Summer Paddy Cultivation and Irrigation Needs : a study of BTAD region in Assam/ Phanindra Goyari
By: Goyari, Phanindra.
Publisher: Hyderabad, Telangana: Indian Council of Social Science Research, 2016Description: viii, 153p.Subject(s): Paddy Cultivation -- Food Cultivation -- Agriculture -- Assam, IndiaDDC classification: RG.0238 Summary: The study examines irrigation facilities for paddy cultivation in the BTAD region of Assam, India, with a focus on summer paddy. Using primary field survey data from 24 sample villages, the research highlights the emergence of summer paddy cultivation facilitated by short-duration HYV seeds and minor irrigation. Although the area allocated to summer paddy is currently low compared to the dominant winter season, it yields the highest production and returns. The study emphasizes the need for irrigation development, including small dams, shallow tubewells, and pumpsets, to support the growing interest in summer rice cultivation. It suggests that such initiatives, along with suitable price policies, fair price shops, and improved extension services, would benefit Assam's economy and increase agricultural production.| Item type | Current location | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
