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

No

Agro-climatic

Zone Characteristics

1 High Hills

Temperate Dry

Zone

The entire district (East longitude 7646’29” to 7841’34”, North latitude 3144’57” to 3559’53”) falls under

the High Hills Temperate Dry Zone of Himachal Pradesh. The area is snow bound from November to March

and is characterized with very low rainfall (about 250 mm). The soil of the zone is sandy loam with low

fertility status and almost all the crops respond to the application of Nitrogen and Phosphorus. No crop can be

raised without assured supply of irrigation water. Crops are raised on sloping fields. Major problem of the area

is soil erosion and water management. Most of the area is prone to glaciers and the top soil is removed every

year through glaciers. The major crops grown in the area are pea, potato, barley, hops, buckwheat, temperate

vegetables, oat, kuth and manu etc. Of late apple cultivation has caught the fancy of farmers with area under it

increasing at a rapid pace.

Agro ecological

situation Characteristics

2 AES - 1 This situation lies between elevations of 2501 – 3250m amsl. This zone comprises of parts of Udaipur and

Keylong sub divisions. The majority of the area of this zone is having sloping land. The landforms are mid

hills to low hills. The soils are shallow in depth and the majority of the soils are light textured (Sandy loam).

Major crops grown are pea, potato, barley buckwheat, kuth, hops and temperate vegetables. Apple and other

temperate fruits are also grown in this zone.

AES - 2 The elevation of this AES lies between 3251 – 4250 m amsl. This zone comprises parts of Udaipur, Keylong

and Kaza sub divisions. The soils are shallow in depth and sandy loam in texture. There is only one crop

season from May – September. The area is suitable for quality potato seed, pea and temperate vegetables.

Other crops grown are barley and buckwheat.

AES - 3 AES – 3 lies above an elevation of 4251 m amsl. This zone comprises parts of Udaipur, Keylong and Kaza sub

divisions. The majority of the soils of this AES are light textured and unconsolidated sands and pebbles. The

area is suitable for cultivation of pea and barley.

2.3 Soil type/s S. No Soil type Characteristics Area in ha

1 Sandy to

sandy loam

In general, soils of the district are sandy to sandy loam in texture and neutral to alkaline

in reaction and low in fertility. While the soils in Lahaul valley, in some parts, are loam

to clay loam with abundance of gravel and rich in fertility, in Spiti valley these are silty

loam in texture and neutral to alkaline in reaction with low water holding capacity. These

soils are low in nitrogen and medium to high in phosphorus and potassium. The soil

strata are loose in both the valleys. The water holding capacity also varies from poor to

medium. These soils are prone to erosion due to cultivation on steep slopes, splashing

floods, flow irrigation and overgrazing.

5 Production system and thematic area Irrigated cash crop mono - cropping

6 Performance of the Technology with performance indicators Varietal Evaluation



Highest incidence of disease (Late and early blight) was recorded in the existing popular variety (Kufri Jyoti) while it was lowest in Kufri Himalini. The highest tuber yield was obtained from Kufri Himalini followed by Kufri Giriraj, Kufri Girdhari and Kufri Jyoti in that order; the last named variety gave lowest tuber yield.

8 Final recommendation for micro level situation Kufri Himalini can be recommended for cultivation in the Pattan Valley of the district though it needs to be tested for other areas/ valleys.

9 Constraints identified and feedback for research i) Non – availability of the seed of the newly released varieties

ii) High yielding disease resistant variety should be developed and released at the earliest

10 Process of farmer’s participation and their reaction The OFT was planned on the demand of the farmers of the area who wanted to change the existing varieties of

Kufri Jyoti and Kufri Chandermukhi but were ignorant about the new varieties that can replace them. The farmers

were actively involved in the regular monitoring of the trial and were satisfied with the performance of Kufri

Himalini and Kufri Giriraj varieties and also gave regular feedback about different parameters

Success Stories/ Case Studies 1:

Title:

Introduction of high yielding Toria as second crop after harvesting of pea crop in Lahaul valley

Introduction:

The cropping season is only six months and the farmers were taking only one crop and in some areas after pea a short

duration very low yielding strain Younger was being taken. A need was field to introduce a high yielding strain of mustard

which was able to mature in 65-70 days period and could be taken after pea crop

KVK Intervention:

The KVK introduced high yielding short duration (65-70 days) mustard genotype (Bhawani) suitable for cultivation after

pea in Pattan valley of Lahaul.

Output:

The local Younger variety was giving only 2-3 q/ha yield whereas the introduced Bhawani variety of Toria was able to

yield 6-7 q/ha.

Outcome:

As compared to previous year 100% cropping intensity in selected area in Pattan valley it has now increased to 200per

cent.

Impact:

An area of about 75 ha. has been brought under the practice of pea followed by Toria variety (Bhawani) with an

additional returns of Rs 45,000 to Rs 48,000.


Title:

Introduction of Red American Race of Vermiculture

Introduction:

Vermicompost has been found to be a very good source of balanced nutrition for plants in resource poor regions of

Lahaul & Spiti where availability of biomass is a problem.

KVK Intervention:

KVK, Kukumseri established one vermicompost units in 2008 with promising race of earthworms, Eisinia foetida. The

culture was multiplied at the demonstration unit. The centre has popularized the vermicomposting technology among the farmers

of Lahaul and Spiti District through trainings, awareness programmes and demonstrations. KVK, Lahaul & Spiti st Kukumseri has

established more than 200 vermicomposting units in 2010 and more than 100 units in 2011 at various locations. The farmers are

multiplying the vermiculture at their fields & distributing among other farmers, thus helping in horizontal expansion of the

technology.

78

APR 2013-14

Output:

The farmers have started producing their own Vermicompost and using in horticulture and vegetable crops.

Outcome:

Previously the farmers were using compost which was low in nutrients and heavy doses were required to meet the crop

requirements.

Impact:

With the production of Vermicompost, the farmers have started growing off season vegetables cultivation including

exotic vegetables as well as fruits.

10.D. Give details of innovative methodology or innovative technology of Transfer of Technology developed

and used during the year.

The root rot complex is the major problem in the cash crop of peas in valley. Seed treatment can reduce the intensity

of this problem The KVK through demonstrations /OFTs and trainings has popularized this technology and a very

good response has been found at field level.

Previously only one crop of peas was taken in cropping season .The KVK has promoted the cultivation of high

yielding variety of Toria (Bhawani) and Oats (Palampur 1)for cultivation after peas. About 206 ha has come under

peas-toria and peas oats cultivation thereby increasing the cropping intensity and the returns per unit area.

As labour is very scarce in season and the weeds control manually account for the major cost of cultivation. The KVK

has promoted the use of herbicides in vegetables, peas, potato through OFTs /demonstrations and trainings. In valley

now farmers has started use of herbicides and an area of around 27 hectare has come under these.

As potato is the major cash crop of valley and with climate change the late blight has also taken very serious place in

reduced production of this crop. With different new strains coming a major initiative has been undertaken for control

the spread of this disease. The demonstrations, survey and advisories are given in time for control of these diseases

through KVK.

11.B. Cases of large scale adoption

(Please furnish detailed information for each case)

Since its inception this Kendra has been promoting seed treatment in pea to check the incidence of root rot / wilt

complex. The Kendra has laid out OFTs, demonstrations and conducted a large number of trainings in different

villages of district on this topic and has motivated people to adopt seed treatment. As a result of the efforts put in

by the Kendra, farmers have started treating their seed with various fungicides, particularly Carbendazim

(Bavistin) and this movement has spread to many villages. Also the Department of Agriculture of Himachal

Pradesh Government, which has made a policy, is promoting the same technology that every seed that is sown in

the field should be treated seed.

The cropping season in Lahaul & Spiti is short and only one crop can be taken in a year. However, in some parts

of the district pea crop is harvested in the month of July and for three months fields remain vacant or put under

fodder production. Some farmers of the district, particularly in Pattan valley, were cultivating ‘Yungar’ variety of

mustard, which gave very low yields as it was prone to shattering losses and also the oil content was less. The

Kendra promoted the cultivation of short duration variety of toria by conducting trainings and conducting

demonstrations. The farmers appreciated the new variety as it gave significantly higher yield and was not prone

to shattering losses and have adopted this variety. Presently most of the farmers in the Pattan valley in the district

have stopped cultivating ‘Yungar’ and have started cultivation of the toria crop (Bhawani).

11.C. Details of impact analysis of KVK activities carried out during the reporting period

Weeds are the major problem in all the crops. Due to labour shortage, chemical control of weeds is gaining

acceptance amongst the farming community. KVK is popularizing this technology amongst the farming community

of the district.

83

APR 2013-14

Farmers are adopting seed treatment in almost all the crops. This has been made possible by the efforts put in by the

KVK in terms of organizing trainings on the topic, conducting on – farm trials and conducting demonstrations on the

topic.

Farmers have started using micro nutrient formulations in established or newly planted orchards to prevent

deficiencies. This has been made possible by the KVK by organizing trainings and demonstrations on its use in

different villages of the district.

Farmers have started growing high yielding varieties of rajmash instead of growing mixture of varieties.

Farmers have started cultivation of exotic vegetables.

Farmers are also taking cultivating the off season vegetables under protected conditions.

ANNEXURE-II

Success story / Case studies


Title:

Introduction of high yielding Toria as second crop after harvesting of pea crop in Lahaul valley

Introduction:

The cropping season is only six months and the farmers were taking only one crop and in some areas after pea a short

duration very low yielding strain Younger was being taken. A need was field to introduce a high yielding strain of

mustard which was able to mature in 65-70 days period and

could be taken after pea crop

KVK Intervention:

The KVK introduced high yielding short duration (65-70

days) mustard genotype (Bhawani) suitable for

cultivation after pea in Pattan valley of Lahaul.

Output:

The local Younger variety was giving only 2-3 q/ha yield

whereas the introduced Bhawani variety of Toria was able to

yield 6-7 q/ha.

Outcome:

As compared to previous year 100% cropping intensity in

selected area in Pattan valley it has now increased to 200per

cent.

Impact:

An area of about 75 ha. has been brought under the practice

of pea followed by Toria variety (Bhawani) with an

additional returns of Rs45,000 to Rs48,000.

Title:

Introduction of Red American Race of Vermiculture

Introduction:

Vermicompost has been found to be a very good source of balanced nutrition for plants in resource poor regions of

Lahaul & Spiti where availability of biomass is a problem.

KVK Intervention:

KVK, Kukumseri established one vermicompost units in 2008 with promising race of earthworms, Eisinia foetida.

The culture was multiplied at the demonstration unit. The center has popularized the vermicomposting technology

among the farmers of Lahaul and Spiti District through trainings, awareness programmes and demonstrations. KVK,

Lahaul & Spiti st Kukumseri has established more than 200 vermicomposting units in 2010 and more than 100 units in

2011 at various locations. The farmers are multiplying the vermiculture at their fields & distributing among other

farmers, thus helping in horizontal expansion of the technology.

Output:

The farmers have started producing their own Vermicompost and using in horticulture and vegetable crops.

Outcome:

Previously the farmers were using compost which was low in nutrients and heavy doses were required to meet the

crop requirements.

Impact:

With the production of Vermicompost, the farmers have started growing off season vegetables cultivation including

exotic vegetables as well as fruits.

Annexure-III Cases of large scale adoption

Since its inception this Kendra has been promoting seed treatment in pea to check the incidence of root

rot / wilt complex. The Kendra has laid out OFTs, demonstrations and conducted a large number of

trainings in different villages of district on this topic and has motivated people to adopt seed treatment.

As a result of the efforts put in by the Kendra, farmers have started treating their seed with various

fungicides, particularly Carbendazim (Bavistin) and this movement has spread to many villages. Also

the Department of Agriculture of Himachal Pradesh Government, which has made a policy, is

promoting the same technology that every seed that is sown in the field should be treated seed.

The cropping season in Lahaul & Spiti is short and only one crop can be taken in a year. However, in

some parts of the district pea crop is harvested in the month of July and for three months fields remain

vacant or put under fodder production. Some farmers of the district, particularly in Pattan valley, were

cultivating ‘Yungar’ variety of mustard, which gave very low yields as it was prone to shattering losses

and also the oil content was less. The Kendra promoted the cultivation of short duration variety of toria

by conducting trainings and conducting demonstrations. The farmers appreciated the new variety as it

gave significantly higher yield and was not prone to shattering losses and have adopted this variety.

Presently most of the farmers in the Pattan valley in the district have stopped cultivating ‘Yungar’ and

have started cultivation of the toria crop (Bhawani).
