Title: Large Block Production of Rapeseed in Bardiya District

Abstract: The project was conducted in Bardiya district to increase the rural income through enhanced production of rapeseed. The participatory approach with bottom-up planning was the approach adopted during program implementation. Groups of farmers involved in the production program were impressed with increased output as a result of improved production technology. This time around the farmers very well realized the importance of good quality seed, ignored earlier. Also, there was no system of irrigating this crop in Bardiya despite availability of water in ample quantity. After this project was implemented, the farmers became convinced that as far as the Rapeseed crop was concerned, single irrigation was enough to substantially boost production.
