Research Achievements :

International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) funded IRRI project on ‘‘Improved rice crop management for raising productivity in submergence prone and salt affected rainfed low lands in South Asia.” operated in College of Agriculture, Chiplima, Sambalpur, Odisha. The objective is to conduct research on agronomic management for improving productivity of rice under submergence prone areas. Hence the research on agronomic management of submergence prone lowlands was conducted in the instructional farm of College of Agriculture, Chiplima during 2011 and 2012. Dr. Stephan Haefele, Scientist, IRRI was the project leader of this project and Dr. U. S. Singh, IRRI-India, New Delhi was the coordinator for South Asia.

The following research activities are undertaken in this project:

Nursery management for enhanced survival of SWARNA SUB 1 introgressed genotypes of rice for submergence prone areas.
Nitrogen management for quick after submergence recovery.
