Abstract :

System of Root Intensification method of crop cultivation are getting important place among small and marginal farmers in Gaya, Nalanda and Munger districts of Bihar. PRAN (Preservation and proliferation of Rural Resources and Nature) through SRI secretariat hosted by Livolink Foundatio, Bhubneshwar organized farmersâ?? field trial on System of Root Intensification method of Paddy cultivation in Gaya district of Bihar. Among three field trials first on age of seedlings and number of plants per hill revealed that single seedling transplanted at 10 days produced maximum yield as a result of high yield attributing characters, the second field trial on age of seedling X spacing revealed that 10 days single seedling transplanted at 25 cm X 25 cm produced higher yield when compared with 16 days double seedlings and 22 days double seedlings, the third trial on contribution of each principle of SRI (young age seedlings, Number of seedlings, spacing and mechanical weeding) reaffirmed the fact that 12 days old single seedling transplanted at 25 cm x 25 cm integrated with three mechanical weeding produced maximum grain yield. The local farmers participated in all research plots during harvesting and crop cutting to have joint understanding of learnings generated.
