Crop Production Interventions for Reducing the Impact <strong>of</strong> Changing<br />

Climate in North East<br />

The human interventions to the nature during the last century has shown its result in the last<br />

couple <strong>of</strong> decades in the form <strong>of</strong> climate change. The aberrant weather scenario is the<br />

showcase <strong>of</strong> climate change. As the agriculture is mainly dependent on the natural weather<br />

phenomenon, so it has been highly affected by the climate change. NICRA is one <strong>of</strong> the<br />

flagship initiative <strong>of</strong> the ICAR to make agriculture more resilient to climate change. It was<br />

also undertaken by the KVKs <strong>of</strong> Assam and Arunachal Pradesh in North east. During 2018-<br />

19, KVK Dibrugarh, Assam introduced submergence tolerant paddy variety Ranjit Sub-1 in<br />

farmers field to replace the normal sali paddy in the highly flood prone area because Ranjit<br />

Sub-1 can endure underwater condition for two weeks without losing their potential yield.<br />

Yield obtained for local check and demonstration were 32.8 q/ha and 41.7 q/ha respectively.<br />

Increase in yield over local check was 27.13%. In Dibrugarh district <strong>of</strong> Assam, after<br />

harvesting <strong>of</strong> winter paddy, area remains fallow from December to June. For enhancing the<br />

production and productivity, short duration early ahu (autumn) paddy variety Dishang was<br />

introduced during March/April-June July. Yield <strong>of</strong> local check and demonstration were 32.8<br />

q/ha and 42.8 q/ha respectively. KVK Dibrugarh, Assam introduced high yielding toria<br />

variety TS – 36 with the aim <strong>of</strong> utilizing rice fallow and producing higher yield. Yield <strong>of</strong><br />

local check and demonstration were 8.0 q/ha and 11.8q/ha respectively. Increase in yield over<br />

local check was 47.50% with B:C ratio <strong>of</strong> 1.65. KVK Dhubri, Assam introduced<br />

submergence tolerant paddy variety Swarna Sub-1 to overcome the flash flood situation in<br />

the district. Yield <strong>of</strong> local check and demonstration were 33.5q/ha and 39.0q/ha respectively.<br />

Increase in yield over local check was 16.42%. KVK Dhubri also introduced submergence<br />
