This book was released on 2015-05-11 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the food-grains, rice is the principal crop in the state of Assam. The agro-climatic situation prevailing across the zones favours rice cultivation in the state. Hence, the state being one of the main rice growing states of India can contribute a lot to the national economy. The area, production and productivity of crops fluctuate with time. Change in productivity is basically technological and hence, more promising. Therefore, a quantitative assessment of growth and instability as well as adoption pattern of technologies assumes significance in the context of agricultural development in the state. In an agrarian state like Assam, assessment of food security status is of great importance in the backdrop of the higher population growth due to natural growth and influx of people from other states of India and neighbouring countries. In the present study, an attempt has been made to assess the rice production system in Assam with critical analysis of changes in production technologies, adoption, asset acquisition and food security status of rice farmers. The book will be useful to research scholars, policy makers and agricultural planners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a comprehensive account of upland rice cultivation in different states of India. Upland rice system is considered as most diverse of all rice systems and each states of the country grow different varieties under a range of management conditions and cropping patterns. The 23 chapters in the book consolidate and share the knowledge on rainfed upland rice cultivation practiced in different states. It analyzes the upland rice agro-ecosystem in different states and encompasses various aspects of integrated nutrient management, pest management, varieties available and newer technologies introduced for adoption by farmers to improve the productivity of this fragile ecosystem.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper tries to estimates the impact of climate variability/change on the rice productivity of Assam. For the study purpose we use the time series data (1970-2010) for the respective variables of the study. While we have taken yearly average temperature and yearly average rainfall as a climate variable, where these two variable are also the independent variable of the study along with area of rice cultivation in hectare, area covered by HYV (High Yielding Varieties) seeds in hectare, area covered by irrigation facility in hectare, fertilizer consumption in kg per hectare and average area of land holding in hectare. We used the Cob-Douglas production function in the form of log-log model and the multiple regression counterparts for the analysis, the Cob-Douglas production function technique is the most appropriate for the agricultural sector research. Here it shows, climate as a production input for the agricultural crop productivity. The estimated result shows that the increasing temperature has a negative impact on the productivity of the major crop rice and rainfall has a positive impact on the productivity of this crop in Assam.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Future Rice Strategy for India presents forward-looking insights toward achieving sustainable development of the rice sector, ensuring future food and nutritional security. As a staple food for many in India, including the economically disadvantaged, there are many concerns that affect the development of rice sector. Facing issues from environmental demands to economic stagnation, access to food, food inflation, and the Food Security Act (demand – supply – distribution of rice) achieving sustainability in production and exports is an important and urgent challenge. Using case studies to illustrate existing and potential issues, challenges and solutions, The Future Rice Strategy for India presents key strategic options while considering the implicit consequences. In addition, the findings enrich the strategy and policy formulation considerations for the role of rice in the country. This multidisciplinary approach features the expertise of rice scientists covering different aspects of rice sector; from breeding to consumer preferences and markets and trade. Uses analysis based on agro ecological zones (AEZ) patterns providing understanding of future growth patterns based on rice ecologies Includes case studies with proposed solutions taking into consideration pros and cons of each, allowing readers facing similar concerns and issues to identify an appropriate solution more efficiently and effectively
