KRISHI VIGYAN KENDRA, ROHTAS, BIKRAMGANJ Scientific cultivation of rice(SRI, DSR & MTR) 22 nd June, 2017 Dr. Ram Pal SMS, Agril. Engg.

PHOTOSYNTHESIS • Rice, Wheat, Tomato, Potato, Mango, Lemon, Chilli etc.

Aim • Attain wheat productivity level equal to paddy • Rice productivity 2526 kg/ha • Wheat productivity 1657 kg/ha • Gap 869 kg/ha • Achievement in this year Highest yield of 6231 kg/ha was recorded

How to achieve the target Bringing the DOS of Wheat 15 NOV

Interventions Proposed DSR MTR 15 Nov sowing of wheat SRI Crop Diversification SD/HBD rice

Drum Seeder

Major limitations of DSR • Weed infestation during growth period • High moisture at the time of establishment • Attack of gross- hopper at early stage • Seed rate • Depth of sowing

Paddy transplanter

Benefits of MTR • Labour saving • Cost saving • Timely establishment of crop • Water saving • Mechanical weed control

Process of seed sowing

Mat preparation

Major limitations of MTR • Skill requirement in mat preparation • Availability of spare-parts • High initial cost

Benefits of SRI method • Water saving • Labour saving • High productivity • Seed saving • Reduces use of chemical pesticides

Machineries used in SRI

Benefits of Crop diversification • More income • Timely establishment of wheat • Risk mitigation
