2. DETAILS OF DISTRICT (2012-13)

Kullu district is situated in the Inner Himalayas between 300 51’ 00” North latitude and 770

06’ 04” East longitude. The altitude of the district ranges from 500 m to 5000 m amsl, but the habitation is only up to 3500 m. In terms of geographical conditions the district is mountainous cruised by rivers & valleys. The Satluj and Beas are the principal rivers with many tributaries. For development purpose, the district has been divided into five blocks viz. Naggar, Kullu, Banjar, Ani and Nirmand. There are 204 Gram Panchayats and 172 revenue villages having many hamlets. Total population is 4,37,474 as per 2011 census (Male 2,24,320 and Female 2,13,154).

Net cultivated area is 37,263 hectares. 28,539 ha is cultivated more than once thus making the total cultivated area to 65,802 ha. Only 2905 ha is irrigated which comes to 7.8 per cent of the net cultivated area. Out of 62,625 total operational holdings 0.02 % (13) are very large, 0.79 % (495) large, 4.84 % (3031) medium, 13.87 % (8686) small and 80.47 % (50,400) marginal. The district experiences mild summers and severe winter due to snow fall on mountain ranges. December marks the onset of winter which continues till the end of February, sometimes continuing till the month of March. The snow and sleet fall in the upper region while rains are confined to the lower areas. From March onwards weather begins to warm up accelerating growth of rabi (winter)

crops. Hailstorms are received sometimes during April & May causing considerable damage to field crops and fruits. Monsoon begins in the end of June or beginning of July and recedes by the middle of September. In winter, heavy rainfall in lower belt and snow in higher belt is received due to western disturbances 2.1 Major farming systems/enterprises (based on the analysis made by the KVK)

B. Details of each On Farm Trial to be furnished in the following format A.

Technology Assessment

Trial 1 Title : Effect of bio-fertilizers on green pod yield of pea cv.

PB-89

Problem diagnose : Indiscriminate use of synthetic fertilizers imparts reduced nutritive value and sensory parameters, whereas integration of organic amendments and bio-fertilizers reduces the NPK doses and improves the soil health and plant nutrient availability resulting in higher pod yield besides being environmentally safe. Application of bio-fertilizers in vegetable crops has been of much significance because they not only fix atmospheric nitrogen but also produce growth promoting and antifungal substances. Therefore, on farm trials were conducted to determine the effect of Bio-fertilizers on the green pod yield of new variety of pea (PB-89).

Details of technology Selected for assessment/ refinement

: T1– Seed treatment with Rhizobium + RD (NPK:50:60:60 kg/ha)

T2 – Seed treatment with PSB + RD (NPK:50:60:60 kg/ha) T3- Seed treatment with Rhizobium + PSB + RD T4- Farmers’ Practice (No seed treatment + FYM@10

/ha + 50% NPK (25:30:30) Source of technology : CSKHPKV, Palampur

Production system : Irrigated vegetable based. Thematic area : Integrated Nutrient Management Performance of technology with performance indicators

: The refined practice of seed treatment of pea (Pisum sativum) cv. Punjab -89 with PSB + Rhizobium+RD produced the highest green pod yield (113.24 q/ha) compared to FP (96.1 q/ha) over locations. The seed treatment of PSB + Rhizobium, PSB, and Rhizobium registered an yield increase of 17.83 %, 16.21 and 14.88% , respectively over FP. The maximum B:C ratio (3.07) was obtained with PSB + Rhizobium+RD which was closely followed by the application of PSB (3.03) over FP (2.88).

Final recommendation for micro level situation

: Seed treatment of pea with PSB + Rhizobium gave higher yield and profitability.

Constraints identified and feed back for research

: Availability of biofertilizers should be ensured

Process of farmer’s : Testing was done on farmers’ field and they were

impressed with this technology as bio-fertilizers not only increased the yield of green pea but also improved the soil health. Other vegetable growers who participated in field days also showed keen interest towards the use of bio-fertilizers

Trial 2

Title : Evaluation of new varieties (early group) of pea under farmer’s resource management

Problem diagnose : Pea is one of the major cash crops of the district as it registered a two fold increase of area during the last 2-3 years. Replacement of old varieties is the need of the hour for sustainable production of peas. Early varieties of pea also fetch premium price in the market, therefore there is urgent need to evaluate new varieties of this group to evaluate their productivity and market acceptability

Details of technology Selected for assessment

: T1:Arkel (Farmers Practice) T2:Palam Triloki

Source of technology : CSK HPKV Palampur Production system : Irrigated vegetable based Thematic area : Varietal evaluation Performance of technology with performance indicators

: The resultsrevealed that Palam Triloki recorded the highest green pod yield (61.71 q/ha) over locations and registered an increase of 31.63 % over farmers’ practice i.e. Arkel (46.88 q/ha). Palam Triloki also matured 8-10 days early than Arkel with higher B : C ratio (1.75).


: Palam Triloki (early group) should be grown.


: More and more public sector varieties should be developed

Process of farmer’s participation and their reaction

: Testing was done on farmers’ field and they were impressed with the performance of Palam Triloki

Trial 3

Title : Effects of different blanching treatments and drying methods on green leafy vegetables (Spinach, Fenugreek & Coriander)

Problem diagnose : Green leafy vegetables are essential dietary sources such as vitamin, minerals and fibers, but are highly perishables due to high water content. Drying is the one of the most appropriate and best method to preserve these vegetables. Traditional method of sun drying lead

21

to poor quality and product contamination due to the lack of knowledge and skill. The present trial is planned to evaluate the effect of pretreatments on the quality parameters of these vegetables as sizable amount of these vegetables is available in the district which otherwise goes waste.

bisulphate + sun drying T4: Blanching (2 min) + steaming with 3% sodium

bisulphate + oven drying Source of technology : CSK HPKV Palampur Production system : - Thematic area : Drying of green leafy vegetables for nutritional

security. Performance of technology with performance indicators

: • Pretreating green leafy vegetables by blanching at 800C in boiling water and steam treatment with 3% sodium bisulphate for one minute and oven drying at 600C for 2 to 3 hours enhanced the quality and storage life of the dried vegetables

• Oven drying at 600C (2 to 3 hours) was found more effective than the sun drying

• Treatment retained the natural colors of the vegetables and no fungal growth were observed for six month storage of vegetables

• Water blanching is recommended over steam blanching or steaming with sodium bisulphate may be used

• Blanching slows down the enzyme activity that can cause undesirable changes in flavour and texture during storage


: Blancing green leafy vegetable in boiling water at 800 C and sulphitation with 3% sodium bisulphate for minute is recommended to enhance the quality and storage life of the dried vegetables


: Nutritional and proximate analysis may be done.


: They were satisfied and convinced by the results of OFT.

Trial 4

Title : Impact of concentrate feeding on weight gain in goat kids

Problem diagnose : In Kullu valley, there is a sizable population of goats. Farmers raise goats by grazing them on community/ forest lands alone without supplementing any concentrate ration resulting in poor growth rate. The present investigation is being conducted to evaluate influences of concentrate supplementation on body weight of weaned gaddi goat kids reared under extensive system. The economics of concentrate supplementation to kids will also be studied.


: T1: Concentrate feed @ 150gm/day/kid T2: Concentrate feed @ 100gm/day/kid T3: No concentrate feeding (Control group)

Source of technology : Standard technology - CSK HPKV Palampur Production system : - Thematic area : Concentrate feeding in small ruminants Performance of technology with performance indicators

:

Trial 5 Title : Comparative efficacy of ivermectin, levamisole and

albendazole against naturally occurring GI nematodes in gaddi goats

Problem diagnose : Helminth infections in small ruminants is a serious problem of the Kullu district particularly where nutrition and sanitation are poor. Helminthosis is a primary factor in the reduction of productivity of these animals through mortality and reduced weight gains


: T1: Ivermectin @0.2mg/Kg b.wt T2: Levamisole @7.5mg/Kg b.wt T3: Albendazole @ 10mg/ Kg b.wt

Source of technology : Standard technology - CSK HPKV Palampur Production system : - Thematic area : Disease management in sheep & goat Performance of technology : The results obtained showed only Ivermectin to be

23

with performance indicators 100% effective against GI nematodes of Goats whereas the efficacy of Levamisole and Albendazole were 90.83% and 68.48% respectively.


: Anthelmintics belonging to different groups should be used in rotation to avoid development of resistance against particular drug.


: Sheep and goat farmers are not aware about the importance of anthelmintic rotation and largely depend on availability of drugs from State Department of Animal Husbandry


: The faecal samples of animals were collected randomly and screened for parasites. Majority animals were found infected with heavy worm load which was correlated with reduced weight gains and mortality as reported by the farmers. The farmers appreciated the improvement in overall vigour and health of animals.

Trial 6 Title : Evaluation of new varitee o plu Problem diagnose : Monoculture of Santa Rosa cultivar of plum (> 80 %

area) is causing glut in the market due to short shelflife Details of technology Selected for assessment

Trial 7 Title : Top working of apple cultivar with pollinizers to

supplement pollination in Royal Delicious orchard Problem diagnose : Apple being a cross pollinated crop needs appropriate

proportions of pollinizers. In Himachal Pradesh average proportions of pollinizing trees in the orchard is less than 15 per cent which results in the declining of productivity of apple. Therefore, on farm trial on top working of apple

24

cultivar with pollinizers was initiated to increase the proportions of pollinizing trees in the orchard to enhance its productivity


: T1 – Top working with Golden Delicious + Granny Smith T2 –Top working with Golden Delicious+ Spartan

T3 – Top working with Commercial+ Mollis Delicious + Gloster

T4 – Top working with Commercial + Black Ban Davis+ Spartan

T5 – Farmers’ practice (Golden Delicious or Red Gold)

Source of technology : YSPUHF, Solan Production system : Rainfed horticulture based Thematic area : Integrated orchard management Performance of technology with performance indicators

: Top working with pollinizer cultivars Commercial + Blackban Davis + Spartan gave highest fruit set (29.54 %) and yield (13.64 Mt/ha). It was followed by Commercial + Mollis Delicious + Gloster (27.52% fruit set & 12.74 MT yield/ha). Farmers practice i.e. Golden delicious alone was the most inferior with 16.00% fruit set and 9.69 MT yield/ha.


: Farmers of the district can use either of two combinations of pollinizing cultivars to get optimum yield


: -


: Farmers are fully convinced with this technique as this resulted in the higher fruit set and yield

B Technology Refinement:

Trial 1 Title : Effect of integrated nutrient management on

Cauliflower (Hybrid Fuziyama) yield and soil health

Problem diagnose : Cauliflower is one of the major cash crop grown throughout the year in the district and has played a major role in diversification of agriculture with present area of about 800 ha. Due to continuous cultivation of heavy feeder vegetable crops for many years with imbalance use of fertilizers is deteriorating soil health and trends of stagnation of yield levels in general and some decline in more intensive cropping zones has

25

been noticed. Therefore to sustain diversification, soil test based nutrient application is need of the hour


: T1: Farmers practice (150 kg, 12: 32: 16 + 10 t FYM/ha)

T2: Recommended doses of nutrients (125:75:70 NPK kg/ha + 25 t FYM /ha)

T3: 25 % higher than recommended doses of NPK + 25t FYM ha-1 + 0.04% boric acid + 0.04% ammonium molybdate spray at 20 days after transplanting and 2 weeks before head formation.

Source of technology : CSK HPKV Palampur Production system : Maize/Tomato-Cauliflower Thematic area : Integrated nutrient management on soil test basis. Performance of technology with performance indicators

: Results showed that 25 % higher than recommended doses of NPK + 25t FYM ha-1+0.04% boric acid +0.04% ammonium molybdate spray at 20 days after transplanting and 2 weeks before head formation gave higher curd yield (259.10 q / ha) as compared to FP (190.67 q / ha).


: Integrated nutrient management is effective method of nutrient management in vegetable crops and it increases crop yield.


: Fertility map of the whole district should be developed.


: Farmers were convinced with production and quality of produce and showed their willingness for the soil test based nutrient management especially for the use of micronutrients

Trial 2 Title : Management of fruit borer in tomato (Hybrid

Heemsohna)

Problem diagnose : Tomato fruit borer, Helicoverpa armigera is an important pest causing considerable losses in marketable yield of tomato, one of the major cash crops of the distt. Further, indiscriminate use of pesticides is aggravating the ill effects. Therefore, there is urgent need to assess the recommended pesticides in all the agroecological situations and strive to find out some combination with biopesticides to reduce the chemical load


: T1: Farmer’s practice (Repeated spray of cypermethrin)

T2: Acephate 75 SP (6.5g/10 liter of water) followed by lambdacyhalothrin (0.8ml /litre of water)

T3: Bacillus thuringiensis var. Kurstaki @ 1 Kg/ ha

26

followed by lambdacyhalothrin (0.8ml/litre of water)

Source of technology : CSK HPKV Palampur Production system : Irrigated vegetable based Thematic area : Integrated Pest Management Performance of technology with performance indicators

: Spray of Acephate 75 SP (6.5g/10 liter of water) followed by lambdacyhalothrin (0.8ml /litre of water) at 15 days intervals gave the highest yield (320.80 q/ha) and maximum reduction in larval population 7th day after spray


: Spray of Acephate 75 SP (6.5g/10 liter of water) followed by lambdacyhalothrin (0.8ml /litre of water) at 15 days interval is effective against tomato fruit borer.


: -


: These insecticides were tested in the famer’s fields and they appreciated the results.

Trial 3 Title : Effect of soluble fertilizers in tomato hybrids (Hybrid

Heemsohna) under farmer’s resource management

Problem diagnose : Soluble/ foliar nutrition is designed to eliminate the problems like fixation and immobilization of nutrients. Tomato is one of the most important vegetable crops of Kullu district. The new varieties of tomatoes are quite responsive to the chemical fertilizers for higher production and productivity. Recently, new generation soluble fertilizers have been introduced exclusively for foliar feeding. Hence, OFT was conducted to evaluate the effect of these soluble fertilizers on fruit yield on tomato in addition to recommended NPK (150:120:55)

Details of technology Selected for assessment/ refinement

: T1: Farmers Practice (50% NPK i.e 75:60:27.5 kg/ha & 10 t FYM)

T2: RD (100% NPK @150:120:55 +20 tFYM) + Two sprays of poly-feed (19:19:19)

T3: RD + Three sprays of poly-feed (19:19:19) T4: RD + Four sprays of poly-feed (19:19:19)

Source of technology : IIVR, Varanasi Production system : Irrigated vegetable based. Thematic area : Evaluation of soluble fertilizers Performance of technology with performance indicators

: The refined practice of application of 4 sprays of soluble fertilizers i.e. NPK:19:19:19 @0.50% started after flowering at 10 days intervals gave the highest fruit yield of tomato cv. ‘Heemsohna’ (397.97 q/ha) along with the maximum B:C ratio (3.33) compared to the FP

27

(302.47 q/ha). The application of soluble fertilizer NPK:19:19:19 (@0.50% with 4 sprays, 3 spray and 2 sprays recorded the increased fruit yield to the tune of 31.57%, 27.72% and 22.87% over FP. The average fruit weight was also maximum with 4 sprays (73.4 g) compared to FP (69.4 g).


: The foliar application of soluble fertilizers i.e. NPK : 19:19:19 @ 0.50% gave the maximum marketable fruit yield and profitability.


: Location specific studies on application of soluble fertilizers should be conducted


: Testing was done on farmers’ field and they were impressed with this technology as soluble fertilizers not only increased the fruit yield of tomato but it also improved the fruit quality. Other vegetable growers who participated in field days also showed keen interest

Helminth infections in small ruminants is a serious problems of the Kullu district particularly where nutrition and sanitation are poor. Helminthosis is a primary factor in the reduction of productivity of these animals through mortality and reduced weight gains

Comparative efficacy of Ivermectin, Levamisole and albendazole against GI nematodes of goats

Efficacy (%)

The results obtained showed only Ivermectin to be 100% effective against GI nematodes of Goats whereas the efficacy of Levamisole and Albendazole were 90.83% and 68.48% respectively. These results suggest that in the studied group there is resistance to albendazole and Levamisole which may be due to the repeated use of these drugs in the unorganized sheep and goat flocks in field conditions.

The farmers appreciated the improvement in overall vigour and health of animals.

Average fruit yield (q/ha)

The refined practice of application of 4 sprays of soluble fertilizers i.e. NPK:19:19:19 @0.50% started after flowering at 10 days intervals gave the highest fruit yield of tomato cv. ‘Heemsohna’ (397.97 q/ha) along with the maximum B:C ratio (3.33) compared to the FP (302.47 q/ha). The application of soluble fertilizer NPK:19:19:19 (@0.50% with 4 sprays, 3 spray and 2 sprays recorded the increased fruit yield to the tune of 31.57%, 27.72% and 22.87% over FP.

Himachal Pradesh has diversity of bee flora and varied agro-climatic conditions and so this hilly state has enormous potential for profitable beekeeping. Beekeeping has predominant role to play in pollination, honey and wax production. Pollination benefits can be evaluated at higher level as compared to by products produced by the bees. Honey bees during foraging for pollen and nectar from flower of different plant species, enhance agricultural productivity to the tune of 30-80% annually through cross-pollination. The modern beekeeping in H.P. was introduced only in the year 1934 in Kullu valley and in 1936 in Kangra valley. Only Apis cerana indica the Indian honey bee was reared in the state until the year 1961 when A. mellifera was introduced in India at Bee Research Station, Nagrota Bagwan (H.P.). Keeping the mandate of the KVK's in view the Kendra is imparting various skill-oriented training programmes for unemployed educated youth of the district. Beekeeping is one of the areas where rural youth can be trained to earn their livelihood. In this regard, KVK Kullu organized 11 training programme (5-7 days) during the year 2005-2012. (Table 1). After successfully acquiring the training from KVK, 6 trainees started commercial beekeeping with Apis mellifera and are getting handsome amount of money. Others have taken up Apis cerana beekeeping in a scientific way in movable hives and use them for pollination in their orchards besides renting them to other orchardists.

Example: Beekeeping: A lucrative rural enterprise - …A success story of Kullu district

Beekeeping is one of the areas where rural youth can be trained to earn their livelihood. Fifty-year-old Sh. Kehar Chand has become a source of inspiration to other farmers in Kullu district. Middle pass Sh. Kehar Chand of Sharan village in Nagar block started bee keeping with 50 Apis mellifera bee colonies in 2011 when he came in contact with Krishi Vigyan Kendra Bajaura (Kullu). He obtained vocational training in bee keeping from KVK, Bajaura during the year 2011 and today he is extracting quality honey from over 250 bee colonies. Kehar Chand said, "The cost of agriculture has gone up manifold. The returns have fallen. In the light of land share per person declining, non availability of labour resulting in increased labour cost, looking for alternative avenues of generating money is imperative." He opted the bee-keeping as an entrepreneurship with 50 boxes and got some income which gave some confidence to extend it. At present his unit has progressed upto 250 colonies.

To overcome the winter, he migrates bee colonies to Haryana, UP, and Rajasthan as per the availability of flora. In the month of September he shifts his colonies to Ambala and to Badayun (Bareli). During October, November, and December he extracts honey three times from Sarson and Toria. In second fortnight of December he migrates his colonies to Bharatpur and remains there up to first week of February and extracts honey three times. In the second week of February he shifts to Ambala and extracts honey from Eucalyptus in the month of March. In the month of April he brings his colonies back to Kullu valley and provides colonies of honeybees for efficient pollination purpose on rental basis to the orchardists, particularly apple and stone fruits (almond, peach, plum, apricot, cherry etc.). Colonies are rented out to orchardists @ Rs. 600 to 700 per colony (depending upon colony strength) per flowering season and getting additional income. During last week of May he migrates his colonies to Koksar (Lahaul).

The honey produced in Lahaul valley especially, the white honey obtained from flora of Plectranthus spp. and other medicinal plants which have medicinal values gets higher price in the market. Now–a-days his business is flourishing by leaps and bounds. On an average, he is earning Rs. 5.6 lakh /-per annum from the sale of raw honey and bee colonies. He has motivated rural youth of nearby villages to adopt beekeeping as a vocation. Economic Analysis of Bee Keeping Enterprise of Sh. Kehar Chand, Village Sharan P.O. Nagar Distt. Kullu (H.P.)

Impact

By imparting beekeeping training, KVK has made a positive contribution to the development of beekeeping enterprise and the generation of employment opportunities to the unemployed youth and rural people. Six youths, who were imparted training during 2005-2012, have taken up commercial beekeeping with Apis mellifera and are earning 2.5-5.0 lacs every year. Others have taken up Apis cerana beekeeping in a scientific way in movable hives and use them for pollination in their orchards besides renting them to other orchardists. Besides some participants after having got encouragement regarding the plantation of bee flora in rangelands and common waste lands under social forestry have taken up plantation in such lands. Technical guidance and provision of financial support by preparing project profiles to avail loans from various banks were provided for the inquisitive trainees to exhort them to shift to modern beekeeping from the traditional one

Transfer of Technology during the year

• To increase outreach of KVK to every nook and corner of the district, good liaison has been made with all the stakeholders (Govt. Departments and NGOs including Yuvak Mandals and Mahila Mandals, and Fruit & Vegetable Growers’ Associations) for effective implementation of KVK programmes.

• Krishak Mitra at each panchayat have been trained at KVK, which has increased our outreach to every panchayat and these Krishak Mitras are working as our link workers and ambassadors

• Kullu Krishi Patrika is being sent to every Panchayat to have good contact with Panchayati Raj Institurtions.

• Group leaders and progressive farmers are being trained and utilized as master trainers.

• Some of self help groups have been associated/linked with KVK and regular monthly meetings of these are convened to review the progress and chalk out further programmes. Services of these groups are being utilized to motivate other farmers through participation in training and exhibitions.

• In case of training & pruning in apple and other temperate fruits, local rural youth is being trained in groups to perform this important operation in orchards on contract basis for providing them avenue for earning.

3.9 Give details of indigenous technology practiced by the farmers in the KVK

operational area which can be considered for technology development (in detail with suitable photographs)

- Oil extracted from the wood of young Deodar plants is sometime used by the

Farmers of interior villages of higher altitude to cure skin diseases of sheep and goats.

- For the control of stored grain pests in wheat (kept for seed), kerosene oil and ash are mixed with seeds. The seeds are also mixed with ash (1 kg per 10 kg of seed) for the control of loose smut in wheat. In case of pulses (gram, moong, mash and rajmash)

- Ash is spread over the paneeri (seedlings)/garlic/onion plants to avoid the attack of insects. Dusting of ash on cucurbit leaves against red pumpkin beetle is also done which reduce the attack to a considerable extent.

- Chillies are put in the sealed container (2 chillies per kg of the product) for the control of dhora insects.

- Some farmers cover the container of pulse grains (on the neck of the pot) with 10 cm layer of sieved dung ash. Ash prevents the entry of fresh air and moisture into grains and obstructs the conditions which are favorable for the build up of insect population.

- The maize stover is stored by the farmers between two branches of the trees.

73

- Some farmers in far-flung areas use copper sulphate solution for seed treatment especially in wheat crop.

- The leaves of a wild plant Kusuma (Mentha spp.) are mixed with wheat grains meant for seed purpose.

- The green walnut leaves in alternate layers are put with the stored seeds against stored grain pests in maize, wheat and barley.

Keeping in view the importance of women in agriculture and other allied activities, KVK is organizing meetings and forming groups in villages. Three such SHGs (Women Kisan group) of 20 members in each have been formed by this Kendra. Initially they were made aware about the importance, function of the group by conducting regular monthly meetings for about 6-8 months in KVK premises. Training w.r.t. agriculture, vegetables, value addition, dairy management etc. besides solving their agricultural queries and spot visits were imparted regularly to these groups. The groups are now being registered/ attached with NABARD for financial support. These groups are now preparing their own products and also have improved their skill and knowledge. Some of the members have adopted polyhouse, vermicompost unit and micro-irrigation techniques. Five members of the group are also acting as trainers for different groups during the trainings. Two such groups on dairy management have also been formed by KVK, where demonstration on new fodder grasses and scientific management of animals are being carried out. c) Documentation of Innovator farmers: Innovations by farmers are being documented by KVK and such farmers are being involved to share their innovations at district, state and national level. One of such innovator, Sh Het Ram, Village Kalehali, PO Bajaura got ‘NAVNAMESHI KRISHAK SAMAAN’ in Annual Pusa Krishi Vigyan Mela at IARI held from 6-8th March, 2013. Some of innovations have been published by Zonal Project Directorate as follows :

e) Presentation and putting up of exhibition in National Conference:

• Presentation on Nov. 22, 2012 : On the topic –Sharing of initial outcomes of project entitled “National Initiative on Climate Resilient Agriculture” - Technology Demonstration Component. In Seventh National Conference on KVKs : Integrating Technologies & Best Practices organised by Division of Agricultural Extension, ICAR, New Delhi & Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana at PAU, Ludhiana, 20-22 November, 2012.

• Exhibition depicting success stories of KVK Kullu was also put during Seventh National Conference on KVKs : Integrating Technologies & Best Practices organised by Division of Agricultural Extension, ICAR, New Delhi & Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana at PAU, Ludhiana, 20-22 November, 2012.

8.1 Constraints

(a) Administrative

- The district Kullu comprises of hilly terrain/mountain and most of the villages are still inaccessible. Therefore, it is very difficult to conduct extension activities by this KVK in such areas with limited scientific and other staff. At present, as per ICAR norms, the scientific, technical and office staff in this KVK is not sufficient, whereas the quantum of work is quite high. The staff position must be as per the old ICAR pattern of KVK, where total number of sanctioned staff position was 26.

- Non-availability of mini-bus for taking scientists of all the disciplines to the farmer’s fields and farmers to the Kendra.

(b) Financial

- There is sometime considerable delay in sanction/release of KVK budget by the ICAR which is adversely affecting the activities of KVK. Hence the budget must be released at the start of the financial year.

- Delegation of powers be raised as the price index has gone up.

(c) Technical

- Public sector hybrids in vegetables should be developed as private companies are selling the seed without prior testing by universities resulting sometimes in crop failure

- Sometimes non-availability of recommended quality chemicals and seeds of recommended varieties at proper time.

88

- Poor knowledge of farmers regarding disease and insect pest management due to illiteracy. - Farmers put only marginal lands under pulse crops and do not apply recommended

fertilizers doses to these crops resulting in poor yields.
