Rice swarming Caterpillar devastateswinter rice fields in Assam

Spodoptera mauritia, also known as rice swarming cat-erpillar, invaded winter rice crop in Assam and affectedaltogether 56,768 ha of winter rice crop in 27 out of total35 districts of the state. Some of the districts affected wereSivasagar, Charaideo, Jorhat, Majuli, Golaghat, Dibrugarh,Dhemaji, Lakhimpur, Nagaon, Morigaon, Darrang,Sonitpur, Biswanath Chariali, Dhubri, Goalpara,Mancachar, Nalbari, Barpeta, Kokrajhar, Kamrup (East),Kamrup (Metro), Kamrup, Hailakandi, Udalguri. Theworst-affected districts were Golaghat, Sivasagar andCharaideo. Altogether 3.1% of the acreage (18,82,756 ha)under winter rice was devastated by swarming caterpil-lars.

Scientists from RRLRRS, Gerua visited affected fieldsin four districts, viz., Kamrup, Nalbari, Darrang andGoalpara and advised the farmers for the measures to betaken to combat the menace. On September 20 and 21,scientists from RRLRRS, Gerua also joined the team ofofficers from the Directorate of Plant Protection, Quaran-tine and Storage, Faridabad and visited the affected areas.Farmers of these districts reported that the rise in caterpil-lar population was observed as early as September 5, 2016.Within next 5-6 days reports of the devastation of winterrice crop by this pest emerged from different districts. Pestpopulation rapidly built up during 2nd and 3rd weeks ofSeptember in different districts. Plants in the affected plotslooked as if they were grazed uponby cattle. This year, there were heavyrains and severe floods during Julyfollowed by long dry spells in themonth of August and intermittentrains thereafter which might haveled to considerable rise in popula-tion of the caterpillars. Heavy rainsfollowed by hot dry spell alsocauses destruction of natural en-emies of this pest thus facilitates itsrapid proliferation.

RESEARCH NOTES

Comparative analysis of functional microbial community in paddy soil in NRRI, Sundarban andBhitarkanika

The aim of present investigation wasto compare the Biolog eco-plate-basedfunctional diversity of microbial commu-nity in paddy soils of National Rice Re-search Institute (NRRI), Bhitarkanika(MB) and Sundarban (MS). Communitylevel physiological profiling (CLPP) re-vealed that the microbial community wasobserved significantly more in paddy soilof NRRI than MS and MB. Shannon-Weaver, average well color development(AWCD) and Mc-Intosh indices showedthat the microbial community was sig-nificantly more in NRRI than MS and MB(Fig 1). Principal component analysis also indicated the clear separation of the cluster comprising the NRRI paddy soilsfrom the cluster of soils from MS and MB. Overall, the present study suggested that microbial communities were com-paratively higher in paddy soil of NRRI than MS and MB.

Comparative Study of competitiveness of different weedy rice accessions on cultivated riceWeedy rice is a serious problem in many rice growing regions and anticipated to cause huge losses to rice cultivation.

It has become significant mainly after the shift from rice transplanting to direct seeding. Different populations of weedyrice exhibit differences in competitive ability and growth patterns. The novelty of our experiment was the attempt tocharacterize the weedy rice accessions and study their competitiveness as the first step towards formulation of manage-ment strategy. The present study was conducted to differentiate weedy rice accessions collected from hills of Assam(Assam accession 1 [AA1], Assam accession 2 [AA2], Assam accession 3 [AA3]) and coastal Odisha (Odisha accession1 [OA1], Odisha accession 2 [OA2], Odisha accession 3 [OA3]) in terms of their competing ability grown in presence ofcultivated rice, cv. Swarna. Therefore, to simulate the competition, weedy rice seeds were sown at the centre of each pot(central plant), covered with a thin layer of soil, and subsequently thinned to one plant immediately after emergence.Four rice seeds (cv. Swarna) were placed equidistant from each other around the weedy rice seeds. Rice seeds (cv.

Swarna) were placed at a distance of 10.5 cm from weedy rice at the centre. The plant to plant distance between rice seeds(cv. Swarna) was 15 cm as recommended under field condition. Weedy rice plants (central plant) were uprooted at 2, 4,6 and 8 weeks after emergence (WAE) and plant height, number of tillers, leaf area, number of leaves and shoot biomasswere recorded. The early vegetative growth was significantly higher in Assam accessions, AA1 and AA2. However, OA1emerged as the most competitive weedy rice accession at later stage, with maximum plant height, tiller number and totalbiomass (Fig. 2 & 3). Nutrient uptake was also higher in OA1 with respect to cv. Swarna. The highest yield reduction(22%) in cv. Swarna was recorded when grown with OA1 and lowest (7.7%) was recorded with AA2 (Table 1). Theresults suggest that there was significant difference in competitiveness of cultivated rice, cv. Swarna with differentweedy rice accessions in terms of yield and nutrient uptake.

Screening of breeding lines for resistance to sheath blight disease caused byRhizoctonia solani Kuhn

Seventeen genotypes namely, Tapaswini, Annapurna,Swarna, Swarna sub 1, Tetep, CR 1014, ADT 39, Manasarovar,IET 19346, IET 20443, IET 19790, IET 20252, IET 17885, IET 17886,IET 19140, IET 20755 and IET 20216 were screened in a net houseexperiment during kharif, 2015-16 for evaluating their resistanceagainst sheath blight pathogen, Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn. Plantsof each and every genotype were raised in earthen pots (with 3replications) and inoculated with the sheath blight isolate,ShbSL4 of the fungus, R. solani by inserting sclerotia with myce-lia inside the leaf sheaths in the maximum tillering stage alongwith maintenance of proper humidity. Data on the sheath blightreactions by the above genotypes were recorded three times us-ing 0-9 scale (SES, 1996) at 10 days interval. Genotypes showingscores of 0-1 were considered resistant, 1-3 as moderately resis-tant, 3-5 as tolerant, 5-7 as susceptible and 7-9 as highly suscep-tible. Results showed that out of 17 genotypes, one genotype CR1014 was found moderately resistant (score of 2.8) (Fig 4); four genotypes Tetep, Manasarovar, IET 17886 and IET 20443being tolerant (scores of 3-5); whereas seven genotypes Manasarovar, Swarna sub 1, IET 19346, IET 17885, IET 19140, IET20755, IET 20216 showed susceptible reaction (scores of 5-7) and rest 5 genotypes namely, Annapurna, Swarna,Tapaswini, ADT 39, IET 20252 were found to be highly susceptible (showing scores of 7-9). Genotypes identified asmoderately resistant/tolerant against sheath blight pathogen, R. solani Kuhn can be validated for use in the breedingprogramme.

Managing Rice Farming in a ChangingEnvironment

The environment is changing. Not only the physicalenvironment i.e., water, soil, air and climate but also thesocial, economic and cultural dimensions of theenvironment are changing at rapid pace. So when thesurrounding ecosystem is changing, rice farming musttoo.

Farming of rice has also changed with time, thoughslowly. Earlier we changed rice farming to produce morefood. It was the most important thing to do to eradicatehunger. And we have been successful. From 'Ship toMouth' till 1960s, we have reached to the 'Food SecurityAct in 2013' when we are providing rice and wheat withRs. 2 and 3, respectively to a large population of thiscountry. This year possibly we are going to harvest a recordrice production. However, so far all of our efforts wereproduction-centric. Recently, we have shifted our focus toincreasing income. Hon'ble Prime Minister has given thecall of 'Doubling Farm Income by 2022'.

In the process of pursuing higher yield and income,we somehow neglected the environment in the past. Wetook the soil, water, air and climate for granted, consideringthem to be a passive, inert player in the process of cropproduction. But now it has boomeranged us. Most of thewater bodies are polluted, air is filthy and soil is degraded.The climate is changing with serious adverse impacts oncrop, soil and water. All these adverse changes are takingits toll on productivity and income of rice farming.

In September 2000, world leaders signed a commitmentto achieve eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)

by 2015. Since then several countries have achieved thetarget to halve the proportion of people who suffer fromhunger by 2015. In 2015, United Nations again set itsAgenda for 'Transforming Our World'. It identified 17sustainable development goals (SDGs) to end poverty,fight inequality and injustice and tackle climate changeby 2030. For India, the SDGs are very crucial and we mustnot miss the target, which we did for the MDGs.

We need is a rational balance where productivity isincreased with a peaceful environment. To achieve thatwe need to manage rice farming in an environment-friendlyway to sustain the food and nutritional security of thecountry with resilience to environmental degradation andclimate change.
