2. DETAILS OF DISTRICT (2009-10)

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 3,81,571 as per 2001 census (Male 1,98,016 and Female 1,83,555). Net cultivated area is 36,765 hectares. 30,053 ha is cultivated more than once thus making the total cultivated area to 66,818 ha. Only 2905 ha is irrigated which comes to 7.9 per cent of the net cultivated area. Out of 62,954 total operational holdings 0.02 % (15) are very large, 0.79 % (499) large, 4.84 % (3047) medium, 13.87 % (8731) small and 80.47 % (50,662) 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 S. No Farming system/enterprise 1.

Technical Feedback on the demonstrated technologies S. No Feed Back

1. Farmers are putting marginal lands for these crops and are growing under rainfed conditions. Therefore, new varieties should be developed having wider adaptability and resistant to drought.

2. Gobhi Sarson is a long duration crop. It takes long time to maturity thereby hampering the sowing of next crop. Hence early maturing variety needs to be developed.

3. In Rajmash trailing types of varieties are required as the farmers grow this crop as a mixed crop in the maize field.

4. Farmers’ give least importance to plant protection measures in these crops. Hence are suffering losses in yields.

Farmers’ reactions on specific technologies S. No Feed Back 1. Performance of improved crop/varieties under balanced nutrient supply in

FLDs was distinctly superior to farmers’ practice of applying only FYM and/or only top dressing of urea in local seed.

2. Farmers were satisfied with the support especially the technology and its mode of transfer and management.

3. Soybean is relatively new crop in the district. But there is no soybean oil extraction mill in the area. So the farmers are facing problem of its marketing. They are feeding it to milch animals. A Tremendous increase in the milk yield has been reported by the farmers.

4. Good quality seed in these crops is a limiting factor in their cultivation, which should be ensured to the farmers.

each case with suitable action photographs): a) Garlic Grows Cash Flows in Kullu valley- a success story

1. Technology/process which was intervened for its success:

Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Bajaura launched various extension/awareness programmes for the promotion of garlic cultivation technology in Kullu valley from 1999 onwards. The tips of garlic cultivation technologies are given as under:

a) Tips for Scientific cultivation of garlic Varieties

• GHC-1: It is a selection from local material, contains 12-15 cloves. high yielding, fragrance, bigger size cloves and easy for peeling. This variety is very popular in Kullu and Mandi district.

• Agrifound Parvati (G-313): It is selection from Hong Kong, contains 10-15 cloves

/bulb, bigger size bulbs and matures in 250-270 days.

Sowing Time: September-October Seed rate: 8-9 q/ha

Mulching • The garlic crop should be provided with a thin layer (4-5 cm) of mulch as dry leaves

@ 5-6 t/ha or crop residues or 10-12 t/ha of well rotten FYM or Compost. • Mulching increases soil temperature and moisture, ease germination, add organic

matter and also smother the weeds.

Interculture • Garlic is shallow rooted crop and 2 hand weedings at 30 and 60 days after sowing

Harvesting • The crop is considered ready for harvesting when the tops turn yellowish or brownish

and show signs of drying up and bend to the ground. • Early harvesting results in poor shelf life • Delayed harvesting results in splitting and sprouting of bulbs.

Curing • Curing is an additional process of drying to remove the excess moisture. Bulbs

are covered along with the tops of each other to avoid damage to the bulbs from sun.

• Bulbs are cured for 7-10 days in shade either with tops or after cutting the tops by leaving 2.5 cm to avoid the sun injury.

Storage:

• Garlic with leaves /tops can be stored by hanging in well-ventilated rooms. Perforated bags will prolong the storage life.

b). Activities undertaken: Awareness on scientific garlic cultivation technology was created among farmers of Kullu district through various programmes like, on and off-campus trainings, special celebrations, Kisan melas and demonstrations. a. On and off-campus training programme

2. Background about case or problem (reason, problems leading to its development as a success story/case, existing farming system and agro-ecological situations.

a) Reason, problems leading to its development as a success story/case:

Kullu is one of the major garlic growing districts of Himachal Pradesh. The crop has

gained commercial importance in the district because of congenial climatic and soil conditions. Earlier, the garlic was grown only for the kitchen gardening in the state. Later in 1982, the crop was introduced by NHRDF (National Horticulture Research and Development Foundation centre) as a commercial crop among few farmers in Kullu district on the basis of contract farming. Thereafter, its cultivation dwindled until assured market outlets were established by Himachal Pradesh State Marketing Board and the marketing was done through local mandi (s) in late nineties.

Attracted by the handsome returns per unit area, the number of farmers and area put under garlic, both increased significantly year after year. However, its production per unit area and quality of bulbs (low yield of A grade bulbs compared to B and C grades) in the farmers field was low due to lack of technical skills. In the backdrop of this scenario i.e. its perspectives and bright scope, the Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Bajaura took initiative to disseminate the scientific cultivation of garlic technology to the growers for the production of high quality garlic produce from the year 1999. Since then, the farmers were advocated to grow high quality garlic cultivation in a scientific way to fetch high prices in the market. As a result, the farmers of Kullu district took the garlic cultivation in a big way and more and more area was brought under this crop. At present, the total area under garlic cultivation is 850 hectares with the annual production of 850 M.T. which was merely 22 hectares in 1995-96.

b) Agro-ecological situations in Kullu: Kullu distict falls under two agro climatic zones namely mid hill sub humid zone and high

hill wet temperate zone. Further, on the basis of altitude, topography, thermal regime, soil type, hydrological features, precipitation and land use, four agro-ecological situations (AES,s) viz., Valley areas, Mid Hill Mild Temperate area, High Hill temperate areas and High Hill Wet Temperate areas have been identified. These four situations are spread in all the five blocks of the district.

c) Existing farming system: The cereal crops viz., maize, wheat, barley and pulses are generally the domain of

the un-irrigated land, however in case of paddy, 80% of which is grown under irrigated conditions, a significant proportion of the area has been shifted to vegetables.

3. Effect of technology/process on:

1) Production: With the intervention of KVK, Bajaura through various extension activities, the production and area of quality garlic increased significantly from year after year. Presently, the total area under garlic cultivation is 850 ha with the annual production of 850 M.T. which was merely 22 ha with the production of only 100 M.T. in 1995-96.

2) Productivity: The crop has gained commercial importance in the district because of congenial climatic and soil conditions. The farmers of the district adopted garlic cultivation in scientific way as advocated by the KVK,s scientists, the productivity per unit area increased significantly from 45.45 q/ha (1995-96) to 100 q/ha (2008-09).

3) Economic gains ( per unit expenditure, gross income, net income and B:C ratio): The following Table clearly depicts the economic gains of this valuable crop:

It is evident from the Table 1 that the total trade of garlic in Kullu district was to the tune of Rs 2125 Lakh during 2008-09.

4) Suitability in the existing farming/cropping systems: This crop found a pivotal position in the cropping system pattern of the valley as its water requirements are comparatively less than the other cash crops of the district. Maize-Garlic, French bean-Garlic and Cauliflower-Garlic has replaced Maize-Wheat and Maize-Barley sequences.

5) Acceptance of technology/process in terms of views of the farmers: The growers of the district are convinced with the technology provided by the KVK and other agencies which led to expansion of its area year after year. The garlic is marketed as a whole lot one time so that the farmers could save the money, whereas, in case of other vegetables/cash crops, the produce is marketed in lots over a period of time, so the farmers are of the opinion that if the money is received in small amount then it is spent and could not be saved. This also attracted many small and marginal farmers towards garlic cultivation.

6) Horizontal spread: With the intervention of KVK, the farmers were advocated to grow high quality garlic in a scientific way to fetch high prices in the market. As a result, the farmers of Kullu district took the garlic cultivation in a big way and more and more area was brought under this crop. At present, the total area under garlic cultivation is 850 ha with the annual production of 850 M.T. which was merely 22 ha in 1995.

7) Substitution or replacement of commodities: Major chunk of wheat and barley area was substituted with garlic.

8) Social impact (formation of clubs, groups, federations, etc.: Number of Self Help Groups(SHGs) and farmer clubs were formed during the last decade for the promotion of garlic cultivation in scientific way.

9) Marketing channels: Marketing of the garlic did not require much of the framer’s labour. The middlemen/traders lift the produce directly from the farmer’s store. Only few farmers used to shift their produce to local garlic collection centres or market yards/ mandis.

10) Establishment of process/units: Some of the SHGs and clubs have started their own processing units of garlic for the manufacture of pickles, paste and powder from the unmarketable produce (very small bulbs).

11) Linkage with technology/development organizations: KVK, Bajaura, established good rapport with NHRDF (National Horticultural Research and Development Foundation), HAREC (Hill Agricultural Research and Extension Centre, Bajaura), RHRS (Regional Horticultural Research Station, Bajaura), H.P. State Marketing Board, Private traders and state line departments for the promotion and dissemination of garlic technology among farmers of the district. Farmers interact with the experts and supporting agencies and always look for the continued guidance and support from KVK ,which is totally committed to the upliftment of unemployed rural youth.

12) Models.CDs developed if any: TV talks on DD, Shimla

3.8 Give details of innovative methodology/technology developed and

used for 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) for effective implementation of KVK programmes.

• 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. - 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. -

c) Crop seminar : Live crop seminar on diversified farming was organized by this KVK in collaboration with Doordarshan Shimla on 04.07.2009 at village Sainj Distt. Kullu which was telecasted live from 4.00-5.30 pm by DD Shimla. This programme was attended by more than 3000 farmers of the district along with personnels from distt. administration as well as line departments. Hon’ble Deputy Speaker Vidhan Sabha Himachal Pradesh was the chief guest and Hon’ble Vice Chancellor CSKHPKV, Palampur presided over the function. The exhibitions depicting the various activities of university and other line departments were also installed. The on spot solutions to the farmers’ problems were provided by the Scientists of the university.

d) Gender mainstreaming through self help group: Keeping in view the importance of women in agriculture and other allied activities, KVK is organizing meetings and forming groups in villages. Two 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. In 2009 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. One such group on dairy management has also been formed recently by KVK, where demonstration on new fodder grasses and scientific management of animals are being carried out.

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.

- Scooters/bikes should be provided to KVK so as to facilitate and enhance the extension activities in the nearby areas.

(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.

- The amount of permanent advance (PA) is too less (Rs. 5,000/-), which is not sufficient to meet day to day requirements, hence be raised to Rs. 10,000/- - 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.

- 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.
