Wheat variety - PBW-550 – Become popular in farmers for their yield and disease resistance in the District- Moradabad.

Situation analysis/problem statement - Sri Dharamveer singh, Vill – Ramnagar Ganngpur, Post – Mangupura, Block- Bilari, , district- Moradabad, a farmer who was selected for timely sown wheat variety and their production technology, training/demonstration. He was used older variety of wheat PBW- 343. This variety was susceptible to yellow rust and give low grain yield.

Plan implement and support – KVK Moradabad – I tried to make him aware regarding scientific cultivation of wheat and it was started from land preparation to harvesting. The KVK had encouraged the farmer for soil testing. On the basis of soil testing, advised him for balance dose of fertilizers which was used in variety PBW- 550. The variety was sown on 15-11-2012 with line sowing and half dose of N₂, full dose of P₂ O₅ and full dose of K₂ O as basal dose application while ¼ part N₂ used after first irrigation (crown root stage) and ¼ part used after 3rd irrigation (tillerig stage).

Output - Sri Dharamveer singh used the balanced dose of fertilizer N:P:K :: 150:60:40 Kg/ha in wheat crop as per suggestion of KVK scientist for his 0.1 ha land. His yield was 5.54 q/1000 sq mt for var. PBW- 550 while in PBW- 343 yield 4.25/1000 sq mt and got 28.23% more yield in demonstration. The economic gain in terms of per 1000sq mt unit expenditure, gross income , net return and BCR were recorded as Rs 2150, Rs 6630, Rs 4480 and 1:3.08, respectively.

Successful cultivation of intercrops in Autumn Sugarcane

Dr. A. K. Mishra & Dr. R. K. Singh

Sri Sarnam Singh S/O Sri Itwari Singh resident of village Khanpur, Block Bilari, Distt. - Moradabad having about 5.0 Acres of land, come in contact with Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Moradabad in the year of 2012-13 and he was advised to grow Autumn sugarcane with intercrop in crop rotation to get better income from his farm. With this new technology, germination of sugarcane improved from 60-70% and ultimately got higher yield of sugarcane. Farmer was suggested to take such intercrops which having higher market demand like Garlic, Mustard, Potato etc. He was able to obtain additional income by growing intercrops in autumn sugarcane as compare to sole crop, but best results were obtained with sugarcane + garlic 2014-15 & 2015-16.

These intercrops proved highly beneficial in besides giving good economic return. The productivity of the system and economic is given below .

Table No. 1 : Economics of Different Intercropping Systems

Salient Observation from Different System

Sugar Cane + Mustard : Intercropping of mustard with sugar cane is becoming very popular in the district.

• The most optimum time of sowing both the crops is first for night of October.
• The sugarcane germination within 3-4 weeks, but in the month of Nov. The S.cane crop has remains dormant till February and this character facilities growth of Mustard.
• The mustard is harvested by mid march when temperature rices.
• The yield of mustard is up to15.75 q/ha. as additional production.


 

Sugarcane + Potato

Intercropping of sugarcane + Potato is also very profitable. In this system sugarcane is planted at 90 cm. distance in Ist week of october and one row of Potato is planted between two row of sugarcane. Sugarcane crop is irrigated as per need of potato crop potato yield obtained from intercropping system in term of economically the net profit for both crops is Rs. 1,23140/- ha. & B.C. ratio is 1.98 respectively. Based on the existing agronomy, the potato based intercropping is not easy and not be common practice.

Sugarcane + Garlic

As the spices (garlic + onion) are very remunerative one labour intensive, their intercropping in autumn sugarcane my increase the income level as well as employment potential for small farmers. second thinks, these crop also posses peculiar odeeur which may serve as a repellent to the insect - pests of sugarcane (Verma etal., 1981) observed significant reduction in Top borrer incidence. When garlic was intercropped with sugarcane crop.

In case of Garlic + sugarcane intercropping system, planting of sugarcane is done in the month of October and simultaneously cloves of garlic are manually planted on the bed in row and field is immediately irrigated. Garlic yield from Sugarcane + Garlic intercropping system ranges from 102.5q/ha. and 97.65 q/ha. in the year of 2014-15 & 2015-16, in term of economic purpose the highest net return received in sugarcane +garlic intercropping system Rs. 3,20475/- (2014-15) & 381400/- (2015-16) and B.C. Ratio is also higher as compare to other intercropping system 1:2.72 (2014-15) & 1:2.7. (2015-16)respectively.

Horizontal spread of Technology

Now Sri Sarnam Singh is fully satisfied with this technology and continuously growing various intercrops in autumn planted sugarcane and getting higher net returns from this system (Table No. 1) the is helping KVK in organizing various transfer of technological activities.

“Generation of income of Sri Mukul Kumar Sharma by the use of Chopper and Mulcher for the field preparation of potatocrop.”

Sri Mukul Kumar Sharma S/O Sri Vinod Shankar Sharma, Near Gamadevat Mandir, Mohalla Abdulla, Block – Bilari, District – Moradabad – 202411. He is having 05 hectare land and 03 hectare used for potato cropping in the rabi 2019-20. There are 06 members in his family and depend on him.

Potato is a major crop after wheat and paddy due to its highest consumption as a routine. Yesteryears, Sri Sharma was used traditional method to prepare potato field with the help of cultivator and disc harrow. He always worried about burning of paddy crop residue in the field and think about a machine which can be utilize crop residue. With this thought keep in mind, Sri Sharma came to Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Bilari, Moradabad and met Dr. Hasan Tanveer, SMS/AP and Dr. R.K. Singh, Prof. Head for the solution of crop residue burning.

Sri Sharma discussed all the problems related to paddy straw burning and higher cost involved in potato field preparation. We suggested him to use Chopper to cut the stubbles of paddy in small pieces and afterwards use of Mulcher in the field to burry small pieces of paddy stubbles in the soil. We suggested sri Sharma to take advantages of KVK to improve his framing system and increase the income.

Sri Sharma was getting the technical information regarding Chopper and Mulcher, how to prepare his field by these machineries. He made his field excellent for the purpose of sowing of potato crop during rabi 2019-20. Sri Sharma is happy with the use of Chopper and Mulcher and appreciated KVK Bilari, Moradabad for providing above machineries / technologies under crop residue management project.

The major benefits are as under:-

• No burning of paddy straw in the field.
• Improvement in the amount of organic matter of soil.
• Pre irrigation of soil preparation is not required.
• Use of chemical fertilizer may be reduced gradually due to mixing of crop residue in the field/soil.
• Yield of potato is improved as compared to other normal field preparation.

Normal field – 240 – 260 q/ha.

Field prepared with -

Chopper and Mulcher – 300 – 320 q/ha.
