Adoption of HYV rice cultivation technologies and its impact on resource use, productivity and women's role.

 

A site in Rajshahi district in north-western Bangladesh was selected and a block of 65 contiguous plots of different farmers was identified for data collection. Results showed that irrespective of toposequences, high yielding variety (HYV) rice was adopted on 68% of the total rice area. Positive correlation between yield and toposequences for HYV (r=0.18) and local varieties (r=0.14) were observed. Farmers used lower than the recommended doses of fertilizers for both HYV and local varieties. Significantly higher labour hours were devoted to HYV rice production. HYV gave significantly higher yield and net return compared to local variety. About 36% of the sample were landless farm families and the majority of this group are tribal people. Women provided 55%-81% of the total labour requirement for transplanting, weeding and harvesting and 76%-78% of the total labour requirement for the postharvest operations. Early and late drought, lack of draught power and short supply of working capital are the

 major constraints of HYV rice cultivation.
