RESEARCH NOTES

Characterization of backcross derived lines of Naveen and Swarna having high grainprotein content (GPC)

One high GPC donor, ARC10075, was crossed earlier with high yielding popular varieties, Naveen and Swarna.Backcross derived lines were developed by three consecutive backcrossing with recurrent parents Naveen and Swarna,followed by single seed descent. Some of the derived lines with phenotypic similarities for plant type and yielding abilityto Naveen and Swarna were detected with high GPC in kharif 2012. Phenotyping for plant yield and GPC was repeatedin dry season of 2013. Some of the phenotypically similar lines to Naveen were identified with high GPC in brown ricebased on average of estimated data for two seasons. Similarity was also observed in some grain quality parameters(Table 1). They are PLN-32 (13.1%), PLN-102 (12.5%), PLN-37 (12%) and PLN-63 (11.5%) (Fig. 1). Single grain proteincontent of these lines are also higher (~2 mg) than Naveen. Ten lines were detected from the backcross derived popula-tion based on phenotypic similarity with cv. ‘Swarna’. GPC in brown rice of some of the lines such as PLS-17, PLS-156(Fig. 2), PLS-3, PLS-114 and PLS-133 were higher both in per cent basis and single grain basis (11-13% and 1.55-1.82) ascompared to Swarna. Experiments are being designed to analyze the stability of yield and GPC in introgression linesand confirm the results.

New CMS line of Sahabhagidhan (CRMS 51A)Short duration drought tolerant parental lines are required for developing

rice hybrids with climate resilience. Efforts made earlier identified the droughttolerant variety Sahabhagidhan as a maintainer of the wide abortive (WA)cytoplasm based male sterility (CMS). To germinate a CMS line, this varietywas crossed with the CMS line CRMS 31A, which was taken as female plant.After recurrent backcrosses with Sahabhagidhan a new CMS lines called CRMS51A has been developed. It has plant height of (85-90 cm) and promising outcrossing features like terminal spikelets opening during flowering with goldencolour long bold (LB) grain. It is a very good combiner, having more than 20%out crossing ability. Therefore, the new CMS line CRMS 51A will be of use indevelopment of short duration drought tolerance hybrids.

Exploration of rice germplasm from ManipurThe exploration and collection of rice germplasm were

undertaken from 17 to 24 December 2013 in collaborationwith NBPGR Regional station, Shillong. The germplasm ac-cessions were collected from hill districts like Tamenglongand Ukhrul and valley districts like West Imphal, EastImphal, Bishnupur and Thoubal. Based on the information,emphasis was given in valley districts. A total 30 acces-sions were collected from different districts of Manipur. Thedominant accessions are Longphou, Chakhao, Giniphou,Namphaelong and Kumbhiphou. The scented varieties areGovindbhog and Chakhao which are highly priced. Besidesthese, three accessions of O. rufipogon were collected fromLoktok lake area. During this programme, it was observedthat there is no occurrence of O. nivara and other wild spe-cies of rice in Manipur.

Identification and characterization of an unique rice germplasm with very high grainweight (IC 301206)

While characterizing National rice germplasm for morpho-agronomictraits at CRRI, a unique germplasm was found having 1000-grain weight ofmore than 50 gms. It was a landrace collected from lowland areas of Raipur,Chhattisgarh. The plant is tall with more than 177 cm plant height, 58 cmleaf length, 1.14 cm leaf width and late maturity duration (160 days). Heavypanicle and very high 1000 grain weight (average 50.4 gm) in this germplasmline is associated with less number of tillers per plant (average 5) and lowersingle plant yield (an average of 11.01 gm). The panicles were well exsertedand medium long (29 cm). The grains are long slender and non-aromaticwith an average of grain length of 1.26 cm, breadth 0.3 cm and 4.7 l/b ratio.The size of the grains is depicted in Fig 3 as compared to Swarna. The table

Potential donors possessing super traitsfor designing next generation rice

Genotypes with high biomass (>20 t/ha) coupled withhigh harvest index (>0.5) supported by other superior fea-tures including strong culm are expected to break yieldceiling under good management practices. The targetedtotal biomass can be obtained with ideal plant architec-ture like super rice with modification in total productivetiller number/hill to 6-8 instead of 4-5. This type of ricecan be described as “Next Generation Rice” which canfurther break the yield ceiling. In the present investiga-tion, eleven possible donors of super traits (very heavypanicle, high spikelet number and very long panicle) wereevaluated along with two popular check varieties for con-firmation of the super traits. The experiment was carriedout in RBD with three replications with addition of80:40:40 kg/ha NPK with a need based plant protectionmeasures during wet season, 2013. During the pre-flow-ering period, severe wind speed was due to the cyclone‘phailin’ resulting in depression of yield and associatedtraits. Performance of these lines is given in Table 3.

Significant differences were observed among genotypesfor panicle weight, spikelets / panicle, panicle length,number of secondary and tertiary branches / panicle andgrain yield/plot. The average panicle weight varied from2.43 to 10.03 g amongst the genotypes. The highest aver-age panicle weight was recorded for CR2683-7-1-2-2.Mean spikelets/panicle was observed to be highest ingenotype CR2683-7-1-2-3 with a range of 139 to 339amongst the genotypes. Number of secondary branches/panicle was highest (19.15) in CR2683-7-1-2-3 while ter-tiary branches/panicle showed maximum (77.1) inCR2682-3-1-1-1. With regard to panicle length, the geno-type CR3697-3-2-3-1-1 exhibited a mean panicle length of40.5cm with a range of 24.5cm to 40.5cm. Genotype CR2682-7-1-1-1 showed heavy panicle weight (8.13gm) withhigh spikelet number (276). CR2683-1-1-2-1-1 and CR 2682-7-1-1-1 exhibited high grain yield of 8.03 and 8.5 t/harespectively. These genotypes will be useful as donors ofimportant yield contributing traits for developing nextgeneration rice.

Rusty plum aphid, Hysteroneura setariae (Thomas) an emerging pest of riceRusty plum aphid, Hysteroneura setariae (Thomas) (Hemiptera: Aphididae)

is native to North America but now has started appearing in old world also.Both adults and nymphs of this insect cause damage to plants by sucking thesap from immature grains and leaves. The nymphs are rusty brown or deeppurple. Aphids are usually found on the secondary branches of panicles,some on the spikelets, and very few on the leaves. Grains show brown necroticspots on moderate infestation while all spikelets become brown and chaffywhen heavily infested. Heavy infestation on milk-stage results in empty grainsand turns all spikelets brown and chaffy. When the upper portion of rice plantdries up, this pest migrates to the basal portion and remains in the stubbles.

In kharif 2013, sixty wild/weedy rice and twenty five accessions of culti-vated rice were screened in the greenhouse against rice aphid, of which thewild/weedy rice collections from Assam such as ZA/BCP-20, ZA/BCP-24,ZA/BCP-26, ZA/BCP-27, ZA/BCP-28 and ZA/BCP-32 showed no damage(score 1) by rusty plum aphid, whereas ZA/BCP-08, ZA/BCP-13, ZA/BCP-14and ZA/BCP-18 showed heavy infestation (score 8). Predatory potential ofadult stage of an aphidophagous ladybird beetle, Cheilomenes sexmaculatus (F.)was evaluated against rusty plum aphid. Results revealed that per day meanconsumption of aphids was 26.4 ± 2.6 by male adult beetle, whereas 29.6 ± 3.4in female adult beetle which shows that the female consumed more prey thanthe male. Based on the consumption capacity of C. sexmaculatus, the presentstudy establishes a clear picture of its prey potential and high consumptionrate on rusty plum aphid.

Use of Paclobutrazol (PBZ) to reduce growth of rice seedlings for delayed transplantingAt times, it is needed to delay rice transplanting due to some unavoidable and unforeseen circumstances such as

non-availability of labourers, drought or even excessive rains. Under such situations, it is advisable to reduce the growthof seedlings. Thus, an experiment was conducted to know the physiological effect of the plant growth retardantpaclobutrazol (PBZ) and its impact on the photosynthetic efficiency and the yield was studied by taking three ricevarieties (cv. Varsadhan, Sarala and Durga). Seedlings were treated at the time of pricking out with soil applications ofPBZ at concentrations of 0, 15, 20 ppm. Seedlings of 25, 45 and 60 days old were transplanted in the pot followingstandard package of practice. PBZ in-hibited the vegetative growth of ricesedlings. The height of the seedlingsdecreased significantly in 15 and 20ppm treated PBZ over the control (dis-tilled water treated) irrespective of va-rieties and the age of the seedlings.When the height of the seedlings de-creased the increase in tiller numberper seedlings were recorded in the 15and 20 ppm treated PBZ over control.It seems the photosynthates accumu-lated in the plant were being utilizedin increasing the tillering efficiency ofthe plants instead of increasing theheight of the plants, showing underthe control. Number of leaves and theseedling dry matter increased signifi-cantly in the treated seedlings as com-pared to the control plants.

There was a significant increase inphotosynthetic rate in cv Sarala bothunder 15 and 20 ppm of PBZ over con-trol irrespective of the age of the seedling (Fig 4). Other two varieties, Varshadhan and Durga did not show any trend inthe terms of photosynthetic rate. Grain yield and dry biomass per plant decreased in both the treatments over controlirrespective of the rice variety and age of the seedling. The reduced height and increased thickness of the young plant

stem, as well as the accelerated leaf formation are the significant advantage of the PBZ treatment, contributing to theimprovement of seedling quality at planting. Soil treatment (15 and 20 ppm) PBZ improves the photosynthetic activity ofrice cv. Sarala.

Participatory varietal selection with drought tolerant varietiesParticipatory varietal selection (PVS) offers farmers a

choice of crop varieties matched to their needs while over-coming the limitations of traditional, on-station testing sys-tems. In the standardized PVS process in the form of on-farm mother-baby trial design, a set of 10-12 advanced breed-ing lines were grown as farmer managed trials. Perceptionsof both men and women farmers regarding the improvedagronomic traits, yield and quality as prioritized by them as‘preference scores’ were gathered at different growing stagesby the researchers. Preference scores were analyzed to se-lect 2-3 genotypes liked by most farmers which were thengrown in larger field plots to further validate their accept-ability. Twelve promising new germplasm coming out ofthe drought breeding network of the STRASA project wereevaluated along with three checks in participatory on-farmtrials at three villages of Jharkhand using mother trial withtwo replications. Transplanting was delayed due to late on-set of monsoon causing insufficient rain at the early part ofthe season. With some rain at the initial part of August the trials could be transplanted. Again there was no rain duringfirst fortnight of September and the crops suffered severe vegetative stage moisture stress. Farmers’ preference scoringwas conducted at maturity at all three sites. During preference analysis, Abhishek was most liked by farmers at all threesites. This variety was followed by IR83376-B-B-130-2 and IR83383-B-B-129-3 liked at two sites each. Farmer preferencewas closely influenced by grain yield but they also looked for phenotypic appearance, especially panicle length, filledand unfilled grain number and intermediate stature for more straw. These genotypes yielded 3.5 to 4.0 t/ha which isabout 0.5 to 1.0 t/ha more than the popular variety IR 64.

Evaluation of weed management practices under direct seed rice (DSR)Different weed control methods under DSR were evalu-

ated by CRURRS, Hazaribag. Pre-emergence application ofpendimethalin alone and followed either by a post emer-gence application of Byspiribac sodium or mechanical weed-ing with wheel hoe were followed. These interventions werecompared with two hand weedings or wheel hoe 21 and 42days after sowing. Growing a crop of Sesbania spp. in be-tween rice lines (Sahbhagi dhan) for six weeks and brownmulching with 2,4 D was also included as one of the treat-ments. Weed count and biomass 40 days after sowing, atflowering and at rice harvest was lowest in the treatmentinvolving mechanical weeding using wheel hoe at 21 and42 days after sowing. Grain yield (4.19 t/ha) in this treat-ment was second only to the weed free check (4.63 t/ha).This treatment recorded a benefit cost ratio of 2.18 and wasadjudged the best treatment in terms of yield as well as B:Cratio. Mechanical weeding using wheel hoes would be ef-

fective in light soils and under drought conditions. Brown manuring (Sesbania followed by 2,4 D) recorded the highestB:C ratio (2.19) owing to the lowest cost of cultivation. Even though rice grain yield was not at par with hoeing, brownmulching will be preferred in heavy soils and wet conditions due to poor workability of hoes and labour scarcity.

Pyrazosulfuron Ethyl effective against weeds in Boro RiceWeeds are one of the most widespread biological con-

straints in boro rice cultivation in the Lower BrahmaputraValley Zone of Assam. Scirpus mucronatus (Bulrush),Leptochloa chinensis, Echhinochloa glabrescens, Echhinochloacolona, Cyperus iria, Cyperus difformis, Monocharia vaginalis,Ludwigia adscendens, Marsilea quadrifolia, Hydrilla verticillataconstitute the major weed flora in boro rice incurring seriousyield losses. Four pre-emergence herbicides, namely (i)Chlorimuron+Metsulfuron methyl (Almix) @ 4g a.i./ha, (ii)Bensulfuron methyl+Pretilachlor (Londax Power) @60g+600g a.i./ha, (iii) Butachlor @ 1.5 kg a.i./ha and (iv)Pyrazosulfuron ethyl @ 200g a.i./ha were tested againstweeds during boro season. The rice variety used was ‘CRDhan 601’. Application of Pyrazosulfuron ethyl @ 200g a.i./ha at 5 days after transplanting provided 100% weed con-trol during early crop growth period (up to 45 DAT). Thehigher values of growth parameters and yield attributes,viz., panicle length, number of filled grains per panicle re-

flected its compatibility with rice crop. Weed density at harvest was also very low which shows its effectiveness. Theyield (6.9 t/ha) harvested from Pyrazosulfuron-treated plots was at par with weed-free plots (7.2 t/ha). Yield in weedycheck was 5.4 t/ha.

The “Phailin” that played havocIn the month of October, the cyclone “Phailin” created

havoc in the costal Odisha with its high wind speed thatdamaged houses, animals, agricultural crops, fisheries etc.in addition to causing loss of human life and properties.As per the estimates of the Government of Odisha, 24 dis-tricts were affected with 6.51 lakh ha area suffering morethan 50 % crop loss. Major crop losses occurred in case ofrice, maize, cashew, coconut, banana, papaya and betelvine. About 32.8 lakh large animals and 14.4 lakh smallanimals were affected; 6209 boats and 9622 fishing netswere completely damaged; 1899 boats and 21436 netspartially damaged. Besides, 196 ha Eri, 308 ha Mulberryand 157 ha Tasar were damaged, affecting 2536 farmersengaged in sericulture. As per the estimate, 2300 crafts-man and 767 weavers lost their establishment and 3455craftsmen lost their raw materials. The crops were alsosubmerged due to heavy downpours associated with cy-clonic weather. The crops at flowering and fruiting stagewere affected to a large extent due to lodging and shatter-ing. There was saline inundation due to sea water ingres-sion in many coastal tracts. There is also the problem ofsand casting in some of the coastal areas.

Odisha appears to be the favourite hunting ground ofthe Mother Nature. The deadly occurrences of floods, cy-clones, heat waves and droughts have made Odisha thedisaster capital of India. In the last 120 years (1890-2011),cyclones hit Odisha coast 105 times, mostly during post-monsoon periods of October & November and pre-mon-soon periods of April & May. The frequency of cyclonicstorms remains steady but the frequency of severe cyclonesseems to have risen in the recent years. Phailin was thesecond strongest after the disastrous super-cyclone of1999.

Cyclone is not preventable. However, the extent of lossand damage can be minimized through proper planning.Planning for cyclone disaster management can be madein three stages: pre-cyclone, during cyclone, and post-cy-clone. Planning at all these stages is important. Involve-ment of people from cyclone-prone villages in the man-agement at all three stages is necessary. The most impor-tant activity is the receipt of a cyclone warning from themeteorological department well in advance and with ut-most accuracy. Indian Meteorological Department (IMD)accurately predicted the genesis, intensity, track, and pointand time of landfall, and also the adverse weather condi-tions like heavy rainfall, gale wind and storm surge, 4 to 5days in advance during “Phailin”. The accurate estima-tion of the phailin pathway could help the government ofOdisha to evacuate around 10 lakh people from the af-

fected areas well in advance and minimized the loss ofhuman life. Given the technology and expertise availabletoday, we should be able to maintain high standard ofaccuracy in cyclone prediction.

There are several pre-and post-disaster phase measuresthat need to be implemented with all sincerity for ensur-ing livelihood security of the farmers. Crop insurance inthe cyclone prone areas can be a risk management mea-sure. Besides, application of potash can recover the ricecrop since the leaves crack due to heavy wind and possi-bility of occurrence of disease pest infection increases fol-lowing cyclone. In coastal areas, kewara (Pandanus)planted on the border of rice fields can act as a wind bar-rier damage to thereby reducing the rice crop. Since therice crop lodges at maturity stage, varieties with strongstem and having certain degree of seed dormancy need tobe promoted in such vulnerable areas. Flooding the ricefield with water before cyclone also helps in reducing lodg-ing. Immediate supply of seeds of short duration rice vari-eties with moisture and temperature stress tolerance hasto be ensured for an early rabi crop if irrigation sources areavailable to compensate for the loss of rice production inkharif. Quality seeds of blackgram, greengram, ground-nut, sunflower, maize and vegetables (onion, tomato,brinjal and chilli) are also required to be supplied in suffi-cient quantity for ensuring food and livelihood security.Supply of milch cattle, goats, poultry birds and cattle feedalong with proper healthcare measures for the animalsand birds, and construction of temporary shelters/shedscan restore the animal sector.

CRRI scientist surveyed the affected areas along withthe central team and state officials to assess the losses.The institute staff also contributed Rs. 4,56,170/- (Rupeesfour lakhs fifty six thousand and one hundred seventyonly) to the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund for the benefit ofthe affected people. Besides, to enhance the adaptive ca-pacity to climate change, seeds of short duration rice vari-eties and hybrids of brinjal and tomato have been sup-plied in the adopted villages of Purusottampur andKhalikote blocks of Ganjam district, Odisha. However,implementation of the above action points calls for com-ing together of all concerned institutions/departments.Let all of us join hands for ensuring rural livelihoodsecurity.
