  11. Development of new paddy variety Plant Variety Plant Variety • Shri Dadaji Ramaji Khobragade selected and bred a new variety of rice called HMT from Patel 3 variety. • Painstakingly developed this variety over a period of 5 years by experimenting and cultivating it on his own land. • The average yield of the variety is 40 - 45 quintals/hectare Short grains, high rice recovery (80 %) Better smell and good cooking quality. Dadaji Ramaji Khobragade Maharashtra • 62 year old and a farmer by profession. • He studied up to 3rd std. • He born in 1942, Native of • Chandrapur, Maharashtra

  12. Indrasan-a new rice variety Plant Variety Plant Variety • Developed a variety and named it “Indrasan”. • The major distinguishing characters of this variety are: • It is a high yielding variety with spikes of equal • length. • Flower is reddish in color. • Suitable for the Tarsi region. • Least breakage during processing reported by • millers even today.

  13. WHITE FLOWERED CARDAMOM VARIETY Innovator : Mr. K.J. Baby : Idukki, Kerala Scout :Direct Novel features: Pure white flowers (labellum is without purple colour markings) and dark green bold capsules with sturdy, robust tillering, higher and deep root biomass Comparative features: More number of seeds per capsule, oil percentage and higher yield per hectare. Special features:Traits appreciated & implications: 1) White coloured flowers: may reduce the insect-pest infestation 2) Dark green bold capsules with 18 or more no. of seeds per capsule - which leads to higher and profuse yield and fetch higher market acceptability 3) High and deep root biomass – which is a desirable trait for drought endurance. - IISR, Calicut.

  14. A NEW VARIETY OF CARDAMOM – ‘WONDER CARDAMOM’ Innovator: Mr. Sabu Varghese : Idukki, Kerala Scout :PDS Novel features: Branching of panicles, longer seeds, more tillers / clump, high adaptability in on-traditional cardamom belts where altitude and rainfall is lower. Comparative features: High recovery percentage (dry cardamom from fresh) and higher yield under varied growth conditions. Special features:Traits appreciated & implications: 1) Branched panicles: longer and more number of tillers 2) Higher adaptability: location specific selection suitable for lower elevations. 3) Recovery percentage is high (3.8 kg green cardamom after drying gives one kg) whereas in other varieties 5 kg or more gives 1 kg. 4) Yield per plant is 3.0 to 4.0 kg of dry cardamom compared to 2.5-3.0 kg in Njallani- the most popular variety of the region. 5) More tillers per clump (30-50) compared to 25-40 in Njallani.

  15. DISEASE RESISTANT VARIETY OF PEPPER – ‘KUMPUKKAL’ Innovator: Mr. K T Varghese : Idukki, Kerala Scout :PDS Novel features: Resistance against quick wilt, high pungency and higher oil recovery Comparative features: Higher yield and high pungency Special features: Traits appreciated and implications: 1) High pungency and higher oil recovery: Leads to high demand and market acceptability 2) Resistant to quick wilt: Robust growth of plant prevents loses due to quick wilt VIDEO

  16. NEW GRAM VARIETY - ‘SUSHIL LAXMI’ Innovator: Shri Balasaheb Appasaheb Patil : Kolhapur, Maharashtra Scout :Mr. Ramesh Mahajan Novel features: Higher forage yield and stability of yield performance under irrigated as well as un-irrigated conditions. Comparative features: Twin podedness, bold grain size, grain colour and diffusion variety. Special features:Traits appreciated and implications: 1) Twin pods: Higher yield and productivity 2) Stability of performance in diverse ecological conditions: The diffusion and popularity of the variety in the states of Maharastra, Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka makes wider adaptability and stability of the variety.

  17. Potato cultivation in hay made packets (with No land and less water) from Orissa Agriculture Farm Practice • An innovative method of cultivating potato in sacks made from the ropes of paddy hay. • No land is required. A poor farmer can also do it on commercial basis. • No extra water is required. While washing hand and face, the water can be poured into • the packet • Full fertiliser utilisation, due absence of weed • 10-15 kg of potato from one packet.

  18. Paddy seeds embedded in clay balls Agriculture Farm Practice • An innovative method of sowing the paddy by • making earthen pellets containing the seeds • Saves time, money and fertilizer (15 days • advantage.) • Low water consumption • Pellets (mixture of pond soil and paddy seeds) • are prepared and after drying these pellets are • ready for sowing. • Pellets can be sowed manually or with help of a • seed drill.

Mulching of Salvadora persica with FYM – A Community wide practice of the villages Lapkaman and Augnoj Farmers of Augnoj and Lapkaman villages of Ahmedabad district are using Salvadora persica with FYM for raising seedlings of paddy seeds. They also put branches of Salvadora in paddy field to restrict weed population and better growth Advantages: 1) The seedlings are ready for transplantation in 22 days. This process otherwise requires about a month’s time. 2) As this practice involves lesser time, it helps the farmers in dealing better with monsoons, especially if they are irregular. 3) The practice helps attain 100 per cent germination of the seeds thereby reducing the seed requirement per hectare from 12 kg to 8 kg.
