Rajshahi and Rangpur sites and BR 10, BRRI dhan 30 and Ranjit for Jessore site. On the other hand,the T.aus rice varieties Pariza and Nayanmoni were mostly cultivated in Rajshahi.From the results of the study some variability was observed in adoption of varieties among differentcategories of farmers. Generally the medium and small groups of farmers have a tendency to cultivatethe rice varieties producing higher grain yield with the minimum involvement of inputs (i.e. seed,fertilizers, irrigation and pesticides) and management practices. It could be mentioned that BRRI dhan28 ( Boro) and Swarna (T. aman) are more adopted rice varieties among the medium and small farmergroups compared to large farmers in Rajshahi and Rangpur. On the other hand, the small farmers ofJessore are much interested to cultivate BRRI dhan30 because of its short life cycle and better grainquality.The dissemination of rice varieties mainly depends on land/soil type, seed availability, adaptation tothe local agro-climatic conditions, yielding ability of the varieties, grain quality, farmers’ motivationalactivities, cooking quality, marketing facilities and consumption behavior of local people (e.g. peopleof some areas like course rice but people of other region may consume fine rice). The farmers of thestudy areas used different varieties for grain/seed production due to variations of these productionfactors. Therefore, the adoption of rice varieties among the different farmer groups of the study areasdiffered remarkably.Table 4.1.10 Dissemination of different rice varieties in the study areas (2008-09)Cultivated by farmers (%)Rice varietyRajshahi Rangpur JessoreLarge Med.

The results also show that maximum number of26
large farmers had used all types of fertilizers followed by medium farmers. On the contrary, smallfarmers had a low tendency to apply all types of fertilizers because of their low purchase capacity andalso because of high price of fertilizers. Similarly, the small farmers at all sites grew rice cropswithout any micronutrient. It is observed that only average 34.4% farmers applied manure for ricecultivation. The percentage of farmers who applied urea, TSP, MP and Gypsum was 100, 74.9, 56.2and 66.7, respectively.Table 4.1.11 Percent of rice farmers using fertilizers in the study areas (2008-09)Average percentage of fertilizer using rice farmersFarmers’ categoryManure Urea TSP MP Gypsum ZnBoro riceRajshahi 30 100 73 59 80 3Rangpur 43 100 87 72 81 19Jessore 64 100 77 75 82 4Average (Boro) 45.7 100 79.0 68.7 81.0 8.7T.aman riceRajshahi 38 100 68 57 69 0Rangpur 52 100 75 67 69 7Jessore 26 100 78 71 75 2Average (T.aman) 45.7 100 79.0 68.7 81.0 3T.aus riceRajshahi 19 100 72 35 48 0Average (T.aus) 19 100 72 35 48 0Average (all rice) 34.4 100 74.9 56.2 66.7 04.1.13 Application of manures and fertilizers for rice grain/seed production (2008-09)The rates of manure and fertilizers application by the sample farmers for rice grain/seed productionwere studied and it is observed that all the farmers applied comparatively lower amount of fertilizersthan that of recommended doses except urea (Table 4.1.12 and Annexes 8-10).Table 4.1.12 Manure and fertilizer application rate for rice grain cultivationin the study areas (2008-09)Farmers’ categoryManure and fertilizer application rate in rice (kg/ha)Manure Urea TSP MP Gypsum ZnBoro riceRajshahi 2021 372 83 60 57 9Rangpur 6330 231 61 44 33 2.0Jessore 3419 336 115 71 110 0Average 3923 313 86 58 67 3.7Recommended 6000 371 148 178 100 7.5T.aman riceRajshahi 6181 291 70 31 56 -Rangpur 4831 229 75 45 91 -Jessore 4134 248 80 61 92 -Average 5049 256 75 46 80 -Recommended 5000 200 74 100 67 10T.aus riceRajshahi 5721 304 68 119 57 -Average 5721 304 68 119 57 -Recommended 4000 167 59 89 49 -27
