Variable climate resulting in floods, and labor-intensive manual rice transplanting are the major challenges cultivation Assam, India. Our study aimed to improve rice-rice systems productivity through submergence-tolerant varieties (STRVs) mechanical puddled transplanted (MTR). On-farm experiments were conducted four seasons over two years (2018-19 2019-20) 15 districts where is dominant cropping system. We evaluated best management practices (BMPs- a combination of STRVs MTR) against...
Vulnerability to climatic hazards is a multifaceted phenomenon, dependent crucially on the socio-economic framework and biophysical landscape of community. Gender factors in as major sub-group this context, skewed power relations, distribution rights, assets, resources, responsibilities mostly disadvantage women, particularly agriculture. Using data drawn from sample women beneficiaries under World Bank-funded Assam Agribusiness Rural Transformation Project (APART), our article examines...
Using an experimental auction, we estimate demand for stress-tolerant rice varieties (STRVs) in eastern India, where frequent covariate production risks are affecting the welfare of smallholder farmers. STRVs have potential to cope with low- medium-intensity abiotic stresses and stabilize productivity stress-prone ecosystems. The experiment involves a series farmers' decision-makings context STRV seed purchase, set environment minimal social frictions improved information availability....
