8 Final recommendation for micro level situation

The Bengalgram yield levels are low due to moisture stress and this year protective irrigation was not given due to non availability of water in Khanapur cluster village under Malaprabha command area


Nil


It was not possible to get potential yield in GBM-2 variety due to non-availability of Canal water under command area for protective irrigation on one hand and on another hand, the crop suffered due to moisture stress. Hence, OFT results are not convincing w.r.t to yield potential of GBM-2 variety and there is need to repeat this OFT during 2017-18.

action photographs. The Success Stories / Case Studies need not be restricted to the reporting period).

I) IFS APPROACH TRIPLED THE INCOME OF A SMALL FARMER

Shirunja is a small village in Gadag block located 22 kms from KVK. The village was adopted by KVK

during 2013-14. Majority of the farm families belongs to small farmers’ categories. Shri. Kotrappa

Kappattanavar, aged 58 years is one of the small farmer participated in KVK’s Front Line Demonstration

programme on Integrated Farming System. The farmer owns 5 acres of land having red sandy loam soil

type. He used to cultivate only field crops viz., maize and Bt. Cotton with limited irrigation through borewell.

Income from field crops was not remunerative to the farmer due to high cost of cultivation and fluctuating,

market prices. He used to get an income of Rs.70,000 to 80,000 from 5 acre land and dairy enterprise.

KVK studied the resources of the farmer and introduced Integrated Farming System in his farm during

2013-14. Based on the resources available with the farmer, KVK introduced mango (25 no.), cashewnut

(20 no.), coconut (20 no.), Grasses (Hybrid Napier, Rhodes, Guinea), azolla unit, and poultry birds (10 no.).

Along with these components, KVK introduced vegetable cultivation as an intercrop in mango and

cashewnut. These components were established very well in his farm under KVK guidance.

During 2013-14 Mr. Kotrappa earned an income of Rs. 1.50 lakh from vegetable cultivation (Tomato

and Coriander), field crops of Maize & Bt.cotton, Poultry and Dairy enterprises. This has motivated the

farmer to take up some more IFS components. During 2014-15, KVK introduced vermicompost under FLD

programme and sericulture enterprise with the support of a scheme of Sericulture Department of

Government of Karnataka. Under the scheme, the farmer planted 2 acres of V-1 variety of mulberry and

constructed a rearing shed. During the same year, the farmer produced 10 tonns of Vermicompost and

used it for his farm and thus, he reduced the cost incurred on purchase of chemical fertilizers. He also

harvested 2 crops of cocoons @ 50kg and 60kg, earning an income of Rs.30,000. He also started selling

fodder slips to other farmers. His income from dairy unit of 2 cows also increased due to feeding of green

fodder and azolla.

His total income during 2014-15 from sericulture enterprise unit, dairy, vegetable cultivation

(coriander, cucumber ridgegourd, brinjal, tomato) and field crops was Rs. 2.00 lakhs. In the subsequent

years of 2015-16 and 2016-17 the farmer’s income was significantly increased from sericulture enterprise

as 5-6 crops were harvested in a year. His income from vegetables cultivation, viz., coriander, cucumber

and ridgegourd was also enhanced with the advisory support from KVK scientists. During 2015-16, the

farmer’s total income from various earning components was Rs. 2.50 lakhs. Shri. Kotrappa attribute the

success to adoption of various IFS components under the guidance of KVK. He says that his income would

to be further increased in the coming years once the mango, cashewnut and coconut plantations start

bearing. His farm has become a model in the village as many farmers visit his farm asking for advice for

adoption of IFS components. He says that integration of various resources of Integrated Farming System

coupled with efficient utilization of human resources in the form of family labour is the key factor for his

successful farming. Further he says that, continuous technical support from KVK helped him to triple the

income from his five acres land.

II) DAIRY ENTERPRISE AND FODDER SLIPS BANK OF A TRIBAL FARMER

Nabhapur in Gadag block is a small village inhabited by tribals, locally known as Lambanis. The

village has 138 households. Agriculture supported by dairy is the primary occupation of the people. Income

from agriculture was irregular due to vagaries of Monsoon and dairy enterprise was not as much flourished

till KVK made interventions in 2011-12 through promotion of Grass and Fodder crops under Front Line

Demonstrations. Mr. Thavarappa Vasanappa Nayak is one of the farmer participated in FLD programme on

fodder and grass. He owns 4 acres of irrigated land. He had one Jersey cow and planted 10 guntas of

grasses of Hybrid Napier, Rhodes, Guinea and Signal grass under the guidance of KVK. He has also

undergone the training at KVK on scientific dairy management practices. He has also established Azolla

unit. Feeding of grass and Azolla to his only cow has increased the milk yield from 6 liters to 10 liters per

day. Within a year, he earned an income of Rs. 70,000/-. This has encouraged him and he purchased 2

jersey cows and one buffaloe during 2012-13 and also extended his grass and fodder unit to 20 gunta.

When asked him about balanced nutrition in milch animals Mr. Nayak says that, apart from feeding

grass he also feed “Dani mixture”, feed prepared locally from Ragi, Jowar and Maize grains grown on his

farm. Further, he says that balanced feeding has helped him to raise his income as animals attain heat

regularly and conception is timely. At present, he is getting an annual income of Rs.2.10 lakhs from the

sale of milk, curd and butter. His son and wife assist him in the dairy activities. He says that dairy is

profitable when family members work in the enterprise and adopt scientific management practices.

Mr. Nayak has not only improved his income from dairy enterprise but also responsible for spread of

grass technology within Nabhapur and surrounding villages. During the period from 2012-2013 to 2015-16,

he has provided grass slips to 21 farmers belonging to 17 villages of the district. He has provided the grass

slips free of cost. Apart from supplying grass slips, he also shared his experience with other dairy farmers.

He says that most of dairy owners in Nabhapur have taken grass slips from him. His farm has become

fodder slips bank for other dairy entrepreneurs. When asked about his future plans, he says that water is

the limiting factor for further expansion of the unit. However, he is hopeful of good rains that might improve

his ground water and would think of expanding of his dairy unit.

III) CASHEWNUT: A CASH CROP FOR GADAG DISTRICT – SUCCESS STORY OF A FARMER:

Krishi Vigyan Kendra is not sparing any technology that addresses the livelihood constraints of farm

families caused by frequent occurrence of agriculture drought in Gadag district. After succeeding

promotion of dry land mango cultivation that has brought smile on the faces of the farmers of red soil area,

KVK has introduced cashewnut cultivation in the district. The crop is new to the district. KVK consulted

Scientists of ICAR-Central Coastal Agricultural Research Institute, Goa and Directorate of Cashew

Research, Puttur and planted cashewnut in 3 acres in KVK’s Instructional Farm in the year 2011-12.

There has been a lot of discussion between KVK Scientists and farmers regarding the adaptability and

profitability of cashewnut cultivation. The crop was established well in KVK’s Instructional Farm.

68

Shri Siddappa Karikatti, an innovative farmer of Hulkoti village in Gadag district who was impressed by

the cashewnut orchard in KVK’s Farm, introduced cashewnut (Variety:Ullal-1) in his farm during 2012-13

as an inter crop in intra row spacing of his 6 years old mango orchard of 3-32 acres. A total of 180

cashewnut grafts were planted. KVK facilitated him to procure grafts from Directorate of Cashewnut

Research, Puttur and provided the guidance of cashewnut crop cultivation. After seeing the successful

establishment of cashewnut, the farmer introduced another 100 plants as an inter crop in his adjacent

mango orchard of 2 acres during 2014-15.

It is interesting to note that there is no irrigation source for the farmer. The crop is established very well

under rainfed situation with supplementary watering through his own water tankers. The water was

brought from nearby Chikkahandigol village tank. Mr. Karikatti says that 18 tankers (3000 litres capacity)

are needed to water the plants once. He says that during establishment stages of crop during fist year, he

used to water 5-6 times in a year. Now the crop has been established very well and watering is given only

during flowering and fruiting stages, he says. There are some 80 gaps in the orchard which have been

filled by planting Vengurla-4 variety brought from Fruit Research Station, Vengurla, Maharashtra State.

Apart from harvesting good yield from Mango crop, Mr. Karikatti harvested first batch of cashewnut fruits

during 2014-15. On an average he harvested 1 kg of raw fruits per plant. A total of 3.3 quintals of raw

fruits were harvested. He sold the fruits to the traders in Belgaum city at the rate of Rs.104/kg, thus

earning an income of Rs.46,000 from 3-32 acres. During the subsequent year, 3.70 quintals of raw fruits

were harvested. Nuts were sold at Rs.150/kg, earning an income of Rs.59,000/-. Mr. Karikatti says that

this is a good income considering drought situation during 2014-15 and 2015-16. Apart from income from

cashewnut, he got good income from Mango (Rs.64,000/-) and intercrop of Greengram crop (Rs.70,500/-)

When asked about comparison of cashewnut cultivation with that of mango, Mr. Karikatti says that,

cashew is hardy crop, less labour intensive and minimum incidence of pest of disease. The fruiting season

of both cashew and mango are same and hence there is least maintenance cost. Further, he says that

mango is an alternative bearer and cashew is regular bearer. Profitability in cashewnut cultivation is more

as prices are stable compared to mango and mango fruits are perishable in nature whereas cashewnuts

can be stored for longer period.

The profitability in cashewnut can be further enhanced if processing facilities of raw fruits are made

available. The apple which is left unutilised can be processed into different value added products, he says.

Looking into the successful cultivation of cashewnut by Mr. Siddappa Karikatti and in KVK Farm, 60

acres of area has been brought under cashewnut cultivation by the farmers in Hulkoti and surrounding

villages under the guidance of KVK Scientists. Further, KVK motivated these farmers to organised in to

an association named “Cashewnut Farmers Association”. KVK has been guiding the association members

in cashewnut production technology and value addition activities. In the years to come it is expected that

more area would be brought under cashewnut cultivation and more profitability through processing and

value addition activities.

69 10.D. Give details of innovative methodology or innovative technology of Transfer of Technology

developed and used during the year

Innovative methodology of TOT developed and used during the year

1) TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY THROUGH AWARD WINNING PROGRESSIVE FARMERS TO

OTHER FARMERS

KVK with the support from University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad and Department of

Agriculture, Gadag organised an unique training programme involving Award Winning Progressive

Farmers as Resource Persons for the training. KVK identified 8 Farmer Resource Persons who are

expert in the area of organic farming, integrated farming system, crop diversification, dry land horticulture

and fodder cultivation. These farmers trained 60 other farmers in two batches. The 3 days duration

training programme involved 1 day for orientation on the innovative activities adopted by the award

winning farmers. Then field visits were organised for 2 days to the farms of Progressive Farmers. This

programme has helped the farmers to know the innovative farming method adopted by the Progressive

Farmers.

2) TECHNOLOGY UPSCALING THROUGH FARMERS PRODUCER ORGANISATIONS

Government Institutions, NABARD and other Agencies have been promoting Farmers Producer

Organisations, Farmers Associations, Farmers’ Interest Groups / Commodity Groups to address the

issues confronted by the farming community. Three Farmers’ Producer Companies under the aegis of

Department of Horticulture and NGOs have been established in Gadag district comprising of 2000 farmers

spread in 23 villages. There are 8 Village Farmers Associations promoted by NGO having 1734 member

farmers. KVK has also promoted 107 Farmer Interest Groups / Commodity Groups in 35 villages

comprising of 1935 farmers.

KVK has been utilising these Forums of Farmer Producer Organisations for upscaling of frontline

technologies. KVK has organised Front Line Demonstrations in crops and enterprises through FPOs,

conducted need based on and off campus training programmes for members of FPOs. KVK issued soil

health cards to FPO members and developed business plans in seed production of onion and supplied

foundation seeds. Exposure visit of FPO on Horticultural crops was organised to KAPPEC, Hubli for

learning on post harvest management of Mango fruits and marketing. Diagnostic visits and farm advisory

services were also being rendered to FPO members. KVK also developed Mango production manual and

other technical bulletins and provided to FPOs. About 3000 members of FPOs, FIGs/CIGs have

registered for Kisan Mobile Advisory services of KVK. There has been a wide spread adoption of

technologies by FPO members. Technology related to dryland mango cultivation, vermicomposting,

Azolla & fodder cultivation, cycle weeder, spiral separator, improved seeds of greengram, bengalgram,

onioin and appropriate plant protection measures have been widely adopted by members. This

mechanism of transfer of technology of KVK has not only upscaled the frontier technologies but also

enhanced the extent of reach of KVK in the district.

3) TOT THROUGH KVK-ATMA LINKAGE PROGRAMME:

KVK has extended it’s extension reach in the district through development of collaborative mechanism

with ATMA scheme. Monthly interactive meeting between KVK and ATMA staff is held at KVK. ATMA staff

bring field level problems from ATMA villages and discuss with the KVK scientists. Relevant literatures

developed by KVK are supplied to ATMA staff as well as for farmers in ATMA villages. Apart from this

mechanism, off-campus training programmes during both Kharif and Rabi season are held in all ATMA

adopted villages for Farmers Interest Groups (FIGs). Regular field visits are also organised for addressing

field level problems.

4) TOT THROUGH EXTENSION FUNCTIONARIES OF ZILLA PANCHAYAT:

Under National Rural Employment Guarantee Programme, 75 Bare Foot Technicians have been recruited

recently by Zilla Panchayat, Gadag. KVK has organised one day orientation programme for Bare Foot

Technicians in composting, vermicomposting and azolla production. Method demonstrations were

organised on vermicompost and azolla production. The objective of the programme was to create

awareness among the farmers on vermicompost and azolla production technology through Bare Foot

Technicians. They were also provided relevant literatures on the technology. These Bare Food

Technicians have become Resource Person for the farmers seeking information on vermicompost and

azolla production.

11.B. Cases of large scale adoption

1) Profitable intercropping system of Maize + Redgram (5:1) for drylands

Gadag is the drought prone district that comes under the agro-climatic zone of Northern Dry

Zone-3 and Region-2 of Karnataka State. The climate of the district is semiarid and annual rainfall varies

from 450-650 mm. Agricultural droughts are very common with probability of more than 70 percent. The

rainfall is usually erratic and is characterised by long dry spells in between two rains during Kharif

season. This affects the successful crop production of major crops like maize, greengram, groundnut,

onion, rabi sorghum etc in the district.

To address this climatic variation and in order to solve productivity constraint, KVK introduced

intercropping system of Maize + Redgram (5:1) in the year 2015-16 for 20 farmers in 20 Acre area in

Mahalingapur village of Gadag block. This intercropping demonstration has shown good impact on the

farmers even in severe drought situation. The net returns obtained from maize sole crop (Local Check)

was Rs.712/ha and from maize+redgram (5:1) intercropping system (Demonstration), it was

Rs.11374/ha. The maize + redgram (5:1) intercropping system has become economically viable than

sole crop of maize in dry land situation characterised by long dry spells and erratic rains. KVK

popularised this intercrop technology through training programmes and extension activities. During 2016-

17 there was large scale adoption of technology in Mahalingapur cluster of villages in Gadag block and

76

Kochalapur cluster of villages in Ron block. About 40 percent of farmers cultivating sole crop of maize

have switched over to maize + redgram intercropping system in KVK adopted villages.

2) Large scale adoption of onion seed production activities

Onion is the major vegetable crop cultivated in Gadag district of Karnataka State. It is mainly grown in

Kharif season under rainfed situation. Since many years farmers have been

using traditional Bellary Red variety. There has been a gradual decrease

in the productivity and quality of bulb. ICAR-KVK, Gadag in Karnataka

plunged in to action and made problem-cause analysis which revealed

that traditional variety is susceptible to bulb rot (Fusarium oxysporum) and

Alternaria purple blotch disease (Alternaria porri) making heavy loss to farmers.

Looking in to the importance of the crop to the district economy, KVK conducted On-Farm Testing and

assessed Arka Kalyan variety released by ICAR-IIHR, Bengaluru for

performance against bulb rot and purple blotch disease and higher

productivity. The variety was tested in 6 farmers’ fields for 3 years

period. The results of assessment revealed that incidence of purple

blotch in case of Arka Kalyan variety was reduced by 50 percent

compared to Bellary red variety and bulb rot was almost nil in case of

Arka Kalyan variety. As a result, 26 per cent increase in yield was noticed in case of Arka Kalyan variety.

The participant farmers were of the opinion that the Arka Kalyan variety is very much superior with respect

to tolerance to bulb rot & purple blotch disease and has attractive bulbs and marketing edge over Bellary

red variety. The results of On-Farm Testing encouraged KVK and the variety was introduced in to

farmers’ fields through Front Line Demonstrations in different cluster villages.

The variety performed very well under Front Line Demonstrations

with average productivity of 14.70 ton per hectare compared to 10.7 ton

per hectare in local check. There has been an increase in yield ranging

from 28 to 74 percent. During last 8 years, the variety has been introduced

through Front Line Demonstration in 135 hectares involving 216 farmers in

23 villages.

The results of Front Line Demonstrations and the subsequent extension activities of KVK created lot

of demand for seeds of Arka Kalyan. KVK initiated seed production activity in its farm. Every year KVK

produce 8-10 quintals of seeds in its Instructional Farm. To meet the increasing demand for seeds, KVK

identified 25 onion seed production farmers and trained them on seed production techniques and supplied

them Foundation Seeds for seed multiplication. Every year these seed production farmers produce 70-80

quintals of Arka Kalyan variety seeds under the guidance of KVK Scientists.

Apart from these, 25 onion seed production farmers, there are also many farmers who directly take

bulbs from KVK and take up onion seed production activities. The activity onion seed production has

become the major source of income for the farmers.

77 11.C. Details of impact analysis of KVK activities carried out during the reporting period

1) LIVELIHOOD SECURITY THROUGH MANGO BASED FARMING SYSTEM

IN DROUGHT PRONE GADAG DISTRICT

INTRODUCTION: Farming continue to be the life line of Indian economy as large chunk of population engage

directly or indirectly for their livelihood. Seventy per cent of cultivable land falls in rainfed ecosystem. The last

2-3 decades has witnessed severe climatic aberrations resulting in droughts, unseasonal rains, uneven

distribution of rainfall and floods, thus making agriculture a risky profession. Despite rapid inroads made in

agricultural research and development, rainfed farming has become a challenging profession for farmers.

Successful farming depends on efficient utilization of precious and vital natural resources through adoption of

viable technologies. Beside cropping systems and production technologies, alternate strategies like promotion

of agri-horti system along with skillfull integration of various measures are required for drought proofing in

order to bring income security to the farmers in rainfed eco-system.

GADAG DISTRICT SCENARIO: Gadag district in Karnataka State is predominantly an agrarian district. The

district falls in Northern Dry Zone-III and receives rainfall from South-West monsoons from June-September

and Noth East monsoon from October-November. Average rainfall of the district is 612 mm which is erratic

and ill distributed. As per the records of drought monitoring cell of Government of Karnataka, recurring

agricultural droughts are common with a probability of 70-80 per cent of years. Long dry spells in Kharif

season and receding soil moisture in Rabi season are the characteristic features of the drought resulting in

adverse effect on sustainability of crop productivity.

SITUATION ANALYSIS IN RED SOIL BASED CROPPING SYSTEM: Nearly 30 per cent of soil type in

Gadag district is red sandy loam. Farmers mainly cultivate spreading groundnut to the extent of 30,000-35,000

hectares in red soil during Kharif season. The average productivity of groundnut is 6-7 quintal per hectare.

The reasons for low productivity are moisture stress, high cost of production, high incidence of pest and

diseases and non-availability of labours. Thus spreading groundnut cultivation in red soil area has become

non-remunerative and further farmers cannot take up Rabi crops unlike in black soil areas where farmers take

two crops in a year.

STRATEGIES ADOPTED BY KVK: In the backdrop of constraints faced by the farmers in red soil based

cropping system, KVK developed strategies and interventions. Major focus of KVK was on promotion of

mango cultivation in rainfed red soil lands with a long term objective to bring income security to the farmers in

red soil based cropping system. The strategies followed by KVK is presented in Figure-1

INTERVENTIONS OF KVK

1. ORGANISATION OF SENSITIZATION PROGRAMMES IN THE VILLAGES: From 2001-02 onwards, KVK

started sensitisation programmes in the villages on importance of crop diversification with emphasis on rainfed

mango cultivation. During the period from 2001-02 to 2005-06 , KVK organised 36 sensitisation programmes

with participation of 791 farmers. These programmes created lot of impact in terms of farmers interest to take

up crop diversification activities. Apart from sensitisation programmes, seminars and workshops were also

organised on crop diversification.

2. TRAINING PROGRAMMES ON DRY LAND HORTICULTURE: The sensitisation programmes organised

in the villages has motivated the farmers to plan for mango cultivation. KVK organised training programmes

for farmers on dry land horticulture with focus on mango cultivation. The concept was new to the farmers. An

integrated training module was developed by KVK. Soil and water conservation, rainwater harvesting through

digging of trenches, orchard layout, pit digging and filling, selection and planting of grafts, staking,

management of pest and diseases, and intercropping systems in mango orchard were the components of

training module. During the training programmes, exposure visits were organised to successful rainfed mango

orchards established by few farmers under the guidance of KVK. Yearwise training programmes organised by

KVK during the period from 2005-06 to 2015-16 is presented in figure-2

Figure-2: Training Programmes Organised on Dry Land Horticulture.

During the 10 year period from 2006-07 to 2015-16, KVK organised 98 training courses on dry land

horticulture for 2733 farmers.

79 3. FRONT LINE DEMONSTRATIONS: During initial period, KVK motivated few progressive farmers near

vicinity of KVK for establishment of mango orchard. KVK provided all the advisory services viz,. layout of

orchard, selection of grafts, planting method, staking, post planting care, pest and disease management, post

harvest management and facilitation for availing benefits from schemes of State Department of Horticulture.

These mango orchards served as models for other farmers. From 2010-11 onwards under Front Line

Demonstrations programme, KVK organised FLDs in 24 hectares involving 54 farmers spread across the

district. These FLDs have created lot of positive impact on farmers to take up mango cultivation. The FLDs

organised by KVK is depicted in Figure-3.

Figure-3: Front Line Demonstrations Organised on Farmers’ Field

4. PRODUCTION AND SUPPLY OF MANGO GRAFTS: Production and supply of quality mango grafts is one

of the important intervention of KVK. Mainly Alphonso variety of mango grafts were produced and supplied to

the farmers. During the period from 2006-07 to 2015-16, KVK supplied 38,968 grafts to 419 farmers. Apart

from this, KVK facilitated many farmers to get mango grafts from Regional Fruit Research Station, Vengurla of

Konkan Krishi Vidya Peeth, Maharastra State. The yearwise supply of mango grafts provided to farmers by

KVK is given in figure-4

Figure-4: Supply of Mango Grafts to Farmers

5. FARM ADVIOSRY SERVICES: Post training interventions in the form of farm advisory services were

rendered to farmers who have started establishment of mango orchard. The various farm advisory services

viz., orchard layout, planting technique, rain water harvesting and conservation, plant protection were given by

KVK. Further, KVK rendered advisories on various schemes of State Department of Horticulture for promotion

of mango cultivation. The figure-5 provides the details of advisory services rendered by KVK.

6. CONVERGENCE WITH LINE DEPARTMENTS/ORGANISATONS: Convergence and linkages with the

schemes of line departments and organisations involved in crop diversification efforts was the major

intervention of KVK for promotion of mango cultivation. KVK established linkages with State Horticulture and

Watershed Departments, National Horticultural Mission and Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment

Guarantee Programme (MGNREGP). KVK also developed linkages with Non-Government organisations viz.,

Reliance Foundation and Desphande Foundation for promotion of mango through providing technical support

and farm advisories.

OUTCOME AND IMPACT OF INTERVENTIONS

1. ADOPTION OF RAINFED MANGO CULTIVATION AND AREA EXPANSION: Comprehensive

interventions of KVK through awareness programmes, training activities, Front Line Demonstrations, advisory

services, supply of mango grafts and convergence with line departments has resulted into a positive outcome

in terms of adoption of rainfed mango cultivation by the farmers of the district. There has been a significant

increase in area under mango. The details of area spread in the district is presented in Figure-6

Figure-6: Yearwise Expansion of Area Under Mango in Gadag District

The information depicted in figure-6 reveals that during the period from 2007-08 to 2016-17 the area under

mango is spread to the extent of 1734 hectares involving 404 farmers. When this data is compared with bench

2. ECONOMICS OF MANGO CULTIVATION: Mango cultivation is economically viable for the farmers as

compared with spreading groundnut which is mainly cultivated in red soil area during Kharif season. Mango

establish very well in red soil and gives returns even during agricultural drought years. This is in contrast to

the returns from spreading groundnut which is non-remunerative for the farmers.

Mango starts bearing after 5

th year of planting and economic yield starts from 8-10 years depending on

management practices. During the first 8-10 years, intercrops can be taken. The comparison of economics

between spreading groundnut and mango cultivation is presented in Table-3. It reveals that farmers used to

get an average net income of Rs.21,000 per hectare from spreading groundnut under rainfed situation. After

KVK intervention through promotion of mango cultivation, farmers are getting an average net income of

Rs.38,000 per hectare. Farmers who retain the orchard for own marketing gets an average net income of

Rs.80,000 per hectare. The same is depicted in Table-3.

82 3. INCOME REALISED FROM MANGO CULTIVATION: It is the common practice by the mango growers to

lease out mango orchards after mango crop starts flowering during the month of November to December.

This is mainly because of labour problem, watch and ward of orchard and marketing of fruits. Out of 1734

hectares of area expansion during the year 2007-08 to 2016-17, 586 hectares of mango orchards

belonging to 218 farmers are in the age group of 5-9 years. During 2015-16, these 218 farmers have

earned an average net income of 181.41 lakhs. The details are presented in Table-4

4. IMPROVEMENT IN THE QUALITIY OF MANGO ORCHARDS: KVK through its integrated approach and

outreach programmes has been able to influence a large number of mango growers to stop using

chemical fertilizers and pesticides in their orchards. As a result, area under organic cultivation of mango is

increasing every year. Apart from this, growers are not using carbide for ripening process. They use

locally available grass for ripening of mango fruits. This has significantly improved the quality of mango

fruits and attracted the attention of consumers as well as traders.

5. FORMATION OF MANGO GROWERS ASSOCIATION: It was observed by KVK that 40 to 50 per cent of

the income from mango orchard is taken away by the middle men who took mango orchards on lease

basis from orchard owning farmers. KVK motivated mango growers to form an Association to take up

direct marketing of fruits. During 2014-15 Mango Growers Association was formed in Gadag block under

the guidance of KVK. The Association has 143 mango growers. During the same year, KVK organised

Mango Mela in Gadag city (District Headquarter) and facilitated direct marketing of fruits from producers to

consumers. KVK guided the mango growers on quality production of fruits. Month long Mango Mela was

very successful and brought mango growers close to consumers. This event has motivated the mango

growers to join Mango Growers Association. The Association with support from KVK provides technical

products, advisories, training and marketing support to its members.

6. PROJECTED INCOME FROM MANGO ORCHARDS: Mango is a perennial crop and as the age of plant

increases, the productivity of plant increases. Thus providing much needed income security to farmers.

Projected mango income of mango growers for five years (2016-17 to 2020-21) is made based on the age

of plants, average management practice and the average anticipated prices for the produce.

The data is predicted based on the bearing of fruits from 5

th year onwards from the mango orchards

established by farmers from 2007-08 to 2016-17. The estimated projection of income from mango

orchards is presented in Table-5

2020-21 1098 590 5.0 5490 50,000 27.45

TOTAL 77.50

The Table-5 reveals that the projected mango income from 2016-17 to 2020-21 would be Rs.77.50 crores.

This is going to provide a much needed income security to the mango growers of Gadag district.

CONCLUSION: There has been significant change in the income of farmers owing to adoption of rainfed

mango cultivation. This is evident from the income realised by the farmers from mango cultivation in

comparison with spreading groundnut. Mango growers are also aware of production of quality fruits and

profitability from direct marketing. Mango Growers Association is in the process of developing a mechanism

for export of mango fruits for realising higher profitability. In the years to come, mango growers would be

contributing much to the district economy.

2) ESTABLISHMENT OF FODDER BANKS: AN IMPACT ANALYSIS

INTODUCTION:-

Livestock plays a vital role in the livelihoods of farmers. It is the supporting income source to the

agriculture profession. Nowadays it has become major source of regular income. The livestock sector

especially dairy holds the greatest profits for sustainable development of rural economy. But core constraint

that is confronting the dairy sector is low output of milk per animal. Over dependence on crop residue for feed

and lack of quality green fodder are the major reasons for low output of milk production.

Among the livestock enterprise, dairy is the major livelihood support system next to agriculture in

Gadag district. Total cattle population in the district is 238772. Though, buffalo forms the major share of total

cattle population, rearing of improved breed of cross bred cows is picking up in the district. The dairy farmers

in Gadag district are largely unaware about fodder and grass cultivation. KVK felt it important to make dairy

farmers aware about fodder and grass crops so as to enhance the milk productivity. In this direction, KVK

made interventions through organisation of Front Line Demonstrations on improved varieties of fodder and

grass crops with an objective of enhancing the milk productivity and to develop fodder banks in different

locations of Gadag district for serving as a source of planting material for other farmers. The demonstrations

have been laid out in the cultivated land, on the field bunds, along the water ways and in between the tree

rows depending on the requirement of individual farmer’s livestock composition.

84

KVK’S INTERVENTIONS FOR PROMOTION OF FODDER AND GRASS CROPS:

1. FRONT LINE DEMONSTRATIONS: KVK organised Front Line Demonstrations on improved varieties

of grass and fodder crops on farmers’ fields. Since 2011-12 to 2015-16, KVK conducted Front Line

Demonstrations in 11 villages of Gadag district involving 42 farmers. Grass species of Hybrid Napier,

Guinea and Rhodes grass were demonstrated and these FLDs were developed as fodder banks. The

details are presented in Table:1

4. ADVISORIES, PROJECT REPORTS AND CONSULTANCY:

Many of the youths who have undergone training at KVK started dairy enterprise. KVK supported

these youths in terms of preparation of project reports, supplied them grass slips and provided

continuous advisories. During 2012-13 to 2015-16, KVK has prepared and provided project reports to

48 youths for establishment of dairy enterprise in the district.

IMPACT ANALYSIS OF KVK INTERVENTIONS

METHODOLOGY:

i. During the 5 years period from 2011-12 to 2015-16, KVK promoted grass and fodder technology

through Front Line Demonstrations to 42 farmers. Out of these farmers, only 22 farmers have

maintained the fodder bank. Rest of the farmers discontinued due to shortage of water. These 22

farmers were selected for studying the impact analysis.

ii. About 48 farmers have taken project reports along with advisory and grass slips from KVK. Out of

these farmers, 28 farmers have maintained the dairy enterprise and these 28 farmers were also

included for impact analysis.

iii. A total of 50 farmers/ youths forms the sample for impact analysis

iv. A simple structured schedule was developed and the information was collected during ex-trainee

meeting of these dairy farmers. Apart from this, focussed group discussion was held with the farmers.

RESULTS OF IMPACT ANALYSIS:

i. GEOGRAPHICAL PROFILE OF DAIRY FARMERS: Majority of the dairy farmers (42

percent) belongs to Gadag block followed by Shirahatti block (18 percent), Ron and Mundaragi block

(Each 16 percent). The details are presented in Table -4

iii. SIZE OF FODDER BANKS MAINTAINED BY THE DAIRY FARMERS: Majority of the farmers

have maintained and increased the size of the fodder bank comprising of grass varieties of

Hybrid Napier, Guinea grass and Rhodes grass. The dairy farmers preferred to increase the

area under Hybrid Napier grass as it is high yielder. Nearly 50 percent of farmers have the

fodder bank having the size between 6-10 guntas. There have been also considerable increase

in area under guinea and rhodes grass (Table - 6)

vi. GRASS SLIPS SOLD BY THE DAIRY FARMERS: Major focus of KVK was to develop the fodder

banks as the source of planting material for other farmers. All the FLD farmers and consulting dairy

farmers were oriented by KVK regarding fodder bank concept. Out of the 50 respondent dairy

farmers, 36 of them were able to supply grass slips to 464 other farmers in Gadag district as well as

other district farmers. The details are presented in Table: 9

vii. INCOME REALISED THROUGH SALE OF GRASS SLIPS: The fodder banks promoted by KVK

have not only served as a source of planning material, but also earned income for the fodder bank

owners. Perusal of the Table-10 reveals that about 23 dairy farmers have earned an income

between Rs.10,000 to Rs.20,000 during last two years followed by 15 farmers earning less than

Rs.10,000 and 10 farmers between Rs.20,000-30,000

CONCLUSION: The Fodder banks promoted by KVK have not only enhanced the milk productivity of milch

animals but area increased the profitability in dairy enterprise. The objective of establishment of fodder bank is

achieved by KVK as these fodder banks have served as the source of planting material. Out of 50 dairy

farmers taken for the study 36 farmers have supplied grass slips to 464 farmers of Gadag district as well as

other districts. These farmers have also earned considerable income from sale of grass slips.
