Enhancing chickpea production in rainfed rice fallow lands (RRFL) of Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh states of India following improved pulse production and protection technologies (IPPPT)

  1. Enhancing chickpea production in rainfed rice fallow lands (RRFL) of Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh states of India following improved pulse production and protection technologies (IPPPT) S Pande1 , SK Rao2 , RN Sharma3 , M Sharma1 , R Ghosh1 , R Reddy1 , D Kathal2 , SK Singh2 , MG Usmani2 , A Patel2 , S Mishra3 , A Pachauri3 , and S Varma3 Need and scope: · The per capita availability of pulses as a source of protein has been reduced significantly from 60 gm day-1 to 32.6 gm day-1 in India. To meet the domestic demand the country imports 1.5 Million tons of pulses every year · Among pulses, chickpea offers an enormous potential for cultivation as a second crop on residual soil moisture left after rice in RRFL . 1.

Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya (IGKV), Raipur, 492006, Chhattisgarh, India Selection of sites: rainfed rice fallow lands. Selection of partners: farmers’ orientation. Hands on training: seed conditioning. Objective: · Harnessing Improved Pulse (chickpea) Production and Protection Technology (IPPPT) in the rainfed rice fallow lands (RRFL) of Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh. Mechanization: better crop establishment. Partnership: crop monitoring and sharing IPPPT. Farmers’ participatory varietal selection (PVS). Constraints: emerging diseases and pests. End product: double cropping and income. Outcome: expansion of IPPPT 2008-11.

Components of IPPPT-Chickpea: · Wilt resistant, high yielding, improved chickpea varieties · Seed treatment with fungicides (Thiram, Bavistin) and Rhizobium · Line sowing following zero seed-cum-fertilizer drill · IPM for pod borer · Seed storage at household level through village level seed system.
