Assessment of Performance of Drought Tolerant Rice Variety in Koshi region

Rice is one of the main crop of Bihar but its productivity is very poor. More than 60% rice area
is concentrated in Bihar in low productivity zone and this zone contributes more than 50% of
rice production of the State. Area coverage under rice with high yielding varieties is about 65%
and irrigation facility is available for about 40% rice area in the State. If the productivity of
low productivity zone is increased, the rice production can be increased considerably without
increasing the area under rice. Inspite of the good soil condition and plenty of critical natural
resource i.e water the overall rice productivity and overall system productivity of the district
are low. The productivity of major crops in the district is less that the state and national average
except maize. In case of rice the productivity is very less and it is about 50 to 60 percent of
state and national average. The low productivity of rice has been observed due to unavailability
of suitable, stress tolerant rice variety as per the land topography and delayed transplanting.
This study has been focused on the performance of drought tolerant short duration paddy
variety Sahbhagi dhan demonstrated in different year.
