Present Status of Paddy Cultivation in Netrang
Region
•100 % farmers are adopting hybrid and composite seeds for
convention and SRI paddy cultivation method.
• Farmers attitude under conventional farming has been also
changed after getting SRI training.
• Cono-weeder is not used by any farmer for weeding
operation.
Cono-weeder is not used by any farmer for weeding
operation.
• In SRI field fertilizer use is increasing rather than use of FYM
(farm yard manure).
• conventional paddy cultivation method is gradually shifting to
SRI practice (new conventional method or partial SRI adopters)
•Traditional method is now no more widely practiced for paddy
cultivation.

ACTIONPLAN
Action Plan
Existing system for SRI implementation
1. Village level meeting for farmers
2. Selection of farmers and theoretical teaching
3. 200 Rs incentive for SRI practice for initial two years
4. Village level meeting conducted by EV(Extension volunteer) and Para worker
Major challenges
i. Farmers are participating in training but not following SRI
ii. Labour constraints during peak session
iii. Implementers and farmers deviation from core principle of SRIiii. Implementers and farmers deviation from core principle of SRI
iv. Agronomical practices
Intervention points
a) In village level meeting priority should be given to small land holding farmers
b) Practical demonstration of SRI steps in nearby field (seeing is believing); more
focus should be on core concept of SRI and input use pattern
c) Cono- weeder promotion
d) Efficient utilization of incentive money for better training and exposure to field
staff, farmers, and agriculture labors.
e) Develop push mechanism for partial SRI adopters.
f) Labor issues resolved by involvement of SHGs in agricultural practices
