Problems and prospects of cultivation of indigenous rice landraces of Uttar Dinajpur, West Bengal, India with special reference to Tulaipanji

Abstract: The district Uttar Dinajpur of West Bengal is bestowed with very fertile soil, which helps to grow paddy and other agricultural crops. Cultivation of indigenous rice has been practiced by farmers since ancient times. Indigenous rice has several socio-economic, ecological and genetical aspects but the major problem lies in their comparatively low output. The diversity of indigenous rice landraces has been drastically reduced due to the introduction of high yielding varieties (HYVs). Through extensive survey it … Show more

“…While 2500 accessions have been systematically cataloged by the NAGRC/NARC, a significant portion of the germplasm remains uncharacterized [23]. The exclusive adoption of semi-dwarf alien advanced and uniform rice varieties has led to the slow and steady extinction of indigenous rice landraces [25]. Farmers ceased maintaining their indigenous seed stocks while simultaneously purchasing rice seeds from the market that had good and uniform yields and were responsive to inputs.…”

“…Having an abundance of indigenous aromatic rice landraces, this area is considered one of the pioneers in rice cultivation in India. From this region two cultivars, namely Tulaipanji [ 5 ], and Kalonunia, have garnered significant interest on the global stage and have been granted geographical indication status (GI).…”

“…These considerable numbers of landraces can provide vital information for the breeding of crop and in the handling of genetic resources. Indigenous rice landraces have been gradually fading out due to absolute use of semi-dwarf exotic advanced and homogeneous rice (Biswas et al, 2021). While farmers acquired high and uniform yielding, input responsive rice seeds from the market, they stopped saving their indigenous seed stocks.…”
