 Irrigated Rice Eco System: Irrigated ecosystems are the primarily found in East Asia. Irri-
gated ecosystems provide 75per cent of global rice production. In India, the total area under irri-
gated rice is about 22.00 million hectares, which accounts about 49.5per cent of the total area

15
under rice crop in the country. Rice is grown under irrigated conditions in the states of Punjab,
Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Sikkim, Karnataka,
Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat. Irrigated rice is grown in bunded (embanked) paddy fields.

4.4 Rainfed Upland Rice Eco System: Upland zones are found in Asia, Africa, and Latin Ameri-
ca. In India, the total area under upland rain fed rice in the country is about 6.00 million hectares,
which accounts13.5per cent of the total area under rice crop in the country. Upland rice areas lies
in eastern zone comprising of Assam, Bihar, Eastern M.P., Orissa, Eastern U.P., West Bengal
and North-Eastern Hill region. Upland rice fields are generally dry, unbunded, and directly
seeded. Land utilized in upland rice production can be low lying, drought-prone, rolling, or steep
sloping.

4.5 Rainfed Lowland Rice Eco System: Rainfed low-land rice is grown in such areas as East In-
dia, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Philippines, and Thailand, and is 25per cent of total rice area on
global basis. In India, low land rice area is about 14.4 million hectares, which accounts 32.4 per
cent of the total area under rice crop in the country. Production is variable because of the lack of
technology used in rice production. Rainfed lowland farmers are typically challenged by poor
soil quality, drought/flood conditions, and erratic yields

Flood Prone Rice Eco System: Flood-prone ecosystems are prevalent in South and Southeast
Asia, and are characterized by periods of extreme flooding and drought. Yields are low and vari-
able. Flooding occurs during the wet season from June to November, and rice varieties are cho-
sen for their level of tolerance to submergence.

Basmati rice and its export

5.1 Basmati rice is also known as ‘Queen of Rice and Pearl of Rice’. All aromatic rice is not
basmati. In addition to aroma, the basmati rice has a combination of specific kernel elongation
with minimum breadth wise swelling, fluffiness, palatability, easy digestibility and longer shelf-
life. In order to maintain its status as specially rice, the Ministry of Agriculture, Government of
India, has provided a set of minimum standards for rice varieties to quality as a Basmati variety.
In India Basmati rice is characterized by extra long, superfine slender grains having a length to
breadth ratio of more than 3.5, sweet taste, soft texture, delicate curvature and an extra elonga-
tion with least breadth-wise swelling on cooking. Basmati Rice gives pleasant flavour after cook-
ing. These superfine best quality of Basmati rice are most preferred specially for Biryani and Pu-
lao preparation on special occasion and also meant for high premium value in the national and
international market. Standards for Basmati rice qualification under National Basmati Trials is
given in table 5.1 and Standards of ancillary characters of Basmati rice is given in table 5.2

5.2 Traditional Areas of basmati rice cultivation

Basmati rice is mostly grown traditionally in the areas of north and north western part of Indian
sub-continent for many centuries. The super-fine best quality of Basmati rice is produced on ei-
ther side of Indus valley in India. Its different varieties are mostly cultivated in the districts of
Karnal, Panipat, Kurukshetra, Kaithal, Amritsar, Fatehgarh, Gurudaspur, Hoshiarpur, Jalandhar,
Patiala, Ropar and Sangrur in Punjab; Kangra, Solan, Una, Mandi and Sirmour in Himachal Pra-
desh; Bundi in Rajasthan and in several districts of Uttar Pradesh. Some important districts of
Uttar Pradesh are Saharanpur, Muzaffar Nagar, Piliphit, Bareily, Bijnaur, Moradabad, Jyotiba-
phule Nagar, Rampur, Raibareily, Sitapur and Udham Singh Nagar; Haridwar and Dehradoon in
Uttaranchal. Also, Basmati rice is grown to limited extent in Jammu and Kashmir.

5.4. Export of rice

5.4.1 Basmati Rice: India is exporting Basmati Rice to various countries in the world. A
total quantity of 7.087 lakh tones of basmati rice was exported to different countries from
India during 2002-03. However, the export increased to 31.781 lakh tonnes during 2011-12,
registering an increase 348 per cent during the last 10 years. The export increased during
2010-12 to 2012-13 and a total quantity from 31.45 to 34.61 lakh tones, registering an in-
crease of 10.04 per cent.

19
The export earnings from basmati rice decreased during 2006-07 over previous year. Thus,
export earnings decreased by 8.22 per cent during 2006-07 as compared to 2005-06. During
2002-03 export earnings from the export of basmati rice was Rs. 2054.47 crores, which in-
creased significantly to Rs.18985.37 crores during 2012-13, registering an increase of
824.10 per cent over 2002-03.

5.4.2 Non-Basmati Rice: India is also exporting substantial quantity of non-basmati rice to
various countries in the world. However, the export of non-basmati rice has been fluctuating
year to year due to Govt. policy. The export of non-basmati rice from India during 2002-03
was 42.59 lakh tonnes, the export rose to 52.86 lakh tones during 2007-08 and it came
down to 1.006 lakh tones during 2010-11. The export of non basmati rice again increased
during 2012-13 with 66.92 lakh tones of export.

During 2002-03, export earning from the export of non-basmati rice was Rs. 3772.77 crores
and it increased to Rs.7410.03 crores during 2007-08 registering the increase of 96.40%.
The export earning during 2009-10 & 2010-11 were Rs. 365.3 crores & Rs. 231.29 crores
respectively. During 2011-12, export earning of non-basmati rice was Rs. 8659.126 crores
the registering the increase in earning to 129.52% over the year 2002-03.

India has exported total rice (basmati and non-basmati rice) to various countries in the world to a
tune of 101.53 lakh tones with export earning of Rs.32951.56 crores during 2012-13. Thailand has
been the world’s leading exporter of basmati and non-basmati rice for decades. However, due to
farmers support price policy locally called pledging price, Thai rice exports have fallen during 2012
and it is estimated that India exported 10 million tones of rice both basmati and non-basmati rice
which is the largest in the world followed by Vietnam 7.2 million tones and Thailand 6.5 million
tones. Export of Basmati and Non Basmati Rice during 1991-92 to2012-13 is given in table 5.4

 CHAPTER- 6
Genetic Potential

6.1 Molecular Breeding

There are several ways to alter presently existing rice varieties. Now, marker-assisted methods
can be used to select the wanted genes within a species or in transgenic alien genes can be used
to get particular traits. Before molecular markers came on the scene, the evaluation of genetic
factors associated with dominant traits was done using biometrical methods. The advantage with
rice is that, since rice whole genome sequence is readily available it can be used to identify genes
that are responsible for significant phenotypic variation.

6.2 Super rice

Scientists at the International Rice Research Institute in the Philippines have developed “Super
Rice" a high-yielding rice genotype for the future which increases harvests by 25 percent. It is far
less bushy as each plant consists of only 10 stems or so in comparison with 20 to 25 tillers of the
traditional rice plant. Besides that, a single super rice plant can produce 2,500 grains of rice
compared to 1,500 grains from conventional plant.

6.3 Herbicide Tolerance Rice

Repeated use of herbicides in rice fields often leads to the growth of herbicide resistant weeds.
There are hundreds of these weeds and especially Oryza rufipogon and Echinochloa crusgalli
cause the maximum problems. This means that, the rice farmers have to alternatively use several
herbicides or mixtures of different herbicides with no guarantee that these herbicides would be
harmful to the rice plant as well.

As herbicide tolerance was often due to a single gene, the idea has been to create rice plants with
the mammalian P450 enzyme that could detoxify several of these herbicides and make these rice
plants tolerant to herbicides. Now, a transgenic rice plant with human gene CYP2B6 not only
give good yields but also shows high herbicide tolerance capacity. They could detoxify several
herbicides such as thiocarbamates, oxyacetamides and 2, 6-dinitroanilines. Such varieties will be
extremely useful in weed control labor costs saving for weeding.

22
6.4 Insecticides resistance rice variety

Bt proteins have been successful against some insects but have failed against building resistance
to larvae of Scirpophaga incertulans an important insect in Asian rice fields. To solve this prob-
lem the introduction Bt genes into rice is reckoned as a possibility so that they can produce tox-
ins that combat the insects. Like all proteins, Bt toxins are coded for by genes (stretches of DNA
found in the cells) and only a single gene encodes each Bt toxin. Other pests that need to be
countered are yellow stem border caterpillar, and Chilo suppressalis (found in temperate areas).
So bio-technology helps in avoiding the use of insecticides that harm both the environment and
the farmers.

6.5 Nutrition value

Using genetic engineering techniques rice varieties can be genetically modified to produce beta-
carotene (pro-Vitamin A) in the seed endosperm tissue. Golden Rice varieties (having gene that
produces vitamin A) are being developed. Although the precise amount of beta-carotene that
Golden Rice variety can produce is not clear, the fact remains that it could still be beneficial to
millions of people with Vitamin-A deficiency that could possibly lead to blindness. Similarly
research is underway to fortify rice with iron using molecular assisted breeding techniques as it
could help reduce anemia in women. These efforts are particularly important, as rice being a
staple food of the masses.

Crop Production Practices

7.1 Methods of rice cultivation

In India rice is mainly grown in two types of soils i.e. (i) uplands and (ii) low lands. The methods
of cultivation of rice in a particular region depends largely on factors such as situation of land,
type of soils, irrigation facilities, availability of labourers, intensity and distribution of rainfalls.
The crop of rice is grown with the following methods:-

(i) Dry or Semi-dry upland cultivation

(a) Broadcasting the seed (b) Sowing the seed behind the plough or drilling.

(ii) Wet or lowland cultivation

(a) Transplanting in puddled fields. (b) Broadcasting sprouted seeds in puddled fields.

7.2 Selection of Seeds

The use of quality seeds in cultivation of rice is an important factor to get better crop yield.
Therefore, proper care has to be taken in selecting the best quality seed of the recommended va-
riety. Seeds intended for sowing should satisfy the following requirements:

a. The seed should belong to the proper variety, which is proposed to be grown.

b. The seed should be clean and free from obvious mixtures of other seeds.

c. The seed should be mature, well developed and plump in size.

d. The seed should be free from obvious signs of age or bad storage

e. The seed should have a high germinating capacity.

Before sowing the seed should be treated with fungicides which protects the seed against soil-
born fungi and also give a boost to the seedlings establishment and growth.

24
7.3 Methods of Nursery Raising

There are three major methods of raising nursery - viz.

i. The dry nursery where the dry seed is sown in dry soil. This method is practiced in areas
where water is not sufficient to grow seedlings in wet nursery
ii. Wet nursery where sprouted seed is sown on the moist puddled soil. Wet nurseries are
preferred under irrigated condition
iii. And the "dapog" method. This method of raising nursery has been introduced in India
from Philippines.

"Dapog" method is commonly prevalent in Philippines. The essential feature of this method is to
have a very thick stand of the nursery seedlings without any contact with the soil. Generally,
seedlings become ready for transplanting in 12 to 14 days.

7.4 Seed Rate

The seed rate naturally influences the growth of the seedlings. Thin sowing gives strong and til-
lered seedlings, whereas thick sowing provides thin and tall seedlings without tillers. Thin sow-
ing in nurseries is always better and it will produce strong and sturdy seedlings, which can with-
stand adverse climatic conditions better and produce better yields. Therefore, 40 to 60 grams of
seed per square metre should be sown in the nursery beds. About 500 square meter area of nur-
sery is sufficient to transplant one hectare area. In case of late sowing of nursery, the nursery
area should be increased to 750-1000 square meter.

7.5 Transplanting

Before transplanting, field should be puddled properly with bullock or tractor drawn puddlers.
Puddling helps to kill the weeds and buries them in puddled soils. It also suppresses the germina-
tion of weeds in subsequent growing period of crop. Puddling keeps the soil surface in a more
even condition, besides creating beneficial physical, biological and chemical conditions for rice
plant growth.

Transplanting should be done with proper age of seedlings. In case of short duration varieties,
the seedlings should be uprooted from the nursery beds for transplanting, when it is three to four
25
weeks old. In case of medium and long duration varieties, four to five weeks old seedlings may
be transplanted. Always healthy seedlings should be used for transplanting at the four to five leaf
stage or when they are about 15-20 cms. High. As far as possible, delayed transplanting should
be avoided because it leads to poor tillerings, early flowering of the main tillers and resulting in
reduction in yield. In alkaline soils seedlings of 45 days old should be transplanted because old
seedlings establish better than young seedlings.

7.6 Spacing

Under good management and adequate nitrogen levels, the optimum spacing for varieties like
IR-8 should be around 20 x10 cms both for kharif and rabi crops. With excellent cultural practic-
es, the spacing may be slightly wider, say 20 x15 cms but under sub-normal conditions, the spac-
ing should be slightly narrower, say 15 x10 cms.

7.7 Number of Seedlings per Hill

Transplanting two to three seedlings per hill under normal conditions is enough. The use of more
seedlings per hill, besides not of any additional advantage, involves an extra expense on seedl-
ings. In case of transplanting with old seedlings, the number of seedlings per hill can be in-
creased.

7.8 Depth of Planting and Directions of Rows

The high yielding varieties are characterized with high tillering capacity. The high tillering po-
tential of these varieties is, however, best expressed with shallow planting. The tiller buds
formed at the basal node are not suppressed in case of shallow plantings. Therefore, the seedlings
should be transplanted at 2 to 3 cm depth. Shallow planting gives better yields. The deeper plant-
ing results in an increased height of the plants besides delays and inhibits tillering. The crop
planted with rows running in the north-south direction generally gives better yield particularly in
rabi season.

7.9 Practices in the Direct-Seeded Crops

The success of the direct seeded rice depends entirely on the monsoon rains, besides proper stand
of crop. If sowing is done in a properly prepared land, proper stand of crop can be achieved. A
26
field with fine tilth facilitates the seed to come in contact with the soil moisture after drilling and
enables the seed to germinate quickly and uniformly. Thus, an ideal preparation of the land will
help to achieve a uniform stand, facilitate weeding and fertilizer practices. Therefore, with proper
ploughings of the field and timely sowing, the direct seeded crop generally gives better yield.

7.10 Different Methods of Seeding

Seeding is done in three different ways - viz. (i) drilling i.e. sowing in the furrow behind a
plough, (ii) dibbling and (iii) broadcasting. The light soils which generally come into conditions
quickly, any method can be adopted. Seeding with drilling method has got a greater advantage
over other methods, because of the uniformity of the stand and the control of the population of
the plants per unit area. Heavy soils which do not come in conditions quickly, other methods ex-
cept broadcasting are not feasible. It has been found that drilling or dibbling always gives consi-
derably better yields than broadcasting system.

7.11 Broadcasting Sprouted Seeds in Puddled Land

This method is adopted in an area where agricultural labourers are not easily available for trans-
planting or some time labourers are very expensive. In this method field is prepared and puddled
just like in the case of transplanting. About 100 kg seed is required for one hectare area. In the
puddled field sprouted seeds with radical length of one to two milimeter are uniformly broadcast
by hand.

7.12 Manure and Fertilizer Application

7.12.1 Organic manures are as much as important for rice cultivation as inorganic ferti-
lizers. In case of upland rice cultivation, the use of bulky organic manure is very much
desirable in order to maintain the physical condition of the soil and also to increase the
water holding capacity of the soil for maximum utilization of rain water. In upland fields,
10-15 tonnes of well rotten Farm Yard Manure or compost should be applied in one hec-
tare area preferably 4 to 6 weeks before sowing. Organic manures should be spread even-
ly on the upper surface of the soil and ploughed in to get it well mixed in the soil.

27
7.12.2 Application of chemical fertilizers depends basically upon (i) fertility status of the
field and (ii) previous crop grown and amount of organic manure applied. Before decid-
ing the fertilizer dose, soil test is advised to know the status of the nitrogen, phosphorus
and potassium in the soil. After testing the soil, fertilizer dose should be calculated accor-
dingly.

Soil fertility status varies in different agro climatic zones to a considerable extent. There-
fore, common fertilizer dose cannot be recommended for all regions. The Department of
Agriculture of various states and State Agriculture Universities formulate fertilizer rec-
ommendations for rice crop in their states keeping in view the variability in soil fertility
and local conditions.

7.12.3 Due to variation in soil fertility, rainfall and climatic condition, a common dose of
fertilizer can not be recommended for all regions. However, in general a level of 30 to 40
kg of nitrogen per hectare in kharif and 60 to 80 kg of nitrogen per hectare in rabi appears
to be the optimum dose for the tall indicas and double that level for the high yielding va-
rieties on soils of average fertility in the southern and eastern regions. In the northern re-
gion, where sunshine is available for longer hours, higher dose of nitrogen is beneficial in
the kharif season.

7.12.4 The maximum efficiency can be obtained in the direct seeded upland rice by ap-
plying 50 per cent nitrogen dose, three weeks after seeding, 30 per cent at 45 days age
and the rest at the boot-leaf stage. In order to obtain better results, full dose of phospho-
rus, potash and half dose of nitrogen should be applied before last puddling. Remaining
half dose of nitrogen should be applied in two equal doses, first at tillering stage and
second dose at panicle initiation stage.

7.12.5 Application of fertilizer in transplanted rice field is quite different from upland
rice. A series of physical, chemical and biological reactions take place in transplanted
rice fields due to presence of excess water in the field. In the root zone, anaerobic envi-
ronment is formed from aerobic condition due to depletion of oxygen in the soil profile,
which is responsible for gaseous loss of nitrogen fertilizer due to de-nitrification process.

28
 This anaerobic environment also affects the behavior of phosphorus and micro-nutrients
especially iron and manganese.

7.12.6 The soil in the transplanted rice fields after puddling develops two zones in water
logged conditions. The upper layer of soils (1 to 10 mm thick) generally receives oxygen
periodically from fresh supplies of irrigation water and turns in to brown colour called
"Oxidised zone" and reacts like an unflooded upland soil. The remaining lower portion of
puddled soil without oxygen is called "reduced zone". When ammonical nitrogen fertiliz-
er is applied in such soils, it gets oxidised to nitrate (NO3) form in the oxidised zone (up-
per surface layer of the soil). Afterwards nitrate nitrogen is leached down to the reduced
zone and further gets denitrified to gaseous nitrogen. This gaseous nitrogen is lost. If
ammonical nitrogen is incorporated in to the reduced zone of the soil, where it is held, the
loss can be prevented. Fertilizers containing nitrogen in the nitrate form are more suscept-
ible to loss of nitrogen through leaching and de-nitrification process. Therefore, ammoni-
cal form of nitrogen is found more beneficial for rice crop.

7.13 Water Management

The water requirement of rice crop is comparatively higher than any other crop of the similar du-
ration. Assured and timely supply of irrigation water has a considerable influence on the yield of
the crop. During the crop growth period, the water requirement is generally high at the initial
seedling establishment stage. After the transplanting, water should be allowed to stand in the
field at a depth of two to five centimeters till the seedlings are well established. The most critical
stage for adequate water availability for rice crop is tillering to flowering and in this period the
crop should not be subjected to soil moisture stress. The water supply should be ensured in re-
quired amount during panicle initiation to flowering stage. About five centimeters depth of water
should be maintained in the field up to the dough stage of the crop. Before harvesting, water
should be drained out from the field to allow quick and uniform maturity of grain.

7.14 Harvesting and Threshing

The quality paddy and rice depends to a great extent, on the harvesting of the crop at the correct
maturity stage. Harvesting of the crop when it is not fully matured might result in loss of yield

29
with poor quality grains. If harvesting is delayed, losses may be incurred due to damage by rats,
birds, insects, shattering and lodging. Thus, timely harvesting ensures better yield, good quality
of grains, consumer acceptance and less breakage when milled. The right stage for harvesting as
commonly understood by layman is when panicles turn into golden yellow and the grains contain
about 20 per cent moisture. When the moisture in the paddy grains reaches 16-17 percent in the
standing crop in the fields, the crop sustains a heavy loss owing to shattering and damage by
birds and rodents. The traditional methods of threshing of paddy are trampling by bullocks or
lifting the bundles and striking them on the raised wooden platform. Now pedal threshers are be-
ing used. Power driven stationary threshers are also used for quick threshing.

7.15 Rice Growing Season in India:

7.15.1 In India rice is grown under widely varying conditions of altitude and climate.
Therefore, the rice growing seasons vary in different parts of the country, depending
upon temperature, rainfall, soil types, water availability and other climatic conditions.
Two or three crops of rice are grown in a year in eastern and southern states due to mod-
erate mean temperatures. In northern and western parts of the country, where rainfall is
high and winter temperature is fairly low, only one crop of rice is grown during the
month from May to November. There are three seasons for growing rice in India viz. -
autumn, winter and summer. These three seasons are named according to the season of
harvest of the crop. Autumn rice is known as pre-kharif rice. The sowing of pre-kharif
rice is taken up during May to August. However, the time of sowing slightly differs from
state to state according to weather condition and rainfall pattern. It is harvested in Sep-
tember-October. Autumn rice crop is known as 'Aus' in West Bengal, 'Ahu' in Assam,
'Beali' in Orissa, 'Bhadai' in Bihar, 'Virippu' in Kerala and 'Kuruvai/kar/ Sornavari' in
Tamil Nadu. About 7 per cent of rice crop is grown in this season. The varieties grown
during this season are mostly short duration ranging from 90 to 110 days.

7.15.2 The main rice growing season in the country is the 'Kharif'. It is known as winter
rice as per the harvesting time. The sowing time of winter (kharif) rice is June-July and it
is harvested in November-December. Winter rice is known as 'Aman' in West Bengal,
'Sali' in Assam, 'Sarrad' in Orissa, 'Agahani' in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, 'Sarava' in

30
 Andhra Pradesh, 'Mundakan' in Kerala and 'Samba/Thaladi' in Tamil Nadu. About 84
percent of the country's rice crop is grown in this season and generally, medium to long
duration varieties are grown in this season.

7.15.3 Summer rice is called as Rabi rice. It is known as 'Boro' in Assam and West Ben-
gal, 'Dalua'in Orissa, 'Dalwa' in Andhra Pradesh, 'Punja' in Kerala and 'Navarai' in Tamil
Nadu and 'Garma' in Bihar. The sowing time of summer rice is November to February
and harvesting time is March to June. The area under summer rice is only 9 per cent and
early maturing varieties are mostly grown in this season.

CROPPING PATTERNS

India has a wide range of soil and climatic conditions and cropping pattern vary widely from re-
gion to region and to a lesser extent from one year to another year. In fact for deviding cropping
patterns, it is necessary to divide the country into homogeneous regions based on physical, cli-
matological or agronomic. While making division, the climatic index and the soil group may be
taken into consideration. The soil and the climate are the important factors for adoption of crop-
ping patterns, hence they constitute a better criterion for crop-zoning. Adoption of high yielding
varieties on a large scale, increased use of fertilizers, plant protection chemicals and expansion in
irrigated areas led to shifting in areas towards crops in which the impact of improved production
technology on yield was apparent. Area under rice as proportion of total cropped area is about 26
per cent (2011-12).

8.1 Rice Cropping Patterns

The cropping pattern in different Agro-climatic zones has been adopted by the farmers after long
experience based on suitability of soil, profitability, availability of market and industrial infra-
structure and quantum of water available. Techniques such as relay cropping, inter cropping,
mixed cropping, minimum tillage, weed control and use of fertilizers and pesticides have helped
not only in reducing the cost of cultivation but also in sustaining high level of production over a
period of time. Scientific cropping patterns can actually result in increased soil productivity by
improving the physical, chemical and micro-biological properties of soils and increasing the fer-
tility status. Some of the rice based cropping patterns being followed in the country are discussed
below:

8.1.1 Rice-Rice - Rice This crop rotation is most suitable for areas having high rainfall and
assured irrigation facilities in summer months, particularly, in soils which have high water
holding capacity and low rate of infiltration. In some canal irrigated areas of Tamil Nadu, a
rice cropping pattern of 300per cent intensity is followed. In such areas three crops of rice
are grown in a year.

33
8.1.2 Rice –Rice -Cereals (other than rice) This cropping pattern is being followed in the
areas where the water is not adequate for taking rice crop in summer. The alternate cereal
crops to rice being grown are Ragi, Maize and Jowar.

8.1.3 Rice –Rice -Pulses In the areas where, there is a water scarcity to take up cereal crops
other than rice in summer, the short duration pulse crops are cultivated.

8.1.4 Rice -Groundnut This cropping pattern is being followed by the farmers of Andhra
Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. After harvesting of rice crop, groundnut is grown in sum-
mer.

8.1.5 Rice -Wheat This crop rotation has become dominant cropping pattern in the North-
ern parts of the country. Among the different cropping patterns followed in the country,
rice-wheat cropping pattern is the largest one. The rice-wheat cropping pattern is being prac-
ticed in the Indo-Gangetic plains of India since long time.

8.1.6 Rice -Wheat-Pulses In this sequence of cropping pattern, after harvesting of wheat,
green gram and cowpea as fodder are grown in the alluvial soil belt of Northern states. Be-
sides, cowpea is grown in red and yellow soils of Orissa and black gram is grown in the
black soils.

8.1.7 Rice -Toria-Wheat This crop sequence is commonly followed in Northern parts of
the country. A short duration toria crop is raised between the period after harvest of short
duration rice and wheat sowing.

8.1.8 Rice -Fish farming system The field with sufficient water availability for a long pe-
riod and free from heavy flooding are suitable for rice-fish farming system. This system is
being followed by the small and marginal farmers in rain fed lowland rice areas. A good
rice-fish farming system can be seen in Zero district of Arunanchal Pradesh. The farmers in
this region take a modest crop of traditional low yielding rice varieties along with fish cul-
ture.

Rice Milling and It’s Products

9.1 Rice Milling

Paddy in its raw form can not be consumed by human beings. It needs to be suitably processed
for obtaining rice. Rice milling is the process which helps in removal of hulls and bran from
paddy grains to produce polished rice. Rice forms the basic primary processed product obtained
from paddy and this is further processed for obtaining various secondary and tertiary products.
The basic rice milling processes consist of Pre Cleaning, De-stoning, Parboiling, Husking, Husk
Aspiration (Separating the husk from brown rice/ unhusked paddy), Paddy Separation (Separat-
ing the unhusked paddy from brown rice), Whitening ( Removing all or part of the bran layer
and germ from brown rice), Polishing (Improving the appearance of milled rice by removing
the remaining bran particles and by polishing the exterior of the milled kernel), Length Grading
(Separating small and large brokens from head rice), Blending (Mixing head rice with predeter-
mined amount of brokens, as required by the customer), Weighing and bagging (Preparing the
milled rice for transport to the customer).

9.2 Types of Rice Mill

Many of the rice processing units in India are of the traditional huller type and are inefficient.
Modern rice mills are having high capacity and are capital intensive, although efficient small
modern rice mills have been developed. Most of the small size mills are huller mills. Other vari-
ous types are Battery of Huller mills, Huller-cum-Sheller mills, Sheller mills and modern mills.
The process for modernization of rice milling industry in the country was initiated in 1970 with a
view to obtain higher yields of rice and better quality of by-products such as bran and husk, suit-
able for edible oil/industrial oil extraction and as a source of fuel respectively.

9.3 Traditional Method

Before the advent of mechanical milling, hand-pounding traditional method of rice milling was
in practice. In fact, hand-pounding rice has got more nutritive value as compared to machine mil-
ling rice. In hand-pounding, a variety of implements is used such as:
35
 • Mortor and Pestle
• Dhenki
• Hand Stone (Chakki)

9.4 Mechanical Method

With the introduction of mechanized mills, hand-pounding method has steadily decreased be-
cause it could not compete with machine mills. The conventional mills in use can be categorized
into three main types:

• Huller mills
• Sheller-Huller mills
• Sheller cum Cone Polisher mills.

9.5 Rice Products

Rice is the primary source of carbohydrates and protein besides, rice also contains small quanti-
ties of fat, ash, fibre and moisture. Vitamins and mineral are present largely in bran and germ. Its
byproducts form important components of poultry and dairy feed. The byproducts which we get
from paddy milling are rice bran and husk. The amount of rice bran is approximately five per
cent of paddy processed. The rice bran is a pericarp or outer cuticle layer that remains beneath
the hull. It gets removed during the milling process. About two decades back, rice bran was con-
sidered almost a waste and hence most of it was burnt. It is now viewed to have high nutritive
value. Being rich in protein and natural Vitamin B, rice bran is used as a cattle feed. The rice
bran processing has now gained momentum, with increasing consumer demand for bran oil, ex-
tracted from bran.

9.6 Use of Rice and it’s by products like rice husk, rice bran and paddy straw

Rice plant produces approximately 50 per cent rough rice and another 50 per cent straw on
weight basis. The rough rice, on milling, produces brown rice, milled rice, germ, bran, broken
and husk. Each of these components has unique properties and can be used in a number of ways.
The utilization pattern of these components directly or as derivatives decides the extent of value
addition in rice.

36
9.6.1. Utilization of Rice Straw

At farmers levels, rice straw is mainly used for thatching, as cattle feed and the woody
portion as fuel. Sometimes a portion of the straw is ploughed back in to the soil to be
reused as bio-fertilizer. In handicraft industry, rice straw is used in making certain fancy
products like bags, wall hanging etc. Rice straw along with others fibrous materials can
be used to prepare pulp for making boards and papers. Rice straw is cut in to pieces and
then used for making beds for growing mushroom.

9.6.2 Utilization of Paddy

Paddy is mainly used for consumption as whole milled rice either in raw or parboiled
condition.

Beaten rice is a value added products made from paddy and is popular in all parts of In-
dia. People of all age groups from all sections like it and thus it is a mass consumption
item. Paddy when directly propped in hot sand produces a white expanded product called
khai. After removing the husk, it is consumed as a snack food.

9.6.3 Utilization of brown rice

When the outer most layer of paddy (husk) is removed, the resultant product is the brown
rice. It is rich in vitamin B1, B2, B3, B6 and iron as compared to polished white rice.
Brown rice can be stored well in hermetic storage or freezing condition.

9.6.4 Utilization of polished white rice

Polished white rice is mainly consumed as a staple food after cooking. A few value added
product like quick cooking rice and rice cake can be produced from this white rice.

9.6.5 Utilization of parboiled rice

Parboiled rice is also consumed as a staple food in many parts of India. Value of this
product mainly depends on its quality in terms of size (short & long), colour, texture,
smell etc. The few value added products that can be made from parboiled rice are: quick

37
 cooking parboiled rice and puffed rice. Furthur value can be added to the puffed rice by
making puffed rice balls with jaggery and other ingredients.

9.6.6 Utilization of rice broken

The broken rice which brings one third the value of whole rice grain in the market for
direct consumption such as in the form of Idli/ Dosa or sold as poultry feed. This low
value material can be converted into several value added products like rice noodles, ver-
micelli, rice alcohol, rice flour and rice ethanol. Rice flour is used in many foods includ-
ing baby foods, chips and crackers. The unique properties of rice flour also make it a
prime candidate for producing resistant starch, a food ingredient that acts like a fiber in
the human body and thus provides the health benefits of fiber. Gluten free rice bread is a
highly popular value-added product made from rice broken on old rice stocks in Japan.

9.6.7 Utilization of rice husk

Potential availability of rice husk in the country as a by-product of milling industry is

about 24 million tons annually. As a renewable resource, its proper utilization would add
enough value to the rice crop. The two major components like carbon & silica present in
the rice husk make it possible to develop several value added products.

(a) Direct use of husk

Use of husk for production of thermal energy using various types of furnaces is
quite common these [Link] other uses of husk areas soil mulch, poultry litter,
making particle board, insulation material, packing material etc.

(b) Products based on carbon compounds

It is possible to convert the carbon compounds by a process similar to dry distilla-

tion of wood such as producer gas, furfural, activated charcoal, lignins, oxalic acid
and bear like beverage.

38
 ( c ) Products based on silica content

Silica is extracted from rice husk either in the form of sodium silicate or by burning
the husk as fuel to produce ash, which mostly contains silica. Crude ash obtained
from husk fired furnace is used as insulation covers for steel ingots, abrasives in
metal cleaning, carrier for fungicides, insecticides and catalysts, floor sweeping aid,
light weight refractory bricks, lime silica bricks and sodium silicate. High purity si-
lica for production of sintered glass ware can be obtained from husk ash by acid
leaching. High purity silicon powder can be produced by reducing the high purity
husk silica by metals like magnesium or calcium.

9.6.8 Utilization of rice bran:

Rice bran is the most valuable by-product of rice milling industry. It contains 18-20 % of
fat, 14-15 % protein and to some extent of minerals and vitamins. Usually solvent extrac-
tion method is employed to extract oil from rice bran. Maximum cash benefit is therefore
possible through judicious use of rice bran in a variety of ways. The crude rice bran oil
can be used for manufacturing of soap, enamel paints, varnishes, detergent, metal soap
and squalene (for skin disease) can be extracted from crude bran oil.

The edible grade rice bran oil can be prepared by refining the crude oil in order to make
the refining process economical, the oil may either be extracted or the bran should be sta-
bilized immediately after its removal from brown rice. The free fatty acid of rice bran
other wise increases very rapidly owing to the presence of lipase making the oil uneco-
nomical for refining. Stabilization can be done either by acid treatment or dry/wet heat
treatment. De-oiled bran is most commonly used as animal feed or as fertilizer.

STORAGE

11.1 Rice storage facilities take many forms depending on the quantity of grain to be stored,
the purpose of storage, and the location of the store. In general, it is recommended that rice for
food purposes be stored in paddy form rather than milled rice as the husk provides some protec-
tion against insects and helps to prevent quality deterioration. However, when rice is stored as
brown rice, 20% less storage capacity is needed

The requirements for a good storage system include

• Prevention of moisture re-entering the grain after drying

• Protection from insects, rodents and birds

• Ease of loading and unloading.

• Efficient use of space

• Ease of maintenance and management.

11. 2 Safe Storage Conditions for Grain

Safe storage of rice for longer periods is possible if three conditions are met:

• Grain is maintained at moisture levels of 14% or less and seed is stored at 12% or less

• Grain is protected from insects, rodents and birds

• Grain is protected from re-wetting by rain or imbibing moisture from the surrounding air.

Grain and seed stored at moisture contents above 14% may experience the growth of molds, rap-
id loss of viability and a reduction in eating quality. The following table shows the ‘safe’ mois-
ture content required for different storage periods.

49
 Storage period Required moisture content for Potential problems
safe storage
2 to 3 weeks 14 – 18 % Molds, discoloration, respiration loss
8 to 12 months 12- 13 % Insect damage
More than 1 9 % or less Loss of viability
year

A rule of thumb for seed is that the life of the seed will be halved for every 1% increase in mois-
ture content or a 5oC increase in storage temperature.

11.3 Grain Storage systems

Grain storage systems can be classified as

(a) Bag storage system In most parts of Asia grain is stored in 40-80 kg bags made from either
jute or woven plastic. Depending on the size of storage, these bags are normally formed into
a stack. When using bag storage consideration needs to be given to the following:

• Jute bags should not be stacked higher than 4 m and plastic bags 3 m. Plastic bags are
more slippery and the stacks will be less stable

• Bags should be stacked under cover e.g. under a roof, in a shed or granary or under wa-
ter proof tarpaulins

• A one meter gap should be left between and around stacks and 1.5 meters clearance be-
tween the top of the stack and the roof

• Bags should be stacked on pallets or on an above ground structure to avoid the possibili-
ty of absorbing moisture from the floor.

• Bags should not be stacked on a bed of rice husks or bags filled with rice husks, as these
are difficult to keep free from insect infestation.

• Bags should be stacked so that fumigation can be undertaken easily. The dimensions of
the stacks should be set to facilitate sealing with a single fumigation sheet.

50
 • The efficiency of bag storage can be improved if a plastic liner bag is used inside the ex-
isting storage bag especially for seed and milled rice

• Some farmers use bag storage in outside granaries, which have been constructed from
timber or mud/cement or large woven bamboo or palm leaves.

(b) Bulk storage At farm level grain is often stored in bulk in small outside granaries or in wo-
ven baskets or containers made from wood, metal or concrete, which are located under or
inside the house. These storages vary in capacity from 200-1000 kg. Losses from insects,
rodents, birds and moisture uptake are usually high in traditional bulk storage systems.

(c) Hermetic Sealed storage Sealed or hermetic storage systems are a very effective means of
controlling grain moisture content and insect activity for grain stored in tropical regions.
Sealed storage containers come in all shapes and sizes. They may range from a small plastic
container, a sealed 200-liter drum to the more complex and costly sealed plastic commercial
storage units. Recent technological advances in plastic manufacturing have led to the de-
velopment of PVC liners that provide the required durability to climate, gas permeability
and physical properties that enable airtight storage for extended periods of time.

For storage of small seed lots a variety of plastic bags or packages can be used. Different
types of plastic have different resistance against transmission of water vapor. Glass jars,
hard PVC or bags containing aluminum liners or a gas barrier will provide the best protec-
tion against moisture re-entry.

11.4 Major Storage Pests in Rice

Rice storage pests include insects, pathogens, rodents and birds. These pests cause losses
through a combination of feeding, spoiling and contamination of both paddy and milled
grain.

Many different species of insects are found in rice but only a few are major pests. Insects
in stored rice can be classified as either primary or secondary insects. Primary Insects:
These are insects whose larvae feed entirely within the kernels of the grain. These include
the rice weevil, angoumois grain moth and lesser grain borer. Secondary Insects are insects

51
 that feed from the outside of the grain even though they may chew through the outer coat
and devour the inside. Two of the more prevalent secondary insects are the Saw-toothed
Grain Beetle and the Rust-red flour beetle

11.5 Management of storage insects

The management of stored grain pests should be done in a sequential and integrated manner.
An effective pest control system involves

• Harvesting, drying and storage of clean dry grain

• Disinfecting the storage system and

• Controlling or preventing pest infestation during the storage period.

11.6 Harvesting, drying and storage

Grain must be dried to at least 14% moisture (wet basis) and seed grain should be dried
to12% moisture before storage. Grain needs to be harvested and dried so that it will not
cause cracking of the grain, as cracked grains are easier for insects to infest. This requires:

• Harvesting and threshing at the correct stage of maturity (20-25% moisture con-
tent)

• Drying the grain at a rate and temperature that will not damage the grain. The first
stage of drying from 25% moisture to 18% can be done at high temperatures e.g.
above 50-60oC. After this the grain needs tempering or cooling for at least 4
hours. Drying from 18% to 14% moisture should be much slower and the temper-
ature should not exceed 42o C.

11.7 When sun drying, the grain should be spread in thin layers, 2-5 cm, and turned every 1-2
hours. When sun-drying seed, the grain should be turned more often and not exposed to tempera-
tures above 42oC. If high temperatures occur the seed should be dried in the shade. New grain
should not be stored near older grain unless all insects have been eliminated from the older grain.

52
It is preferable to store grain as paddy or rough rice as this is less susceptible to insect attack than
milled rice. Parboiled rice is also less susceptible to damage than raw rice.

11.8 Grain stores must have a damp proof floor and have waterproof walls and roof. It is prefer-
able to be able to seal the storage so fumigation is possible should the need arise. Sealing the sto-
rage also helps exclude rodents and birds. Where grain is to be stored in bags, the bags should be
stacked on pallets at least 50 cm away from the walls. Hermetic storage systems have proved to
be an effective means of storing grain.

11.9 Disinfesting the storage system

Disinfestations require a systematic and thorough cleaning of all sources of infestation before
storage. Old grain residues in the storehouses, grain bins, harvesting and threshing equipment
should be treated, removed or destroyed.

Storage containers, structures and equipment can be treated with:

• Malathion (50 EC) at 5 ml /20 lit. of water @20 ml/m2

• Fenitrothion (50 EC) at 5 ml/lit. of water @20 ml/m2

• Deltamethrin (2.5% WP) at 1.5 g/lit. of water @20 ml/m2

If thorough cleaning of containers is not possible, the containers may need to be sealed and fu-
migated with phosphine. All second hand bags should be examined and where necessary treated
with either a fumigant, insecticide or dipped in boiling water. Solutions of Malathion (50EC) and
Fenitrothion (50EC) at 5 ml/20 lit. of water and Deltamethrin (2.5% WP) at 1.5 g/lit. of water
@20 ml/m2 can be used for dipping the bags.

11.10 Controlling infestations within the grain

Consumers are increasingly demanding grain that is free from live insects and free from chemi-
cal residues caused by controlling pests. While many chemical sprays are registered for rice,
some markets will not accept grain treated with these registered chemicals. Farmers should al-

53
ways check with buyers to ensure that the pest control methods intended for use will be accepta-
ble.

The first step in controlling any infestation is to determine the level of infestation and then select
an appropriate method for control. All storage should be checked, preferably every fortnight, and
at least monthly. Random samples need to be taken from all grain and tested for infestation. If
there are more than 4 insects per kg some form of treatment is required. A simple rule of thumb
for the number of bags to be sampled is to use the square root of the lot size. For example if there
are 100 bags in the lot, samples should be taken from 10 bags.

11.11 Keeping Rodents Out

The requirements of preventive rodent control must be taken into account whenever new stores
are being built. Particular attention should be paid to doors, ventilation openings, brickwork and
the junctions between the roof and the walls. Repair any damage to the store immediately! This
applies especially to the doors.

RICE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMES

A brief description of various Rice Development Schemes implemented in the past is given be-
low:

12.1 Special Rice Production Programme (SRPP)

On the basis of experience gained and constraints identified in different blocks during the im-
plementation of the Pilot Project in 1984-85, a full fledged Centrally Sponsored “Special Rice
Production Programme-SRPP” was started from 1985-86. The objective of the scheme was to
bring the substantial increase in the productivity of low productivity areas. For implementation
of the scheme, 1/5th of the total number of blocks in the States of Assam, Bihar, Eastern Madhya
Pradesh, Orissa, Eastern Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal were taken up. Before taking up the
scheme, the block-wise plans were prepared and based on the needs of each block different pro-
grammes were taken up. As the constraints vary from block to block, the programme of work
across the block also vary. The programme was implemented in 420 selected blocks instead of
417 selected initially as the Government of West Bengal implemented the programme in 70 se-
lected blocks. Under the scheme, programmes were taken up to improve the supply of inputs like
quality seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, plant protection equipments, farm implements and technolo-
gy, programme requiring short-term measures for taking up the other works for the improvement
of the irrigation, drainage and development of infrastructure facilities were also included.

During 1986-87, the scheme was extended to 10 additional blocks of Assam State. State of Tri-
pura was also included during 1988-89 and 9 blocks of the State were identified for the imple-
mentation of the scheme. In all, the SRPP was implemented in 439 blocks of the 7 Eastern
States. The funding pattern under the scheme was 50:50 sharing basis between the Government
of India and concerned State Government.

12.2 Special Food grains Production Programme (SFPP)-RICE

Consequent to the mid-term appraisal of the 7th Five Year Plan a Centrally Sponsored “Special
Foodgrains Production Programme (SFPP)” was launched with a view to achieve the minimum

55
food production of 166 million tonnes during 1988-89 and 175 million tonnes for the terminal
year 1989-90 of the 7th Five Year Plan. For implementation of SFPP-Rice, 106 potential dis-
tricts in 13 States i.e. 6 SRPP States – Assam (3),Bihar (13), Madhya Pradesh (11), Orissa (5),
Uttar Pradesh (21), West Bengal (7) and other 7 States-Andhra Pradesh (8), Gujarat (4), Haryana
(5), Karnataka (8), Maharashtra (7), Punjab (3) and Tamil Nadu (8) were identified. The imple-
mentation unit of the SFPP-Rice Programme was district and all the areas in the identified dis-
tricts were covered for the implementation of the programme. SFPP was 100 percent funded by
the Government of India.

12.3 Integrated Programme For Rice Development (IPRD)

SRPP and SFPP-Rice were merged on the recommendations of the Planning Commission and
unified scheme “Integrated Programme for Rice Development (IPRD)” was implemented from
1990-91. 4 additional states namely Goa, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir and Kerala and
1 Union Territory of Pondicherry were covered under the Scheme. Whereas the SRPP was im-
plemented in the identified blocks and SFPP-Rice in the identified districts, the IPRD was im-
plemented in all the districts of the States covered under the programme. The funding pattern un-
der the scheme was modified to 75:25 to be shared between the Government of India and the
concerned State Government.

From the year 1991-92, the scheme was further extended to 5 more additional states namely
Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram and Nagaland. Thus, the scheme was imple-
mented in 23 States namely Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Goa, Gujarat,
Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maha-
rashtra, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Orissa, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Tripura, Uttar
Pradesh, West Bengal and Union Territory of Pondicherry.

The State Governments were provided the flexibility to choose the most suitable components out
of the approved components under IPRD namely distribution of certified seeds, micro-nutrients
(zinc sulphate), herbicides, pesticides, PP equipments, seed treating chemicals, farm implements,
supply to power tiller to small and marginal farmers and allocate funds to each components
keeping in view of the specific constraints to rice production in the State and overall limited to
Rs.57.44 lakh per district. Besides, field demonstrations and training programmes for farmers

56
and farm labourers were also included under the scheme for effective transfer of crop production
technology.

12.4 Integrated Cereals Development Programme in Rice Based Cropping System Areas
(ICDP-RICE)

The On-going Integrated Programme for Rice Development (IPRD), Special Foodgrains Produc-
tion Programme-Wheat and Special Foodgrains Production Programme-Maize and Millets
Schemes have been modified. Schemes are as Integrated Cereals Development Programme in
Rice Based Cropping System Areas (ICDP-Rice), Integrated Cereals Development Programme
in Coarse Cereals Based Cropping System Areas (ICDP-Coarse Cereals) and Integrated Cereals
Development Programme in Wheat Based Cropping System Areas (ICDP-Wheat). In an area,
only one scheme is being implemented and there is no overlapping in the implementation of the
scheme of ICDP-Rice, ICDP-Coarse Cereals and ICDP-Wheat. The objective of the modified
scheme is to increase the overall productivity of cereals under specific crop based systems as a
whole as against the individual crop approach.

The ICDP-Rice was implemented in 1200 identified blocks of 16 States namely Andhra Pradesh
(120), Arunachal Pradesh (20), Assam (75), Bihar (220), Goa (4), Kerala (55), Eastern Madhya
Pradesh (90), Manipur (12), Meghalaya (12), Mizoram (8), Nagaland (12), Orissa (115), Tamil
Nadu (140), Tripura (8), Eastern Uttar Pradesh (180), West Bengal (125) and one Union Territo-
ry of Pondicherry (4).

12.5 High Yielding Varieties

The Central Sector Rice Seed Minikit Programme including propagation of improved production
technology has played vital role in increasing area under high yielding varieties and also in dem-
onstration of improved crop production technology to the farmers. This scheme has contributed
in increasing rice production and productivity. The high yielding varieties Programme was in-
itiated during 1966-67 and the Directorate of Rice Development, Govt. of India commenced
monitoring the scheme of high yielding varieties in a systematic manner from 1970 onward. The
total area under rice during 1969-70 was 37.68 million ha in which the area under high yielding
varieties (H.Y.V.) was about 4.34 million ha Thus, the share of H.Y.V was 4.5 per cent of the

57
total area under rice in the country during 1969-70. But due to the successful implementation of
the scheme, the area under H.Y.V increased significantly from 4.34 million ha during 1969-70 to
33.10 million ha during 1999-2000. The increase in area under H.Y.V registered more than 8
folds during the past 30 years. During 1969-70 only 16 H.Y.V. were released / notified for culti-
vation and there after, due to the concerted efforts of research 639 varieties of rice have been re-
leased and notified so far. Those varieties have been popularised at the farmers field through
rice minikit programme which was initiated during 1971-72 and continued up to 9th plan period.
Thus, the percentage of area under high yielding varieties has been increased from 11.5 per cent
in 1969-70 to 79 per cent during 1999-2000. The plan-wise area under H.Y.V of rice is given
below:

Plan Area (in 000 ha.)

4th Plan (1969-70 to 1973-74) 7098.2

5th Plan (1974-75 to 1978-79) 13986.4

6th plan (1980-81 to 1984-85) 20255.4

7th Plan (1985-86 to 1989-90) 24263.7

8th Plan (1992-93 to 1996-97) 30905.6

9th Plan (1997-98 to 2001-2002) 33147.4

______________________________________________________________________________

With a view to increase the rice production and productivity in the country, the Government of
India have been implementing from time to time various rice development programmes in all
rice growing States through the Directorate of Rice Development, Patna. The details of the
schemes implemented up to 9th Five Year Plan are given below:

12.6 Rice Seed Minikit Programme

Seed is the basic input for increasing production and productivity. Therefore, maintenance of ge-
netic purity through seed replacement is essential for stabilising the yield levels. In addition to
the supply of certified seeds of high yielding varieties of rice to the farmers, seed minikits of re-

58
cently released location specific high yielding varieties were being distributed to the farmers at
nominal cost under Central Sector Rice Seed Minikit Programme since 1972 for popularisation
of varieties and seed multiplication at the farmer’s field level. This programme has helped in
spread of recently released varieties and in coverage under high yielding varieties.

A number of recently released location specific high yielding varieties of rice spread through
Central Sector Rice Seed Minikit Demonstration Programme during the IX Five Year Plan are
given in Table - 9.

During the 9th Five Year Plan more emphasis was given on popularisation of location specific
high yielding varieties of rice released/notified during the last 3 years for the favourable rainfed
and irrigated areas and 5 years for the problematic areas like rainfed upland & lowland, coastal
saline, saline-alkaline lands, high altitude cold stress areas. A total number of 33 lakh seed mini-
kits of 419 location specific high yielding varieties of rice were distributed in different rice grow-
ing States during the 9th Five Year Plan.

12.7 State Level Training Programme On Rice Production Technology

With a view to disseminate the latest rice production technology to the Extension Officers of the
State Governments, State Level Training Programme on Rice Production Technology was orga-
nized Continuously since 1975-76. The training programmes was conducted at ICAR Research
Centres and State Agriculture Universities for three days duration with 30 participants up to 9th
Five Year Plan period. An assistance limited to Rs. 22,900/- was given to the organising centres
for conducting training programes.

12.8 Special Orientation Training Programme On Rice Production Technology

In addition to the State Level Training Programme, a Special Orientation Training Programme
on Rice Production Technology was also organised at the State Agricultural Universities and In-
dian Council of Agricultural Research (I.C.A.R.) Institutes. The duration of training programme
was for 5 days with 20 participants. The financial assistance of Rs.35,000/- was given to the or-
ganizer for each training course. This training programme was initiated during the year 1997-98
with a view to disseminate the latest rice production technology. This training programme was
conducted at the following Centres / Universities for different type of rice:

12. 9 Macro Management Scheme Of Agriculture

The Government of India has initiated Macro Management Scheme of Agriculture. This is a
Centrally Sponsored Scheme. The objective of this scheme is to aim at all round development in
agriculture through Work Plans prepared by the respective State keeping in view the following
aspects:

(a) Reflection of local needs/crops/regions specific/priorities etc.

(b) Providing flexibility and autonomy to States.

(c) Optimum utilization of scarce financial resource.

(d) Maximization of returns and

(e) Removal of regional imbalances.

The Govt. of India has merged 27 Centrally Sponsored Schemes into Macro Management Mode.
The previous pattern of Centrally Sponsored Schemes (C.S.S.) was lacking in various flexibility
resulting in large amount of unutilized balances with the State Governments. The present Macro
Management approach will provide more flexibility to State Governments to develop and pres-

60
sure programmes on the basis of regional priorities. The outlay of the Work Plan would be
shared by the Centre and the States in the ratio of 90:10. In the case of North-Eastern States, the
entire expenditure will be borne by the Government of India. Macro Management Scheme will
be implemented in all States and Union Territories. The following 27 C.S.S. have been integrated
into Macro Management mode:

1. Assistance to Weaker Section.

2. Assistance to women Co operatives.

3. Non- overdue Cover Scheme.

4. Agri. Cerdit Stabilisation Fund.

5. Special Scheme for SC/ST.

6. Integrated Cereal Development Programmes in Rice Based Cropping System Areas.

7. Integrated Cereal Development Programmes in wheat Based Cropping System Areas.

8. Integrated Cereal Development Programmes in Coarse Cereals Based Cropping System

Areas.

9. Special Jute Development Programme.

10. Sustainable Development of Sugarcane Based Cropping System Areas.

11. Balanced and Integrated use of Fertilizer.

12. Promotion of Agricultural Mechanization among Small Farmers.

13. Integrated Development of Tropical, Arid & Temperate Zone Fruits.

14. Production and Supply of Vegetable seeds.

15. Development of Commercial Floriculture.

16. Development of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants.

17. Development of Roots and Tuber Crops.

18. Development of Cocoa and Cashew.

19. Integrated Programme for Development of Spices.

61
20. Development of Mushroom.

21. Use of Plastics in Agriculture.

22. Bee keeping.

23. National watershed Development Project for Rainfed Areas.

24. Schemes for Foundation & Certified Seed Production of Vegetable Crops.

25. Soil Conservation in Catchments of River Valley Projects and Flood Prone Rivers.

26. Reclamation and Development of Alkali Soils.

27. State Land use Boards.

12.9 NATIONAL FOOD SECURITY MISSION'

The National Development Council (NDC) in its 53rd meeting held on 29th May, 2007 adopted a
resolution to launch a Food Security Mission comprising rice, wheat and pulses to increase the
production of rice by 10 million tons, wheat by 8 million tons and pulses by 2 million tons by
the end of the Eleventh Plan (2011-12). Accordingly, a Centrally Sponsored Scheme, 'National
Food Security Mission', has been launched from 2007-08 to operationalize the above mentioned
resolution.

The National Food Security Mission until XI Plan had three components (i) National Food Secu-
rity Mission - Rice (NFSM-Rice); (ii) National Food Security Mission - Wheat (NFSM-Wheat);
and National Food Security Mission - Pulses (NFSM-Pulses).

Mission Objectives

• Increasing production of rice, wheat and pulses through area expansion and productivity
enhancement in a sustainable manner in the identified districts of the country;
• Restoring soil fertility and productivity at the individual farm level;
• Creation of employment opportunities; and
• Enhancing farm level economy (i.e. farm profits) to restore confidence amongst the
farmers.

62
Strategy

To achieve the above objectives, the Mission would adopt following strategies:

i. Implementation in a mission mode through active engagement of all the stakeholders at var-
ious levels.

ii. Promotion and extension of improved technologies i.e., seed, Integrated Nutrient Manage-
ment including micronutrients, soil amendments, IPM and resource conservation technolo-
gies along with capacity building of farmers.

iii. Flow of fund has been closely monitored to ensure that interventions reach the target benefi-
ciaries on time.

iv. Various interventions proposed could be integrated with the district plan and targets for each
identified district.

v. Constant monitoring and concurrent evaluation for assessing the impact of the interventions
for a result oriented approach by the implementing agencies was followed.

Area of Operation of Food Security Mission: NFSM-rice was implemented in 136 identified
districts of 14 states during 11th Plan. Further it was decided to includes Uttaranchal and North
Eastern except Assam under this mission during 2012-13. List of identified district during 11th
plan are given below:

12.10 Bringing Green Revolution in Eastern India

An Inter ministerial task force was constituted in December 2009 under the chairmanship of Sec-
retary (Agriculture) to make short-term and medium-term recommendations on efficient man-
agement of water, power and other inputs to maximize agricultural production on a sustainable
basis including that of the Eastern India. The major recommendation of task force was for pro-
moting efficiency in water management and encouraging innovative precision farming practices
in consultation with the state Governments. It made specific recommendations for improving the
rice productivity in the Eastern States through development of appropriate infrastructure with a
view to stabilize rice based cropping system in the Eastern states.

Selection of States and Districts: The interventions proposed would be implemented in non-
NFSM districts of the states of Assam, Bihar, Eastern U.P, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, West Ben-
gal and Orissa. Nearly 54 % of the total districts (97 out of 183) that are not covered under
NFSM would be eligible under the programme.

The programme consisted a bouquet of three broad categories of intervention (i) Block demon-
stration of rice and wheat –short term strategy; (ii) Asset building activities (iii) Site Specific Ac-
tivities for enhancing agriculture production and productivity

i. Block demonstration of rice: The objective of the demonstrations has been aimed at
improving seed replacement rate, promotion of line sowing/ planting coupled with promotion of
plant nutrient and plant protection technologies. Quality seed recommended for the area could be
promoted to cover entire area of the unit. Package of practices proposed for scientific crop man-
agement under the demonstrations for different ecologies of rice along with physical and finan-
cial targets to the states were provided. It was proposed to promote hybrid rice technologies in 40
units of 1000 hectares each. Every farmer in these units could be encouraged to take up at least
0.40 hectares under hybrid rice. In case of rice, identified progressive farmers for a set of 100
hectares each, were provided two drum seeders free of cost which could be used for facilitating
the sowing of rice lines by all the farmers included in the unit. It is expected that concept of cus-
tom hiring in the area would be popularized while at the same time it would give additional in-
centive to the identified progressive farmers for coordinating various implementation activities.
The cost per ha is given in Annexure I

70
ii. Asset building activities: Nearly 17 per cent of the funds are allocated for these activities.
Asset building activities proposed would mainly focus on water management activities such as
construction of shallow tube wells, dug well/ bore wells and distribution of pump sets, drum
seeders, Zero till seed drills. The state wise detail is given in Annexure II.

iii. Site Specific Activities for enhancing agriculture production and productivity: Nearly 19
per cent of the funds are allocated to the states for taking up site specific activities assisting in
enhancing the agriculture production such as improving quality of electric power supply, con-
struction/ renovation of field/ irrigation channels, institution building for inputs supply etc.
