Findings
1. SRI practices incurred more cost than conventional and traditional method of paddy cultivation.
2. By principle SRI is not as such practiced by farmers
3. Per acre SRI production is more than conventional and traditional methods

Present Status of Paddy Cultivation in Netrang
Region
•100 % farmers are adopting hybrid and composite seeds for convention and SRI paddy cultivation method.
• Farmers attitude under conventional farming has been also changed after getting SRI training.
• Cono-weeder is not used by any farmer for weeding operation.
Cono-weeder is not used by any farmer for weeding operation.
• In SRI field fertilizer use is increasing rather than use of FYM (farm yard manure).
• conventional paddy cultivation method is gradually shifting to SRI practice (new conventional method or partial SRI adopters)
•Traditional method is now no more widely practiced for paddy cultivation.

Action Plan
Existing system for SRI implementation
1. Village level meeting for farmers
2. Selection of farmers and theoretical teaching
3. 200 Rs incentive for SRI practice for initial two years
4. Village level meeting conducted by EV(Extension volunteer) and Para worker
Major challenges
i. Farmers are participating in training but not following SRI
ii. Labour constraints during peak session
iii. Implementers and farmers deviation from core principle of SRIiii. Implementers and farmers deviation from core principle of SRI
iv. Agronomical practices
Intervention points
a) In village level meeting priority should be given to small land holding farmers
b) Practical demonstration of SRI steps in nearby field (seeing is believing); more
focus should be on core concept of SRI and input use pattern
c) Cono- weeder promotion
d) Efficient utilization of incentive money for better training and exposure to field
staff, farmers, and agriculture labors.
e) Develop push mechanism for partial SRI adopters.
f) Labor issues resolved by involvement of SHGs in agricultural practices
