Rice (Oryza Sativa L.) is the principal food crop of the North Eastern Region of India
occupying an area of about 3.5 m ha with an average productivity of 1.77 t/ha which is
much below the national average. The region is still in deficit of about 12 % foodgrains
considering last triennium and 2.8 % in 2010-11. The reason for such low productivity is
the non adoption of high yielding varieties and improved production technology. While
enhancing productivity, equal importance should be given on resource conservation for
sustainability and climate resilience. Increased occurrence of extreme events like drought,
heavy rainfall, floods, frost etc. as a result of climate change, needs to be considered in rice
production process. All India drought of 2009-10 caused about 20 % reduction in rice
production. As adaptation and mitigation measures to climate change, management practices
like system of rice intensification (SRI), integrated crop management (ICM), direct seeding,
conservation agriculture approach in rice (reduced tillage, residue management and crop
diversification), in-situ residue management, aerobic rice cultivation, land configuration,
farming system approach etc. that judiciously utilizes and conserves soil and water, and
reduces methane emission (greenhouse gas) should be promoted. With the adoption of
appropriate crop production technology, it is possible to reduce the yield loss due to climatic
aberrations to a great extent and achieve a yield level of at least 3-5 t/ha in the North East
India. Following agro-techniques are recommended for optimum rice productivity in North
East India.
