Crop Cutting Experiments on Winter Rice conducted
during 2007-08
 Deficiencies detected in conducting Crop Cutting Experiments –
 Crop Cutting Experiments on Rice cover only 6% villages.
 A large number of plots have shown zero yield in 2007-08 Crop Cutting
Experiment.
 In two districts of Cachar & Morigaon, zero yield was recorded in 71
experiments (33% of total experiments).
 In Cachar district 47% of the area produced ‘Zero’ yield.
 Cachar district recorded 814 Kg. against normal productivity of 2014 Kg.
per hectare and Morigaon district 618 Kg. against normal productivity of
1115 Kg. per hectare.
 Decisions taken i. To cover 12% of the total villages under Crop Cutting Experiments from
2009-10 Kharif season.
ii. Zero yield will be recorded after joint verification of the field with
Agriculture Department.
iii. Additional fund and manpower will be provided to strengthen statistical
system in the State.
