Farmers’ reactions on specific technologies

SN	Feed Back
1.	Groundnut variety GJG-32 gave higher yield and low disease infestation as compared to other variety but it required more number of days for maturity
2.	Yield of cotton can be increased through De-topping but De-topping practice is much laborious work and taking time for operation.
3.	Application of Trichoderma reduce wilt disease in cumin
4.	Application of Trichoderma reduce stem rot infestation in groundnut
5.	Low infestation of pest & disease in line sowing of cumin
6.	Research needed for control of insect-pests and diseases in organic farming

Different vegetables

Nutritive & fresh healthy vegetables

Kitchen garden

Farm women reaction

-Kitchen gardening gives continues supply of fresh vegetables at lower cost which gives daily nutritious diet

-In kitchen gardening farm women are not applying any agrochemicals so they produce organic vegetables

-Before demonstration, farm women were growing only three to four vegetable crops in their backyard but after demonstration they said that they will grow different vegetable crops through kitchen gardening in scientific way

-They gave extra vegetables to their neighbors

-Farm women said that now we will generate income by selling of extra vegetables because now they are aware about precious organic vegetables

- Due to kitchen gardening children learned to about plant cognization and bio diversity.

(v) Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana (PKVY)

“PramparagatKrishiVikasYojana (PKVY)” a sub-component of Soil Health Management (SHM) scheme under National Mission of Sustainable Agriculture (NMSA) aims at development of sustainable models of organic farming through a mix of traditional wisdom and modern science to ensure long term soil fertility buildup, resource conservation and helps in climate change adaptation and mitigation.

Objectives of the Scheme:

1. To promote natural resource based integrated and climate resilient sustainable farming systems that ensure maintenance and increase of soil fertility, natural resource conservation, on-farm nutrient recycling and minimize dependence of farmers on external inputs.

2. To sustainably produce chemical free and nutritious food for human consumption.

3. To protect environment from hazardous inorganic chemicals by adoption of ecofriendly low-cost traditional techniques and farmer friendly technologies.

4. To empower farmers through their own institutional development in the form of clusters and groups with capacity to manage production, processing, value addition and certification management.
