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. Not Available |
