The output growth has been very substantial and characterised by increasing dependence on the dry period irrigated boro HYV and of late hybrid rice; the change-over to boro HYVs largely through conversion of the land from the overlapping aus season the prospects which are now limited; and largely static absolute acreage but variable output from wet period aman rice.
