Rice crop cuts conducted in Odisha (Mayurbhanj, Balasore, Keonjhar, Bhadrak, Khorda, Puri districts)

The major objectives of this rice crop cuts and survey were to: (i) identify major rice yield determinants in western terai districts of Nepal and (ii) to identify major determinants that describe the variability in rice yield across farms thereby linking with farm characteristics and socio-economic gradients. This study uses Remote Sensing (RS) data...

Direct Seeded Rice (DSR) using seed-cum-fertilizer drill is an emerging rice establishment technique in India. How the two versions of DSR (zero-till & dust mulch) are comparable with the most common conventionally transplanted rice is less known. To fill the knowledge gap, CSISA in collaboration with Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) conducted on-farm...

This database integrates farmer field surveys with secondary environmental data for 45,643 farmer fields that cultivated rice between 2016 and 2021. This dataset integrates original survey datasets that have, or will be, published on the CIMMYT Dataverse. Collectively, the dataset covers six regions across South Asia: Andhra Pradesh (n=1,744), Bihar and...

The objective of the Landscape Diagnostic Survey (LDS) for rice is to bridge the existing data-gap around current production practices of rice, and also to help in evidence-based planning. The LDS is designed in a way that data is collected from randomly selected farmers spread uniformly within the Feed the Future (FtF) districs. Data has been collected...

Agriculture is the most severely affected sector due to drought-like situations. Bihar is one of the most vulnerable states to drought due to its geographical location, and its high dependency on rainfed agriculture. The first survey, in Kharif season 2022 covered 518 farmers from 11 districts, 39 blocks and 79 villages of Bihar in October 2022. The...

Two types of experiments conducted in multi-location on-farm trials to evaluate the mechanized crop establishment methods (Drill-Direct Seeded Rice and Mechanical Transplanted Rice) alternative to traditional crop establishment methods (Manual transplanted rice and broadcasting followed by beushening) in three districts of Odisha over three years (2017 to...

The data comes from a survey designed to understand the scope of LLL services in four districts of Mid- and Far-western developmental regions of Nepal Terai that are part of the IGB and have the potential to scale-up LLL. Samples were collected from the districts Banke, Bardiya, Kailali and Kanchanpur. The International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center,...

Landscape Diagnostic Survey (LDS) data contains current rice production practices of rice applied by 8,355 farmers in eight states of India. The objective of collecting this data is to bridge the existing data-gap and to generate data-based evidence that can help in evidence-based planning. The LDS is designed in a way that data is collected from randomly...

Landscape Diagnostic Survey (LDS) for rice contains farmer's data on current production practices they applied for cultivating rice during 2017 monsoon season. The dataset contains 6857 farmers’ information captured from Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Odisha states from eastern part of India. The objective of collecting this data is to bridge the existing...
