Shri Atul Bora, Hon’ble Minister for Agriculture welcomed the participants to Assam and appreciated the efforts of AAU for organizing the AICRIP meeting in Assam for the first time. He appreciated the activities of rice research and development by AAU and their adoption across the state and country. However he mooted the development of varieties for multiple stresses like drought and floods instead of varieties for a single stress. Hence it could be ‘one solution for many problems’. He also highlighted the development of two mega varieties ‘Ranjit-Sub1’ and ‘Bahadur-Sub1’ and called for the development of drought tolerant varieties. He expressed his gratitude to Union Minister of Agriculture for granting Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI) for North Eastern Region. He urged the group to make rice farming profitable and remunerative by focusing on the mechanization and direct seeded rice considering the labor shortage in rice cultivation. He desired inbuilt periodic review for adoption of technologies and their upscaling. He stressed upon the importance of speciality rices viz., Bora rice and their promotion similar to that of Basmati rice. He mentioned the example of timely intervention by State Government in the control of swarming caterpillar in rice cultivation during kharif 2016. With regards to the doubling of farmer’s income, he has demanded for the development of management technologies in addition to the development of varieties. He informed the house about the FAO-IRRI collaboration for sustainable rice production in Africa and Asia and urged the house to take the advantage of this association. He concluded his message calling for commitment for


3

technological innovations in rice farming from the group to meet the national and international expectations and making rice cultivation remunerative for farmers.

Dr I.S. Solanki, ADG (FFC), ICAR complimented the contribution of AICRIP in the country’s record food grain production of 270 million tons with contribution of ~109 million tons of rice and the impact of AICRIP being the largest AICRIP group with 45 funded and 100 voluntary centers with 196 scientists. He mentioned about the major outbreaks of pests and diseases of rice in the last season viz., tungro in Bongaigaon, neck blast in Assam, sheath blight in Punjab, Haryana and Karnataka. He mentioned about the varieties and hybrids released; quantity of breeder seed production, FLDs and the impact of demonstrated technologies. He called for focus on redesigning of indica plant type with strong culm more laboratories for quality analyses, nutrient use efficient genotypes, prebreeding efforts for introgressing desirable genes from wild species and local landraces, maximising water productivity by developing drought and heat tolerant varieties and integrated pest and disease management stressing for tolerance towards stem borer and sheath blight. In his concluding remarks, he emphasized for more productivity oriented technologies.

Pandey and Co-chaired by Dr. I.S. Solanki, ADG (FFC) in M.C. Das Memorial Auditorium. The chairman welcomed the delegates for the general session of varietal improvement program. Dr. V. Ravindra Babu summarized the results of AICRIP experiments in various disciplines and achievements of lead research made during 2016 at IIRR, Hyderabad. He informed that rice AICRIP network is the largest in the country involving 45 funded, 72 voluntary centres and 10 private organizations involving > 376 scientists. In the current year a total of 45 varietal trials, 4 Hybrid trials, 1 screening nursery (NSDWSN) and 5 INGER nurseries were conducted across 7 zones, 29 states and 2 Union territories. Across various ecosystems, 27 promising entries were identified from AICRIP trials. Breeder seed production programme was taken up in 43 centres involving 284 varieties and 8 hybrids with a production of 8764 q. It was followed by the presentation of salient achievements of lead research in plant breeding department such as identification of novel yield enhancing QTLs namely qYLD-6.1, qYLD-11.1 and qYLD 11.2 in Jarava, nomination of promising boro breeding material, development and registration of novel genetic stock for planthopper resistance and development of protocols for value added rice-based food products for iron and zinc fortification. In hybrid rice trials, a set of 114 hybrid entries were tested of which 10 promising hybrids were identified. Ten hybrids by CVRC and 5 hybrids by SVRC were released during 2016. Two major dominant genes of BB (Xa21 and Xa33), gall midge (Gm4 and Gm8) and blast (Pi2 and Pi54) were introgressed through MABB into DRR17B, RPHR1005 and Akshyadhan. A QTL namely qBL-3 conferring leaf and neck blast resistance was fine mapped. In vitro bioavailability studies of DRR Dhan-45 revealed that zinc content and its bioavailability were almost twice that of the control variety. In agronomy experiments 11 genotypes responded to 50% RDN. In cultural management trials, mechanical transplanting followed in SRI recorded higher grain yield . In weed management trials the efficient dose of Rinskor, a new herbicide was worked out to be 31.25 g a.i./ha. Keeping in view the water scarcity direct seeding is advocated. Site specific nutrient management was superior to RDF and farmer’s practice. Improvement in grain yield was reported with gypsum amendment along with recommended NPK over non amended control. Drought, heat and low light intensity tolerant entries were identified in physiological experiments. While summarizing the results of plant protection experiments mention was made about 58 promising entries that emerged from testing 1633 entries in host plant resistance trials against different pests. One thousand two hundred and eighty eight blast resistant lines were recorded in uniform blast nurseries. In an effort to spread the


5

new technologies among farmers under FLD program, 549 technologies were evaluated in 550 hectare area and 50 promising technologies demonstrated. Mobile agri clinic program was initiated wherein a group of scientists visited farmers’ fields and advised them appropriate varieties suited to their conditions. In addition, supply of quality seed of recommend resistant varieties against prevailing pests and diseases was made. In-situ analysis of soil samples followed by recommendation of fertilizers was carried out. During the crop growth period fourteen multi-disciplinary teams consisting of 41 Scientists monitored 631 trials conducted in 99 centres. A ten point strategy for future research was formulated as mentioned below.

1. Enhancing genetic yield potential by utilizing the genome sequence information. 2. Enhancing rice yields through prebreeding for broadening the genetic base of

varieties and hybrids. 3. Improved grain and nutritional quality and value addition. 4. Maximising water productivity and sustaining soil health. 5. Development of climate resilient rice varieties and hybrids.. 6. Improving resource use efficiency i.e., low input with high profitability to

Sreedevi, Principal Scientist (Agronomy) and Dr. M.B.B. Prasad Babu, Principal Scientist (Soil Science), IIRR, Hyderabad acted as rapporteurs.

At the outset, the Chairman welcomed all the delegates and in his opening remarks stressed on the improvement of rice quality aspects such as Vitamin A and zinc. He emphasized that better management of nutrient deficiencies like sulphur and micro nutrients, zinc and iron is essential. He suggested to concentrate research work on water deficit and shifting towards organic farming under the climate change scenario, in addition to studies on mitigation of greenhouse gasses from rice paddies and introduction of legume crops in rice systems. He also suggested to explore the scope of organic cultivation in north-east regions, identification of niche varieties like basmati rice under organic farming and rice cultivation under micro irrigation.

The Chairman called upon the respective Principal Investigators to present the progress report for the year 2016.

AGRONOMY

Dr. R. Mahender Kumar, Principal Investigator summarized the results of 284 experiments conducted at 58 locations.

IET cultures viz. 24192 (EH-Irrigated), 24692 (E-DS), 24347 (IM-TP), 24241 (Late), 244451 (RSL), 23906 (SDW), 24440 (Biofortified), 24434 (CSTVT), 25484 (NIL-BLAST), 25667 (NIL-DRT) and 25673 (NIL-SUB) showed high nitrogen use efficiency.

Manual transplanting gave the highest grain yield (4.6 t/ha), followed by mechanised transplanting (4.32 t/ha) and wet direct seeded using drum seeder (4.18 t/ha) under puddled condition while under unpuddled condition aerobic rice resulted in higher grain yield (2.83 t/ha) compared to dry direct seeded rice and semi-dry rice.

Mechanical transplanting with all the principles of SRI recorded higher grain yield (5.18 t/ha) and among nutrient management practices LCC based N application gave the highest grain yield (5.43 t/ha).

Saturation water maintenance to PI, resulted in the highest grain yield (6.79 t/ha), which was at par with alternate wetting and drying (6.61 t/ha). Site specific nutrient management based on Nutrient Expert resulted in the highest grain yield (5.41 t/ha) across 7 locations.


8

Bio-stimulant (LBS6) (3 sprays @ 1 ml/L at nursery, 30 and 60 DAT) along with RDF resulted in the highest grain yield (5.53 t/ha).

The yield gap between farmers’ fields and experimental stations was 33% at Navsari, Coimbatore and Chinsura.

Application of NCU @ 75% RDF gave on par yields with 100% PU (basal, maximum tillering and PI) resulting in a saving of 25% in RDF-N.

Rinskor (31.25-37.5 g/ha) at 4-7 leaf stage was effective in controlling weeds.

RP Bio 226, DRR Dhan 44 and Swarna Shreya were weed suppressive cultivars with a high weed control efficiency of 85.33, 84.96, 28 and 27.60%, respectively.

Application of Azotobacter + PSB + brown manuring with dhaincha + residue mulch @ 2 t/ha + 75% RDF recorded higher grain yields by 3 - 24% over RDF + split application of N.

During interaction, the Chairman suggested to have collaboration with other AICRPs on weed management and cropping systems.

The Co-Chairman suggested reorientation of the experimental trials so as to develop the comprehensive set of recommendations in realizing the full potential yield, to indentify reasons for declining yields and also to identify varieties for conservation agriculture. Dr. Srinivasa Murthy, Director (Research), CAU, Imphal, also suggested to identify the reasons for decline in the yield. Dr. J.S. Sandhu, DDG (CS), ICAR, suggested that the results be presented agro-climatic zone-wise, and to identify dominant and economic package of practices zone-wise. He also suggested to discontinue nitrogen variety trials of AVT-2 for promoting new varieties and to frame new experiments for agronomic package for deep and semi-deep water ecosystem, weed management in direct seeded rice. Dr. V. Ravindra Babu, Director, IIRR, suggested to carry the out analysis of soils parameters in all the trials.

SOIL SCIENCE

Dr. K. Surekha, Principal Investigator (Soil Science) presented the results of 45 experiments conducted at 18 locations during 2016.

Long term soil fertility management in RBCS indicated the consistent superiority of conjunctive use of recommended dose of fertilizers with 5 t FYM/ha at Titabar while it was on par with RDF and FYM alone treatments at Maruteru and Mandya.

Site specific integrated nutrient management (SSINM) in farmers' fields was beneficial over the currently recommended blanket fertilizer dose and fertilizer practices of the farmers.

In sodic soils, gypsum application in conjunction with NPK fertilization improved grain yields by 60-95% over control while DRR Dhan 42 and 43, CSR 36 and 43 exhibited better tolerance to sodicity in addition to producing highest yields.

Normal sowing resulted in higher nutrient uptake and recorded higher grain yields by 7 - 17% over late sowing.

In acid soils, supplementation of recommended NPK with lime and double PK improved grain yield by 4 to 19%.


9

Transplanted rice system performed better over DSR and aerobic rice by 15 - 19% at Kanpur while DSR was superior to transplanted rice at Moncompu. Substitution of 25 – 50% inorganic fertilizers by organic sources gave higher yields.

SSNM based on NE recommendations, registered higher yields ranging from 4 to 8 tons/ha over SSNM based on LCC/Green Seeker, nutrient omission plots and Fertilizer Practices of the farmers.

Bio-intensive pest management reduced pest incidence and increased natural enemy population there by resulting in higher grain yield (by 11-40%) as compared to FP.

During the interaction, the Chairman suggested selection of the ruling variety in a particular zone under SSNM trials and to have collaboration with salinity group of CSSRI, Karnal on salinity trial and also with AICRP on LTFE. Dr. J.S. Sandhu, DDG (CS), ICAR, suggested to study in detail the reasons for contradictory results under TPR and DSR systems at different locations. He also suggested to explore the possibility of introducing novel treatments like vermi-composting or modifying the present treatments under Long Term Experiments. He suggested to finalize the technical program in collaboration with Agronomy and Physiology programs. He also suggested to work out nutrient requirement for specific targeted yields. Dr. Himanshu Pathak, Director, NRRI and Co-Chairman, suggested to discontinue the trial on neem coated urea as much work has already been done.

PLANT PHYSIOLOGY

Dr. D. Subrahmanyam, Principal Investigator (Plant Physiology) presented the results of 43 trials conducted at 14 locations in the year 2016.

Application of silicon solubilizers and silixol improved crop health, thereby inducing better partitioning and improved grain yields.

Cultures, IET 25115, IET25134 and IET25121 at Faizabad and IET25123 at Pattambi were found to be drought tolerant and suitable for upland cultivation.

Genotypes, IET 24705, IET24796, IET24053, 377-24, and Gontra Bidhan-3 were the most tolerant genotypes for high temperature while S-458, Sahabhagidhan, SG-26-120 and IR-82635-B-B-47- moderately tolerant.

Cultures, AC-39416-A, IET 25323, IET 23335 and Sahabhagidhan under water stress (1% and 2% mannitol);, IET24971, IET25336 and IR64 under salinity stress; IET24971, IET25336 and IR64 under submergence stress; IET 23216 and IET 24674 for cold tolerance were found to be superior.

Based on stability analysis it was found that Rasi, MTU1010, Sampada, BPT5204, Jaya and crosses Sampada x Jaya/2 (G3) and Sampada x Jaya/3 (G4) were nitrogen use efficient.

Vivekdhan 86, Tulasi and IET 24192 alongwith the check (Swarnaprabha) were moderately tolerant to light stress.

Chairman appreciated the PI for presenting valuable data and suggested to take the help of state of the art facilities developed under NICRA at CRIDA, Hyderabad. Co-Chairman


10

added to bring out one or two important indices which can be used by others also. He also suggested to identify specific physiological parameters for NUE and heat tolerance. Dr. A.K. Sarial, vice Chancellor, HPKV emphasized the help of a statistician in analyzing the stability data. Dr. J. Meher, NRRI, Cuttack suggested to conduct the trial on temperature tolerance in Rabi season also, so that the increase in temperature would be high.

Dr. J.S. Sandhu, DDG (CS), ICAR, suggested for the conclusion of trial on silica soon, to study the drought stress zone wise and to collaborate with NRRI on low light incentivization.

FRONTLINE DEMONSTRATIONS (FLDs)

Dr. Shaik N. Meera, Senior Scientist and Coordinator, FLD Programme reported that 559 FLDs were conducted in 20 states during 2015-16 under irrigated ecosystems (67%), rainfed uplands (9%), shallow lowlands (19%) , Hill Ecosystem (3%) and identified 50 promising technologies. The yield increase in FLDs over that of farmers’ practice ranged from 8-42%.

The Chairman, suggested an increase in the number of FLDs on mechanization and resource management. Co-chairman suggested to study the advantages like saving in nutrients, water, increase in organic carbon etc., in addition to yield in trials with less yield gap and to come out with specific reasons wherever the yield gaps are high, which can be suggested to state governments.

Dr. V. Ravindra Babu, Director, IIRR, Hyderabad in his concluding remarks expressed that henceforth AVT-2 nitrogen trials will not be conducted as desired by DDG (CS) and also to merge the trials of agronomy, physiology and soil science wherever possible.

GENERAL SESSION

PLANT PROTECTION

Chairman : Dr. L.K. Hazarika Co-chairman : Dr. B. C. Das Rapporteurs : Dr. B. Jhansi Rani Dr. D. Krishnaveni

At the outset, Chairman spoke about role of biotic stresses (insect pests and diseases) in rice production and importance of addressing the issues concerned to these stresses.

Dr.Gururaj Katti, PI of Entomology initially presented pest survey reports in which he gave the status of major pest scenario in the country with special reference to army worm out-break in eastern states followed by the results of various trials carried out at 38 locations across the country.

1. Host plant resistance studies comprised of seven screening experiments conducted at 36 locations. Evaluation of 82 entries in Planthopper screening trial (PHS) indicated 4 entries viz., BPT 2611, JGL 27371, MTU 1245 and MTU 1247 as promising against BPH & WBPH. Evaluation of 70 entries in Gall midge screening trial (GMS) showed 12 promising lines viz., JGL 3828, JGL 21831, JGL 25998, JGL 27058, JGL 27075, KNM 1632, KNM1724, KNM 2275, KNM 1623, KNM 1638, WGL-825 and WGL-1062. Augmented field screening of 20 entries in Leaf folder Screening Trial (LFST) revealed 4 promising entries including MP 11 and MP 209 (TN1/ W1263) in 6 valid tests. In Stem borer screening trial (SBST), 3 promising entries viz., IIRR-BIO-SB-8, RP 5588-B-B-B-B-38 and RP 5588-B-B-B-B-159-2 were identified in terms of low dead hearts, white ear damage and high grain yield. Multiple Resistance Screening Trial (MRST) against 9 insect pests helped in identification of 4 entries viz., Co50, Bahadur, Varalu and KNM113 as promising. National Screening Nurseries viz., NSN1: identified 5 entries viz., Co 43 (RP), IR 64, IET Nos 25640, 25512 and 23610 as promising. NSN2: identified six entries viz., IET Nos 25913, 25951, 25959, 25882 and 26227 as promising. NSN Hills: identified IET 25832 and IET 25849 as promising. NHSN: identified IET Nos 25750, 24006 and 24159 as promising.

2. Insect biotype studies comprised of three trials: Gall midge biotype monitoring trial (GMBT) against 6 different biotypes and one population of gall midge identified Aganni (Gm8 ) and INRC 3021(Gm8) and W1263 (Gm1) as promising. Evaluation of the gene differentials through single female progeny testing in Gall midge Population monitoring (GMPM) trial revealed that Aganni (Gm8) holds promise at Sakoli and Ragolu. Planthopper special screening trial (PHSS) revealed that two gene differentials viz., PTB 33 with bph2+Bph3+unknown factors and RP 2068-18-3-5 with unknown genetics were promising. Rathu Heenati with Bph3+Bph17 genes, Swarnalatha with Bph 6 gene and Babawee with bph 4 gene were also promising.

3. Chemical Control Studies: In insecticide evaluation trial (IET) based on the performance of the insecticide treatments for their efficacy in reducing pest infestation, it was evident that spinetoram plus methoxyfenozide was on par with recommended rynaxypyr and flubendiamide treatments against stem borer and leaf folder. DPX-RAB 55 (Triflumezopyrim) and dinotefuran treatments were superior to the newer combination product against sucking pests viz., planthoppers, leafhoppers and gundhi


12

bug. Botanical Insecticide Evaluation Trial (BIET) revealed that the botanicals-Neemazal and Nimbecidine were found effective in reducing damage by stem borer. Against the populations of plant and leafhoppers they were moderately effective. Botanicals were relatively safer to mirid bug than spiders.

4. Ecological studies included a trial on Effect of planting dates on insect pest incidence (EPDP) which revealed that the highest damage of dead hearts was observed at Titabar in late planting (27.51%) followed by Navasari. Similarly, white ear damage was high in late planting at Navasari (25.84%). Highest population of BPH (12/ hill) was observed in late planting and WBPH (13/hill) in normal planting at Gangavathi. In general, pest incidence was high under later planting.

5. Biocontrol and Biodiversity Studies: Observations on species composition of stem borer revealed the presence of four species distributed over nine locations with YSB being dominant in 8 locations. The egg mass parasitisation ranged from 14.58-90.00%. The average composition of the three egg parasitoids across locations was Tetrastichus (36.47%), Telenomus (23.41%) and Trichogramma (52.08%). All locations had a mixed population of planthoppers with BPH being dominant. Ecological engineering for pest management (EEPM) interventions increased the natural enemy populations like mirids, spiders and coccinellids and increased egg parasitisation across the locations. Bio intensive pest management trial (BIPM) initiated in four locations revealed that the pest incidence was reduced in BIPM plots as in Chinsurah and Titabar, The natural enemies were higher in BIPM plots in all locations.

6. Integrated Pest Management studies: Yield loss estimation trial (YLET) results included Regression analysis showing a significant negative relationship between per cent white ears and grain yield at Chinsurah, Pantnagar, Coimbatore and IIRR. Integrated Pest Management special (IPMs) trial was conducted in a holistic way in a participatory mode in farmers’ fields. Implementation of IPM practices reduced the severity of insect pests, diseases and weed population in IPM implemented plots as compared to farmers practice at different locations. The IPM plot also showed higher yield and BC ratios.

7. Population dynamics of major insect pests assessed through light trap across the locations, indicated that maximum number of insect species was recorded at Titabar (14) followed by Jagdalpur and Coimbatore centres reporting 10 species. Planthoppers followed by stem borer continued to be the most important pests in terms of numbers as well as spread across the locations.

PLANT PATHOLOGY

Dr. M. Srinivas Prasad, Principal Investigator, presented the results of coordinated

Plant Pathology trials conducted during 2016. During 2016, a total of 14 trials were

conducted at 46 locations on host plant resistance, field monitoring of virulence in major

pathogens and disease management. He mentioned that five national screening nurseries

comprising of 2590 entries were evaluated for their reactions to major rice diseases

mentioned about the promising entries in different nurseries for major diseases and the test

entries showing resistance to more than two diseases. The promising cultures included IET #

25501 (resistant to sheath blight, bacterial leaf blight, rice tungro disease), 23930 (resistant to

neck blast, bacterial leaf blight), 24519 (resistant to neck blast, sheath rot), 24956 (resistant to

leaf blast, glume discoloration), 25278 (resistant to leaf blast, neck blast) in NSN-1; 25186


13

(resistant to neck blast, brown spot, sheath rot) in NSN-2; 25813 (resistant to neck blast,

sheath blight), 25167 (resistant to leaf blast, neck blast), 25826 (resistant to neck blast,

bacterial leaf blight), 25834 (resistant to brown spot, bacterial leaf blight), 25840 and 25841

(resistant to leaf blast, neck blast) in NSN-H; 25739, 25748, 25750 and 25790 (resistant to

leaf blast, glume discoloration) in NHSN; VL-31430 (resistant to leaf blast, glume

discoloration, rice tungro disease) in DSN.

Results of field monitoring of virulence of Pyricularia grisea across the hot spot locations

revealed a major shift in pathogen profile structure at many locations. The reaction pattern of

genotypes was grouped into six major groups viz., Almora, Cuttack, Ghaghraghat, Imphal,

Varanasi, Navsari, Umiam, Ponnampet, Pattambi and Gangavati were in group one;

Jagadalpur, Khudwani and Malan in group two; Coimbatore and Gudalur in group 3;

Lonavala and New Delhi in group 4; Karjat, Nellore, IIRR, Mugad, Mandya and Upper

Shillong in group 5 and Rajendranagar in group 6. Similarly, data on virulence monitoring of

Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae revealed a shift in pathogen virulence profile and most of

the 2, 3, 4 and 5 genes combinations lines showed susceptibility at some locations indicating

shift towards higher virulence. Data on disease observation nursery revealed that early

sowing of the crop in the 1st fortnight of June 2016 favoured the build up of inoculum of

Rhizoctonia solani and Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae and late sowing favoured the

multiplication of Sarocladium oryzae and Bipolaris oryzae.

Under the management trials, combination fungicide tricyclazole 20% SC+ tebuconazole

16% SC (36 SC) at two different concentration (2.0 ml/l & 2.25 ml/l) in comparson with

individual molecule of tricyclazole 75% WP and tebuconazole 25% EC against fungal

diseases of rice was evaluated. Combination fungicide at higher concentration (2.25 ml/l)

significantly reduced severity and intensity of leaf blast, sheath blight and brown spot,

whereas it was on par with check fungicide (tricyclazole 75 WP) in case of neck blast. The

same product at lower concentration (2.0 ml/l) performed on par with the check fungicides in

reducing the intensity of leaf blast, sheath blight and brown spot. In case of sheath rot, both

the concentrations of test product significantly reduced both disease incidence and severity.

Integrated disease management trial revealed that sheath blight and bacterial blight were

managed with slight modifications in the cultivation practices at Maruteru, Moncompu and

Pattambi. The results on chemical control of false smut disease trial revealed that fungicide

viz., azoxystrobin 18.2% + difenoconazole 11.4% w/w SC @ 1.0 ml/l performed well by

reducing both percentage of infected panicles/m2 and infected spikelet/panicle along with

higher grain yield at different centers.

PRODUCTION ORIENTED SURVEY

Dr. G. S. Laha, Principal Scientist, Plant pathology, presented production oriented survey

carried out in 20 states of India by 24 AICRIP centres. He reported that the rainfall during

monsoon season (June-September) over the country as a whole was 97% of its long period

average (LPA). The area under HYVs has increased significantly in states like Chhattishgarh,

Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh and steadily

increasing in states like Bihar, Gujarat, Karnataka, Odisha and West Bengal. The major

problems faced by the farmers were shortage of agricultural labour, timely availability of

seeds, farm mechanization market facility and farm loan. Among the different diseases, blast,

neck blast, brown spot, sheath blight, sheath rot, false smut, grain discoloration and bacterial

blight were wide spread. High neck blast was observed in some areas of Assam and

Karnataka. High incidence of sheath blight was observed in many fields in Haryana, Punjab,

Odisha and Karnataka. Rice tungro was observed in Bongaigaon district of Assam in severe


14

form. Severe outbreak of false smut was recorded on varieties like Moti Gold and others in

Ambedkarnagar district of Uttar Pradesh. Among the insect pests, stem borer, leaf folder and

brown plant hopper were wide spread. There was severe attack of army worm and ear cutting

caterpillar in several districts of Assam causing severe damage to the rice crop. There was

severe infestation of rice hispa in parts of Assam especially in the districts of Sonitpur,

Udalguri, Lakhimpur and Golaghat and also in some areas in Madhya Pradesh. The intensity

of different weeds was more in direct sowing than in transplanted rice. In addition to hand

weeding, farmers used different herbicides for the management of weeds.

Discussion:

During the discussion in reply to the Chairman’s question on number of stem borer species reported in India, Dr. Katti informed that among the 6 stem borer species reported three species viz., (yellow, pink and white stem borer) were important.

Replying to the query by Dr.B.N.Singh on reaction of the pests to mega varieties, PI informed that mega varieties did not posses any resistance. However, some of the varieties released from Maruteru were reasonably tolerant to BPH.

In the concluding remarks the Chairman emphasized specific attention for blast, BLB, sheath blight and emerging disease such as false smut.

CONCURRENT SESSION

ENTOMOLOGY Chairman : Dr Mayabini Jena Program Leader : Dr Gururaj Katti Rapporteurs : Dr AP Padmakumari Dr Ch Padmavathi

Rice Entomology group meeting was held on 8th April 2017 in the Seminar hall of DBT building, AAU, Jorhat. The meeting was attended by 41 participants including entomologists from Co-operating centres, IIRR, and representatives from Dow Agro Sciences and Dupont India Ltd. In the opening remarks, Chairperson Dr Mayabini Jena said that this was an important year as we are facing many challenges and all the entomologists have to be vigilant and make timely interventions while advising farmers. Dr G Katti, PI, Entomology programme welcomed all the participants for the 52nd ARGM and thanked for the conduct of the trials and timely submission of the data. This was followed by the introduction of participants from different co-operating centers. This was followed by presentation of results of kharif 2016 and rabi 2015-16 trials conducted across 38 locations. Dr Y. Sreedhar gave an elaborate account on the prevailing rice pest scenario from the real time rice pest Survey Reports generated by the entomology group. Following the presentation, Dr G Katti insisted on online submission of fortnightly reports from all the centers. He also informed that the new report of any insect pest at a location should be supported by proper taxonomic identification and extent of damage. He insisted that the co-operators should inform the PI about outbreak of any pest in their region for further necessary action. Dr A P Padmakumari summarised the results of host plant resistance trials comprising of pest specific trials viz., for Planthoppers (PHS); for gall midge (GMS, GMSS); for leaf folder (LFST); for stem borer (SBST) and for multiple pest resistance (MRST); screening data of all the national screening nurseries (NSN 1, NSN 2, NHSN, and NSNH). Insect biotype studies for gall midge (GMBT) and population monitoring studies for gall midge (GMPM) and planthoppers (PHSS) were also presented. Chairperson remarked that the population monitoring of gall midge is important keeping in view the changing pest scenario. She also advised that entomologists should adopt appropriate methods to ensure sufficient pest pressure for screening to get appropriate reaction of the entries for uniformity of the data across locations. Dr B Jhansi Rani briefed the results of chemical control studies viz., IET and BIET. In response to the Chairperson’s suggestion to explore the possibility of giving one spray of botanicals at the initiation of pest infestation, PI instructed the co-operators to strictly follow the guideline of blanket application of treatments at 20 DAT as per the technical program. Dr V Ravindra Babu, Director, IIRR while participating in the session emphasized on the multidisciplinary mode of research and generation of quality data as well as strict


16

compliance of the technical program. Dr Himanshu Pathak, Director, NRRI also participated in the meeting and said that the focus should be on biotic stress management in changing climate scenario. Both the Directors envisioned co-operation and collaboration for the benefit of farmers. Dr V Jhansilakshmi highlighted the results of biocontrol and biodiversity studies viz, MPNE, EEPM and BIPM. She also elaborated the methodology followed in Insecticide resistance monitoring in planthoppers (IRMP) trial at different centers along with the results. Dr Ch Padmavathi presented the results of ecological and IPM studies viz, EPDP, YLET and IPMs trials. This was followed by the presentation of the results of monitoring of pest population dynamics through light trap collections by Dr Y Sreedhar. There was an elaborate discussion on the use of uniform light trap, wattage of the bulb, colour and type of the bulb so as to generate quality data on pest population for monitoring across various locations. PI insisted that all the centers should have chinsurah type of light trap for uniformity of data collection. In the afternoon session, there was elaborate discussion on allotment of trials to cooperating centres for 2017-18. Dr G Katti informed that each center should conduct at least 8 trials and a maximum of 18 trials. In her concluding remarks, Dr Mayabini Jena congratulated PI and his team for the good compilation, analysis and presentation of the data of various trials. The meeting ended with vote of thanks by Dr Y Sreedhar, Senior Scientist, ICAR - IIRR. The Entomology Group met again on 10th April 2017 under the Chairmanship of Dr LK Hazarika, Professor & Head, Department of Entomology, AAU, Jorhat. The meeting was attended by 36 participants including entomologists from Co-operating centers and IIRR. At the outset, PI, Dr G Katti welcomed the chairman and apprised him of the ongoing AICRIP program. In his introductory remarks, Chairman opined that this group is important as “Rice savers” and informed that farmers raise questions related to pests in the changing scenario of the rice ecosystem and its gaining prominence due to the commercial value of speciality rices. Due to the shortage of labour, he advocated to explore the design of methods of application of sprays or use of drones. He also stated that though residue was not a problem in rice at present but in the years to come it might pose as an ecological problem. After thorough deliberations, the group finalized the programme for the year 2017- 18 as detailed below:

Real time Pest Survey reporting will continue on fortnightly basis including online submissions in the provided format.

All the existing screening and biotype trials viz., Planthopper Screening Trial (PHS), Gall Midge Screening Trial (GMS), Gall Midge Special Screening Trial (GMSS), Stem Borer Screening Trial (SBST), Leaf Folder Screening Trial (LFST), Multiple Resistance Screening Trial (MRST), National Screening Nurseries (NSN1, NSN2, NSNH, NHSN), Gall Midge Biotype Studies (GMBT), Gall Midge Population Monitoring (GMPM) and Planthopper Special Screening Trial (PHSS) will continue. All the centers were requested to provide nominations for the screening trials along with the information on duration and cross combination of the entries. 500 g seed is


17

needed for inclusion in pest wise screening trials and 2 kg of seed should be sent for inclusion in MRST by 10th May 2017.

IET is discontinued and replaced by Pesticide Compatibility trial (PCT) constituted with newer insecticides, DPX RABB55 and Spinetoram + methoxyfenozide in combination with fungicides. BIET trial will continue with inclusion of essential oils as treatments. PI insisted on recording of data on natural enemies in both PCT and BIET trials.

Insecticide Resistance Monitoring in Planthoppers (IRMP) will continue.

Effect of Planting Dates on insect Pest incidence (EPDP) will continue with the installation of data loggers distributed by IIRR for recording micro-weather data.

Ecological Engineering for Management of Planthoppers (EEMP) and Bio-intensive Pest Management (BIPM) will continue. Monitoring of pests and natural enemies (MPNE) as a trial is discontinued but observations on species composition of YSB and Planthoppers will be recorded in the EEPM and BIPM trials.

Yield Loss Estimation Trial (YLET) will continue along with validation of stem borer predicted yield losses

Integrated Pest Management special Trial (IPMs) will be continued.

Population monitoring of insect pests through Light Trap will continue with uniform Chinsurah type of light trap.

IIRR Director Dr V Ravindra Babu along with Dr LK Hazarika and Dr G Katti distributed the data loggers to the co-operators of funded centers to record the micro-weather data in EPDP trial. PI, Dr G Katti appreciated the efforts of the group and active participation of each and every co-operator in the formulation of next year’s programme. He requested all the co-operators to contribute towards submission of nominations for the pest specific trials. He insisted that the material identified consistently as promising in the screening programs may be registered as donor for the identified trait. It’s mandatory to enter into a Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) for utilization of the identified material through AICRIP testing and it should be duly acknowledged. He insisted that all the centers attached to university should take appropriate measures to improve the screening data. He reiterated that in the EEPM trial, except flowering plants on bunds, other practices have to be uniform and the population of natural enemies on the bund flora also needs to be quantified. In his concluding remarks, Chairman suggested use of genetic tools for the characterization of identified donors. He appreciated the progress of the work by the group and systematic address of issues in the program and advised to continue the good work. He also suggested incorporating ITKs and validating their utility for pest management. The meeting ended with vote of thanks by Dr Y Sreedhar, Senior Scientist, IIRR.

CONCURRENT SESSION

PLANT PATHOLOGY Chairman : Dr. K. B. Pun & Dr. K. C. Puzari Co-Chairman : Dr. Krishnam Raju Group Leader : Dr. M. Srinivas Prasad Rapporteurs : Drs. D. Ladhalakshmi, V. Prakasam Plant Pathology group meeting was held at Seminar Hall, Academic complex of Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat on the forenoon of 7th April, 2017. The group consisted of 39 participants from different Plant Pathology AICRIP centers and 5 participants from different private agencies. The session was chaired by Dr K. B. Pun, Officer I/c and Principal Scientist, Regional Rainfed Low Land Rice Research Station, Gerua, Assam and co-chaired by Dr. Krishnam Raju, Professor, Andhra Pradesh Rice Research Station, Maruteru, Andhra Pradesh. Dr. M. Srinivas Prasad, Principal Scientist and PI of the coordinated Plant Pathology Program welcomed the participants and expressed his heartfelt thanks for successfully conducting the trials and timely submission of data. The session started with the introduction of the participants. In the Chairman’s remarks, Dr. K. B. Pun suggested to formulate the trials with a focus to get funding from private agencies. He has spoken about the impact of climate change and disease scenario and informed the sudden occurrence of rice tungro virus even in Boro season in Assam. To reduce the use of chemical fungicides, Chairman discussed about organic way of management and requested the house to formulate the trials based on organic resources. Co-chairman, Dr. Krishnam Raju added a point on formulation of trials, wherein location specific disease management trials can be included for stem rot. Dr. M. Srinivas Prasad briefly discussed about results of Plant Pathology trials and reorientation of AICRIP program. He has requested all the cooperators to give more importance for conducting AICRIP trials and sending of data on time. He informed the scientists to record disease out breaks and report the same to IIRR on priority basis. Dr. G.S. Laha, Principal Scientist, IIRR pointed out about recording low severity index at some of the locations and requested the cooperators to strictly follow artificial inculation for creating high disease pressure. Dr. Ram Singh informed the house about the low intensity of bacterial leaf blight disease and increased disease intensity of sheath blight at Haryana. Selected cooperators namely Dr. Rajappan (Aduthurai), Dr. C.K. Bhunia (Chinsurah), Mrs. Rini Pal (Chiplima), Dr. Arup Mukherjee (Cuttack), Dr. Someshwar (Hazaribagh), Dr. Parmesh (Gangavati), Dr. M.B. Dalvi (Karjat) presented the results of AICRIP Pathology trails conducted during Kharif 2016. During the discussion Dr. M.S. Prasad requested Dr. Rajappan to send the Aduthurai isolate of Xoo to IIRR. During the meeting Dr. V. Ravindra Babu, Director, ICAR-IIRR and Dr. Himanshu Pathak, Director, ICAR-NRRI interacted with the participants and congratulated the Plant Pathology group for the excellent conduct of the trials. Both the directors explained the importance of pathological data during variety release. Director, IIRR insisted the house to focus on multiple trait mega varieties to solve the farmers problem. In addition, he insisted the cooperators to rededicate themselves to produce quality data by following the exact procedure given in the technical program. In addition, he has suggested the


23

house to design a trial to develop forecasting system to know about the outbreak of a disease. Director, IIRR informed the cooperators to submit the AUC in time. He also told that few centres may be selected to strength the facility for disease screening at the respective centre. Director, NRRI spoke about orientation of AICRIP program to bring new dimensions to address the latest challenges of farming community. Dr. M.S. Prasad thanked both the Directors for sparing their valuable time and suggestions. The session again gathered on afternoon of 10th April, 2017 at Seminar Hall, Academic complex of Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat. Dr. M. S. Prasad welcomed the participants and the Chairman, Dr. K. C. Puzari, Head, Department of Plant Pathology, AAU, Jorhat. Chairman appreciated the work done by Plant Pathology group. The house discussed in details about all the trials. With respect to host plant resistance (Trials # 1-7) will continue as it is and PI insisted to follow artificial inoculation of respective plant pathogens. The locations viz., Ponnampet, Gudalur, Nellore, Malan, Almora, Hazaribagh, Cuttack, Barapani, New Delhi, Lonavla and Jagdalpur should follow artificial inoculation of blast disease for resistance screening. Dr. G. S. Laha informed that for bacterial blight all the locations are following artificial inoculation method. The house unanimously decided to conduct the trial on disease monitoring at fortnight intervals along with weather parameters in all test locations. The data sheet will be prepared accordingly and send to the cooperators. Trial 12 (Integrated Disease Management) and Trial 13 (Special IPM trial) will be discussed in details and necessary points will be added by IIRR and will be intimated to the cooperators. Chairman, Dr. K. C. Puzari informed the house about the severe incidence of leaf blast in hybrids compared to local varieties. Further, he insisted the use of organic products like Panch Gavya for sustainable management of plant diseases. During meeting, Director, IIRR visited the session and appreciated the efforts taken for trial modifications and also insisted to collect the information about the prevalence of diseases from each location. In addition, he requested the cooperators to collect and send the disease samples to IIRR to study the virulence spectrum to identify effective resistance genes against major pathogens. The meeting ended with the vote of thanks by Dr. D. Krishnaveni. The group has finalized the trials for the year 2017 as follows Trial 1: Screening for leaf blast

CONCURRENT SESSION AGRONOMY Chairman : Dr Biswajit Guha Co-Chairman : Dr P.C. Pandey Program Leader : Dr R.M. Kumar Rapporteur : Dr Mangal Deep Tuti

The 52nd All Indian Rice Research Group Meeting of Agronomy was held on 08th

April, 2017 at Board Room, AAU, Jorhat. Scientists from 45 centres participated in the group meeting. The session was chaired by Dr. P. C. Pandey, Professor (Agronomy), GBPUAT, Pantnagar and co-chaired by Dr. Ilangovan, Professor, KAU, Pattambi. Dr. R. M. Kumar, Principal Scientist (Agronomy), PI and Head, Agronomy Section, IIRR welcomed all the delegates after brief introduction of the participants. The chairman of the session, in his introductory address insisted on the significance of increasing the food grain production to match with the ever increasing population. He mentioned the importance of soil health, maintaining organic matter content in soils and tailoring the production technologies to get maximum productivity. Dr. P.C. Pandey, in his opening remarks insisted the need for evaluation of varieties for higher nitrogen use efficiency so that it can achieve its potential yield. During deliberations he mentioned the importance of optimum time of sowing/transplanting of rice crop during Kharif season, a non monetary input to mitigate climate change effect. Further there was need for mechanization in view of labour shortage, organic farming for quality produce and innovative input management technologies. Dr. Ilangovan emphasized on climate resilient management technologies to meet the adverse effect of climate change. Dr R.M.Kumar, Programme Leader summarized the accomplishments of Agronomy trials conducted during Rabi 2015-16 and Kharif 2016. He informed the house that a total of 284 experiments involving 25 agronomy trials were conducted at 58 locations. The overall data receipt was 94%. He also indicated the need for the essential data to be recorded in different experiments for getting meaningful results. The results of NVT trials by Dr. R. M. Kumar, cultural and rice based cropping systems by Dr. Mangal Deep Tuti and weed management trials were summarised by Dr. B. Sreedevi, Principal Scientist, IIRR. The participants emphasized about the late receipt of AVT-2 seeds and quality of the seeds received which affected the yield of individual trials. Dr. V. Ravindra Babu, Director, ICAR-IIRR, interacted with the participants and indicated the significant contribution and role of Agronomists for enhancing the productivity. He also mentioned the importance of re-orienting the research efforts towards climate resilient package of practices and enhancing the profitability of the farming community. He also added that the production of rice needed to be increased to meet growing populations by developing input efficient management technologies. Dr. Himanshu Pathak, Director, NRRI, Cuttack suggested for doubling the farmer income by increasing the production, reducing the cost of cultivation, increasing the price of produce and reducing the post harvest losses. Further, he advocated for a new agronomy approach to bridge the yield gap. The group also felt and suggested the following recommendations:


28

Timely sowing of seeds (long duration varieties in the last week of April, medium duration in the 2nd fortnight of May and short duration in the last week of May)

In biofortification trials total Zn/protein productivity has to be considered instead of the content in grain only.

More collaborative trials to be planned for efficient utilization of resources.

In AVT-2 medium duration trials, the duration of checks was not matching with that of test entries.

Mixing of two herbicides for broad spectrum control of weeds and detailed study of weed flora at respective locations

Focus on the fine tuning the Direct seeded rice for enhancing the productivity.

Newly formulated trial on study of climatic parameters needs to be quantified for further analysis.

For yield gap analysis minimum 100 to150 farmers may be considered for survey.

Need for focused trials on enhancing productivity of organic rice in selected locations.

The Group met again for concurrent session which was held on 10th April 2017 at the same venue to finalize the technical programme for the year 2017-2018. Scientists from 45 centres participated in the group meeting.

Chairman of the session Dr. Biswajit Guha, Head of the Department, AAU, Jorhat in his introductory remarks emphasized the need to enhance the productivity of rice and rice based cropping systems with special emphasis on relay cropping (oilseeds and pulses). Further, suitable package of practices is needed to improve the productivity of local varieties. He strongly advocated for zone wise recommended package of practices. Dr. R. Mahender Kumar urged to provide initial and final soil nutrient status for all trials. Group also expressed that the weed related observations may be recorded from cultural management trials. Initiation of organic farming trial may be explored in consultation with cooperators from various locations. Varieties will be evaluated with recommended dose of fertilizer (N, P, K and micronutrients) to assess their potential. Dr. V. Ravindra Babu Director, ICAR-IIRR suggested working out the nutrient requirement to produce one tonne of rice grain. Accordingly, external input may be calculated and applied. Dr. H. Pathak, Director, ICAR-NRRI reminded the mandate and objective of AICRIP and reorientation of the programmes. He urged the group to work together for achieving the higher productivity for all the zones. Various new technologies such as Soil Test Crop Response, Site Specific Nutrient Management, Leaf Colour Chart may be used to achieve the desired objective. Economics for all the technologies should be worked out.

Finally the group decided to conduct following 19 trials for ensuing kharif and rabi seasons of 2017-18.

CONCURRENT SESSION SOIL SCIENCE

Chairman : : Dr. T.J. Ghose Program Leader : Dr. K. Surekha Rapporteurs : Drs. M.B.B.Prasad Babu

and Brajendra

The Soil Science group comprising of 9 Cooperators and 3 Scientists from the Indian Institute of Rice Research (IIRR) met on 08 April, 2017 at 10:00 hrs under the Chairmanship of Dr. T.J. Ghose, Principal Scientist, RARS, Titabar, Assam to discuss the results of Soil Science Coordinated Programme conducted during 2016-17. At the outset, Chairman welcomed the group to AAU, Jorhat and requested Dr. K. Surekha, PI, to present the results. The PI presented the results of a total of nine experiments consisting of 45 trials conducted at 7 funded and 9 voluntary locations.

Dr. Himanshu Pathak, Director, NRRI, Cuttack in his address pointed out that yield gap is the major challenge as high yielding varieties are not matching with the yields obtained in farmers’ fields. He also stressed on the expanding role of soil science in other disciplines like breeding, pest management, climate change and in drought tolerance studies. He also felt the necessity of strengthening the Soil Science programme.

Dr. V. Ravindra Babu, Director, IIRR joined the group and appreciated the work carried out by the cooperators in the conduct of experiments and timely submission of data. He also suggested that the Soil Science group be strengthened by the addition of more voluntary Centres. He expressed his concern over the deteriorating soil health and advised to concentrate more on climate change research and increasing resource use efficiency. He stressed the need to curb the indiscriminate use of fertilizers/chemicals.

The results presented by the PI were thoroughly discussed and the following suggestions were made.

In the trial on “Long term soil fertility management”, it was suggested to carry out more studies on carbon dynamics/modeling. The Carbon database has to be built up from all rice growing regions and the sequestering behavior of rice soils to be estimated.

The yield data should be expressed as kg/ha or t/ha instead of kg/plot and nutrient uptake values also be calculated by the cooperators and submitted.

The cooperator at CSAUAT, Kanpur, a funded centre has not been attending AICRIP meetings for the past two years.

In the trial on Screening of rice genotypes for acid soils and related nutritional constraints, nutrient dynamics after liming and cost:benefit ratios have to be studied.

Nutrient use efficiencies have to be estimated under all growing environments.


35

The group met again on 10th April, 2017 at 14:30 hrs under the Chairmanship of Dr. R. M. Karmakar, Head, Soil Science, AAU, Jorhat. Dr. Himanshu Pathak, Director, NRRI, Cuttack, joined the group and stressed upon the relevance and utility of several Soil Science trials, possibility of integration of Soil Science trials with Plant Breeding, Agronomy and Physiology trials. He also stressed that crop intensification requires systematic studies and complete revisit of Soil Science programme in light of merging of Agronomy, Soil Science and Physiology trials and bringing them into one umbrella of Crop production/Natural Resource management group. In view of this, the technical program for the year 2017-18 was finalized for the following 7 trials with the involvement of Agronomists and Physiologists where ever required. 1. Long term soil fertility management in rice based cropping systems (kharif and rabi). This trial will be continued and additional data will be generated Locations (3): Mandya, Maruteru and Titabar 2. Yield gap assessment and bridging the gaps through soil fertility management in farmers’ fields. 3.

CONCURRENT SESSION

PLANT PHYSIOLOGY

Chairman : Dr. Bhagawan Bharali Programme Leader : Dr. D.Subrahmanyam

Co-Chairman : Dr. Dr.P.C.Dey Rapporteurs : Dr. P.Raghuveer Rao

The group meeting of Plant Physiologists from different AICRIP centres was held at Assam Agricultural Unviersity, Jorhat on 8th April, 2017 under the chairmanship of Dr. P.C. Dey, AAU Titabar. Dr.D.Subrahmanyam presented the results of experiments conducted at different centres and thanked all the co-operators for timely submission of the data. Dr. V.Rabindra Babu, Director, IIRR appreciated the work done by the physiology group and advised the group to focus more on identifying important physiological traits for various abiotic stresses. He also opined that the role of Plant Physiologists is more important in view of the imminent climate change and global warming.

The group also met on 10th April, 2017 afternoon to formulate the technical programme for the year 2017-18. The session was chaired by Dr. Bhagwan Bharali Professor and Head, Department of Crop Physiology, AAU, Jorhat. Dr. Bharali appreciated the work being done by the physiologists and suggested that detailed studies should be conducted to understand the basis of silicon’s role in plant nutrition and increasing the yield. He also expressed his opinion that work on NUE is very important and physiologists should work to unravel the basis of differences in NUE among the genotypes. After detailed discussion, the research programme was finalized. Detailed technical programme with data sheets will be sent to all the co-operators in due course of time. The genotypes to be included in different trials will be decided in consultation with Plant Breeders of IIRR.

1. Influence of silicon on plant nutrition and increasing productivity in rice genotypes Locations: CBT,NRRI, IIRR, KJT, KRK, MTU, PNR, PTB,REWA and TTB

After detailed analysis of the results obtained during previous years, some modifications were proposed. It was felt that the effect of silicon on inducing stress tolerance should be studied. Accordingly the trial was modified by introducing one drought treatment during grain filling stage. It was decided to drop imidazole treatment as reservations were expressed in its field applications.

The treatments are T1. Control (without any silica treatment), T2: Silixol @ 0.6% applied at 4 phenological stages (Tillering, PI, 50% Flowering and grain filling state).

T3: Silixol( + water stress(WS) imposed during grain filling stage. Varieties: PA-6129, PA-6201, US-312, Sahabhagidhan, IR 64.

2. Screening for high temperature tolerance: The trail will continue Locations: NRRI, CHN, IIRR, MTU, PNR, PTB, REWA and TTB.

The entries to be tested will be decided in consultation with the Plant Breeding section.

3. Screening elite lines for drought tolerance (rain-fed upland) trial: Locations: NRRI, FZB, PTB, REWA and Raipur

The trial will continue without any modifications in all the existing locations.. The screening work on drought tolerance will be formulated and coordinated and monitored by Plant Physiologist, NRRI.

4. Radiation and Nitrogen use efficiency of promising rice genotypes Locations: CBT,IIRR,KJT,KRK,MTU,PNR,PTB,REWA and TTB

The trial will continue without any change. Entries for testing will be decided in consultation with Plant Breeding and Biotechnology sections. The trial will be concluded this year and will be merged with Crop Production Trials.

5. Physiological characterization of selected genotypes for multiple abiotic stress tolerance

Locations: CBT, CHN, CTK, DRR, KJT, KRK, MTU, PNR, PTB, PUSA, RWA and TTB.

1. Anaerobic germination 2. Salinity 3. Drought. 4. Low temperature

All the experiments will be conducted in laboratory and subjected to stress treatments individually at seedling stage only. The same set of genotypes will be taken under normal field for physiological characterization. New entries from physiology experiments will be included.

6. Screening of Rice varieties for tolerance to low-light stress. Locations: IIRR, NRRI, PNR, MTU, TTB and Raipur.

This trial will be formulated and coordinated by Plant Physiologists from NRRI and identify the suitable entries for screening as per the suggestion received from our Director. Identification of rice varieties tolerant to low light intensity is one of the priority area identified for plant physiologists. Selected genotypes are tested in consultation with Plant Breeding section of NRRI and IIRR at ambient and 50% shade condition.

After the discussions were completed the group met again under the Chairmanship of Dr. Himanshu Pathak, Director NRRI along with all the scientists and PIs of Agronomy, Soil Science and Plant Physiology. Director IIRR also addressed the group and emphasized the need to integrated all the crop production trials together and come out programmes which are relevant to the AICRIP system. Dr. Hmanshu Pathak, Director, NRRI initiated discussion emphasized the need of comming together, planning with a coordinated programme on nutrient and water use efficiency, enhancing soil health on sustainable basis there by developing cost effective technology. During interactions


38

cooperators appreciated the idea of collaboration among the crop production disciplines which will improve the quality of data and reduce repetition of trials.

Dr. Surekha, PI of Soil Science programme informed that both soil science and agronomy are conducting the trials together on site specific nutrient management, yield gap assessment and bridging the gaps in farmers field. There will be more focus on sustainability on long term maintainability of soil health. Dr. Subrahmanyam, PI of Plant Physiology appreciated the decision to have a common technical programme and on the proposed reorientation of crop production trials. He informed that the major contribution of plant physiologist is in screening for abiotic stress tolerance which needs to be continued and further strengthened. Few specific trials will be conducted exclusively by physiologist for screening suitable donors for important abiotic stresses. He also felt that formulating technical programmes of AICRIP as division wise individual trials may impede devising common technical programme. It will be easy to integrate if broad based programmes are devised dealing with major activities of maintaining soil health and crop husbandry practices.

Dr. R.M. Kumar, PI of Agronomy also emphasised the need for reorientation of the program and involvement of other disciplines in developing effective technology.

Accordingly, On going experiments will be reoriented and made collobarataive mode with active involvement of three sections with effective utilization of the resources during 2017-18.

The section ended with vote of thanks proposed by Dr. Tuti, Scientist, IIRR.

CONCURRENT SESSION HYBRID RICE

Chairman : Dr. B.C. Viraktamath

Co-Chairman : Dr. P.V. Satyanarayana Principal Investigator : Dr. A.S. Hari Prasad

Rapporterus : Dr. P. Senguttuvel Dr. P. Revathi

The hybrid rice group met on 10th April, 2017 at 2.30 P.M. in conference room, Directorate of Research (Agri), AAU, Jorhat. Around sixty five participants from public and private sectors participated in the deliberations. Dr. A.S. Hari Prasad welcomed all the delegates. The chairman of the session Dr. B.C. Viraktamath applauded the current record rice production of 108.8 m.t and remarkable achievement in hybrid rice research by releasing 15 rice hybrids with good grain quality and pest and diseases resistance. He further emphasized the need of generous funding support for hybrid rice research. Co-Chairman Dr. P. V. Satyanarayana gave a brief outline of hybrid rice research and scope of further improvement. The yield increase of 1-1.5 t/ha by planting hybrid rice will have a huge impact on rice sector and national food security. We need technology intervention to overcome the marginal yield heterosis. Present generation hybrids have multiple stress resistance and consumer acceptable grain quality characters. Dr.V. Ravindra Babu, Director, IIRR appreciated the efforts made by public and private sector in releasing 15 hybrids during 2016. He emphasized the importance of millers in promoting hybrid rice technology and meeting will be organized to sensitize breeder’s miller’s interaction. He insisted public private partnership to extend the area of hybrid rice cultivation to 10 mha by 2025. He assured that quality analysis will be done in two standard laboratories like BEDF and IIRR. Dr. A.S. Hari Prasad, Principal Investigator, Hybrid rice discussed promotion and deletion of entries, constitution of hybrid rice trials ensuing season and following issues emerged from the discussion. Replacement of checks in IHRT - Trials

In IHRT-MS, the observational hybrid checks viz., JK 3333 and 27P63 have

shown significant yield superiority over the existing hybrid check DRRH-3. Hence, the house agreed to have both these hybrids as national hybrid checks in the trial; the highest yielding hybrid check will be considered as the best check along with the varietal checks promotions/deletions of test entries.

In IHRT-M, it is proposed to include VNR 2375 as observational hybrid check to evaluate its performance against the existing hybrid check to evaluate its performance against the existing hybrid check HRI-174 with a view to replace HRI-174, if it is found promising.


40

Conduct of IHRT - Trials

It was emphasized to conduct the IHRT trials in a best possible way to ensure proper expression of hybrid genotypes in the trial. From Kharif 2017 onwards, the experimental mean of individual location trial should be at least 5 t/ha with a CV range of 5-20.

The house expressed serious concern about the insufficient number of test locations in the Zones II, IV and V, which is affecting the promotion/deletion of test entries. It is requested to explore the possibilities of increasing the number of test locations in these zones. The private seed companies have come forward to help on this issue.

Constitution of trials

The seeds of hybrid nominations (6-8 kg) will have to be deposited at the

Institute along with the ancillary data along with testing fee. The testing fee is revised @ Rs.1.5 lakhs + Service tax per nomination and it is required to be paid in the form of Demand Draft drawn in favour of ICAR Unit – IIRR, Hyderabad.

The private company many nominate maximum of two hybrids per trial. They should nominate only the best hybrid combination after a thorough in-house evaluation. We may not be able to accommodate imported hybrids in AICRIP trials because of less seed quantity (5 Kg.).

The technical program for evaluation of hybrids in the coordinated trials, breeding nurseries was finalized by inviting nominations for various Initial Hybrid Rice Trials (IHRTs) from the cooperators. The details of the hybrids nominated for the trials of different mentioning groups are given in Table-1 (Public) and Table-3 (Private) and details of the technical program planned for the year 2017-18 are given in Table-2.

The concurrent session of plant breeding group was held on 10th April 2017 at Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat, Assam under Chairmanship of Dr. G.N. Hazarika, Director of Research, Assam Agricultural University and Co-Chairmanship of Dr. P.K. Agrawal, ADG, ICAR. The session was attended by 182 delegates from different parts of the country. Dr. Ravindra Babu, Director ICAR-IIRR, welcomed the Chairman and Co-Chairman of the session, scientists from public and private sector. He congratulated all the co-operators for their support in successfully conducting AICRIP trials during Kharif 2016. He thanked profusely Assam Agricultural University Jorhat for hospitality and meticulously arranging the workshop. He congratulated all the rice scientists and farming community for their efforts in bringing record rice production of 108 m.t. During this year, 45 varietal trials, one screening nursery and four hybrid rice trials were conducted in 799 experiments at 120 locations (43 funded, 77 volunteer centres) in 29 states and two union territories in all the seven zones in the country. Because of climate change, severe incidence of BHP incidence noticed in southern states, Cutworm in Assam, neck blast in southern and western states which shows a shift in pest scenario.. He urged breeders from funded centres to further strengthen hybridization programme in a bigger way and emphasized to nominate more entries i.e. atleast two cultures per year. He also emphasized to develop multiple disease and pest resistant varieties. The chairman, Dr. P K Agarwal welcomed the august house and urged for the quality of data submission, generation of breeding material for nomination and hybrid should out yield the best OPV significantly atleast (15%-20%). In case of NILs, the original organisation developed the recurrent parent should be recognized. Concerted efforts should be taken to deploy multiple genes through MAS for diverse adoptability. Dr. A.K. Sarawagi was Co-Chair for the session. Dr. Himanshu Pathak, Director ICAR-NRRI congratulated all rice scientists for release of maximum number of rice varieties and hybrids in India. He congratulated the team lead by Dr. V Ravindra Babu for sincerity in conducting of AICRIP. There should be paradigm shift in productivity to profitability and new dimension to increase protein content, climate resilient and nutrient efficient rice should be the focus of future rice improvement program. Constitution of varietal trial for Kharif 2017 was finalized which includes two trials for (AVT E DS and IVT E DS) for rainfed upland ecosystem, six trials for lowland ecology (AVT 1 RSL, IVT RSL, AVT 1 STW, IVT STW, IVT DW and NSDWSN), ten trials for under irrigated ecosystem (Early TP, Irrigated Mid Early, Irrigated Medium and late), one trial each for boro condition, basmati and aromatic short grain, two trials each for AL&ISTVT

SPECIAL SESSIONS

Chairman : Dr M P Pandey Co Chairman : Dr A K Sarial Rapporteurs : Dr C N Neeraja and Dr C Gireesh

Presentations were made during the special sessions on 9th and 10th April, 2017 under the guidance of Dr M P Pandey as chairman and Dr A K Sarial as Co-Chairman covering the much relevant topics to the meeting such as pre-breeding for rice improvement, activities of BEDF organization, overview of agricultural policy with special reference to rice, genome editing and deploying the mutants in the rice improvement program. Dr. Kuldeep Singh, Director, ICAR- National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources, New Delhi made a presentation on “Pre-Breeding for Rice Improvement”. He briefed the importance of plant genetic resources to break the yield ceiling in rice. He emphasised on two approaches for breaking yield barriers in crops through genetic and genomics interventions, and through improvements in production technology. He further emphasized that enhanced exploitation of genetic diversity through novel pre-breeding strategies and a fundamental reinforcement of the entire plant breeding chain is a vital part of a sustainable system for global food security to meet future challenges of food supply under a changing climate. Four novel bacterial blight resistance genes namely Xa38, from O. nivara, xa-g(t) from O. glaberrima, xa-b(t) from O. barthii and xa-r(t) from O. rufipogon were recently identified. A novel neck and leaf blast resistance gene was mapped from O. glumaepatula (INGR15002) on chromosome 3 in collaboration with ICAR-IIRR, Hyderabad. Several yield enhancing QTLs for tillers/plant, panicle length, thousand grain weight, spikelet per plant, and plot yield were identified from wild species (O. rufipogon, O. glumaepatula and O. longistaminata) derived introgression lines through interspecific hybridization. Dr. Singh informed the house about NBPGR collection of >89000 accessions of rice from various parts of the country and urged breeders/ researchers to make concerted efforts to utilize the vast rice germplasm for development of core and minicore to be efficiently utilized in rice improvement programme of the country.

Dr. Anupam Dixit, Chief Scientist, BEDF, New Delhi made a presentation on “Activities of BEDF organization” The speaker explained in detail the activities of Basmati Export Development Foundation. The foundation is conducting farmers’ awareness programmes/ workshops, training the farmers in quality seed production and other aspects involved in Basmati rice cultivation. It has also conducted workshop on management of Aflotoxin in Basmati rice. The foundation is providing the facilities for testing Physico-chemical parameters. The foundation is having facility for DNA fingerprinting which helps for identification of Basmati varieties. Eight SSR markers developed for DNA fingerprinting of Basmati varieties are being used by foundation for purity analysis of Basmati varieties. The foundation is also having facilities for detection of heavy metal detection and pesticide residue detection.

Dr. S Mohanty, Head (SSD), IRRI, Philippines made a presentation on “Overview of Agricultural policy with special reference to rice section”. The speaker explained the status of agricultural production in India with special reference to rice. Import and export policies of India and China were discussed. China being self sufficient in rice production, in recent years, it started importing rice. In India, cost of production of rice is little higher than the other countries. Government policies like Prime Minister Fasal Bhima Yojana will be insulating farmers against extreme weather conditions. He proposed three point strategies for government policies, first to give cash/direct cash to farmers, second, sustainability of farming system and third, formalization of land rent policy.

Dr A Bandyopadhyay, IRRI, Philippines in his presentation entitled “Application of genome editing (CRISPR system) in manipulation of photosynthesis and water use efficiency with broad application on C4 research”, detailed about the genesis of CRISPR technology in dairy technology and its adoption in genome editing. The families of engineered nucleases viz., zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs), transcription activator-like effector based nucleases (TALEN and the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-cas systems were described. He explained about the three kinds of site directed nucleases (SDN) targeting the alleles and the loci of the genome. He updated the house about genetic engineering processes of C4 photosynthesis in rice at IRRI, regarding the cell specific expression of C4 protein genes introduced from maize, metabolite profile in leaves of C4 transgenic rice plants and their immunolocalization. The results were indicated to be encouraging with the observation of malate enrichment as studied through 13C labelling studies. Gene stacking is also being attempted using Golden Gate technologies for accumulating C4 genes in rice. A case study of genomic editing was demonstrated at IRRI for manipulation of stomatal density. The genes for florigen EPFL9 were knocked with T1-CAS9 gene and the copy number of CAS9 cassette has reduced the stomatal density leading the generation of plants with 6-8 folds reduced stomata. The presentation was concluded with the update of regulatory status of CRISPR technology across the world and the intricacies of its licensing and sub-licensing. Dr S. Robin, Dean, TNAU made a presentation titled “Developing herbicide tolerant rice variety”. This is a collaborative effort involving several research groups funded by the Department of Biotechnology. A bank of mutations was generated in the rice variety Nagina 22. Screening the mutants for a variety of novel traits revealed presence of herbicide tolerance in one of the mutants. The EMS induced rice mutant is named as ‘HTM- N22‘ which exhibited tolerance to a broad spectrum herbicide, ‘Imazethapyr’. The mutations imparting tolerance to the herbicide were characterized. This is a HTM in rice without any IPR (Intellectual Property Rights) infringements and hence can be used in rice breeding as a novel genetic stock by the public funded organizations in the country and elsewhere.

Draft Proceedings of 52th Annual Rice Research Group Meetings, 2017

Dr. M. P. Pandey welcomed the participants and informed them that the meeting has been constituted specifically by ICAR to examine and revise the criteria for nomination of entries under AVT1-NIL trials, which was earlier set by a committee in 2009.

The committee examined the existing guidelines and criteria and gave the following recommendations to facilitate the evaluation of NILs in AICRIP trials in a pragmatic manner broadly under the following five categories.


49

1. Choice of the recurrent parent: The recurrent parent selected for the marker-assisted breeding programs should be a notified popular variety/parental line of a hybrid, which has been suffering from some production bottlenecks or lacking some traits (particularly biotic and abiotic stress resistance/tolerance) that can be improved to add value to it. In case of biotic stress resistance, the choice of gene combinations selected for deployment in the recurrent parent should be based on the pest population/biotypes and/or pathogen population/race composition prevalent in the States/Zones for which the recurrent parent was originally released. The recurrent parent needs to be selected with appropriate concurrence of the concerned parent Organization/Institute.

2. Conformity of the NILs to the recurrent parent: The breeder has to substantiate the proposed NILs for their conformity to the parental variety/genotype (i.e. the recurrent parent) with appropriate phenotypic data such as morphological trait data/DUS trait data and molecular marker data before nomination for trial. In order to ensure this, breeder has to provide details, in terms of list of all the morphological/DUS characteristics for which the NILs are similar/ different from the recurrent parent at the time of nomination of the NILs. The NILs must be statistically at par or superior to the recurrent parent in terms of grain yield.

The breeder nominating the entries under AVT1-NIL should enclose the list of molecular markers used for marker-assisted breeding including those used for foreground, recombinant and/or background selection. The NILs should have a minimum of 90% recovery of the recurrent parent genome with respect to the parental polymorphic co-dominant markers (like SSRs/SNPs) analyzed. A minimum of 400 co-dominant markers (i.e. ~ 1 marker per Mb), which are distributed uniformly across the rice genome should be used for parental polymorphism analysis.

The breeder nominating the entries under AVT1-NIL trial should furnish details in a prescribed proforma at the time of nominating the entries. A committee constituted by Director, ICAR-IIRR will examine the proposal and approve/reject the nominations.

3. Testing/evaluation of NILs: Under AICRIP, the NILs would be tested along with the recurrent parent as check for two years (i.e. AVT1-NIL and AVT2-NIL) to verify the traits that are introgressed. For yield purposes, the NILs have to be compared with the recurrent parent variety to establish its performance vis-à-vis parent variety/genotype (i.e. the recurrent parent). For validation of the introgressed trait, the NILs have to be tested along with donor parent, recurrent parent and appropriate checks. The testing of NILs has to be carried out under natural condition in the target locations/hot-spots and under artificial conditions (in case of pest/disease/stress resistance or tolerance) and other target traits including agronomic and quality traits following standard experimental procedures and techniques along with the recurrent parent. The test centres and the experimental layout should be decided by the Director, ICAR-IIRR on a case to case basis, depending on the lines nominated.

4. Monitoring of AVT1-NIL trial: The final trait verification would be based on the recommendations of the monitoring team constituted by Director, ICAR-IIRR for such trials. The monitoring of the trials is mandatory and the monitoring committee should involve at least one specialist associated with the target trait.


50

Monitoring needs to be stringently carried out by the monitoring team both for the trait introgressed in the NILs and for equivalence to the recurrent parent.

5. Identification, notification and release of NILs: The NILs, which have successfully completed two years of testing under AVT1-NIL as per the guidelines/criteria mentioned above should be identified, released and notified as a new variety only for the States/Zones in which the recurrent parent has been notified and released. These criteria will be applicable for entries nominated from Kharif 2017 onwards.

Proceedings of the Meeting on AICRIP Re-orientation held with NRRI Scientists and PIs of AICRIP, IIRR on 10th April, 2017

The scientists from NRRI and IIRR met on 10th April, 2017 during 52nd Annual Rice Group Meeting held at Jorhat, AAU, Assam under the chairmanship of Dr. IS Solanki, ADG (FFC), ICAR and presided by the Directors of both NRRI and IIRR, Dr. H.

Chairman: Dr. J.S. Sandhu, DDG (Crop Sciences) Co-Chairman: Dr. V. Ravindra Babu, Director, ICAR-IIRR, Hyderabad

The 4th annual hill rice research group meeting was organized at ICAR- National

Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources, New Delhi on 13th February, 2017. The inaugural session was chaired by Dr. J.S. Sandhu, DDG (CS) ICAR while Dr. Himanshu Pathak, Director, NRRI; Dr. S.C. Dubey I/c. Director NBPGR; Dr. R.P. Kaushik, Emeritus Scientist, RWRS Malan and Dr. V. Ravindra Babu, Director IIRR were the dignitaries for the inaugural session of the group meeting. A total of 20 Scientists from different co-operating centres of hill ecology participated in the meeting. After the formal invocation and welcoming the dignitaries with floral bouquets Dr. V. Ravindra Babu extended a very warm welcome to all the participants and expressed his gratitude to Director of NBPGR for hosting this group meeting. He gave a brief account of salient findings of AICRIP activities of hill ecology; highlighted the results of the trials conducted by 7 funded and 23 voluntary centres of hill region stating that five trials with 83 test entries were conducted as 73 experiments at 22 locations and informed that receipt of data was 78%. He further stated that progress in this ecology is not very satisfactory as checks remained as top ranking entries in majority of the experiments, although 5 varieties were released in the last year from this region for hill ecology.

Dr. Kaushik in his inaugural remarks mentioned the critical causes for lower yields in hills as severe cold at seeding and reproductive phase blast, BLB and drought. He emphasized the need for Japonica crosses to out yield local checks as more than 30% area is cultivated with Japonicas. He also mentioned about the need to explore the promising traditional varieties for utilizing them in breeding program with HYVs. For enhancing productivity. Dr. Himanshu Pathak, Director, NRRI emphasized the need to bridge yield gap (70%) in hill region for enhancing the productivity of this ecology. Hill ecology is the primary/first indicator of the climate change and being the fragile environment, needs special focus to improve the production potential of the region. Attention should be given to improve the soil health, prevention of degradation of soil quality, focus on integrating biotic and abiotic stresses. He also stressed the need to focus on water management in rice which is a heavy water guzzling crop.

Dr. Dubey, I/c. Director NBPGR raised his concern about higher seed infestation ratio in the quarantine samples with weeds and other pests and diseases for the past few years which needs to be addressed thoroughly. Dr. J.S Sandhu, DDG, Crops emphasized the need to identify the states whose production is less than their requirement and causes for the lower productivity. Status paper on overall rice production scenario and also strategies to enhance the productivity should be prepared. He also stressed the need to strengthen the centers to address the concerns of hill ecology and to conserve specialty rices of hill region especially having high Fe content and anti-oxidants.

The technical session was chaired by Dr. Himanshu Pathak and co-chaired by Dr. Kaushik. The presentations were made by Dr. L.V.Subba Rao on the results of all the 5 trials conducted at various centres during 2016 while the representatives from


63

Khudwani, Malan and Rajouri presented about the trials conducted at their respective centres. Dr. Kaushik made a presentation on “Bio-diversity of hill ecology”.

Salient points emerged during deliberations are:

Dr. Himanshu Pathak suggested for special efforts to get the data of the entry in 3rd year which performed very well in two years of testing.

Sometimes, during 3rd year of testing the locations included in initial two years of testing might be missing, in such cases if the request comes from the breeder for consideration of the entry to be repeated one more year then the entry to be repeated one more year to get appropriate data for a period of 3 years.

He also suggested to utilize SSNM in each location with reduced N application.

IET 24207 to be continued for one more year.

There is need to avoid the delay in sending trial material to co-operators.

Dr. Himanshu suggested to bring about trends of insect pests (pests, Disease & weeds) of the Hill region and effective strategies to manage them

Develop suitable recommendations based on 3-4 years experiments as package of practices in different states and to develop integrated package of variety management and nutrient for enhancing the profitability of the farming community.

There is need to conduct experiment of graded levels of ‘N’ with utmost care (proper bunding and sufficient space between the treatments and water management) and develop suitable package of practices and need to change the recommendation.

Dr. Kaushik suggested to collect germplasm from all centres of hill ecology for utilization in crossing program to develop diwerse material.

Use of tropical Japonicas

Biotechnology as a tool to enhance the productivity and multiple resistance, especially combining blast resistant genes into traditional varieties.

Use of promising and highly efficient traditional varieties to incorporate useful traits like hard and thick stem, Heavy panicle, nutritionally rich qualities etc.,

Creating special facilities such as green houses (artificial screening facilities etc) to identified centres

Need to contribute germplasm to INGER programme

Free and fair material sharing from IIRR and co-operators vice-versa.

It was decided to conduct hill workshop during second week of February which will be intimated to all co-operator by last week of December.

Dr. V. Ravindra Babu, Director, IIRR informed that breeding material developed at IIRR will be shared with co-operators of this hill ecology for evaluation.

Germplasm from NBPGR center at Bhowali, Manipuri black rices and other valuable local germplasm should be included in developing HYVs. Dr. Sandhu emphasized that this kind of genetic wealth needs to be protected and evaluate for their quality and nutrition.

Meeting concluded with formal vote of thanks by Dr. G. Katti.

FRONTLINE DEMONSTRATIONS (FLDs) ON RICE

Chairman : Dr. H.C. Bhattacharya, Director (Extension), AAU

PI: Dr. Shaik N.Meera Rapporteur: Dr. P. Muthuraman

During 52nd Annual Rice Group Meeting held at AAU, Jorhat a special session was organized for formulating a strategy for implementation of FLDs during ensuing season. The session was chaired by Dr. H.C. Bhattacharya, Director (Extension) I/C, AAU.

The general guidelines for effectively conducting FLDs were presented by Dr. Shaik N.Meera, Principal Scientist and Coordinator, FLD programme. In his presentation Dr. Meera, has categorically mentioned that the FLDs program should address the problems faced by the rice farmers and how best their new technologies could fit into the local contexts. He made it clear that under the critical components no chemical fertilizer is allowed to purchased and distributed. He suggested the scientists to identify the problems first and organize an orientation training to the clientele farmers. Under FLDs preference should be given to the marginalized sections and women farmers. Well designed field board is a pre-requisite for the FLDs and it should explain everything about the FLD in a lucid manner. He also requested to reward the progressive farmers who have contributed immensely for the success of FLDs. Good reports with success stories and good photographs are the essentials components of FLDs. According to him, an ideal FLD report should contain the impact of technology, constraints faced by the farmers and feedback to the scientist who developed the technology for further refinement.

In his remarks the Chairman mentioned this was an important program for popularizing new varieties and hybrids. This program could be used for assessing the yield gap and addressing the production constraints. He recalled his association with the FLD program when it was introduced in 1990's.

It was emphasized that whole package of practices are to be demonstrated in the farmers' fields apart from the FLD variety/ hybrid/ technologies allotted. Frontline Demonstration is a form of applied research through ICAR/SAUs system on latest notified/released varieties along with full package of practices on selected farmers’ fields with a view to demonstrate the potential of the technologies to the participating farmers (b) neighbouring farmers and other agencies; and to analyze the production as well as assess the performance of the technologies for scientific feedback. As per the advice from the Ministry, more emphasis is given for organizing the FLDs in eastern and North-eastern hill regions. Critical care was taken to include the demonstrations on varieties, hybrids along with management practices, conservation technologies, labour saving/ input saving technologies etc., All the FLD cooperators were requested to submit the UCs for the previous financial year at the earliest to avoid delays in fund release for 2017-18.

In the year 2017-18, overall 2000 FLDs are planned with varieties, hybrids and thrust areas like pest and disease management, farmer friendly machineries, drudgery reduction etc.

NB: These are only proposals, but not to be construed as approved. Administrative sanction will be given after getting the approval from DAC. The actual number of FLDs allotted to each centre may vary at the time of administrative approval. A total of 2000 FLDs of 1 ha each are planned to be conducted during the year 2017-18 in 45 centres / copperators. A cafeteria of new and innovative technologies is proposed to be demonstrated in the farmers’ fields. Care was taken to consider only recently released varieties and hybrids for demonstration. Instead of focusing on only varietal demonstrations, cooperators were encouraged to organize the FLDs on other technologies also. The proposal will be submitted to the Agricultural Commissioner, Department of Agriculture and Cooperation, Government of India. Once administrative approval is received from the Ministry, the same will be communicated to all the cooperators in due course of time. IIRR will not be responsible if any centre conducts FLDs without proper administrative approval.

AGRONOMY

Eleven efficient genotypes viz. IET 24192 (EH Irrigated), IET 24692 (E DS), IET 24347 in IM (TP), IET 24241 in Late, IET 244451 in RSL, IET 23906 in SDW, IET 24440 in Biofortified, IET 24434 in CSTVT, IET 25484 in NIL-BLAST, IET 25667 in NIL-DRT and IET 25673 (NIL-SUB AVT-2) were identified for Nitrogen Use efficiency


76

LCC based N application found to be efficient nitrogen management technology for increasing the rice grain yield

Maintenance of soil saturation or alternate wetting and drying were alternative viable technologies for flood irrigation which saves 30% irrigation water

Site Specific Nutrient Management through NE® is a suitable tool to manage fertilizer dose for enhancing the productivity of rice

Rinskor 2.5% EC @ 31.25 g/ha can be applied at 4-7 leaf stage of weeds in transplanted and puddled direct wet seeded rice while in aerobic rice Rinskor 2.5% EC @ 37.5 g/ha was effective

Application of Azotobacter + PSB + Brown manuring with Dhaincha + residue mulch @ 2 t/ha + 75% RDF recorded significantly higher yield which was 3.3-24.1% higher compared to application of RDF + split application of N indicating the substitution of 25% RDF with organic manures.

SOIL SCIENCE

Consistent superiority of conjunctive use of 100% RDF + 5t FYM/ha treatment was observed at all 3 locations (Mandya, Maruteru and Titabar) in the 28th year of experimentation in the “Long term soil fertility management” trial and FYM alone treatment yielded on par to RDF at all locations in kharif.

Yield gap between RDF-FP and SSNM - FP were observed to be narrow at Faizabad and wide at Titabar and SSNM based fertiliser recommendation resulted in an yield increase of 4 -11 and 14-116%, over RDF and farmers’ practice (FFP), respectively.

The varieties, DRR Dhan 43, DRR Dhan 42, CSR 36 and CSR 43 recorded highest yields (4.22 - 4.56 t/ha) with 100% Gypsum supplementation and also exhibited better tolerance to sodicity.

The genotypes Uma, Mahamaya, DRR Dhan 43, Indira Maheswari, Gitesh and Prafulla exhibited superiority over other genotypes with liming as well as without liming across acid soils of Moncompu, Raipur, Ranchi and Titabar.

Neem coated urea recorded higher yields over Prilled urea (PU) across six locations with an increased N recovery efficiency by 11-29%.

PLANT PHYSIOLOGY

Application of silicon showed a positive influence on grain yield. The effect was dependent on genotype and location. Varieties also responded differently to silicon application. Silixol was more effective in all the varieties in improving grain yield, the effect was relatively less in PA-6444, US-312 and PHB-71.

CRR-Dhan 20, IET 25115, IET25134 and IET2512 at FZB and IET25123 ,Varadhan, IET25121, NDR-97 and IET24692 performed better and are relatively drought tolerant. Drought indices GMP, HM, DTI, DSI, YSI and K2STI showed strong association with yield under rainfed condition, these parameters are useful in selecting tolerant genotypes.


77

Based on Heat tolerant indices and reduction in grain yield, IET 24705, IET24796, IET24053, 377-24, and Gontra Bidhan-3 be identified as the most tolerant genotypes and S-458, Sahabhagidhan, SG-26-120 and IR-82635-B-B-47-1 can be identified as moderately tolerant.

Based on results of stability analysis, it was observed that all the varieties Rasi, MTU1010, Sampada, BPT5204 and Jaya performed well across the locations under 50% RDN and amongst the crosses Sampada x Jaya/2 (G3) and Sampada x Jaya/3(G4) can be selected based on YSi and non-significant Stability variance (σi2).

Based on the extent of reduction in grain yield and other important traits under low-light, Vivekdhan 86, Tulasi and IET 24192 can be identified as relatively moderately tolerant to light stress.

AC-39416-A, IET 25323, IET 23335 and Sahabhagidhan show tolerance to water stress, . IET24971, IET25336 show tolerance to salinity and IET 23216, IET 24674 performed better under anerobic condition. However, none of the genotypes show tolerance to multiple stresses

ENTOMOLOGY

ASD 7, Kakai (K 1417) and PTB 12 were identified as donors for gall midge resistance. KNM 1623, KNM 1638, WGL 825 and WGL 1062 breeding lines were also identified as resistant to three biotypes of gall midge.

KNM 113 was identified as multiple resistant entry for gall midge and stem borer.

Spinetoram 6% (W/V) plus methoxyfenozide 30% (W/V) SC was found effective against stem borer, leaf folder and other foliage feeders. It has the potential to be one of the newer insecticides for recommendation to the farmers.

PLANT PATHOLOGY

The multiple disease resistant lines IET # 25501 (resistant to bacterial leaf blight, rice tungro disease and tolerant to sheath blight), 23930 (resistant to neck blast, bacterial leaf blight), 24519 (resistant to neck blast, sheath rot), 24956 (resistant to leaf blast, glume discoloration), 25278 (resistant to leaf blast, neck blast) and VL-31430 (resistant to leaf blast, glume discoloration, rice tungro disease) can be used as donors for resistance breeding.

New combination fungicide tricyclazole 20% SC + tebuconazole 16% SC (36 SC) @ 2.25 ml/l was found effective against leaf blast, sheath blight, sheath rot and brown spot and can be used for the management of these diseases.

Proceedings of the meeting of the committee constituted to deliberate on formulation of criteria for nomination of entries under Advanced Variety Trial 1-Near Isogenic Lines (AVT1-NIL) of AICRIP

As per the directions of Dr. S.N. Shukla, Assistant Director General (FFC), ICAR, a committee was constituted for the above mentioned purpose during the 44th Annual Rice Research Group Meeting held at ANGRAU, Hyderabad during May 2009. The members of the committee met on 11th May 2009 at Seminar Hall I of ANGRAU Auditorium, Hyderabad with Dr. M.P. Pandey, Vice Chancellor, IGAU, Raipur as Chairman and Dr. N. Shobha Rani, PI, Varietal Improvement programme, AICRIP for discussion and finalization of criteria for nomination of entries under AVT1-NIL trial of AICRIP. The following members attended the meeting. Dr. J.L. Dwivedi, Dr. K.V. Prabhu, Dr. A.K. Singh, Dr. G.J.N. Rao, Dr. J.N. Reddy, Dr. P.K. Agarwal, Dr. N. Sarla, Dr. S.M. Balachandran, Dr. C.N. Neeraja, Dr. R.M. Sundaram, Dr. P. V. Satyanarayana, Dr. S. Manonmani. Dr. M.P. Pandey welcomed the participants and informed that a set of guidelines for nomination and testing of NILs have been framed by a committee constituted by Ministry of Agriculture in the year 2007 and approved by DDG (CS), ICAR. The present meeting has been convened to mainly discuss issues related to operationalizing the guidelines. The committee examined the guidelines and gave the following recommendations to facilitate the implementation of the guidelines in a practical manner.

1. Choice of recurrent parent: The recurrent parent selected for the marker-assisted breeding programs should be a notified variety/parental line of a hybrid which is widely cultivated and accepted by farmers which has been suffering some production bottlenecks or lacking some traits that can be improved to add value to it. For this purpose, the selection of the recurrent parent for development of NILs under AICRIP is to be decided by a committee identified by Project Director for which approval of DDG (CS), ICAR is to be obtained. Further the recurrent parent needs to be selected with appropriate concurrence of the concerned breeder/organization/institution wherever applicable.

2. Conformity of the NILs to the recurrent parent: The breeder has to

substantiate the proposed near isogenic lines (NILs) for its conformity to the parental variety with appropriate phenotypic data such as morphological and DUS data and molecular marker data before nomination for trial. In order to ensure this, the breeder has to provide details in terms of list of all the morphological/DUS characteristics for which the NILs are similar to and different from the recurrent parent at the time of nomination of the NILs. The NILs should definitely not be inferior to the recurrent parent in terms of yield related traits.


vi

The NIL should have minimum two phenotypic characters (which can be easily assessed in the field) for the purpose of its identification and distinction from the parental variety. This will facilitate seed certification agency/seed law enforcement authority in the certification process. The breeder nominating entries under AVT1-NIL should enclose the list of molecular markers used for marker-assisted breeding including those used for both foreground and background selection. The NILs should have a minimum of 80% introgression as estimated from parental polymorphic SSR markers through background selection. A minimum of 6 parental polymorphic markers per chromosome should be used for this estimation (i.e. a minimum of 96 parental polymorphic markers covering the entire genome). The breeder nominating entries under AVT1-NIL trial should furnish details in a prescribed proforma at the time of nominating the entries. A committee constituted by the Project Director will examine the proposal and approve/reject the nominations. 3. Testing/evaluation of NILs: Under AICRIP, the NILs would be tested along with

the recurrent parent as check for two years to verify the traits that are introgressed. For yield purposes, the NILs has to be compared with the recurrent parent variety to establish its performance vis-à-vis parent variety. For validation of the introgressed trait, the NILs have to be tested along with donor parent, recurrent parent and appropriate checks. The NIL testing has to be carried out under natural and artificial conditions (where pest/disease/stress resistance is targeted) and other traits following standard experimental procedures and techniques along with the recurrent parent. The test centres and the experimental layout should be decided by the Project Directorate on a case to case basis based on the nominations.

4. Monitoring of AVT1-NIL trial: The final trait verification would be based on the

recommendation of the monitoring team constituted by the Project Director for such trials. The monitoring of the trials is mandatory. the monitoring committee should involve at least one specialist associated with the target trait. Monitoring needs to be stringently carried out by the monitoring team both for the trait introgressed in the NILs and for equivalence to the recurrent parent.

5. Identification, notification and release of NILs: The NILs which have

successfully completed two years of testing under AVT1-NIL as per the guidelines/criteria mentioned above should be identified, released and notified as a new variety.
