| Paddy Cultivation in Saline Area |
|
In the area where eco-demo farm has been established, paddy cultivation has been quite difficult due to high salinity. But, prior to shrimp cultivation, paddy cultivation was widely practiced in this area. Fish, cow and other bio-diversity were seen centering paddy. But, a severe damage has been observed in last few years to the cattle and other bio-diversity due to non-production of paddy in this area.
For conservation of bio-diversity, meet up fuel consumption of the poor and solving livelihood problems, initiative of paddy cultivation in saline zone has been taken. In this year, BR-41, BR-30 and local variety Jatai Balam culture was practiced for experiment. Among them, BR-41 and Jatai Balam showed good result. This is the first time, ripen paddy has been found on a piece of island like land within the vast shrimp farming areas.
