Period: March2011 – October2011
Position: Unit Officer and Research Scientist, Agricultural Research Station, Sansoli
Employer: Anand Agricultural University, Anand
Duringthis period I have developed the farm of Sansoli and Nenpur. Enrichment of soilsof Sansoli Farmfor growing Shun hemp crop as
a green manuring. These farm land initially Gauchar, undulating, unlevel/sloppy and barren for a long time so there was need to level for
farming. With a view this object, these land was leveled through Bull Dozer and tractor and filling the soils in low land area by transporting
good soils from near tank by tractor and make them level. Majority of land was scrapped so obviously there was a poor in soil fertility. Soil
analysis of different plots has been carried out at University Soil Testi ng Laboratory, Anand and found that majority of the plots have poor
major and micronutrients.I have advised to the field staff to apply castor cakes, fertilizers including micro-nutrients in different plots as per
soil test value. I was the PI of Integrated Farming System (RKVY) project at Sansoli , so I started the implementation of the Project. I have
grown different crops at Sansoli and Nanpur farms to test the suitability of different crops so that in future planning of cr op production
would be decided. Between 1985 and 2006, I have published, primarily as lead author, 20 research papers in research journal articles, 2

School,Jatropha Project and Mega Seed Projecton seed multiplication program. I also had given one additional charge of Tobacco Research
Station, Sanand. My role encompassed handling both farms Chharodi and Sanand. At Chharodi, I have to look farm and dairy mana gement
and look to the activities of Diploma Agricultural Students. I have been given special task given by the Vice Chancellor to look the
development of Chharodi farm. I have taken up seed multiplication program of Rice, Wheat, Lucerne and Fenugreek. I have increased double
income of N.C.Farm, Chharodi of Rs.95.02 lakh in my tenure period (2006-07 and 2007-08) as compared to only Rs.47.64 lakh in past two
years (2004-05 and 2005-06). I have increased the soil fertility of Chharodi farm by soil application of gypsum @ 2.00 MT and 25 Kg ZnSO4
per hectare. It was directly reflected in rice production. I have taken up rice seed production in 2007 and the rice seed production was 2,
16,807 kg from 60.00 hectare land whereas it was only 150331 kg from the same land during 2006. The productivity was increased to the
tune of 44.2 % higher in 2007 as compared to the year 2006. It indicated that farm management significantly influenced the cro p
productivity. Similarly, the milk production enhanced 38 % during 2007 (75714 kg) as compared to 2006 (54272 kg). Chharodi fa rm have
natural grass area of about1600 acres.The total number of natural grassbales in theyear 2007 was 15,308 numbers which wer e 24 & higher

Field trials of nutrient managements were conducted on forage crops for forage production and quality evaluation. The treatment
wise of forage plant green samples of 500 grams of Plant Breeding, Agronomy and Soil Science and Plant Protection disciplines trials were
brought in the Forage Quality Evaluation laboratory and these samples were cut into small pieces with the manually chaff cutter and dried
under shadow. Afterwards these partial dried plant samples were put into oven at 75 C temperature for about 24 hours till constant weight
obtained. These samples were removed from the oven and weigh treatment wise and calculate dry matter content. These samples were
ground in Grinding Mill and estimated N content using Kjeldahls’ method and these N values multiplied by 6.25 gives CP %.The NDF content
was estimated using standard method. The HCN content of forage sorghum was estimated from green samples. The NO -N content, Oxalate
content and IVDMD content estimated from promising entries if forage crops which are in pipe lines or for specific trials where treatments
effectiveness required to be assessed.
I conducted 4 field trials on sorghum, maize and Lucerne on nutrient management and 2 trials were on multi -
micronutrients on corn and sorghum. Two trials each on effect of P and S on forage sorghum yield and quality in 2001-03 and
effect of different sources & levels of S, Zn and B levels on seed production of Lucerne. These trials were repeated for 3 years & pooled
statistical analysiscarried out. The chemical analysisof samples was also carried out. The economics analysiswas also carried out for finding
out the remunerative treatments. These trials recommendations were presented in sub-committees meeting of Agronomy and Soil Science
and in Joint AGRESCO meeting and discussed and final approval. Afterwards, these recommendation finding were given to the Departments
of Agricultureand Extension to reach to the farmers’ door step. Soil samples analysisfor land acquisition in Vadodara and Kheda districts for
