Abstract
Rice is the staple food in India. The varieties of rice used for cultivation vary with land situation. A study was conducted to know the adoption of Assam Agricultural University (AAU)’s rice varieties by the farmers in Dhubri district of the state of Assam. To conduct the study, on adoption of the said improved rice varieties, a total of 120 numbers of farmers from three Agricultural Development Officer (ADO) circles were selected. The study was conducted from July, 2021 to February 2022. Multiple regression analysis was done to determine the factors responsible for the adoption of AAU rice varieties. The study revealed that the AAU developed varieties like Ranjit sub1, Bahadur Sub 1, Prafulla, Gitesh, Swarna Sub 1 were adopted by farmers for flood affected situation. For flood free situation, the AAU developed varieties like Ranjit, Bahadur, Mahsuri were adopted. Out of the different varieties, Ranjit and Ranjit sub 1 variety was adopted by the highest numbers of farmers. The factor availability of seeds is significant at 0.01 level and educational qualification of farmers and occurrence of flood was significant at 0.05 level.
