Two new high yielding varieties of paddy - BRRI Dhan 81 and BRRI Dhan 89 - is giving hope to the farmers as these yield around 28 to 30 maunds of paddy per bigha.
As production of previously high yielding two varieties - BRRI Dhan-28 and BRRI Dhan-29 - has declined now-a-days, the government is planning to replace the varieties with the two new varieties. It would help the farmers to get more crops and profit from their production.
Agriculture Minister Dr. Mohammad Abdur Razzaque on Thursday told journalists the production of BRRI Dhan-28 and BRRI Dhan-29 has regenerated recently. As a result, the farmers are not getting proper return of their hard labour.
Considering the situation, the Ministry of Agriculture is planning to replace the two varieties with the new two varieties BRRI Dhan-81 and BRRI Dhan-89. The farmers are getting around 28 to 30 maunds of paddy per bigha cultivating the two new varieties. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has also given her consent on the issue, he added.
The Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI) has initially released the two varieties in 2017. Release of the new paddy variety brought in high hopes as scientists expect it to break the long stagnation in the production growth of the staple. Production of BRRI dhan81 would be half a tonne more than BRRI dhan 28 per hectare.
There are 86 modern rice varieties in Bangladesh, but the farmers plant BRRI Dhan28 in an overwhelming 45 per cent of the rice lands during the Boro season considering it as a most productive variety because of its high growth potential and huge acreage. The agriculture scientists also call BRRI Dhan-28 as a mega variety.
The BRRI Dhan-81 rice is also richer in protein (10.3 parts per million comparing to 8.6 ppm in BRRI Dhan28). On average, Bangladeshi consumers depend on rice for over 50 per cent of their daily calorie and protein requirements, according to the experts.
According to the BRRI officials, the BRRI Dhan81 is a successful cross between Iran's Amol-3 and Bangladesh's mega variety BRRI Dhan-28. The process of crossing, lab and field tests continued for the past 15 years and finally the seed board gave it the nod in 2017.
He observed that the most popular rice varieties in Bangladesh are old and they require better replacements so that farmers can reap more yield from less land and go for agricultural diversity by growing other high value crops.
