Farmers’ Experiences Dinesh Chandra Ray in his SRI field 13
Chhattisgarh Amar Singh Patel Rathkhandi, Kota, Bilaspur Chhattisgarh Contact: Mr. Jacob Nellithanam, Coordinator, Richaria Campaign, B-3, Parijat Colony, Nehru Nagar Bilaspur, Chattisgarh-495001, Ph: 9425560950 Age: 52 years Education: Primary level Occupation(s): Agriculture No. of years in farming: 40 Paddy cultivation He is mainly a rice farmer, but cultivates vegetables in winter and summer. He has got about 4 acres of paddy land of which about 1 acre is sandy loam soil close to riverside, which is irrigated by a shallow well. The rest of land is un-irrigated. By irrigated rice, he gets an average yield of 10-12 q/acre in a good year. Uses minimal application of fertilizers and regularly uses farm yard manure. SRI adoption He was introduced to SRI method by the Organic Farming program of Jan Swasthya Sahayog (JSS), Bilaspur, during village meetings in 2006. But, he avoided the trial after taking seeds from JSS. Seeing encouraging results of trials by 2 farmers in the village, he took his first trial in his own small field of 0.12 acre in 2007. He chose to experiment a fine variety called DRK. Trained and advised by JSS farming program, he was able to follow SRI practices thoroughly. Weeding was done twice by Rotary Weeder provided by JSS. Weeding was done a bit late and only 2 times using tool and one manually. The crop was uneven due to lack of complete leveling of plot. Even then, yield was very good measuring 5 bags that weighed 3.5 quintals. Labours cost for harvest is one sixth of the measure of paddy after thrashing. So, the estimated yield potential shown was 3.2-3.5 t/ac. The inputs were only farm yard manure and no pest control measures were taken. In 2008 kharif season one acre was planted following SRI under different timings in different plots. First plot of 0.3 acre was planted in time and followed with timely weeding. Some plots which got delayed did not perform well. The standing crop showed a yield potential of 3.5-4 t/acre in the best plot of 0.3 acre. The rainfed plots, delayed in planting, had heavy pests due to low rainfall conditions. His average total yield of paddy under SRI is estimated to be 2.5 t/acre. 14
