Participatory Variety Selection (PVS)

Dr. Helal Uddin Ahmed CSO & Head, BRRI R/S Barisal

Selection of Rice Variety through Farmers Participation: What it this?

Why we do? Where will ? Who will participate? And How?

What is PVS
Where scientists and farmers directly involves to identify variety for cultivation in a certain targeted area.

This can be done in two ways:

Mother Trial, MT Baby Trial, BT

Mother Trial,
 When a trial conducted in experimental field or in farmers field but variety selected by the farmers opinion/participation. (1st year)  10-15 lines can be used

Baby Trial, BT
 When few selected lines from the mother trial conducted in farmers field by farmers management and selected by farmers.

Where?
Trial can be set in farmers field or experimental plot PVS for certain area Focus certain problem

Who will participate

Scientists Farmers both male and Female Public Representatives GO NGO Representatives

Why PVS?
 Farmers directly give their opinion  Local problem preference  Depends on farmers likings  Selection for own variety Easily acceptable Rapid coverage

How this can be done?

It can be done by casting vote:
Observation Choose your variety/lines Cast your vote Count your vote Result Discussions Next action

Positive traits of PVS lines:

Higher tiller number per hill Comparatively lower insect pest and disease infestation Long panicle with higher number of grains Higher plant height Expectation of higher yield Submergence and salinity tolerance Non-lodging tendency (Tolerant to stormy weather) Fine grain quality

Negative traits of PVS lines:

Shorter panicle and less grain number High sterility Less number of tillers per hill Damage by insect and disease in submergence

 Establishment of Salinity and Submergence Tolerance Variety What is Salinity and how salinity grow in rice field?
* When Na ion present in the soil or water then we can say thats condition is salinity. * When it is in a certain range crops can be grown

* 0.75 ds/m level of water is safe for crops in dry season. * Upto 4ds/m salinity in soil crop can grow. How salinity developed? Generally sea water is responsible for salinity But excess evaporation can also cause salinity in the soil

How salinity affects ?

* Occur plasmolysis, cell sap comes out from cell and plant became lean/weak * Water tension more, plant can not absorbe water * Na ion absorption more and imbalane of nutrient status in the cell

salinity affects rice field

To face these problems what to do

Develop Saline Tolerant Variety Management practices Organic matter use use sweet water (to wash salinity) Gypsum application (Na ion replace by Ca ion)

BRRI and IRRI Collaboration

Development of Saline Tolerant Variety BRRI give emphasis to develop saline tolerant variety BRR-IRRI strong collaboration Screening facilities developed BRRI developed saline tolerant variety for Aus , Aman, Boro season.

What is Submergence?
Flash floods regularly affect rainfed lowland rice (T.Aman) ecosystems of Bangladesh where floodwater remains for around two weeks in many parts of the country. Flash floods can result in yield losses of up to 100% depending upon different factors of submergence prone ecosystem.

Submergence
More than 2.0 mha areas of Bangladesh are affected by different grades of flash floods (Iftekharuddaula et al., 2009). The ecosystem affected by flash floods mainly constitutes low to medium lowland.

Screening facilities at BRRI

BRRI developed facilities for screening submergence tolerance 3 week old seedlings completely submerged for 2 weeks Submergence tol. identified
