In the present study, a total of 53 promising salt-tolerant genotypes were tested across 18 salt-affected diverse locations for three years. An attempt was made to identify ideal test and mega-environments using GGE biplot analysis. The CSSRI sodic environment most discriminating location in individual years as well over could be used screen out unstable salt-sensitive genotypes. Genotypes CSR36, CSR-2K-219, CSR-2K-262 found Overall, CSR-2K-262, CSR-2K-242 superior stable among all with...
Rice is the staple food and provides livelihood for smallholder farmers in coastal delta regions of South Southeast Asia. However, its productivity often low because several abiotic stresses including high soil salinity waterlogging during wet (monsoon) season water dry season. Development dissemination suitable rice varieties tolerant these multiple encountered zones are prime importance increasing stabilizing productivity, however adoption new has been slow this region. Here we implemented...
Dry season (boro) rice ( Oryza sativa L.) is an important crop in coastal areas of India, but little attention has been devoted to optimize and resource management for this ecosystem. Four methods establishment were tested on puddled soil: direct sowing pre‐germinated seeds with drum seeder, transplanting 12‐ 18‐d‐old seedlings conventional 25‐d‐old (farmers’ practice). Three nutrient treatments also evaluated: recommended dose fertilizers (RDF; 120–20–0 kg N–P 2 O 5 –K ha −1 ), RDF + Azolla...
Abstract The aim of this study was to identify stable rice genotypes tolerant a salt stress environment and ideal mega-environments using AMMI (additive main effects multiplicative interaction) stability model analysis. A total 13 three tolerance checks were evaluated across locations (alkaline saline) for the two kharif seasons 2014 2015. Genotype CSR 36 (CHK3) found be most those tested. Genotypes CHK2 (CST 27) IR 87952-1-1-1-2-3-B (G05) stable, with above average yields. check genotype...
Introduction It is estimated that five out of six farms in the world are operating less than two hectares land, called smallholder farmers, and they producing over one third global food. Cropping system intensification research interventions at farmers' fields could be ways to improve prevailing cropping systems. Understanding socio-economic issues important for successful implementation improved or new systems increasing income coastal zone Ganges delta. A evaluation study was carried...
The management of agricultural land to improve farm income in coastal saline areas is quite challenging because, firstly, most the area characterised by monocropping with low-yielding rice varieties during kharif season. Under such fragile environment sustaining livelihoods these resource poor farmers become a real challenge both for technology developers as well policy makers. To increase under environment, strategies have been taken up adoption salt resistant crop and more importantly...
Sundarbans in West Bengal of India by virtue its strategic location the Eastern coast on Bay falls one most vulnerable zones abrupt climate change. Temporal trends weather parameters Canning Town (22o18'10.8'' N Latitude, 88o39'58.4'' E Longitude, elevation 3.52 m msl) representing Indian were analysed non-parametric Mann-Kendall test and Sen's slope approaches. Analysis long term rainfall data (1966-2015) indicated that receives a mean annual 1821 mm (±341.8 mm) with considerable variation...
Understanding the interactions between shallow saline groundwater and surface water is crucial for managing logging in deltaic islands. Water conditions result accumulation of salt root zone crops detrimentally affect agriculture economically socially backward region West Bengal Bangladesh. In this paper, we undertook a modeling study water–groundwater Gosaba Island Sundarbans Ganges delta using MODFLOW followed by comprehensive parameter sensitivity analysis. Further, scenario analyses...
Rice is the predominant crop in coastal regions and serves as a vital source of livelihood income security for millions people residing these areas. However, are highly vulnerable to climate change face numerous abiotic stresses, including soil water salinity, erratic rainfall, saline mangroves, heavy prolonged dry spells, intrusion, cyclonic disturbances, high temperatures, humidity. These challenges expose rice crops both biotic with unpredictable dynamic nature threats amplifying their...
Despite leading in production of many important agricultural commodities, the income agriculture dependent households remained one lowest ( 3980/month per households) West Bengal and far below national average 6426/month/household). The paper has analysed past performance sector state's economy from available secondary data also looked into effectiveness existing price policy. Besides, technology options, market scenario/linkage have been through primary information most vulnerable group...
Rice-fallow and rice-rice are major cropping systems in the salt affected region of Ganges Delta covering West Bengal, India Bangladesh. The dry season rice (Boro) is grown mostly by irrigation from ground water this scarce region. Boro encounters soil salinity, air temperature fluctuations intense evaporative demand. We studied six sowing dates (1 October, 15 1 November, December December) three varieties (WGL 20471, Bidhan 2 IET 4786) to find an interacting effect on yield productivity....
