Eighty percent of the rice seedswere self supplied. On the other hand, farmers collected 10% seeds from BADC. A very negligiblequantity of seed was supplied by DAE and other farmers (5% each). Farmers informed that the qualityof BADC seeds was not satiafactory.During PRA exercise in Rangpur, farmers identified six sources from where they used to collect riceseeds. These are dealer, other farmer, retailer, BADC, DAE and own. Figure 4.1.3 presents thedistribution of rice seed sources in the study area. It is clear from figure that the respondents collected71% of their own source rice seed. Other farmers occupied the second position by supplying 10% ofthe total requirement. Farmers procured a mentionable amount (7%) rice seeds from BADC. Thedealers, retailers and DAE sources supplied 6%, 4% and 2%, respectively of the total requirement.From the above results it is observed that the information regarding the seed sources as received fromthe questionnaire surveys and that of the PRA exercises for rice grain production varied a little exceptDAE. In survey, DAE was not found as separate entity as it was included in the other category sinceDAE’s contribution as a seed source was traced to be negligible. Additionally, it is likely that all thesame farmers did not attend both the studies (Survey and PRA) that might have caused this difference.

It isobserved that seed collected from Research Station yielded the highest in Rajshahi and Rangpur(6241kg and 6180 kg/ha), which were 27% and 28% higher, compared to that of farmers’ own seed.But in Jessore, the BADC seed produced the highest grain yield (5624 kg/ha), which was 22% morethan that of own seed. Moreover, the BADC seed increased the rice grain yield by 19% and 16% inRajshahi and Rangpur, respectively.Table 4.1.16 Effect of seed sources on the grain yield of Boro rice in the study areasSeedSourceMeanyield(kg/ha)Rajshahi%Yieldincr.*CV(%)Meanyield(kg/ha)Rangpur%Yieldincr.*CV(%)Meanyield(kg/ha)Jessore%Yieldincr.*CV(%)Average (allsites)Mean %yield Yield(kg/ha) incr.*BADC 5875 19 10.3 5624 16 9.7 5624 22 11.2 5708 19DAE 5234 6 15.1 0 0 - 5312 15 13.7 3515 7Seed Co. 5617 14 13.2 5465 13 14.1 5372 16 14.6 5485 14Seeddealer/Traders4974 1 14.1 5448 12 15.3 4479 -3 18.8 4967 3Research 6241 27 8.1 6180 28 9.4 5487 19 8.7 5969 25NGO 4892 -1 12.3 0 0 - 4321 -6 11.1 3071 -2Own seed 5131 - 13.7 4846 - 14.3 4617 - 16.4 4865 -Others 4486 -9 11.3 5211 8 15.2 4536 -2 13.2 4744 -1* Compared to own seed yield31
