Abstract
This study investigates the prospect and constraint of BRRI developed Aman rice varieties in Bangladesh. To address the objective 13 Upazila of Mymensingh district selected purposively. Farm-level data was collected through farmers’ group discussions (FGD) with the key informants and face to face interviews for household surveys. A multistage random sampling technique was adopted in selecting the 780 respondents. Moreover, in total, twenty-six FGDs and interviews of experts were conducted to generate in-depth data and validation of data about the adaptation dynamics of rice varieties in the Aman season. Both the descriptive and inferential statistics were used to process the data. A censored Tobit model was used to measure the adoption intensity of BBRI released Aman varieties. The empirical findings of the study show that farmers adopted about 68 percent of BRRI varieties followed by indigenous (15.6%), other MVs (10.2%), Indian (5.5%), and hybrid (1.3%). Moreover, susceptibility biotic and abiotic stresses, longer growth duration, and unavailability of quality seed were the major reasons for decreasing adoption. But still now among the farmers, the popularity of BRRI varieties has higher. The model result reveals that family size, farm size, easy access to extension services, and better market demand along with higher yield potential, good appearance, higher price, and good taste to eat had a positive significant influence on the widespread adoption of BRRI cultivars in Mymensingh district. Therefore, in the process of varietal development, to develop and disseminate, researchers must consider the preferences of the rice value chain actors and the agro-climatic conditions of the regions. In this regard, due consideration should be given to increased yield potential, biotic, and abiotic stress-tolerant, short to medium growth duration, good market demand.
Key Words: Aman season, Adoption, BRRI varieties, Criteria & constraints and Tobit censored regression
