Looking to the resource availability for fisheries Development in Navsari District
a one day seminar on ‘Entrepreneurship Development in Inland Fisheries’ was arranged on
first day of the week. More than 100 fresh water fish farmers including women participated.
Various topics such as ‘women active participation in fisheries, Women empowerment
through value addition in fresh water fish, Integrated fish farming and Entrepreneurship
development through Fish farming in village tanks have been covered by experts and
scientists. South Gujarat contributes maximum fruits production in Gujarat. But there is huge
loss during handling and due to inadequate facilities for preservation. So a seminar on
Preservation of Fruits and vegetables was conducted. Moreover various seminars such as
‘High density plantation in fruits and vegetables, Integrated weed management and Scientific
management of crossbred cow’ were arranged. During the week total 537 participants
including 245 farmers and 292 farm-Women from about 23 villages of Navsari District were

First Day 19th
January, 2015
Seminar on Entrepreneurship development in Inland fisheries
Gujarat state has the highest marine catch in India but poor in fresh water fish
production. South Gujarat is bestowed with many fresh water resources of varied nature,
tropical climate and large number of human resources including large number of fish eaters in
Gujarat. Navsari District also has about more than 600 village tanks. But most of the
resources are remained unutilized for fish culture activities. Very few are being used for fish
farming with low yield. Thus looking the resource availability and public interest there is a
huge potential for the development of fisheries enterprise. In this context, the organization of
the seminar on ‘Entrepreneurship Development in Inland fisheries’ will provide an
opportunity to the participants to empower themselves and will pave the way to start fisheries
enterprise with more accuracy and scientific approach.
The programme was started with the welcome address and speech by Dr.
C.K.Timbadia, Programme coordinator, KVK, Navsari. He also explained the different
activities done by KVK, Navsari in the District. Dr.A. N. Sabalapara, Director of Research,
NAU, Navsari remained present in inauguration ceremony of technology week and delivered
remarkable presidential speech on the available fisheries resource and scope for the
development. He also emphasized over fisheries education and role and sincere efforts of
NAU to start Fisheries Science college will trigger the Fisheries activities with more
intensity. On this occasion a Gujarati training manual cum book let on ‘ Entrepreneurship
Development in Inland Fisheries’ written by Mr. P. P. Patel, Dr. R. V. Borichangar and Dr.
C. K. Timbadia has been released. Dr. R. V Borichangar, Associate professor, Soil and water
Management unit, NAU, Navsari delivered lecture with power point presentation on ‘ Fish
farming in village tanks, Integrated fish farming and empowerment of women through value
addition in Fresh water fish’. Moreover Prof. P. P. Patel, SMS (Fisheries) delivered lectures
on Entrepreneurship Development through Fish farming activities, success story of Poor
fishermen of Sadlav village, women empowerment and their role in fisheries activities. About
100 farmers including 26 women have actively participated in the seminar and rectified their
doubts by asking certain questions to scientists.
Moreover all the farmers visited demonstration fish culture ponds at KVK and soil
and water management unit, NAU, Navsari.

Second Day- 20th
January, 2015
Seminar on Fruits and vegetables preservation
India is next to Brazil in fruits and next to China in vegetables production. Fruits
and vegetables are highly perishable in nature so there is an about 35 to 40% loss due to
deterioration. Therefore, we should preserve them for storage. Fruits and vegetables are
protective foods. As per scientific recommendation everyone should consume 85 gm of fruits
per day. By preserving the fruits and vegetables and their products we can enjoy them in off
season. Moreover it can create employment opportunities in the country.
Due to adoption of high tech horticulture approach in India the production of
fruits and vegetables is increasing. Establishment of large number of processing and
preservation unit for fruits and vegetables avoid excess stock in market which in turn fetches
enough value to farmers and people can and enjoy in off season also. Different value added
bi-products can be prepared from fruits and vegetables. The total estimated annual production
is more than 70 million tones. Due to inadequate facilities for processing nearly 35 to 40%
produce of the total production is wasted amounting to Rs. 3000 crores annually.
The importance of fruits and vegetables are well known by the Indians as fruits
and vegetables are rich source of Vitamins and minerals. Storage of food material in perfect
consumable condition for a longer time without undergoing any spoilage is an urgent need of
the era. There is heavy glut of fruits and vegetables in the market during the season and large
quantity of its get spoiled due to lack of storage facilities. Climatic diversification an
important component for production in huge quantity of various fruits and vegetables in
India. However, fruits and vegetables are cheap in the season and wasted due to spoilage at
greater extent. Therefore, to avoid the spoilage processing units are to be installed. It has been
reported by AIPEDA ( Agril and Product Export and Development Authority) that the import
of fruits has been growing 37% annually. Considerable losses also occur due to improper
handling transportation and lack of processing and preservation units. By using various
methods shelf –life of fruits and vegetables can be extended and used as material for
processing units. Thus this seminar will be the small step to create awareness among farmers
for proper handling and preservation of such valuable gift of God.
Dr.C.K.Timbadia, Programme Co-ordinator welcomed all dignitaries and briefed
all the activities related women empowerment and value addition in fruits and vegetables
conducted by KVK, Navsari. Dr. M.K.Aarvadia, Principal & Dean of N.M.college of

Seminars on Integrated weed management in field crops.
Third Day- 21st January 2014
There are four main factors responsible for loss in crop production viz, insect,
disease, weeds and rats. About 26.3% loss in crop production occurs due to diseases, 9.6%
reduction by insect, 13.8% by rats and remarkably higher reduction about 33.8% by weeds.
Due to weed infestation only about 10 to 100% reduction in production was found in
different crops. Those plants that interfere with human activity in crop and non-crop are
considered as weeds. Total more than 250 plants act as weeds. Weeds compete with crops
for soil nutrients, water and light; the host insects and plant pathogens harmful to crop plants.
Weeds also hinder crop harvest and increase the costs of production. It is difficult to control
weed by any single methods. Therefore it is very important to follow integrated approaches to
control the weeds. Looking to current era need a one day seminar on integrated weed
management in field crops was arranged at KVK, Navsari.
KVK, Navsari staff cardinally invited all dignitaries, scientist and farmers those
are exited and interested for the seminar. Dr. C. K. Timbadia, Programme co-ordinator
delivered welcomes speech and threw light over the extension activities being conducted by
the centre. Dr. G. G. Radadia, Registrar, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari presided
over and delivered an excellent speech on importance and methods of weed management
citing their personal experience of the research. Dr. Mali, Research Scientist, Sugarcane
Research station, NAU, Navsari expressed detailed methods and scientific approach of weed
management. He also added early precautions measures to be taken by farmers for effective
weed management. Moreover Sarpach of nearby villages those are interested for the activities
remained present and presented and shared their experiences. Dr. K. A. Shah, SMS
(Agronomy), KVK, Navsari delivered scientific lectures over weed management and its
importance for increasing agriculture produces. Many interested farmers presented their
doubts, quarries to the scientist on various weeds and their methods to be controlled. More
than 90 farmers were benefitted and actively participated.

Fourth Day- 22nd
January, 2015
Seminar on Scientific management of cross bred cows
In Gujarat, dairy farming is providing subsistence to millions of small, marginal
landless farmers. Navsari district has highest population of crossbred animal in the south
Gujarat. Such animal are mainly reared through the utilization of crop residues and some
extent of concentrates. It is known fact that bulk of milk production is handled by small milk
producers who are uneducated and unaware of economic aspects of milk production. They
are maintaining their animals in traditional way and so they are not getting more profit in
dairy farming. Hence it was felt that there is an urgent need to sensitize the dairy farmers
about the scientific technologies and various interventions required in dairy production, in
order to enhance milk production and to obtain good quality animals at door step. Keeping in
view the above situation, today’s theme was the scientific management of crossbred cows.
Dr. C. K. Timbadia, Programme co-ordinator welcomed all dignitaries, scientists
and farmers and briefed about the activities being conducted for Animal health and milk
production. Active social worker and NRI respected Shri Dahyabhai Patel remained present
as a chief guest and expressed his best wishes for success to livestock owners. Breeding is the
most important aspect in animal husbandry. It helps to obtain good quality animals at the
door step and also helpful to improve milk production of the animals. Livestock owners have
least knowledge about breeding and genetic parameters of the animals. Dr.V.B. Kharadi
,Research scientist, Livestock Research Station, NAU, Navsari has delivered his technical
lecture on breeding management of crossbred cows quoting his vast personal experiences.
Crossbred animals are more susceptible to various animal diseases as compared to
native breeds of animals. So there is higher cost in the treatment of the animals which reduce
the profit margin in dairy farming. They don’t regularly deworm their animals and some of
the farmers don’t vaccinate their animals regularly. Dr V.S. Dabas, Professor, veterinary
college, Navsari has vast experience in the line of treatment especially he has experience of
some homemade treatments. He shared his technical knowledge and experience to the
livestock farmers. He clearly taught the farmers how to keep their animals disease free at low
cost of treatment and improve the profit in dairy farming.
Moreover Dr. M. A. Katariya, SMS(Animal sci.), KVK, Navsari has delivered his
speech over feeding management of cows during dry, pregnant and lactation stage. Livestock
owner don’t have enough knowledge about the feeding of dry cows, feeding allowance in the
late pregnancy stage and lactation stage, feed supplements and its use in ration also. During
the seminar many livestock owners had expressed their gratitude to Dr. Dabas sir for
successful surgery and treatment of their valuable live assets.
Thus more than 100 women engaged with dairy farming activities participated and
reaped the benefits of the day.

Fifth Day- 23rd
January, 2015
A Seminar on High density plantation in fruits and vegetables
High density means to increase the plant population per unit area for increasing
the production of fruit crops. Advancing knowledge in litchi tree architecture, growth
physiology, and possibility of using growth retardants has enabled farmers to adopt closer
planting and maintaining reachable canopy. This system is popularly known as the High
Density Planting (HDP). It enables profitable cropping, high regular yields and improved
farm management practices, leading to higher productivity. Today new orchards of mangoes
are being attempted to plant in this system with a view to produce higher fruit yield and
increased profitably. Use of growth retardants which restricts tree growth and encourages
early flower induction, have also been found helpful for these high-density planting systems.
High density planting technique is a modern method in litchi cultivation also involving
planting of litchi trees densely, allowing small or dwarf trees with modified canopy for better
light interception and distribution and ease of mechanized field operations. Control of pests
and diseases, weeds and pruning of tree canopy can be carried out by machine. Irrigation and
fertigation are automatically controlled. Such system produces precocious cropping, high and
regular yields of good quality fruits and low labor requirement to meet ever rising production
costs. It is the best way of efficient utilization of land resources with increase in yield per unit
area. It enhances quality production of fruits and vegetables. It is easy for interculturing
operation, plant protection and harvesting. It also fetches export quality of the harvest.
However there are some disadvantages which are less life span of the fruit, difficult to
manage the canopy, require tree high techniques for the maintained of fruit trees.
Increasing pressure on land owing to diversion of orchard lands to various other
obvious reasons as well as rising energy and land-costs, together with mounting demand for
fruits have made it imperative to achieve higher productivity from limited space. One should
be very conscious in case of high density because closer spacing may bring negative impact
in growers’ fields if the complete package of high density has not been properly understood
and followed. So KVK Navsari took initiative to encourage high density plantation of
vegetable fruits in south Gujarat. A one day seminar has been arranged during technical week
celebration.
Dr. C. K. Timbadia welcomed all degnitaries, scientists and farmers and stated the
year round activities being conducted by KVK for the development of farming society. Dr. C.
J. Dangaria, Hon’ble Vice chancellor, NAU, Navsari presided over and awaked the farmers
about an important of horticulture cropping system of South Gujarat. He also briefed the
potential for horticulture development in South Gujarat implementing recent agricultural
Technology week celebration 2015@KVK, Navsari Page 28
advancements. Moreover Mr. Kadam, Asstt. General Manager, NABARD also emphasized
over horticulture plantation using latest advantageous components of high density plantation.
Looking to the keen interest of the farmers and KVK he encouraged farmers to come forward
with high tech agriculture/horticulture projects to get maximum funding from NABARD.
Moreover he briefed various Govt. schemes for horticulture development. Dr. Sagar Patil,
Associate Research Scientist, Dept. of Horticulture delivered detailed about high density
plantation methods in fruits crops and standard protocol for high density plantation of various
fruits crops. Lady official from NABARD presented detailed about Solar equipments being
used in Agriculture. Dr. B. M. Tandel delivered lectures on high density plantation in
vegetables crops showing various methods of plantation. More than 100 farmers attended the
seminar and rectified their doubts and questions. At last they visited demonstration unit of
KVK and Navsari Agril. University.

Sixth Day- 8th
February, 2014
Seminar on use of bio insecticides and fungicides in agriculture
Preamble
Crop production and crop protection are the two major pillars in the filed of
agriculture. Not only production of crop but also protection is most essential. Annually there
are tones of crop losses due to pests and disease attack. To overcome this menace most of the
farmers are using chemical pesticides. This result many problems like elimination of natural
enemy, pesticide residue in food crops, environment contamination, soil degradation due to
pesticide deposition and ground/ surface water contamination, resulting poor health of human
beings. Without the environment human can’t survive therefore there is an urgent need of
protecting the nature there by we can see healthy generation in upcoming years. With this
background Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Navsari arranged one day seminar on “USE OF
INSECTICIDSES AND FUNGICIDES IN AGRICULTURE” during technology week celebration.
Inaugural session: Dr. C. K. Timbadia, Programme Co-ordinator, KVK, Navsari welcomed
all dignitaries and briefed the agricultural development oriented activities being conducted by
KVK in Navsari District. Mrs. Remya Mohan, Hon’ble collector and Executive Magistrate
remained present in the seminar and delivered speech over the importance and current need
of bio controls for the diseases in Agriculture crops. She also felicitated the farmers those are
actively using bio-agents against disease. Moreover Shri Maheshbhai Halpati, President,
Taluka Panchayat, Jalapore and Mrs. Pratibhasen Patil, Member, District Panchayat, Navsari
remained present over the function and boosted the farmers on utilization of recent
advancement of Agriculture.
FIRST SESSION: Dr. Lalith Mahatma
Topic: Use of bio-fungicides in agriculture
Trichoderma viridae, Pseudomonas fluorescence, Verticillium lecani are the major bio-
fungicides used in the agriculture. These are effective biological mean for plant disease
management especially in the soil borne diseases.
Benefits of bio-fungicides
Disease control
Plant growth promoter
Biochemical elecitors of disease
Transgenic plant
Bio remidiation
Technology week celebration 2015@KVK, Navsari Page 32
Bio-control mechanism: These produce antibiotics and toxins especially trichoderma
produces trichothecin and sesquiterpine.
Enhance yield along with quality: Trichoderma boost germination rate. Increases in root and
shoot length solubilizing various insoluble forms of phosphate augmention nitrogen fixing.
Promote healthy growth in early stages. Increases dry matter production.
Recommended: All plants and vegetables
Compatibility: Not with mercurials
SECOND SESSION: Dr. C.B. Patel
Topic: Success story of pyrilla control through bioagent
Lecture emphasis on conservation and development of natural enemy. Pyrilla was a big
problem in Gujarat in early 1990s then with the leader ship of Dr.C.B.Patel and other co
scientists searched the bio control agent for this pest later found out “Epericania” the natural
enemy for this pest. It greatly reduce the pest attack.
THIRD SESSION: Dr. L.V.Ghetiya
Topic: Use of bio-insecticides in agriculture
HNPV, SlNPV, Metarrhizzium anisopleae, Nomurea rileyi and Beaurea bassinia. These are
the most important and commonly used pesticides against insects irrespective of crops. Here
are some specific bio-pesticide which are against that particular order of the insect. HNPV for
Helicoverpa armigera , SlNPV for Spodoptera litura and Nomurea rileyi for lepidopteran
pests. Metarrhizzium anisopleae and Beaurea bassinia can be used directlu or else mixed
along with farm yard manure/ organic manure
FOURTH SESSION: Dr. Prabhu Nayaka
Topic: Neem as Insecticide
Neem is regarded as wonderful crop for agricultural usage especially in controlling the pests
and disease. Each and every tree can be used as insecticidal property. There are some
products which can be directly available in the market. Like NSKE, neem oil..etc NSKE can
also be prepared in the farm house itself and standard procedure was explained. This can be
used as effective insecticide against sucking pests.
