A progressive farmer in Assam&amp;rsquo;s Goalpara district is leading a mission to grow black rice in the State&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A farmer from Assam&amp;lsquo;s Goalpara district has created history of sort by not only successfully cultivating a black rice variety called Oryza Sativa but has also initiated more than 200 othersinto it. This year, the progressive farmer, Upendra Rabha, of the district&amp;rsquo;s Amguripara area, helped grow black rice in 500 bighasof land along with others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rabha says, in 2011, Dr Uttam Kumar Baruah, a scientist in the Krishi Vigyan Kendra of Goalpara, gave him seeds of the variety weighing about a kg.&amp;ldquo;I wetted the seeds in water but only one of the seeds flowered after two days. I was waiting for the remaining seeds to flower for over a week but nothing happened,&amp;rdquo; he recalls.Applying cow dung, he, nevertheless, planted the sole seedling at a corner of his paddy field where he grew rice of Ranjit variety that year. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The seedling produced 15 panicles from which I harvested 150 gram seed in 2011,&amp;rdquo; says Rabha. His experiment with the seed drew flak from fellow farmers but he remained steadfast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;In 2012,I harvested 48 kg of paddy from the 150 gram seeds,&amp;rdquo; he says. In 2013, he produced 1600 kg rice from 0.8 hector area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The quantity only grew. In 2014,Rabha persuaded 30 farmers of hisvillage to till the variety. Together, they produced over 1200 quintalsof black rice from 160 kg of seeds in 13.2 hector land. Having felt necessary to extend the area of cultivation, Rabha began to motivate more farmers of his village to take it up. Two hundred of them agreed to till the variety in 500 bighas of land under a Central Government scheme, Agriculture Technology Management Agency (ATMA) 2014-15. As many as 50 farmers also came together to constitute Amguripara Black Rice Production Committee to take forward Rabha&amp;rsquo;s mission in an organised manner.This year, the output is 200 tonne from 25 quintals of seeds. Though the perbigha output is 520 kg, the average production of a bigha is 400 kg.&lt;br /&gt;

This year, the progressive farmer, Upendra Rabha, of the district&amp;rsquo;s Amguripara area, helped grow black rice in 500 bighasof land along with others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rabha says, in 2011, Dr Uttam Kumar Baruah, a scientist in the Krishi Vigyan Kendra of Goalpara, gave him seeds of the variety weighing about a kg.&amp;ldquo;I wetted the seeds in water but only one of the seeds flowered after two days. I was waiting for the remaining seeds to flower for over a week but nothing happened,&amp;rdquo; he recalls.Applying cow dung, he, nevertheless, planted the sole seedling at a corner of his paddy field where he grew rice of Ranjit variety that year. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;The seedling produced 15 panicles from which I harvested 150 gram seed in 2011,&amp;rdquo; says Rabha. His experiment with the seed drew flak from fellow farmers but he remained steadfast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;In 2012,I harvested 48 kg of paddy from the 150 gram seeds,&amp;rdquo; he says. In 2013, he produced 1600 kg rice from 0.8 hector area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The quantity only grew. In 2014,Rabha persuaded 30 farmers of hisvillage to till the variety. Together, they produced over 1200 quintalsof black rice from 160 kg of seeds in 13.2 hector land. Having felt necessary to extend the area of cultivation, Rabha began to motivate more farmers of his village to take it up. Two hundred of them agreed to till the variety in 500 bighas of land under a Central Government scheme, Agriculture Technology Management Agency (ATMA) 2014-15. As many as 50 farmers also came together to constitute Amguripara Black Rice Production Committee to take forward Rabha&amp;rsquo;s mission in an organised manner.This year, the output is 200 tonne from 25 quintals of seeds. Though the perbigha output is 520 kg, the average production of a bigha is 400 kg.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nezine.com/info/Black%20rice%20cultivation-%20a%20success%20story%20in%20Assam&quot; title=&quot;http://www.nezine.com/info/Black%20rice%20cultivation-%20a%20success%20story%20in%20Assam&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;

This year, the progressive farmer, Upendra Rabha, of the district&amp;rsquo;s Amguripara area, helped grow black rice in 500 bighasof land along with others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rabha says, in 2011, Dr Uttam Kumar Baruah, a scientist in the Krishi Vigyan Kendra of Goalpara, gave him seeds of the variety weighing about a kg.&amp;ldquo;I wetted the seeds in water but only one of the seeds flowered after two days. I was waiting for the remaining seeds to flower for over a week but nothing happened,&amp;rdquo; he recalls.Applying cow dung, he, nevertheless, planted the sole seedling at a corner of his paddy field where he grew rice of Ranjit variety that year. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;The seedling produced 15 panicles from which I harvested 150 gram seed in 2011,&amp;rdquo; says Rabha. His experiment with the seed drew flak from fellow farmers but he remained steadfast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;In 2012,I harvested 48 kg of paddy from the 150 gram seeds,&amp;rdquo; he says. In 2013, he produced 1600 kg rice from 0.8 hector area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The quantity only grew. In 2014,Rabha persuaded 30 farmers of hisvillage to till the variety. Together, they produced over 1200 quintalsof black rice from 160 kg of seeds in 13.2 hector land. Having felt necessary to extend the area of cultivation, Rabha began to motivate more farmers of his village to take it up. Two hundred of them agreed to till the variety in 500 bighas of land under a Central Government scheme, Agriculture Technology Management Agency (ATMA) 2014-15. As many as 50 farmers also came together to constitute Amguripara Black Rice Production Committee to take forward Rabha&amp;rsquo;s mission in an organised manner.This year, the output is 200 tonne from 25 quintals of seeds. Though the perbigha output is 520 kg, the average production of a bigha is 400 kg.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nezine.com/info/Black%20rice%20cultivation-%20a%20success%20story%20in%20Assam&quot; title=&quot;http://www.nezine.com/info/Black%20rice%20cultivation-%20a%20success%20story%20in%20Assam&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;,
