Editor's Notes
- #6 In continuation to previous slide , the population are increasing , though with decreasing rate , the demand for food will continue to increase and the gap between demand and supply for food is widening . Food production is marginally increased from 2001 to 2011 which is only 8.4 MT where as during this period population has rise by 180 million . As per one projection for 2050 , the food production will increase by 14.57% where as population will rise by 32.23 %. The climate change will further negatively impact the food production in next two three decade which is not taken in to consideration here. So SHM can play an important role to reduce this gap to some extent .
- #8 This is the soil fertility map we have developed for Mewat. You can see that except Manganese and Sulphur , the soil is deficient in all macro and micro nutrient .
- #10 The model used in KJ is a demonstration given to all selected farmers in the village . A one acre plot is divided in two parts as control and demo plot. All input including micronutrient , fertilizers, pesticides are given for half acre where as seed is given for complete one acre and remaining half acre farmers are allowed too follow his own traditional practices . In the mean time field days are organized at various stages of crop ( germination, flowering and fruiting ) where in farmers are gathered from entire village and from neighboring villages to see the difference between control and demo plot . This is done for two year and every farmers are engaged with us for four season this will build their confidence that lead to adoption of the practices after the project is withdraw from their village.
- #13 The result shows that if farmers adopt the said PoP , the crop productivity can increase in tune of 15 to 33% depending up on the crops and gross income per acre can increase from 17 to 82 US$ on different crops. Though Mustard has proven to be more beneficial to farmers in terms of net profit since market price of Mustard is very high compare to other crops, where as in Millet , the market value is very less and net profit is very less in spite that productivity is highest in Millet.
- #18 These are the material used for giving scientific package of practices according to soil testing . We have add some of our experience to develop a PoP . Fertilizers recommendation used are very old and that are need to be revised.
- #24 KrishiChetna ( Krishi- agriculture , Chetna- awareness) project started in 2012 with kind support from MisrHytec Seed International, Egypt. This is the first project of IRRAD started out side of Haryana. The project is implemented by IBTADA . The very good things in the project that we are mostly working with women farmers and KrishiSakhi ( a cadre of local women responsible for agriculture extension in her village). We have been providing all technical support to IBTADA staff and KrishiSakhi . Five demo in each villages is given for wheat, mustard and millet crops . I am please to share that for sustainability in the project a revolving fund is created with women federation which will used to meet the demand for micronutrient arise out from the projects.
