AAV: According to findings of 2002 Agricultural Review local people and partners reported an increase of
133.45% in yield in the paddy and 138.06% in paddy production compared to the period before the area was
irrigated. Availability of irrigation water has increased the cropping frequency from one to three times a year.
Farmers can avoid crop losses due to flooding by altering their cropping season.
Findings of that review also show that because of use of IPM, people now spray pesticides an average of 1.7
times per season versus 3 to 4 times a year before.
