Greetings from ICAR-DWR

Direct-seeded rice (DSR) is gaining

momentum as a resource-conserving and climate-

smart alternative to conventional puddled

transplanted rice. Labour shortage for

transplanting owing to COVID-19 pandemic

coupled with a sharp increase in wages and rapid

decline in water resources are forcing farmers to

shift towards DSR. In Punjab the area under DSR

increased from 2.35 lakh ha in 2019 to 6.00 lakh ha

in 2021 (around 20.5% of total rice area). The

success of DSR, however largely depends on its

proper early establishment and effective weed

management. The breakthrough research like 'Tar-

wattar' seeding technology and 'Lucky Seed Drill'

developed under AICRP-WM, PAU, Ludhiana,

'KAU Weed Wiper' (to control weedy rice) by

AICRP-WM, KAU Thrissur, and herbicide-

tolerant rice varieties (Pusa Basmati 1979 and Pusa

Basmati 1985) by ICAR-IARI, New Delhi, and

availability of herbicides for broad-spectrum

weed control coupled with good agronomic

practices will help farmers to control weeds and

improve the productivity of DSR.

During July to December, 2021, our major

research highlights included: crop-weed

interaction and herbicide efficacy, understanding

molecular and physiological mechanisms of stress

tolerance in Parthenium, evaluation of herbicide-

tolerant rice cultivar, development of sensor-

based herbicide sprayers, and effect of tillage and

herbicides on soil microbes. To widen the scope of

weed research, 05 MoUs were signed between the

Directorate and other organizations. In addition,

the capacity building programme for extension

personnel and farmers through training

programmes, field days and visits were organized.

Besides a number of scientific and extension

lecture series were organized for the capacity

building of scientist and farmers.

The editorial board and the staff strive to

improve the efficiency and the scope of the

newsletter. I appreciate their efforts during trying

times in the past, almost two years. On behalf of

the Directorate and my own behalf, I wish you all a

healthy, happy and successful 2022.

Effect of elevated CO on crop-weed interaction and herbicide 2

efficacy

Dasari Sreekanth, Pawar Deepak and Shobha Sondhia

Climate change is likely to have a major impact on global

agriculture. Atmospheric CO concentrations have increased at a 2

record-breaking rate to 418 ppm in the year 2021. Weeds may

exhibit differential responses to higher levels of CO and 2

temperature, which can affect the crop-weed competition and

efficiency of herbicides, making weed management a major

challenge for sustainable crop production.

Studies conducted during Kharif 2021 in FACE revealed

that the elevated CO level significantly reduced the efficacy of 2

2,4-D to control Alternanthera paronychioides in direct-seeded rice

resulting in higher reduction of rice yield due to greater weed-

competition compared to ambient condition. The elevated CO 2

significantly increased fresh weight, dry weight and root volume

of Alternanthera by 24.12%, 12.48% and 36.36%, respectively.

Weeds may become more difficult to control under elevated CO 2

due to increase in root biomass.

Modified extraction method to isolate high quality RNA from Parthenium hysterophorus L. root tissues

Pawar Deepak Vishwanath, Dasari Sreekanth, and Shobha Sondhia

Plant roots are the primary organ involved in the abiotic stress sensing. High quality of RNA is essential for carrying out various downstream molecular biology experiments. However, isolating high quality RNA from plant tissues, with enough quality and quantity may be challenging, mainly due to their biochemical composition that can obstruct or even prevent the RNA extraction.

P. hysterophorus can be used as model plant to study the

molecular and physiological mechanisms of stress tolerance. To

standardize the RNA isolation from root tissues, efficacy of 16

existing RNA isolation methods were compared. The PVP-

ethanol precipitation method comparatively gave good quantity

of RNA but with contaminants as indicated by the A and 260/A280

Management of weedy rice through herbicide tolerant rice cultivar

VK Dubey, MP Sahu and VK Choudhary

Weedy rice is an emerging problem in direct-seeded rice

(DSR) in South Asia. It is very difficult to control because of its

phenotypic similarities with cultivated rice. Seed dormancy,

longevity and early shattering further exaggerated the problems.

The yield loss due to weedy rice has been reported by 20-91%

based on their density. It cannot be controlled by recommended

rice herbicides and also by nonprofessional labourers. Therefore,

imazethapyr-tolerant rice (SAVA 134 developed Savanna Seeds)

was used as a potential option to control weedy rice along with

weed complex in DSR.

ethanol precipitation method for obtaining good quality RNA.

The modifications were mainly done in the extraction buffer

components, duration of the absolute ethanol precipitation and

the tissue:buffer ratio. The total RNA isolated by using modified

method was used as a template for synthesizing cDNA and

further confirmed by good amplification of the target gene

'Elongation initiation factor 1á (EIF1á)' housekeeping gene and

Acetolactate synthase (ALS) gene expression by RT-PCR.

Application timing of pendimethalin affects its bio-efficacy in direct-seeded rice

MP Sahu, AK Patel and VK Choudhary

Being sensitive to intense light and high temperature,

timing of pendimethalin application is expected to play a

significant role in its efficacy against weeds. Results showed that

application of pendimethalin at 4 PM on a bright sunshine day

with clear weather resulted in

68.2% of weed control efficiency

with 5.37 t/ha of grain yield; and

it was comparable to i ts

application at 8 am (64.8% and

5.28 t/ha). These treatments

were superior to its application

at 10 AM, 12 noon and 2 PM.

Therefore, it is suggested that

pendimethal in should be

applied either during the early

morning or late evening hours

for better weed control.

Optimization of seed rate and weed management in direct-seeded rice

Kalicharan Ahirwar, MP Sahu and VK Choudhary

Weed infestation in direct-seeded rice is very severe,

and sometimes complete crop loss has been recorded. In central

and eastern India, farmers normally use 100 to 150 kg seed/ha.

Therefore, a study was conducted to optimize seed rate and

weed management in DSR. Results revealed that seed rate of 40

kg/ha with pretilachlor + pyrazosulfuron 615 g/ha (PE) fb

cyhalofop + penoxsulam 135 g/ha (Post) can be used for better

weed control, and higher productivity & profitability.

It was found that sequential application of imazethapyr at 100

and 125 g/ha at early and late post-emergence considerably

control the weedy rice and also gave grain yield of 4.2-4.5 t/ha,

which was superior to bispyribac-sodium at 25 g/ha.

Development of sensor based pre-emergence herbicide applicator

Chetan CRA magnetic Hall sensor based pre-emergence herbicide

applicator, adaptable to all types of seed drills and planters, was developed at ICAR-DWR, Jabalpur. It automatically cutoff herbicide spraying as and when seed-drills/planters stop moving; thus, around 15-20% of herbicide application volume


Cellulolytic microbes under different weed management

practicesHimanshu Mahawar, KK Barman and VK Choudhary

Rhizospheric microbes help in increasing crop

production by increasing soil fertility as well as by enhancing the

ability of crop plants in mitigating various biotic and abiotic

stresses. Tillage and herbicides used to manage weeds affect

ecology and biological equilibrium of soil, and thereby the

growth performance of soil microbes. Conservation agriculture

with major emphasis on the practices of zero tillage, residue

recycling and chemical weed management is being advocated

over the traditional intensive tillage based cultivation.

Decomposition of organic matter is a microbial process driven by

a group of microbes collectively known as cellulolytic

microorganisms. The observations recorded during Kharif 2021

showed that in absence of herbicide the population of cellulolytic

microbes in maize rhizosphere was 10.34% higher under ZT

compared to CT, indicating adverse effect of tillage on this

population. Application of atrazine (PE) fb topramezone (Post)

decreased the cellulolytic population by 41% under CT and 33%

under ZT. Interestingly, under integrated weed management

treatment (Atrazine fb hand pulling of weeds), the cellulolytic

population was reduced by 31% under CT but it increased by

10% under ZT. These observations indicated that topramezone

was harmful for the cellulolytic microbes and the effect was more

intense in CT than ZT.

can be saved. The developed system costs only Rs. 3000/. Further, as it is attached to sowing/planting machine, it also saves the operational cost of herbicide application.

The system is having two plastic tanks of 50 litres

capacity each for storage of herbicide. The tanks are mounted at

both sides of planter/seeder on a base frame. The diaphragm

spray pump is connected to each tank to pressurize the liquid.

The outflow of pumps are combined and made into a single

liquid flow path that passes through a Solenoid valve, and finally

to nozzles for liquid atomization. A 12 VDC solenoid valve was

used in the system to regulate the herbicide liquid flow by using

relay switch and microcontroller based electronic circuit. A 12

VDC battery was used as power source for spray pumps, micro-

controller based electronic unit and solenoid valve. The

microcontroller was programmed in such a way that when Hall

detects a magnetic field it gives

a signal to relay-switch to get off

and vice-versa. Power to

solenoid valve is supplied

through relay switch. When

relay switch gets off, so does the

solenoid valve and the flow of

herbicide. Likewise, when relay

switch gets on, solenoid valve

get switched on and allows the

herbicide solution to pass

through.


Tree plantation A tree plantation event with the theme of 'Har Med Par

rdPed' was organized on the eve of ICAR's 93 ICAR Foundation thDay, the 16 July, 2021. All the staff including contractual farm

workers attended the event. In the beginning, Dr. JS Mishra, Director, ICAR-DWR urged that, while going to the villages under various ongoing programmes like Mera gaon mera gaurav, SCSP, OFR, etc., the scientists and other technical staff should use every opportunity to make the farmers aware about the theme

'Har Med Par Ped'. The farmers should be encouraged to plant suitable food trees along the farm bunds, so that they can get some extra income besides benefiting the environment without affecting the production of field crops. On this occasion, 250 saplings of karaunda, drumstick and jackfruit trees were planted along the Directorate's research farm boundary.

Media Campaign on Agro-waste utilizationCampaigning through SMS, WhatsApp messages,

Facebook, Twitter handle and Website of the Directorate was carried out throughout the month of July 2021 for increasing awareness and encouraging the farmers to utilize agro-wastes and weed biomass for compost preparation. A video on vermi-compost preparation using water hyacinth, and an extension folder in pdf format on composting of Parthenium biomass were uploaded in the Directorate's digital media accounts, and the links were communicated to the
