This book was released on 2016-02-02 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates the relationship between adoption of modern rice varieties and rice varietal diversity on household farms in Bangladesh. As shown in previous studies, adoption of modern varieties depends on agroecological- and input-related factors, including the availability and use of irrigation facilities, such as tubewells. Having irrigation affects the diversity index significantly and positively, which could be due to the diffusion of more modern varieties (MVs) in areas where irrigation is available and accessible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A devastating flood in the 1998-1999 cropping season created a rice seed shortage in Bangladesh, which became a challenge for sustaining growth in rice production. In order to address this issue, hybrid rice was introduced in the 1999 boro season as one of the potential options. Its acceptance by farmers was, however, a disappointment because of the emergence of manifold problems. Understanding the "Diffusion and adoption of hybrid rice in Bangladesh" over the last decade is, therefore, critical to successful promotion. To achieve this, the present study was conducted within the framework of the "Diffusion of Innovations" paradigm focusing on the decision stage. The main objectives of the study were to assess the extent of adoption of hybrid rice; to establish its diffusion pattern; to assess the growers' satisfaction on consuming hybrid rice; and understand reasons for non-adoption, de-adoption and continuing adoption. A concurrent embedded design using a cross sectional survey was employed to carry out the study. The study was conducted in five regions of Bangladesh. The sample population consisted of rice growers of the boro season who were responsible for farming decisions. A multistage stratified random sampling design was employed in selecting the sample of 440 farmers. Three categories, namely, non-adopters, de-adopters and continuing adopters of hybrid rice were sampled. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews of the sampled farmers using a pre-tested and back translated questionnaire comprising a series of 21 questions. The questionnaire was formatted with both open ended and closed question items for securing quantitative and qualitative data. The data confirmed that the overall extent of adoption of hybrid rice during the period of the 2001- 2011 boro seasons was moderate in the sample areas. Comparing the selected technological aspects of hybrid rice with inbred varieties, it was found that although hybrid rice cultivation secures higher yield and profitability, it has a range of disadvantages. Logistic regression results showed that several factors affected farmers' decisions to adopt hybrid rice, including farmers' demographic and attitudinal characteristics. Their stated reasons for non-adoption, de-adoption and continuing adoption are compared in this thesis with those hypothesized from the literature for de-adoption. These reasons include unsuitability for consumption, lower market prices, severe infestations of insect pests and lack of irrigation facilities. These factors will need to be addressed if hybrid rice is to attain greater adoption levels in Bangladesh. There is an enormous potential for improving the level of adoption of hybrid rice in Bangladesh. In order to achieve this, the scientific community, planners and extension workers both at national and international level would need to initiate further research and revise existing policy guidelines in light of the findings of this study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As rice constitutes the major share in cereal consumption in South and East Asian countries that ranges from as low as 40 per cent in India to 97 per cent in Myanmar, to ensure food security, governments in these countries are encouraging farmers to adopt hybrid rice. This is mainly because hybrid rice provides a yield gain of 15-20 per cent over conventionally bred varieties in general. Yet, despite strenuous government efforts, farmers' adoption rates have remained low in India, Bangladesh and Vietnam compared with China. Although studies often claim that higher seed costs and inferior grain quality are the major factors limiting hybrid rice adoption, very few studies examine the importance of socio-economic factors and infrastructure in the adoption of hybrid rice. Using Bangladesh as a case, a comparative analysis has been made on the adoption of hybrid and modern varieties relative to traditional rice varieties and land allocation to these varieties. Econometric results indicate that general land characteristics, loan facilities and general infrastructure, such as roads, irrigation facilities and the availability of government-approved seed dealers, significantly influence the adoption of hybrid and modern rice varieties and land allocation to these varieties compared with traditional varieties.

This book was released on 2018-11-12 with total page 986 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in Rice Research for Abiotic Stress Tolerance provides an important guide to recognizing, assessing and addressing the broad range of environmental factors that can inhibit rice yield. As a staple food for nearly half of the world’s population, and in light of projected population growth, improving and increasing rice yield is imperative. This book presents current research on abiotic stresses including extreme temperature variance, drought, hypoxia, salinity, heavy metal, nutrient deficiency and toxicity stresses. Going further, it identifies a variety of approaches to alleviate the damaging effects and improving the stress tolerance of rice. Advances in Rice Research for Abiotic Stress Tolerance provides an important reference for those ensuring optimal yields from this globally important food crop. Covers aspects of abiotic stress, from research, history, practical field problems faced by rice, and the possible remedies to the adverse effects of abiotic stresses Provides practical insights into a wide range of management and crop improvement practices Presents a valuable, single-volume sourcebook for rice scientists dealing with agronomy, physiology, molecular biology and biotechnology
