It covers West Bengal and Assam representing the Ganga-Brahmaputra alluvial plain. It is characterized by semi-stabilized sand dunes on alluvial terraces, lateritic remnants in the West, and numerous creeks and swamps in the deltaic tract. It experiences hot humid monsoonal climate, and the rainfall ranges from 220 to 400 cm. The predominant soil groups are alluvial, red and brown hill. Rich forests in Assam and fertile deltas in West Bengal are the assets. Frequent floods in Assam and extensive occurrence of saline patches in the deltaic tracts are the major constraints.

Results showed that chemical weed management i.e. application Butachlor alone can reduce weed population but better reduction in weed population was obtained from the treatment combination of butachlor and mechanical weeding. However, lowest weed population was recorded from the Tech. option 3 i.e. combination of mechanical weeding and manual weeding (which is most costly), followed by only manual weeding both at 30 DAT and harvest. Effect of weed management treatment on grain and straw yield was reflected as per weed population and highest yield was obtained from the Tech Option 3, where weed population also lowest among the treatments followed by only hand weeding (Farmers practice). Considering the B:C ratio highest return was obtained from Tech. Option 2 and yield obtained from Tech. Option 3 and Tech. Option 2 are statistically at per. Therefore, considering all the aspects Tech. Option 2 i.e. combination of chemical and mechanical weeding may be proved better for drum seeder rice cultivation in OAZ of West Bengal.

Vanraja & Gramyapriya both breed are quite well adopted in backyard system, but RIR breed is not so much adopted in extensive system in initial brooding stage and needs slightly better managmental care. The performance of Vanraja and Gramyapriya are significantly better than backyard indigenous dual purpose breed. The cost of rearing of both the breed are lower than RIR breed, but they are not suitable for natural brooding purpose. The RIR breed is also perform better than local backyard variety, but need better scientific practices in backyard system in initial brooding stage.

Technical Feedback on the demonstrated technologies

Sl. No. Crop Feed Back1. Mustard Long duration paddy varieties are cultivated. As a result, harvesting of paddy as well as sowing of mustard is delayed. Long duration paddy

varieties are sown after delayed harvesting of jute at over maturity stage by the farmers. All these factors lead to low yield of mustard.2. Brinjal Trichoderma viridae is most effective to reduce the steam and fruit rot disease of Brinjal but Trichoderma viridae in local market is not available3. Bee-

KeepingBee-keeping is a good entrepreneurship in Dakshin Dinajpur as the farmers are cultivated mustard in large areas. But it is very difficult to carry and grazing the bee box by the rural youth bee-keeper.

4. Wheat (Zero Tillage)

Due to late harvesting of paddy, wheat sowing is delayed in conventional method of cultivation, as a result wheat yield is reduced. With zero tillage machine, wheat can be sown earlier and cost of cultivation including water and weed management is less and yield is higher than conventional method.

5. Jute Jute cultivation in this district is done with the Var. JRO-524 for last 20 years. However, yield can be increased only by changing suitable variety like JRO-128, S-19 etc.

6. Lentil Area under pulse crop is less due to low availability of good quality pulse seed and lack of knowledge about Rhizobiam culture, role of Phosphate etc. Lentil area is increasing due to higher return as well as improved soil fertility.

7 Liming in fish culture

Poor fish productivity in domestic small and medium sized pond in the district is due to low PH of Soil (Water pH range from 6.0 to 6.5 ). Acidic water (pH <7.0) reduces the growth of fish. Lime improves the mineralization of organic matter which acts as buffer in controlling pH of fish pond. Therefore it is very much essential for the fish farmer to use correct amount of lime by measuring PH of Water using pH paper which is cost effective.

8 Air breathing fish

Some farmers were not able to grow their fish to marketable size (>75g), due to several reasons such as n ot enough time spent on the management of the pond by the responsible person in the household. Escaping of fish (after flood, or heavy rain). Since they are air breather, they normally come up to the water surface for atmospheric oxygen. This kind of habit attracts birds for predation. They also escape from the pond during rainy season. Therefore, it is required to cover the ponds with net to protect the fishes. It is very difficult for famers to harvest these fish by netting. Harvesting can be done either by partially draining water out of the pond or by repeat netting.

9. Cross breed of Poultry

Cross breeding of poultry and duckery is very effective method for increasing productivity of local breed, but availability of RIR Cock/KC dreak is a constraints and needs more judicial approach for its wide acceptability & better production performance from the crossbreed Poultry/Duck.

10 Ghungroo Piggery

This is very prolific indigenous widely acceptable rural backyard pig breed. But scientific breeding, feeding and diseases management practices is needed for its improvements and maintenance of pure line germ plasm.
