IFPRI- CSISA organized a one day high level policy roundtable on Sustainable Intensification in India’s Risk-Prone Ecologies: Investment strategies for productivity growth, resource conservation, and climate risk management” on May 19, 2014 in New Delhi.
This roundtable, brings together a high-level small group of individuals from the corporate, government, and research sectors to address one of India’s most urgent challenges to food security and economic growth—how to encourage private sector investment in accelerating productivity growth in India’s risk-prone ecologies while simultaneously conserving the environment.
There are solutions already in farmers’ fields and rural markets that respond to these challenges, and this Roundtable will highlight recent advances, for example: innovative financial products and information services for small-scale farmers; diagnostic tools for managing water and soil nutrient scarcity; custom-hired resource-conserving machinery for small farms; crop diversification and high-value marketing strategies; and stress-resistant wheat and rice varieties. But the search for solutions is far from complete. This Roundtable is meant to engage participants in a rapid-fire discussion of recent technical solutions in Indian agriculture, the prospects for policy change, and corporate outlooks for the next five years. The purpose is to help public and private sector players to identify common investment strategies, forge partnerships, and chalk out collaborative efforts to effect technological, market, and policy improvements in India’s risk prone ecologies.

The process involved in sugarcane harvesting is base cutting of sugarcane, detopping, detrashing, bundle making and transporting the harvested cane to sugar mills.
Manual sugarcane harvesting is a very labor-intensive and laborious activity.
About 850-1000 man working hours per hectare is required for harvesting of sugarcane manually. Detopping and detrashing of crop itself takes about two-third of manpower required for harvesting. Delayed harvesting affects the quality of sugarcane, yield, juice quality and sugar recovery.
Mechanical harvesting also makes green cane harvesting possible, which reduces Green House Gas emissions. Sugarcane harvester should be capable to perform the following sequence of functions:
1- Gather and feed the cane toward the functional mechanisms
2- Cut the base of cane stalk.
3- Cut the green top of the cane stalk.
4- Feed cane stalks inside the machine.
5- Chop cane stalks into billets.
6- Blow out green tops and dry leaves.
7- Elevate chopped cane up to be loaded on a vehicle.
These slides explains more about equipment used on sowing and planting various seeds and germinated plants with different sowing methods. Consists of drawings and real pictures for more understanding.

SALT is a diversified farming system which can be considered agroforestry since rows of permanent shrubs like coffee, cacao, citrus and other fruit trees are dispersed throughout the farm plot.
The strips not occupied by permanent crops, however, are planted alternately to cereals (corn, upland rice, sorghum, etc.) or other crops (sweet potato, melon, pineapple, castor bean, etc.) and legumes (soybean, mung bean, peanut, etc.).
In recent years, the talk on Organic Farming is going on. how can we control the weed plants in the field without using the herbicide the question. there are several methods traditionally used and scientifically proved methods are discussed here.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
2. Resource Conservation Technology
Objective:-To learn about various Technologies developed and practiced in Dry-Land
Area to conserve available resources.
Methodology:-The methodology adopted was the visit to the fields where these
RCTs were practiced.
Summer Tillage:-
• Practiced during summer (May - June) after harvesting rabi crop.
• This tillage helps in conserving moisture
• Helps in deep percolation of water in the first showers on the onset of rains.
• Maintain the water table throughout.
3. Bed planting: -
• Helps in in-situ rainwater conservation.
• Maintaining the soil moisture between the gaps on consecutive rainfalls.
• The crop is less lodged in this method with sufficient water and provides good yield.
Zero Tillage:-
• Sowing seeds with minimum soil disturbance.
• Retains Soil Moisture for next crop.
4. Mulching: -
• Paddy straw is generally used for mulching.
• The paddy straw adds to the Carbon Sink.
• The paddy straw or dry grasses are more economically viable
than using plastic sheets.
• This also helps in control of weeds in the field.
5. Modern Agricultural Machinery and Inputs
• This tool is used to level the undulated fields.
• This attached with a tractor and run over the field to level.
• This helps to stop the water runoff due to slope in the field
• Then the water supplied to the field is evenly distributed.
• This helps us to separate grains from the mixture of husk,
grain and dust that is obtained after threshing of
• This is manually operated thus no conventional energy is
required and works efficiently.

6. Seed Cum Fertilizer Drill
• This implement is tractor drawn and it has two compartments on the top
• One filled with seed and the other with fertilizers.
• We can adjust the seed distance and fertilizer dropping rate with the help of
gears present in the machine itself.
Seed Cum Fertilizer Drill
Spring Tine Cultivator
Spring Tine Cultivator
• This is tractor drawn secondary tillage implement
• Mainly used to prepare the field.
• It can also be used for Intercultural Operations.
• The springs help to avoid any obstacles in the field during operation.
7. Thresher
Thresher
• This machine is used to separate the grain from the straw.
• This machine contains blades to cut the stalk and the blowers present
which blow out the lighter stalk and further there is a shaking unit with
holes which removes the impurities such as pebbles.
Rotavator
Rotavator
• This is an implement which is used to prepare the field in single
operation.
• It cuts and mixes the soil to pulverize.
• Wooden log attached with a rope behind the rotavator to level the soil.
• This is a very efficient implement and has a shaft with
L-shaped rotating blades.
8. Bund maker
Disc Harrow
Bund maker
• This implement is tractor drawn and is used to make bunds in
prepared field.
• We can make bunds of any size by adjusting the size of the
frames.
Disc Harrow
• It has two compartment machinery,
• Each compartment has disc plates opposite to each other.
• The distance between the compartments can be modified, as the
gang angle increases the penetration is more and vice versa.
9. Zero Tillage Seed cum Fertilizer Drill
• It helps us to sow seeds in the soil along with fertilizers.
• Sharp furrow openers make fine slits in the soil where the seed has to be dropped.
• This machinery is very useful in conserving soil moisture.
10. Parthenium Weed
Objective:-Familiarisation with PartheniumWeed.
Methodology:-The methodology adopted was to visit the fields having
large population of the weed observing it and discussing about ways to eradicate it.
Introduction: - Parthenium hysterophorus (Asteracae)is commonly known as:-
• Congress Grass (Congress Ghas)
• Carrot Weed (Gajar Ghas)
Origin:- Mexico, America and Argentina
At present Parthenium has invaded about 35 million hectares of Indian Land.
11. Propagation: -
• A single plant can produce 5000-25000 seeds.
• Seeds are very small and light in weight.
Threat to India:-In India this weed has been the greatest source of :-
• Dermatitis
• Asthma
• Nasal-dermal
• Allergy
• Nasal-bronchial
Programme organized by KVK, Mirzapur for Awareness
12. Mexican Beetle
Control of this Weed:-
1.Biological Control:-
This beetle is very host specific and does not harm the other plants.
One adult beetle can defoliate a single Parthenium in 6-8 weeks.
2.Competitive Plants:–
Cassia tora (Chakoda) suppresses the flowering of Parthenium
by the allelochemicals present in them.
3. Mechanical and Manual Methods:-Uprooting before flowering during monsoon when soil is wet.
4. Cultural Management:-Farmers should take fast growing crop like Sorghum and Daincha to supress the growth
. of Parthenium in their field.
5. Chemical Management:- Use of Glyphosate (1 to 1.5%) & Metribuzin (0.3-0.5%)
6. Management by way of Utilization:-Used in NADEP Compost and Vermi Compost Making.
13. Participatory Rural Appraisal
PRA is method for quick appraisal of the resources in the village with the assistance of the villagers
themselves.
• It helps to access the options of how to utilise these resources for sustainable development, to rank the
priorities as the villagers see them, to record all the information and prepare a plan of action.
• It is a very flexible approach to make use of the varying situations
• It can be used to plan, execute ,monitor and Evaluate Programmes
PRA Techniques
• Village Mapping, e.g. Social Map, Resource Map,
• Sampling, e.g. Village Transact, Transact walks, Social Mapping
• Interviewing, e.g. Livelihood Analysis, Ranking
• Visualization, e.g. Venn diagrams, Timelines
