1. Diagnostic and Development of Seed
Certification Protocols for Management of Seed
Transmitted Viral Diseases in Grain legumes
  • Field survey carried out for mandate crops in
    Gujarat, Rajasthan, UP and Uttaranchal.
  • Intensity of Viral Diseases varied from 1.0 ULCD
    in Green Gram to 35 CABMV in Cowpea.
  • Disease Free Sites were also identified.
  • Variability across Eco-zones was studied.
  • Seed Health Procedures were standardized.
  • SMV of Soybean was taken as Model to Develop
    Certification Protocol.
  • The application of the output will bring
    awareness on the seed transmitted viruses of
    grain legumes and boost their virus free seed
    production programme that would lead to increase
    in yield and enhance the socio-economic status of
    the farmers.

2. Use of Urban and Industrial Effluents in
Agriculture
  • The effluents were found contaminated with heavy
    metals viz., Co, Cd, Cr, Ni, Pb and also
    contained high BOD and COD than permissible
    limits.
  • The use of treated mix industrial effluent with
    alternate use of tube well water (11) was found
    more beneficial and increased cabbage head yield
    by 42 per cent over tube well under pearl millet
    cabbage sorghum (fodder) system. However,
    growing of sorghum for fodder purpose is a
    concern for animal health due to high contents of
    heavy metals.
  • Use of sewage and tube well water (11) for
    irrigation may give savings of about Rs.1000/-
    towards the cost of chemical fertilizer (N) in
    sewage irrigated areas to farmers following
    cabbage/cauliflower okra sweet corn cropping
    sequence. Similarly, use of treated effluent with
    tube well water (11) may also give yearly
    benefit of Rs.11,000/- per ha in cabbage
    sorghum (fodder) pearl millet cropping sequence

1. Improving Productivity of Rainfed Maize Based
Cropping System with Rainwater Management on
Micro-Watershed bases.
  • Watershed Mahakuna-6 of Mangaliana village
    (Godhara) was selected
  • Improved variety of seeds, INM, Ridge Making,
    Inter Cropping, IPDM, Cultural Practices and Weed
    Management significantly enhanced productivity by
    227 kg/ha (UR), 539 (MR) and 654 kg/ha (LR) over
    farmers practices (1268 kg/ha).
  • Maximum net economic return was (Rs.8018/ha)
    obtained with improved package of practices alone
    with inter cropping and weed management and was
    minimum with farmers practices (Rs.4032/ha).
  • Lower ridge level registered maximum net
    realization of Rs.7132/ha as against upper ridge
    level (Rs.4666/ha).
  • The area has been increased up to 65 ha from
    barely 1 ha experimental area within a year after
    implementation of the programme.

2. Resource characterization and Socio Economic
Constraint Analysis of Productivity in Maize
Based Production System
  • Resource characterization and Socio Economic
    Constraints Analysis of Productivity in maize
    completed.
  • The growth rate analysis showed significant
    increase in area of maize in Panchmahal at the
    rate of 2.13 (Period-II) and in Sabarkantha at
    the rate of 1.92 (Period-I). The bajra, groundnut
    and green gram were identified as competitive
    crops of maize in targeted districts.
  • The Taluka wise soil fertility maps of all the
    three districts have been prepared on the basis
    of their fertility indices and identified as
    suitable areas, moderately suitable areas,
    marginally suitable areas and non-suitable areas
    for maize. The overall suitability for maize of
    Kheda, Sabarkantha and Panchmahal districts were
    calculated as 68.53, 59.33 and 63.54,
    respectively.
  • The socio-economic constraints have been
    identified and suitable policy recommendations
    have been made.

3. Rain water conservation, harvesting and
recycling / recharging techniques for enhanced
productivity of Cotton based cropping system.
  • Selected six villages covering the area of
    Nareshwar Watershed on river Narmada in Karjan
    Taluka of Vadodara district.
  • In topo-sequence based cropping system cotton
    (70 area) upper toposequence, Soyabean (20)
    lower toposequence and green gram (10) with
    vegetative barrier and protective irrigation gave
    maximum gross returns.
  • In all the toposequences, in situ rainwater
    management with INM registered highest / at par
    main crop / intercrop yields and gross monetary
    returns. The lowest yields / returns were
    observed in farmer's practices with supplementary
    irrigation, this treatment can further improve
    yields / returns in same cases.
  • The treatment of In-situ moisture conservation
    with INM registered net monitory return of
    Rs.29,056/ha as against minimum (Rs.18,126/-)
    with farmers practices irrespective of ridge
    levels.

4. Improving Cotton Productivity in salt affected
soils through identification of Species and
genotypes through farmers participation
  • The experimental sites were selected (Devalia of
    Lakhtar taluka in Surendranagar district) based
    on ESP levels (20-25, 25-30, 30-35 and 35-40)
  • Upon evaluation of all four species of cotton,
    arboreum and herbaceum genotypes were at par with
    respect to germinability and seed cotton yield
    under different salinity regimes and were
    significantly superior over hirsutum and
    barbadense. Arboreum is found to be more abiotic
    tolerant.

1. Sustainable high milk production of
indigenous crossbred cattle and buffaloes in
rural house hold under Sugarcane based production
system
  • Districts covered Vadodara, Surat and Navsari
  • Animals accepted and consumed larger quantity of
    green sugarcane top - 15 to 28 kg per day (5.83
    V/s 3.07 kg DMI)
  • Results
  • Effective utilization of sugarcane to reduce feed
    cost
  • Increased milk production (3.16 )
  • Good Health Status

15
2. Improving Reproductive Efficiency of Cattle
and Buffaloes
  • Breedable Surti buffaloes in Gujarat 22.5 lakh
  • Prevention of post partum anoestrous and
    sub-estrous conditions in buffaloes and
    diagnostics as well as therapeutic measures to
    over come ovulatory dysfunctions in augmenting
    fertility in cattle have been the major
    objectives of the project
  • If 10 adoption of the technology for 2.20 lakh
    breedable buffaloes, advantage _at_ Rs.2000/- per
    animal per lactation, the total benefit of the
    technology can be estimated at approximately
    Rs.44 crores annually

16
3. Post Harvest Management of Mango and Sapota
Fruits
  • Tractor mounted Hydraulic Platform and Grading
    Machine were designed, developed and evaluated
  • Reduced Harvest Losses to the tune of 6 in
    mango and 10 in Sapota
  • Revenue Earne/ha Rs.28,33100
  • Grading and packaging methods - developed for
    invading market through effective marketing of
    Kesar Mango on the lines parallel to Alphanso.

1. Small Farm Rural Poultry
  • Back yard rural poultry - an integral part of
    mixed farming among rural farmers
  • 14352 reared chicks of native crossbreds were
    supplied to 769 farmers of nearby 13-19 villages
    in Anand district
  • Body weight, age at first egg, Egg weight and Egg
    Production of individual birds and native
    cross-breeds were determined

20
Small Farm Rural Poultry cont
  • The overall cost benefit ratio (Rs.) for various
    native crossbreds
  • 13.55 (year 2002-03) to 14.98 (year 2000-01).
  • Parent stock of various breeds established at
    Anand centre
  • CARI Red
  • Aseel Pila
  • Aseel Kala
  • Kadaknath
  • Frizzle

2. Development of techniques for management of
gypsiferous and impeded soils of arid areas
  • Programme was implemented at Arnej and Targhadia
    with a view to develop suitable silvi
    horticultural component for managing Gypsiferous
    soils under Arid Tropics
  • Pit planting and application of FYM as soil
    amendment increase survival rate (85) of Silvi
    and/or Horticultural species under Bhal and
    Coastal area and North Saurashtra Agro-climatic
    Region for managing Gypsiferous soils

22
Suggestions
  • Use of Hybrids along with package of practices in
    case of Bajra, Pigeonpea, Cotton and Castor
    enhanced the productivity in the region. However,
    missionary approach has to be made for
    dissemination of technologies through extension
    agency for participatory programmes
  • Programme on developing Seed Certification
    Protocols for management of seed transmitted
    viral diseases be continued further for seed
    health certification and for possible commercial
    venture
  • Effective monitoring of urban and industrial
    effluents and judicious use of sewage water need
    to be attended to on war footing by line
    departments for eliminating/minimizing heavy
    metal toxicants, eco-friendly environment and
    sustainable agriculture in the influenced area

23
Suggestions cont
  • Rainwater Management on Watershed basis, INM,
    IPDM, improved crop and its varieties, Maize
    Cropping system proved to be highly sustainable
    under rainfed agro-eco-system
  • Inter-cropping in cereals (Bajra, Maize), Pulses
    (Pigeonpea), Fruit crops (Mango Kesar) INM in
    cereals, pulses, fruits and vegetables moisture
    conservation practices enhance yield levels and
    area coverage
  • Evaluation of cotton species and its genotypes
    revealed that Arboreum has latent potential under
    saline shallow soil with medium rainfall (mm). R D support required for exploiting
    Arboreum genotypes for such a situation on much
    wider scale

24
Suggestions cont
  • The utility of Bantamised white leghorn study
    indicated that three more generation would be
    required for detailed study. Male line generated
    is required to be tested for its nickability with
    other available female parent lines
  • Participatory research programme on farmers
    fields need to be taken up at village level in
    mission mode so as to disseminate technologies
    with proven economical advantages over
    traditional one

25
Suggestions cont
  • Strategies for crop diversification for
    sustainability of Agro-eco-system of the region
    is a must for wider and rapid dissemination of
    technologies
  • For effective evaluation of technologies and
    package of practices it is suggested to have
    village level co-operatives for prioritization of
    the same. Financial support to this effect be
    given to such co-operatives
  • Training to SMS/Farmers should be given priority
    for dissemination of technology and better
    advantage to farmers
  • HRD to scientific personnel for advanced
    technology in the country and outside the country
    required to be given due weightage for expertise
    in the area

27
Important Areas for Work in Phase-II Besides
continuing of Project
  • Tribal areas in Anand Agricultural University
    covers districts of Dahod, Panchmahal, Vadodara
    (five talukas) grows mainly drilled rice, maize,
    hill millets and pigeonpea in Kharif and gram in
    rabi. The improved technologies of different
    crops to raise their socio-economic status needs
    to be disseminated in the area. Besides, R D
    supports for the crops grown in the area is also
    required
  • Soil salinity and alkalinity poses serious
    problems for harvesting higher yield besides
    brackish underground water in Bhal areas of
    Ahmedabad district. Soil is having poor drainage
    hence water logging during monsoon especially
    heavy rain ruin kharif crop. Only one season
    cropping is being followed i.e. either cotton in
    kharif or wheat/gram in rabi. The R D as well
    as technology propogation required to be done
    with proper support
  • Women play a major role in dairy animal
    management. Women have their own dairy
    cooperative societies in villages. There is an
    urgent need to provide training to farm women in
    livestock farming. Important research areas are
    on Animal Nutrition, Reproductive Biology, Bull
    Mother Farm including Embryo Transfer Technology,
    Poultry and Kankrej Farm.

28
Important Areas for Work in Phase-II Besides
continuing of Project cont..
  • University
  • B. A. College of Agriculture
  • College of Veterinary Science Animal Husbandry
  • SMC College of Dairy Science
  • Colleges played important role in HRD development
  • Need to strengthen HRD programmes under this
    university.

29
Important Areas for Work in Phase-II Besides
continuing of Project cont..
  • Research and training on hybrid seed production
    to harvest the advantage of hybrid varieties in
    rural areas needs to be intensified.
  • Land use planning under watershed management.
  • Popularization of tissue culture, and
    biotechnological advances for important crops to
    be disseminated. On cooperative basis
    establishment of tissue culture laboratory and
    training would provide material at village level.

30
Important Areas for Work in Phase-II Besides
continuing of Project cont..
  • Natural Resource Management particularly soil
    health be given priority.
  • Integrated Farming.
  • Value addition of important crops (Rice, Maize,
    Pulses, Vegetables, Horticultural crops, Rainfed
    Wheat).
  • Areas near by Cambay sea, salinity is major
    problem, also inland salinity has increased due
    to use of brackish water which has not only
    reduced yield but ruin soil physico
    characteristics. The dissemination of research
    technology needs to be intensified for this harsh
    areas.

31
