2.2. Description of Agro-climatic Zone & major agro ecological situations (based on soil and topography)

a) Soil type & TopographySl. No. Agro-climatic Zone Characteristics1 Assured rainfall zone The whole district except tehasil Warud and eastern part of tehasil Tiwasa and Chandur

railway fall within this zone about 81% area is under this zone.

The annual precipitation varies from 800 to 900mm; however it exceeds often in hilly Melghat tract of this zone.

More than 75% rainfall, in this zone is received in kharif season and hence, the kharif cropping system predominates in the zone.

The climate is usually hot and dry. Dharani, Chikhaldara, Daryapur, Anjangaon surji, Bhatkuli, Amravati, Nanadgaon kh.,Achalpur, Chandur bazar, a little part of Morshi and western part of Tiwasa and Chandur raily tehasil are included in this zone.

The area wise characters of soil and the prevalent cropping pattern is furnished below.

An area of tehasil Dharani and Chikhaldara in this zone is hilly and occupied mountain Satpura, popularly known as “Melghat range”. Land is extremely sloppy. Soils are very shallow to shallow. Forest occupies substantial area in these tehasils. Kharif sorghum, soybean, minor millets or and rice in same patches are the important crops of this region. The area is inhibited by tribal farmers. This tract gives good scope for development of dry land horticulture and forage crops.

The soils in tehasil Achalpur,Chandur bazar, Morshi, Amravati and Nandgaon khandeshwar

5

are moderate to deep and predominantly vertisols and with situation of ill drainage and crop suffering from more of wet condition, during the year of relatively higher rains. Irrigation management in these soils posses some problems. Cotton predominates over sorghum. Other crops grown are soybean, red gram, green gram, black gram, etc in kharif season and wheat and Bengal gram are the rabi crops, wherever irrigation water is available.

The soils in Bhatkuli, Daryapur, Southern part of Anjangaon surji tehasil are vertisoil, deep and saline to saline alkali in reaction. Open well in tract have saline water, as result of which, the same cannot be utilized for irrigation purposes. Cotton, Soybean, Sorghum, , red gram, green gram & black gram are the major crops of the tract together with rain fed Wheat, Bengal gram and Sunflower during rabi season. Poor drainage during rainy season is rampant. Fields respectively plain.

The soils is western part of Tiwasa and Chandur railway tehasil are predominantly shallow to moderately deep with equal proportion of vertisols, entisols and inceptisols. Land is rolling and slop. In this area also cotton predominates sorghum. Soybean is making its place in the cropping system. Pulses and groundnut are the mportant crops of the region.

2 Moderate to moderately high rainfall zone :

Total Warud tehasil, part of Morshi and eastern part of Tiwasa and Chandur railway tehasil are included in this zone.

The average rainfall received in this tract usually exceeds 900mm. The climate is hot and dry.18.93% area of the district falls under this zone.

The soils in this area are moderate to deep having orange dominating cropping system, either on command or dug well irrigation with seasonal vegetables and also field crops like cotton, sorghum, soybean, red gram in kharif and mostly irrigated wheat in Rabi season.

- 450C, Minimum 10– 200C,

Farming Situation : Rainfed , Resource conservation

6 Performance of the Technology with performance indicators: The mean maximum soybean yield (13.90 q/ha) recorded in

treatment T1 and minimum (11.22 q/ha) under T2 . Yield of soybean increased due to use of Hydrogel over farmer practices .

Higher yield in T2 was supported by yield contributing character such as number of pods and test weight . It is also observed that

Plant stand found more in treatment T2 which is also became yield supporting factor for increasing yield of soybean..

Yield of soybean increased due to use of Hydrogel but gross cost is also increased due to use of hydrogel (Rs. 25100/ha) in T2

than T1 (Rs.21600/ha). Increased in gross cost affect B: C ratio and hence B: C ratio not increased to much in T2 even the yield of

soybean increased in treatment T2 .

7. Feedback, matrix scoring of various technology parameters done through farmer’s participation / other scoring

techniques : Use of hydrogel helpful to increase yield and reduce moisture stress in soybean crop at its critical stages .

8 Final recommendation for micro level situation : Hydrogel is useful for reducing stress of water and its effect on increase in

yield of soybean

9 Constraints identified and feedback for research: While implementation of OFT on pusa hydrogel farmers are not getting

visible result and due to that farmers get confused about the benefits of this technology.

7. Feedback, matrix scoring of various technology parameters done through farmer’s participation / other scoring techniques 8 Final recommendation for micro level situation-. The survey was conducted in the month of April, 2016. Kara village, Tal. Dharni was selected for conducting programmes on the basis of the survey. It was observed that protein energy malnutrition (PEM) is the most widely prevalent form of malnutrition among tribal toddler due to nutritional deficiency & low body weight. Hence OFT Assessment on that topic was undertaken. Before implementation of this OFT 10 tribal toddler for T1 & 10 tribal toddler for T2 were selected by taking tribal toddler health checking camp & group discussion. They were explained about the technology to be given for children of farm women. Before conducting the Assessment programme health checkup camp for pre-school children was conducted. During the Health camp firstly tribal toddler body weight (kg) & height (cm) were observed .The health status of all children was taken & recorded into account by the scientist. A thorough Discussion with their parents about their eating habits, eating amounts, body cleanliness & overall physical development was done..

9 Constraints identified and feedback for research-. Consumption of protein rich food at village level in pre-school children is quite less hence 35% tribal toddlers suffer from moderate degree of under nutrition. Nutritional interventions were given (supplied supplementary food) counseling is necessary & should be a part of treatment in order to prevent mal-nutrition. Hence nutritionally superior supplementary food which is a rich source of calcium & protein can be promoted in the regular diet through value addition as it is locally and easily available This food technology is nutritious and made from locally available cereal & pulses. this indeed curbs down its cost which makes it pocket friendly for the farmers. Method of preparation of supplementary food is very easy is to make.10 Process of farmers participation and their reaction-- Children were not given a specific diet at all, the diet of the elderly was given to the infant in small proportion and readymade food such as puffed rice role and flakes were given to them. After introducing instant mix cereals to children which were made from their farm produce. Preparation of supplementary food is very easy & very tasty. All required raw materials are available at village level.

7. Feedback, matrix scoring of various technology parameters done through farmer’s participation / other scoring Techniques- There is less risk of spoilage because of the speed of drying. The quality of the product is better in terms of nutrition, hygiene and color

8 Final recommendation for micro level situation-Village Kara, Tal. Dharni t was observed that 1)The dried product is often of poor quality as a result of grit and dirt

9 Constraints identified and feedback for research- Consumption of vegetable & fruits in all season is very difficult because of climatic condition at village level. The product is protected against flies, pests, rain & duct. All the materials are easily available at local level & Method of preparation of drying food is very easy & requires short duration. Farm women understood the preparation & importance of solar dryer. Drying is faster because inside the dryer it is warmer than outside given nutritional point of view interventions and counselling should be a part of treatment in order to prevent nutritional deficiencies. This Technology shall be made more low cost so that farmers can afford it. Hence nutritionally superior food which is rich source of vitamins & best quality of food can be included in the regular diet through value addition as it is locally and easily accessible

10 Process of farmers participation and their reaction Due to continuous rainfall of four months availability of important vegetables, Food grains & other edible items is not possible. No construction of wall compound around the entire house therefore no safe and hygienic place to dry the edibles. Only few vegetable are dried for consumption. The product is made by traditional method which is often unhygienic as a result of microorganism and insect such as files that are developed in short period. It often becomes of poor quality as a result of grit and dirt.The solar dryer introduced by scientist requires less space and can accommodate more items at a time does not require someone to watch over. It can be kept anywhere in the house as it is small. All the materials are easily available at local level & Method of preparation of drying food is very easy & requires very small place. It can be made from locally available bamboo, if introduced with low cost, it can be popular.. The product is protected again flies, pests, rain & duct.It is labour saving the product can be left in the dryer overnight or during rain.

The area varies with availability of irrigation water in summer season. Demand of higher wages & non availability of labour were observed during harvesting&threshing operations of G.N.Some of the labours are migrated temporarily from the nearby villages during this period. Output is seen very low. More Field losses / theft occurs. This results in low yield & low net income.So farmers want to strip the pods immediately after harvest to avoid this losses..The assessement was undertaken on the thematic area drudgery reduction.

6 Performance of the Technology with performance indicators- It was found that four women workers could strip an average quantity of 95 Kg pods in a period of one hour by the groundnut stripper i.e.23.75kg/hr/women worker.But it was also noted that the root portion was attached to about 9 % pods stripped by the groundnut stripper & some extra time of 20 minutes was required to four women worker for cleaning the pods.

Title of Technology Assessed : Management of white fly in BT. cotton

A Problem Definition BT. cotton is the most important cash crop grown in the village Amala Tq.Chandur Rly. But due to the attack of certain sucking pests like Jassids, White fly, and mealy bugs and diseases like dahiya,bacterial blight ,the productivity of cotton is decreases. Heavy infestation of sucking pest at early stages of crop growth results into heavy losses in yield and the growth of the crop remain stunted and also affect the reproductive stage. For the management of the sucking pest, farmers applied 4-5 sprays of costly and hazardous pesticides. But despite of getting good management, which creates number of problems .Now a day’s sucking pest like white fly and jassids are the major problems in Bt, cotton, which tends to causes heavy losses in yield in cotton crop and day by day the problem is increasing. Last year the attack of white fly and Jassids was more.

Title of Technology Assessed : Management of stem fly in Soybean

A Problem Definition Soybean is a major crop grown in all AES of Amravati district and day by day the area under this crop was increasing. But the productivity of soybean crop is low mainly due to abiotic and bioticStresses like drought, weeds, insect pests and diseases. Soybean attracts many insect pests which often pose serious threats to its production by increasing cost of cultivation. Among them, stem fly, Melanagromyza sojae is a major problem in soybean which tremendously reduced the yield of soybean crop during last 2 years in some areas of the district. It is known for its destructive nature by feeding on pith of the stem of young seedlings of soybean crop. The impact of damage is more severe in determinate short duration varieties which are cultivated in poor soils under rain fed situation. During Last year in Nandgaon and Chandur Rly tahsils of the district the soybean crop is heavily damaged by stem fly. So the yield of soybean in this area was drastically reduced and farmers suffer from more economic losses.

We got the knowledge about what insecticides should be used and stop the use of cocktails of two or more insecticides.If we spray the crop from 50 % flowering stage we will definitely effectively manage the infestation of the pod borersFrom this demonstration we came to know that the pest could be managed effectively only at proper stage of the pest.

15 SoybeanThe sprays suggested under the trial effectively manage the infestation of the girdle beetle. Due to this demonstration we came to know that the spraying should undertake at proper stage of the pest.Before most of the farmers were never seen or observe the damage of this pest .Due to the training and field visits conducted under this trial we come to know that if the infestation of girdle beetle occurs when crop is at one and half or two months age, such infested crop looks like normal crop, but can’t observe the damage, the damage only seen after the drying of the branches. So farmers suffer from the economic losses.

16 Okra Due to demonstration we got the knowledge about the various life stages of the pest, and at what life stage of the pest it can be managed effectively.Also got the knowledge of application of insecticides, before most of the farmers used mixtures of two or more insecticides.The installation of yellow sticky traps effectively helps to keep white fly and jassids population under control condition.The number of sprays for control of white fly and jassids was reduced.

17 Bengal gramDue to demonstration we realize that we can reduce the cost on plant protection with effective pest management We came to know that at what stage spraying should be done for effective management of pest.

18 Soybean (TSP)Due to technology demonstrated we come to know that at what time and which insecticides should use for the management of girdle beetle and stem fly in soybean crop.

19 Bengal gram(TSP)The demonstrated technology effectively manage the pod borer infestation in Bengal gram.cost of spraying is reduced.

To promote value addition to rice, farm produce of tribal farmers, the KVK. decided to give the Mobile Rice mill in yr.2016-17.to the farmers group under the supervision of Vice sarpanch of kara shri Maroti Kisan Gayan. With an outlay of Rs 40,000, the KVK approached Padgilwar Corporation – a farm equipment manufacturer that has been working with small farmers in Maharashtra for over 60 years,purchased the machine under TSP Fund.It is a small-scale rice mill that can be transported easily from village to village, and run on basic electricity. It was tested at Govt. Of Jharkhand,Jharkhand Agriculture machinery Testing & Training Centre Po. HEHAL Distt. Ranchi by Padgilwar group.For implementation, the KVK scientist conducted the training cum demonstration programmes on milling, exposure visit at different places, group discussions.etc for the benefit of villegers. During programmes, the knowledge about the cost economics and marketing scope,the information related to requirement of fixed and running assets, selection and availability of raw materials, quality of finished products, preparation process etc.were given to group & other villegers.

Impact-The technology spread one near by village named as Nanduri .From both villages Kara & mnanduri, total 15 poor farmers processed their paddy of about 25.30qt through the machine.Economic gains- Profit to Farmer from one qt paddy processedProcessing practice Rice obtained from 1qt

It saved time and money of tribal farmers.Nearby 2 villages farmers were benefitted.Farmers could sale their cleaned rice for Rs. 30 per Kg which was sold earlier at Rs. 25 per Kg. This increased their income substantially.It helped for the livelihood of Gayan family through self-employment.

Success Story No 3

Adoption Of New Variety Of Chickpea (Digvijay)

1. Background: Pulses are the integral part of many diets across the globe and they have great potential to improve the human health, conserve soil fertility, protect the environment and contribute to global food security. India is the largest producer, consumer and importer of the pulses in the world. Despite India being the largest producer (18.5 million tons) and processor of pulses in the world, also imports around 3.5 million tons annually on an average to meet its ever increasing consumption needs of around 22.0 million tons.Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) commonly known as gram or Bengal gram is the most important pulse

110

crop of India which alone has nearly 75 percent of the world acreage and production of Gram. Bengal gram is one of the important Rabi season pulse grown in Maharashtra state in general and Amravati district in particular. The Amravati district comprises of fourteen talukas taluks viz., Amravati , Chandur Bazar, Achalpur , Morshi, Teosa, Chandur ( R) , Dhamangaon Nandgaon Khandeswar, Ajangaon Surji ,Daryapur, Dharni , Chikhaldara, Bhatkuli and Warud . The cultivation of Bengal gram in rabi season is the special feature of Chandur (B) taluka of Amravati district , in which Soybean is the major kharif crop covering an area of 18454 ha During the year 2017 and Bengal gram is grown mainly during rabi season immediately after the harvest of the Soybean crop. These soils are usually highly fertile. Instead of leaving the fields fallow during the rabi season, farmers utilize the residual moisture in the soil to grow Bengal gram . Among the rabi crops Bengal gram, is poor man’s crop and has potential to sustain food and nutritional security of the small and marginal farmers because of its short duration, faster growth and high nutritive values. But the yield levels are much lower than the potential yield . The participatory rural appraisal study in the taluka reveals that the non availability of released variety having good potential yield in rabi season, farmers were cultivating the local variety of Bengal gram i.e Vijay (which seeds are small size ) which is low yielding, susceptible to wilt, and grown purely on rainfed situation. The local variety has lesser plant height, canopy spread and lower biomass production leads to lower yield. The local variety being duration of 100-105 days. These factors cause the poor yield thus reducing income of farmers Keeping in view, to identify the suitable variety of Bengal gram having good potential yield , Krishi Vigyan Kendra Ghatkhed conducted front line demonstration indentified the variety Digvijay (Phule G-9425-5) chickpea variety is derived by hybridization through pedigree selection method from a cross Phule G-91028 × Bheema. It has semi-spreading growth habit with medium bold seed size (24.0 g 100-1 seeds). The variety is resistant to Fusarium wilt having high yield potential (19 q/ha), By looking into its performance, KVK, Ghatkhed, Amravati intended to conduct demonstration during 2016 and after realizing the result during 2016. KVK Ghatkhed intended to popularize this variety. There is a need for varietal and seed replacement and application of best practices in farmer’s field for getting higher production

2. Intervention Process: The Krishi Vigyan Kendra Ghatkhed , conducted cluster front line demonstration (CFLD) under National Food Security Mission in Chandur (B) taluk to identify effect of improved Bengal gram variety Digvijay developed at ARS, Badnapur

3. Intervention Technology: To indentify effect of improved Bengal gram variety Digvijay CFLD were conducted in the area of 20 hectares on 50 selected farmer’s fields during 2016 after and 30 ha on 75 farmers field during 2017-18. The Chandur (B) taluk of Amravati district was selected for the demonstrations because of availability of larger area and potential for productivity . The Chandur (B) comes under AES II and it is characterized Plain topography Medium to deep soil Assured Rainfall. The demonstrations aimed to attain the food and nutritional security through three-fold technological interventions such as introduction of high yielding variety, transfer of improved production package (seed treatment with bio agents viz., rhizobium, trichoderma, PSB, 2 % DAP spray at flowering and pod initiation stage) and use of integrated pest management practices. These demonstrations were carried out in adopted villages viz., Jasapur , Asegaon and Govindpur . The first step after selection was the collection of soil samples from each demo plot and they were analyzed for the nutrient status. Based on the soil test report, fertilizers were applied. The critical inputs like seeds, bio agents for seed treatment and need based pesticides were provided to the farmers. The improved variety, Digvijay (Phule G-9425-5) along with local check variety Vijay was demonstrated in an area of 0.4 ha for comparison on 50 and 75 farmers fields during the year 2016 and 2017 respectively . The seeds of each variety were sown with seed-cum fertilizer drill to maintain uniform plant spacing. The KVK conducted on and off campus training programmes on improved Bengal gram production technology such as seed treatment with bioagents like rhizobium, trichoderma PSB and 2 % DAP spray at flowering and pod initiation stage. KVK scientists facilitated in performing the field operations like seed treatment, sowing, manuring, weeding, spraying, harvesting and post harvest handling activities. During the crop production pre-season meetings, regular field visits, training programmes, group discussions, farmer-scientist interaction and field days were conducted to enlighten the farmers about the benefits of the demonstrated technology. The yield was recorded and economics was worked out based on the current market price of inputs and produce.

4. Impact-Horizontal Spread: The improved variety Digvijay helped the farmers to attain the average yield of Bengal gram upto 23.59 q/ha . Also being resistant to witling and having bold seeded against to local variety. The positive attribute of Digvijay variety helped in the dissemination of technology in and around the chandur (B) Taluk. Out of 50 farmers involved in cluster FLD programme during 2016-17, 45 of them have sown this variety during 2017-18 rabi season in an area of 120 hectares. Further, under NFSM, KVK, Ghatkhed also undertaken on 30hectares area with 75 farmers during Rabi season of 2017-18 and in current year 2018-19

6. Impact-Economic Gains: The Digvijay variety, being resistant to wilt having bold seeded and having more test . it is observed from above table that yield level were increased by 23.57 % during the year 2017 and 18.29 % during the year 2016. It is also observed that Average gross return of demonstrated digvijay variety of Bengal gram (Rs. 95521/ha) and Average net return(Rs. 67346.72/ha) is more than Average gross return check variety of Bengal gram Vijay (Rs. 75272.5/ha) and Average net return (Rs. 51996.15/ha. This was possible because of the intensive capacity building programmes and various extension activities by KVK scientists. The adoption of new variety through intervention of Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Ghatkhed in cluster approach enhanced the productivity leading to sustainable income annually. This has not only resulted in socio-economic security but also helped in attaining food and nutrition security of the community along with the fodder requirement of farm animals. The awareness about improved technological practices, such as use of improved variety with resistant to pest and diseases, timely sowing, regular mechanical weeding, timely harvesting, post harvest handling could go a long way in bridging yield gap and also enhancing income of farmers. By popularizing these technologies additional area can be brought under cultivation..

7. Impact on Employment Generation: Besides the fodder economic gain by marketing of the produce, farmers have sols seed to other farmers and get more additional income of Rs. 6000/ha In these cluster villages by adopting the improved technologies socio-economic changes was noticed in many ways like improvement in standard of living, children’s education, health, status in the society, house renovation and land development activities was observed.

Brief report

10.1. Technical Feedback of the farmers about the technologies demonstrated and assessed:

2. Hydrogel is useful for increasing yield as well as quality of soybean but cost of Hydrogel is more3. Cycocel is helpful for reducing excessive growth of both crop and helpful for increasing yield of Soybean as well as Red

gram4. Urea and MgSo4useful for controlling reddening and increase yield of cotton5. Red gram Variety PKV TARA is suitable for area and help in increasing yield 6. Bengal gram variety of Digvijay is very good for area for increasing yield 7. Green gram Variety having long pod length which is useful for increasing yield of green gram

8. Portable paddy thresher-It performs good. Saved time & gave more output with negligible lossesIt is compact & easy for handling &can be used from field to field. It maintained the straw. It has a cleaning facility but Separate winnowing required

9. Mobile Rice Mill-a)It is the source of processing of paddy at farmers level. When required the money, they could process at their level & get the cleaned rice & sell it in local market.b)Farmers could sale their cleaned rice for Rs. 30 per Kg which was sold earlier at 20 to 25Rs./ Kg. This increased their income substantially. C)It helped for the livelihood of villagers through self-employment

10. Ground nut Stripper-a)It is useful for stripping by four women simultaneouslyb)Higher output i.e. kg of pods/day can be obtained as against kg in case of conventional strippingc)It is useful to reduce the cost of strippingd)Some more time(1min/kg) required for cleaning the pods stripped by stripper f)It minimizes stress at knee while stripping in sitting posture at ground level

11. Animal drawn stubbles collector-a)It makes the field clean by collecting the stubbles in one or two passes in very less time b)It required one labor and a bullock pair for operation . So this is time as well as labor saving equipment c)The stubbles which are stickled into the soil are easily collected by this stubble collector

12. Three row CRIDA Planter( BD)- a)3 row sowing /fertilising at a timeb)Row to Row spacing is adjustable from 9 to 18”c) Uniform seed to seed distance.d)Adjustable seed depth e)Saving obtained in labour, time & cost of operation

13. Hand operated Rotary maize sheller-a)The work strain is minimizedb)Zero damage to grainsc)Simple & safe to use.4)No cleaning of grains required.d)The chances of Injury to fingers are eliminated.Thus making the operation safer for workers

121

14. Spiral separator-a)It is very useful for cleaning & grading & for custom hiring at village level b)Easy for operating & handling c)Not required electricity d)It separates all the wastage material from the produce

10.2. Technical Feedback from the KVK Scientists (Subject wise) to the research institutions/universities:

1. Wilt is observed on PKV TARA so it should be fully wilt resistant 2. JS-9560 variety of Soybean is very good for increasing yield and for double cropping system but germination percentage is very low

and required 40 kg seed rate for optimum plant stand so we have scope to increase germination percentage for decreasing seed rate upto 30 kg/ha

3. Digvijay is very good variety for Amravati district suitable for irrigated condition but full grain formation problem occurred at the time of maturity . So there is scope for suggestion for complete grain filling to researcher

4. Ground nut Stripper-A small adjustable stool may be provide for the operator to sit and perform.It is not provid5. Animal drawn stubble collector-The standing wooden plate platform may be provide for standing the operator at the time of

operation for collecting all stubbles

1. Impact of Training Programme on farmers Knowledge and Adoption about Bengal gram Production Technology

Introduction: Historically India is the largest producer, consumer and importer of pulses. Pulses are a good and chief source

of protein for a majority of the population in India. Protein malnutrition is prevalent among men, women and children in India. Pulses contribute 11% of the total intake of proteins in India (Reddy, 2010). In India, frequency of pulses consumption is much higher than any other source of protein, which indicates the importance of pulses in their daily food habits. Keeping the cheapest source of protein, it is important to increase pulses production to increase balanced diet among the socially and economically backward classes.

One of the main tasks of Krishi Vigyan Kendra is to provide and improve the knowledge of the trainees about the improved farm practices, because knowledge is cognitive component of individual’s mind and plays an important role in covert as well as overt behaviour and individuals with a greater knowledge of technical nature of improved practices would lead to a high adoption. Lack of correct and inadequate knowledge leads to under or over adoption of innovation which proves fatal to the farming business.

Adoption is a process where succession of events in a sequence of time. Wilkening (1950) stated that the farmer’s decision for adoption of improved farm practices may be considered as a process in which he (a) hears about the practice, (b) discusses its advantages and disadvantages with other farmers or with experts, (c) makes the decision to adopt the practice and obtains the specific information necessary to carry out the practice. This process may occur over a period of time. Degree of adoption of any item of package may be of complete or full, partial and non-adoption. In this study, adoption means the degree of actual use of any recommended package of practices of Bengal gram crop

Krishi Vigyan Kendra imparted training and demonstration programmes at Tribal area of Amravati district under TSP, therefore a study was conducted to ascertain the level of knowledge and adoption of farmers with respect to Bengal gram production technologies due to training imparted by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Ghatkhed, Amravati

Attention was, therefore focused in this study to analyze as to what extent of the training programme affected the level of knowledge and extent of adoption of recommended package of practices on Bengal gram crops of its trainees. This involved the process of relating and judging the extent, the respondent was expected to ensure questions, which were posed in the test situation than the learning situation

Methodology: The study was carried out in three villages in tribal area of Dharni block of Amravati district viz, Kota, Kara,

Nanduri where most of the farmers were growing Bengal gram crop. After assessing the training needs, complete package of training programme on Bengal gram was given to Bengal gram growers in each village by the KVK. In order to measure the impact of the training programme the farmers were grouped as ‘trainees’ and ‘non-trainees’and a

124

random sample of 25 farmers from each group were drawn from three adopted villages of tribal area for testing their level of knowledge and extent of adoption by means of a well structured scheduled.

Result and DiscussionKnowledge level of respondents about Bengal gram crop: Data (Table1) shows that the trainees had high level of knowledge (80 %). In case of non-trainees, 20 % of respondents had high level, 28 % medium level and more than fifty percent i.e. 52 % had low level of knowledge. Thus we can conclude that Bengal gram grower’s trainees were having high level of knowledge than the non-trainees. Table 1: Distribution of respondents of Bengal gram crop

Adoption of Improved Practices in Bengal gram Crop: Table 2 shows that all the trainees were fully adopted the high yielding varieties of Bengal gram crop, followed by timely irrigation and time of harvesting (96 %), followed by the seed rate according to scientific recommendation (88 %) Whereas, non-trainees adopted 64 % high yielding varieties of Bengal gram crop, 76 % used timely harvesting followed by the timely irrigation 44 %, followed by 20 % who adopted the seed rate according to scientific recommendation.

Further, partially adopted practices by majority of trainees were control weeds in Bengal gram crops (48 %), used the organic manure (40%), used the chemical fertilizer as per recommendation (36 %), adopted plant protection measures 32 % followed by used the bio-fertilizers (28 %). Whereas, in the case of non-trainees partially adopted 8 % controlled weeds in Bengal gram crops, 28% used the organic manure, followed by 32 % used the chemical fertilizer and 64 % used plant protection measures. Only 4% of the non-trainees adopted used of bio-fertilizers.

Non-adoption of recommended practices by trainees were used of bio fertilizer (56 %), seed treatment (48 %) followed by use of organic manure (24 %), whereas in case of non-trainees, non-adoption of recommended technologies were 96 % used of bio fertilizer, and seed treatment, followed by used of organic manure (64%).

Adoption of Improved Practices in Bengal gram Crop: Data (Table3) shows that Most of the trainees (84%) had higher level of adoption followed by medium level (16%), whereas, most of the non-trainees have had medium level of adoption (64%) followed by low level of adoption (32%). It shows that trainees were having higher level of adoption of recommended package of practices than the non-trainees

It was also found that calculated value of? 2 was 33.38 and calculated value of‘t’ was 11.28 bothwere significant at 1% level of significance. Hence, null hypothesis was not accepted and alternate hypothesis was accepted. It means that there is significant difference between trainees and non-trainees regarding the extent of adoption of package of practices of Bengal gram crop. It shows that Bengalgram trainees had higher level of adoption of recommended package of practices as also higher mean scores than the non-trainees.

CONCLUSION

It is concluded that KVK is able to bring significant changes in the level of knowledge and adoption of Bengal gram production technologies among trainees in tribal area. Training and guidance given to trainees have played prime role in influencing technological changes, besides management orientation. Therefore, there is need give thrust of these factors with suitable changes in training curriculum and time by the scientists for fulfilling the objective of KVK training programmes.

2. Constraints Faced by Farmers in Adoption of Bio-fertilizers in Tribal area

Introduction:

The tribal dominated area (Melghat area) in Amravati district has mainly divided into two Talukas one is Dharni and another is Chikhaldara & comes under tribal sub plan. As per 2011 census the tribal population was 13.98 percent in the district. In Dharni & Chikhaldara the tribal population is 142191 and 91206 respectively. Both the tahasils are having maximum number of tribal population. According to 2011 census, the tribal population is 80 percent in Dharni tahasil while it is 78 percent in Chikhaldara tahsil. The combined area of Dharni & Chikhaldara tahsil is generally known as Melghat Region. In this region tribal population to total population is 77 percent.

The major tribes viz. Gonds, Nihals and Mongias. Balais, Vanjaris, Gaolies, etc are resident in the Melghat area. In language and general type they are said to be identical with the Kols and Santals. Their common language is Korku but Hindi is also commonly spoken among them. Korku language belongs to Munda stock of aboriginal language.

Agriculture production depends upon availability and use of quality and quantity of farm inputs. The chemical fertilizers are supposed to be essential inputs for boosting up of production of hybrids and high yielding crop varieties. It has played a significant role in increasing agricultural production in the country since ‘Green Revolution’. The continuous use of chemical fertilizers however, has deteriorated the soil fertility, destroyed soil microbial activity, disturbed environmental balance and ecological soundness. This therefore, indicates a dire need to use such fertilizers that are eco-friendly, maintain soil fertility and increase crop production. Bio fertilizers, most of which are nitrogen fixing microorganisms, are considered to be suitable alternative source of plant nutrition.

Now maximum farmers in the world are aware about the dangerous effects of chemicals on human being. Hence, there is increasing demand for organic foods. Therefore, there is a need of certain supplements to the chemical fertilizers with organic manures. In this case, bio-fertilizers can play a significant role in improving soil condition and agricultural production. Socio-economic condition of tribal people is very poor. Small landholders have been acquired their lands. Due to non adoption of improved cultivation practices in crops resulting low yields and use of bio fertilizer

127

used played a vital role to improving the productivity in oilseeds & pulses but majority farmers in tribal area do not use bio-fertilizers

Hence, present study was undertaken with the objectives to study of the constraints faced by the farmers in adoption of bio-fertilizers.

Methodology

KVK had adopted villages in tribal area of Amravati District under Tribal Sub plan and conducted various programmes for improving the productivity of oilseeds & pulses. The present study was carried out in KVK adopted villages in Dharni Taluka of Amravati district. 50 farmers were selected by random sampling method from the KVK adopted villages in tribal dominated area. On the basis of the objectives of study, and exhaustive interview schedule was designed and data were collected from these farmers by personal interview method.

For the present study, constraints refer to problems and difficulties faced by the farmers during the adoption of bio fertilizers. Efforts were made to identify the constraints faced by farmers in actual use of bio fertilizers. The farmers were asked to indicate the difficulties they have encountered, regarding the various aspects connected with the use of bio fertilizers such as technical constraints, economic constraints, Constraints related to input service supply and other constraints. The difficulties reported by the farmers were listed out then frequencies and percentage to each were worked out and the rank was given to the each constraint based on the frequencies.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

The problems faced by the farmer in use of bio fertilizers were collected and depicted in Table 1.

It is seen from the distribution in Table 1, that in case of technical constraints, nearly majority of the respondents (86.00%) reported that lack of knowledge about bio fertilizers, followed by non availability of bio fertilizer (84.00%) and lack of guidance at proper time (64.00%). The meagre per cent of respondent (24.00%) faced problem of Lack of skill about bio fertilizers treatment and use.

In case of economic constraints, majority of respondents (28.00%) reported the lack of Lack of money at time, followed by Labour charges (26.00%).

In case of Constraints related to input service supply 38.00 percent of the respondent faced the problem of unavailability of suitable bio fertilizer. In case of other (32.00%) respondents reported Lack of interest about use of bio fertilizer followed by complicated method (30.00%) and more than half i.e (56.00 %) of the respondents reported Lack of confidence towards various bio fertilizers practices as constraints.

This brings out that the important constraints in use of bio fertilizers faced by the farmers were Lack of knowledge about Bio fertilizers, Non availability of bio fertilizers, Lack of guidance at proper time and Lack of confidence towards various bio fertilizers practices.

It is obvious to pointed out that there is a need increase knowledge level of farmers on use of bio fertilizers by organizing training programmes, guest lectures, method and result demonstration and kisan melavas.

CONCLUSION

The study revealed that a great majority of respondents (86.00%) reported the Lack of knowledge about Bio fertilizers. (84.00%) respondents reported that Non availability of bio fertilizers, followed by Lack of guidance at proper time (64.00%) and more than half of the respondents reported that Lack of confidence towards various bio fertilizers practices. It is therefore, advisable that the extension agency should increase knowledge level of farmers on use of bio fertilizers by organizing training programmes, guest lectures, method and result demonstration and kisan melavas.

3. Primary Processing machine ( Spiral Separator)

Situation analysis/Problem statement:The tribal dominated area (Melghat area) in Amravati district has mainly divided into two Talukas one is Dharni and another is Chikhaldara. The combined area of Dharni & Chikhaldara tahsil is generally known as Melghat Region. Socio-economic condition of tribal people is very poor. Small landholders have been acquired their lands.They are not aware about the use of improved machinery in all farm operations, resulting low yields & low net income. Farmers in KVK adopted villages of tribal area having no advanced facilities available for primary processing at village level. They required more time, labour & cost of operation for cleaning,grading & destoning by applying the traditional practice manually by hand sieves or by winnowing. Not aware about usefulness and economic utility of improved &

129

drudgery reduction machines for cleaning & grading which is run without electricity.Due to poor buying capacity of farmers,they could not able to purchase the machine on their own cost.

Plan, Implement and Support:To tackle the problems, plan the programme for 1)Promotion of primary processing machine i.e. Spiral Separator for saving labour, time cost of operations & drudgery by creating awareness amongst them about usefulness and economic utility through training cum demonstrations2)To motivate the farmers towards mechanization on cost hiring basis and earn a substantial return by developing processing facilities at rural level to process the farm produce 3)To get feedback from the farmers.For implementation of the programme, Five interested farmers groups from four villages viz. Kara, Nanduri, Jambhu & Kotha in Dharni Block were selected. Five Machines( Spiral Separators) were facilitated in the form of critical inputs to each farmers groups with the financial support under TSP & conducted training, FLD programmes in the selected villages. Extention activities like as Kisan Ghosti, diagnostic field visit, farmer and scientist interfaces in different farm operations stages were conducted in adopted villages The extension literature also distributed to the farmers at the time of training. The training area was Use of spiral Separator for cleaning, grading. Output: Under the scheme of TSP,five farmers/Farm womengroups of 4 villages i.e. Kara,Kotha,Jambhu & Nanduri tq. Dharni created physical assets of Primary Processing at village level. In yr.2016-17& 2017-18 the farm produce of 192 qt handled by 99 farmers from village Kara,Kotha Jambhu & Nanduri Tq. Dharni for cleaning & grading by saving 29 to 30 Rs/qt. The machines were useful at village level. Outcomes: Advanced facility is available for primary processing at village levelImpact: 1) Awareness are created about usefulness and economic utility of improved machines for cleaning & grading amongst the farmers 2) Drudgery is reduced in the operation
