Abstract


The practice of growing a medium or long duration crop of rice in the Kharif season, June-December in the wet land followed by a pulse crop of either Biri or Mung is the most common one in areas commanded by the Taldanda canal of Cuttack district. Water supply is available usually upto the middle of April every year. Though the Mung or Biri may be given one or two irrigations, the growing of these crops is often a gamble and even under most favourable circumstances an acre yield of 3 to 4 maunds may be the most expected.
