2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

3. INTRODUCTION
Potatoes are a member of the Order Solanaceae which
includes tobacco and tomatoes,as potatoes are
actually swollen underground stems or tubers.
It is the third most important food crop just after rice &
wheat
It is an economical food as it contains 20.6%
carbohydrate,2.1% protein & 0.3% fat
It is a rich source of starch,vitamins (C, B1) & some
essential amino acid like
leucine,tryptophane,isoleucine
Nearly 236 tuber bearing species
4. ORIGIN & HISTORY
Originated in South America in
Andean region
Europeans introduced potato in India
during late 16th century or early 17th
century
By late eighteen to early nineteenth
century are established in Northern
hills of India with some common
names like Phulwa,Gola,Satha
5. Current Scenario
India is producing 41.3 m tons (2011-12) from 1.9 m ha at
an average productivity of 22.1 t/ha.
Potato contributes about 2.48% of the total agricultural
output from only 1.07% of the total cropped area in the
year 2007-08.
2.8 m tons (7.5%) of the produce is processed.
2.96 m tons (8.5%) of the produce is used as seed.
0.1 m tons are exported
Post harvest losses are nearly 16% of the total produce.

for all regions and seasons.
Establishment of Indigenous seed production system –
Seed production shifted from the hills to the northern plains
to cater to the large demand of seed.
Growth in cold stores capacity – Helped in storing and
maintaining the supply chain in off season across the country.
Major factors that contributed to
the growth of potato in India
9. BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
It is vegetatively propagated by
means of tubers
The leaves are alternate &
compound
The root is adventitious,arising from
the base of a sprout
The root growth is restricted upto
20-25 cm
The flower of the potato are in
terminal cluster which contain five
stamens,two celled pistil,five sepals
& five petals
10. CLASSIFICATION
The cultivated potato belongs to the species
Solanum tuberosum & 154 wild species are
generally recognised.The commercial potato
generally belongs to two species:
(1)Solanum tuberosum:It is more common thicker
leafs & wider leaflets
(2)Solanum andigenum:It is not very common
with long stem & narrow leaflets

13. Agro-Climatic Requirement
Growing season Cool season crop
Temperature for germination and
vegetative growth
Between 17 and 25ºC
Temperature for tuberization Between 17 and 19ºC
Crop duration Short (80-90 days)
Photoperiod Potato need long day condition
during growth and short day
condition during tuberization
15. Grading of seed
Seed potatoes are graded into 2 sizes
35 – 45mm
45 – 55mm
35 – 45mm seeds are spaced at 20 – 25cm apart giving
about 60,000 seeds/ha
45 -55mm seeds are spaced at 30 – 35cm apart giving
about 40,000 seeds/ha
16. Seed and Sowing
As the size of the seed increases, the number of ‘eyes’
increases.
Each eye grows into an individual plant.
Sown 10cm below the surface of the ridge.
Potato seeds can be sprouted prior to planting by
placing in shallow boxes and placing them in
greenhouses or well lit sheds.
Commercially seeds are sown using an automatic or
semi-automatic planter.
Planting by hand can be done in small areas.
Spacing-60cm*20 cm.
Seed Rate-20qt/ha.
18. Cropping System
Being a short duration crop it fits well in many
intensive crop rotation.
Some of the important rotations are given
below-
Maize-Potato
Rice-Potato
Soybean-Potato
Maize-Potato-Wheat
Cowpea-Potato-Wheat
19. Field Preparation
The field should be ploughed once 20-25 cm
deep with soil turning plough.
Thereafter, two to three cross harrowing or
four to five ploughings with local plough
should be done.
One or two planking are also needed to
make the surface smooth and well levelled.
Enough moisture is essential at the time of
sowing.
20. Fertiliser Requirements
Apply 20-30 tonnes FYM 2 weeks before planting.
Usual rates of NPK applied are:
- Nitrogen: 180-200 kg/ha
-Phosphorous: 100-150 kg/ha
-Potassium: 100-150 kg/ha
Too much nitrogen leads to high yields which have
poor eating quality
Application is usually decided on after soil tests
Fertiliser is broadcast onto the soil before planting
21. Potato yield and quality can be reduced by
both under and over-irrigation.
Water requirements of potato varies from 350
to 550 mm depending on crop duration,
atmospheric conditions , soil type and variety
under cultivation.
8-12 irrigations are necessary in potato for
obtaining high yield.
Furrow irrigation is most common and popular
method of irrigating potato in plains.
Water management in potato
22. EARTHING UP
Proper earthing up is necessary for proper
development of tubers as depends upon
aeration, moisture availability and proper soil
temperature.
Earthing up also protect the crop from light. Light
exposure causes greening of tubers and leads to
alkaloids (poisonous) forming skins.
Earthing up should be done when the plants are
15 - 22cm high or generally it is done at the time
of top dressing of nitrogenous fertilisers.
23. Weed Management in Potato
The weed control in potato crop is normally done
by manual labour.
Weeds can be controll indirectly by crop rotation
and stubble cleaning.
Deep ploughing also buries weeds.
Earthing up also helps in weed control.
Alachlor (lasso) may also be used as pre-
emergence herbicide.
25. A]LATE BLIGHT OF POTATO
C.O-Phytophthora infestans
SYMPTOMS-
1.Start from tip of the leaf margin
As small black areas which may
extend and kill the foliage.
2.The affected tubers show light
brown patches on the surface.
MANAGEMENT-
1.Foliar spray with RIDOMIL,
MANCOZEB,ZINEB,COC @2glt.
2.Use of resistant varieties such
as kufri jyoti ,kufri navtal.
26. C.O-Alternaria solani
SYMPTOMS-
1.Appearence of target like
Or concentric ring type on
leaf and stem.
2.The canker may cause
Wilting of the plant also.
MANAGEMENT-
1.Removal the crop debries
and destroy them by burning
After harvest.
2.Spray fungicides such as
RIDOMIL ,MANCOZEB,COC
ZINEB @ 2glt.
B.EARLY BLIGHT OF POTATO
27. C.BROWN ROT OF POTATO
C.0-Ralstonia solanacearum
SYMPTOMS-
1.Sudden wilting of the plant.
2.Affected plants show droopy
appearance and the branches
gradually turn bronzy and die.
MANAGEMENT-
1.The seed tuber should be treated
with Aretan 0.5% or 0.2%
streptocyclin solution for 15 to 20
minutes.
28. C.O-Synchytrium endobioticum
SYMPTOMS-
1.The chief symptoms of the disease is
the appearance of tumours or warts of
the tuber.
2.infection of wart appears on the eyes
of the tubers.
MANAGEMENT-
1.Wart affected tubers should not be
planted.
2.Quarantine legislation should be
strictly followed.
D.WART DISEASE OF POTATO
33. Wireworm: use poison baits
Slugs: use slug pellets
Aphids: use insecticides or ladybirds
Potato cyst nematode: Employ crop rotation
Pest And Control
34. Harvesting
Earlies are harvested from early June onwards
Early crops (new potatoes) have low yield but
get high price.
Maincrop are harvested in late September or
October at full maturity.
Haulms are killed off 3 weeks before
harvesting. Use contact herbicide.
In these 3 weeks skin on tuber hardens leads to
less bruising and scratching on harvesting
36. STORAGE
Buildings for storage should be:
Leak proof
Frost proofdiscourage rotting
Well ventilated- Less risk of sprouting and rotting
Forced draught ventilation systems are needed where
stacks exceed 1.8m in height
Easy access for tractors and trailers
Strong, reinforced walls
Potatoes to be sold after February 1st should be treated
with sprout inhibitor or else refrigerated
37. POST HARVEST MANAGEMENT
IN POTATO
Potato being a semi-perishable commodity need
very stringent post-harvest mangement.
Potato chips,French fries, flakes and several other
frozen products are the major processed products.
Out of 36.6 milion tonnes of potato production in
India during 2009-10,2.67 million tonnes were
utilised as raw material by the pocessing industries.
Potato –processing industries can uplift the rural
economy and provide employment to youth.
39. True Potato Seed Technology :-
True Potato seed is very effective & cheap source
of planting material.The shortage of good quality
seed tubers, high cost of seed, transportation
problem, virus infiltration in seed tubers are some
of the problems associated with the use of seed
tubers as planting material. The concept of raising
potato crop from true potato seeds (TPS) or
botanical seeds was conceived in India in the early
fifties by Dr. S. Ramanujan, the founder director
of CPRI.
40. Paired-row concept for Cultivation of
True Potato Seed :-
Paired-row concept for cultivation of True
Potato Seed (TPS) is the innovation in
which TPS are sown in narrow inter space
of 10 cm ×10 cm with 5 cm for plant-to-
plant distance. A total of 100 plants per
m2 were maintained in all cases.
This innovation is less laborious than a
single row system, which need more time.
Very high level of seedling maintenance
is the major utility of this concept.
41. Advantages of using True Potato Seeds as
planting material:-
100 grams is sufficient to cover one hectare instead
of planting 2-2.5 tons of Potato seed tuber.
Being hybrid capable of giving more production.
No cold storage facility is required for storing T.P.S.
Comparatively more resistance to pests and
diseases.
Net profit is more as cost of cultivation is less and
also as per hectare production is much more.
The seed tubers being utilized could be otherwise
used for consumption.
42. Some varieties of true potato seeds:-
Some of the important true potatoes seeds
(TPS) varieties are-
HPS 1/13, HPS II/63, TPS C-3, 92-PT-27 etc
