I. Name of the state: Madhya Pradesh

II. Introduction

Madhya Pradesh literally means “central province” is located almost in the middle of India bordered

by Gujarat on the west, Rajasthan on the northwest, Uttar Pradesh on the northeast, Chhattisgarh on the

east, and Maharashtra on the south. This is the second largest state in terms of area and is thickly

covered by forests which account for one third of the state’s geographical area. The state is filled with all

types of geographical structures including hills, plains, plateaus, rivers and forests. Madhya Pradesh is an

agrarian state with about 74% population of the state depending directly or indirectly on agriculture.

Agriculture and its allied services contribute 31% share in the state’s economy. Madhya Pradesh is

constantly improving its agricultural produce by implementing various plans and projects. The

introduction of high yielding varieties of crops and utilization of various chemical fertilizers has brought a

revolution in the crop production.

In M.P. rice is grown in the area of about 15.59 lakh ha with production of 14.62 lakh tons and

productivity 989 kg/ha which is far below than the average national productivity (2010 kg/ha). In Madhya

Pradesh around 5000 ha is under hybrid rice particular in under irrigated production system. Rice hybrid

produce about 14-18% higher grain yield include a more vigorous and extensive root system (Yang and

Sung, 1988), increase growth rate during vegetative phase more efficient sink formation and greater sink

size (Kabaki,1993), greater carbohydrate translocation from vegetative part to spikelets (Song et al.1990),

larger leaf area index (LAI) during the grain filling period and increased spikelet number and to some

extent in grain weight (Agata,1990). In recent years, farmers are growing rice hybrids in lowlands and

bunded uplands under irrigated ecosystem in M.P. and Rewa division in particular consequently : the

productivity of rice is shown rising trench.

The System of Rice Intensification (SRI), developed in Madagascar over a 20-year period and synthesized

in the early 1980s (Stoop et al 2002; Uphoff et al 2002), offers opportunities to researchers and farmers

to expand their understanding of potentials already existing in the rice genome. The SRI methodology for

raising rice production makes three main changes in irrigated rice cultivation: transplanting younger

seedlings, preferably 8-14 days old before the plants enter their fourth phyllochron of growth, planting

the seedlings singly rather than in clumps of 3-6 plants, and keeping the paddy soil moist but not

continuously saturated during the plants' vegetative growth phase.

System of rice intensification is referred as a set of practices rather than a technology based

upon a number of insights in to how to create the best growing environments for rice plants as

compared to other improved methods of rice cultivation under limited water resources.

III Rice Production scenario of India: overview

In MP, total area under rice production is 1.7 million ha in which only 223 thousands ha

comes under irrigated situation. Total rice production is 1710 thousand tonnes in which 1313 thousands

tonnes is from rain fed and 397 thousand tonnes is from irrigated area. The productivity of total rice area

in MP is 1103 kg/ha while irrigated area has 1273 kg/ha.

IV. Geographical indicator

a. Climate The climate of Madhya Pradesh plays an integral role in dividing the state into six

distinctive parts. Madhya Pradesh enjoys a tropical climate. The summers are hot and humid and

the winters are extremely pleasant. The mercury shows a steady rise from the month of March

with the mean maximum temperature hovering somewhere between 40-42.5 degree Celsius.

May is possibly the hottest month. The moisture-laden clouds bring some rain and relief in June

though.

The monsoon brings a substantial change in the weather of Madhya Pradesh. Beginning in the

end of June and extending till the end of August, the monsoon brings succor to the parched land.

Madhya Pradesh records the maximum rainfall from June to September. Some rainfall is also

recorded during December and January due to the low pressure build up. The end of monsoon

announces the arrival of the winters. The mercury plummets sharply during the months of

December and January. The average temperature can drop as low as -10 degree Celsius in

northern Madhya Pradesh.

Based on the climate of Madhya Pradesh, the state can be clearly classified into six physical

divisions, mainly the Northern Plain, The Hilly Region of the Vindhyas, The Narmada Valley, The

Malwa Plateau, The Plains of Chhattisgarh and the mountainous region of Bastar. The Northern

Plains experiences extreme climatic conditions. The Hilly Region of the Vindhyas enjoys far

moderate weather and is the ideal locations to set up health resorts like the Amarkantak and

Panchmarhi. The Malwa Plateau also enjoys an equable climate while the plains of Chhattisgarh

experience a fairly hot climate. Winters are extremely cold though. The hot and humid climate

of Bastar is attributed to the rains.

The climate of Madhya Pradesh is characterized by a monsoon weather pattern. There are three distinct

seasons - summer (March to May), winter (November to February), and the intervening rainy months of

the southwest monsoon (June to September).

Madhya Pradesh experiences extreme temperatures both during summer and winter. In summer, the

temperature goes up to 42 degree Celsius and in winters it falls tremendously down. From March the

temperature starts rising and from October the temperature starts falling. The temperature also varies

from place to place in the state. The hottest place is Gwalior in summer where temperature reaches up

to 42 degree Celsius while in Bhopal the temperature is close to 40 degree Celsius. The average

temperature in winter hovers around 10 degree Celsius.

Madhya Pradesh receives maximum rainfall from June to September. The average rainfall varies from

112cm in eastern Madhya Pradesh to 50-62.5cm in northern and western Madhya Pradesh.

Based on its climate, Madhya Pradesh can be divided into six regions namely:

• The Northern Plains

• The Narmada Valley

• The plains of Chhattisgarh (Chhattisgarh is now a separate state)

• The Hilly Region of the Vindhyas

• The Malwa Plateau

• The mountainous region of Bastar

Nagkesar : Useful to persons troubled with lung diseases

Kalimoonch: Whole plant extract used externally for skin troubles.

Bhejri*: Given with linseed seeds and Gur to cows after delivery for early removal of placenta

Resairi: Puffed rice mixed with bark of Saccharum spontaneum is useful in chronic cough and Rice

water is useful as a tonic for cattles.

XIII : Special development programe in rice sector of the state :

Rice cultivation by Medagaskar demonstration , SRPP( Department of Agriculture , Rice fallow – Chickpea

,( ACRISAT –NFSM ) and AICRIP- FLD, were carried out in the state to promote the farmers for cultivation

of rice

XIV. Status of recent methods /technologies :

a. SRI: This method was popularized in the state very effectively by the Department of Agriculture

and JNKVV Jabalpur . The scientists of AICRIP , KVK 's were actively engaged to popularize the SRI

in Rewa , Shahdol , Jabalpur , Panna , Sidhi ,Umaria Balaghat , Seoni etc . Very good impact were

assessed . Farmers were achieved the rice grain yield ranging from 60 to 90q/ha under SRI in

highly yielding varieties and hybrids .Approximately 25000ha area was under SRI at present in the

state.

b. Aerobic rice :This method was adopted in Jabalpur ,Damoh ,Satna , Panna and Katni district and

with the efforts of JNKVV scientists the area may be increased in many folds in future .

c. Hybrid rice:

XV. Institutes involved in rice development in the state :

JNKVV Jabalpur has three centers for rice research viz , Jabalpur , Waraseoni , and Rewa .The

AICRIP Project is located at Rewa and multidisciplinary research work is in progress . Similarly

ICAR voluntary centers are located at Jabalpur and Waraseoni and very good efforts were made

for the release of public hybrids at Jabalpur viz , JRH 4 , JRH5 JRH 11

Constraints of rice production :

a. Biotic stress :

Disease :Leaf blast , brown spot , bacterial blight ,sheath blight , , False smut , seed discoloration

Insect Pest :Leaf folder , Case worm , gundhi bug , WBPH , BPH, Stem borer

b. Abiotic stress : Poor Erratic rainfall, High temperature , Khaira , ( Zinc deficiency ) poor fertilizer

application ,Poor supply of electricity ,in adequate supply of fertilizers in time are identified the

main constraints of rice in the state

d. Institutional constraints :

1.Man power and financial crisis in the Agriculture Universities are the main constraints

2.Poor linkage of Department of Agriculture with Agric Universities

3 Poor .Transfer of Agriculture Technology through agricultural department and allied departments

XVII Strategies and modern technology to enhance rice production :

1.SRI demonstration in large scale

2.Aerobic rice demonstration

3.Adoption of Hybrid rice under SRI for Private and Public hybrids

To increase the productivity of the state , among the limited option, hybrid rice is one of the most

feasible and practically adaptable approach, as hybrid give 1.0 to 1.5 t/ha additional yield with the same

level of fertilizer application as given to high yielding inbred varieties. Large scale adoption of hybrid rice

will help to meet the increasing demand of rice in future. At research level, more focused efforts is

needed towards a early-medium maturing hybrid ideally suited to the kharif irrigated as well as rain fed

areas of the state.

This will help the farmers of the state to go for rabi crop in partially irrigated situation. Planning and

organizing seed production vis-à-vis the projected area under hybrids, identifying reliable organization in

the seed industry, development of technical manpower and strengthening of technology transfer

strategy like front line demonstration at different rice growing situations of the state

Apart from the popularization of this early maturing variety there appears a fair chance of developing and

popularization of rice hybrids both for favorable (irrigated) as well as for rained situations. In favorable

situations medium maturing and in rained early maturing hybrids have a great potential for enhancing

the yield by 15-20%. In rained situation the early maturing hybrids are best substitute to the early

maturing varieties.

Most of the rice growing districts of the state normally received 1000 mm or more rainfall but the

mansoon rains generally terminated in the month of September, the early maturing hybrids if cultivated

will mature before the cease of mansoon rains there by adverse effect of non availability of water will not

be face by the crop. The potential area of the state for hybrid cultivation are Sidhi, Rewa, Satna, Shahdol,

Umaria, Katni, Seoni Balaghat, Jabalpur, Budni, and some districts of Gird region.

In Madhya Pradesh many seed companies are marketing their hybrids some of the major players are Pro-

Agro, Syngenta, Ralles, Zuari, Nath, Bioseed, JK Seeds and many others. The major areas of their seed

business are Rewa, Satna, shadol, Umaria, Katni, Seoni, Balaghat, Jabalpur, Budni and some districts of

Gird region. During kharif 2008 of 450 tons of hybrid was sold to the farmers and it is interesting to see

that these companies are marketing hybrids of medium duration even then the farmers are cultivating

them. If early duration hybrids will be available to them acceptance of this innovative technology will be

many fold.

Limited access for farmers to seeds of improved hybrids is one of the major factors contributing to low

farm productivity. In spite of massive Breeder and Foundation seed production programs undertaken by

SAUs and public sector seed producing agencies, the supply of certified seed of hybrids to farmers is

insufficient, thus force them to grow farmers saved seed of age old varieties with low yield potential. The

seed replacement rate remains very low. A shift to sustainable agriculture production requires

fundamental changes to the hybrid seed production and security systems with the development of

hybrids in rice and other crops. The need foe good quality seeds were more intensely realized. Increased

availability of quality seed of hybrid will realize the yield up-to 40%

Hybrid seed security is an important issue in India due to frequent droughts and climatic adversities. In

spite of large number of private seed sector agencies the seed is not reaching to the farmers. On farm

seed is the major component of seed supply (85%) and seed security in MP and it is not stable, difficult

and very risky to develop sustainable seed security strategy based on only such component

Farmer’s participatory hybrid seed production is one of the options to meet the large quantity hybrid

seed required for promotion of hybrid rice cultivation in larger area in the country. This will help the

farmers of the state to become self sufficient in quality seed availability without much dependence on

the out side agencies. The programe will give empowerment to the farmers in seed production at village

level.

CONSTRAINTS

In spite of having great potential to enhance production and productivity of rice in the state, hybrid rice

technology has not been adopted on large scale as was expected. This is due to several constraints.

♦ Yield advantage in some of the hybrids is marginal and inconsistent across locations due to

improper management.

♦ Lower market price offered for the hybrid rice produce by millers/traders, is acting as a deterrent

for many farmers to take up hybrid rice cultivation.

♦ Higher seed cost is another deterrent for large scale adoption.

♦ Efforts for creating awareness and for technology transfer were inadequate in initial stages.

♦ Involvement of public sector seed corporations in large scale seed production has been less than

desirable.

♦ Non-availability of quality seed at reasonable price.

♦ We don’t have early-medium maturing rice hybrids with medium slender grain quality.

Objectives of Research Programmes

• To provide mechanisms to faming community to improve their living standards and quality of life.
