Major achievements, their impact and economics
IMPACT OF AGRO TECHNOLOGIES ON AREA, PRODUCTION AND PRODUCTIVITY OFONION
PRODUCTIVITY ENHANCEMENT THROUGH IMPROVED PRACTICES IN ONION (MEAN OF 3 YEARS WITH A SAMPLE SIZE OF 30 FARMERS) Introduction of new variety (ArkaKalyan) in conjunction with INM and IPDM proved technically feasible and economically viable. Apart from enhancement in productivity (40- 50 %) and income ( 30-40 %), it also generated an additional employment of 30 man days per ha
Partial Budgeting to assess benefits of INM, IPDM on improved variety of Onion (ArkaKalyan) over Local variety (Satara red) (Rs/hectare)
Partial Budgeting to assess benefits of INM, IPDM by using improved variety of Onion (Arka Kalyan) in place of Local variety (Satara red) (Rs/hectare) Over all benefit from the Project =Rs.69839*100ha*3years = Rs.2.09 crores
Ornamental Fishery – Impacting the farm women as Profitable IGA
ECONOMICS ORNAMENTAL FISHERY PER ANNUM (Rs.) (For 2 cement tanks storing 500 litres of water each for rearing (around 1320) fish fingerlings per year) Over all benefit from the Project =Rs.10236*70*3= Rs. 21,49,560 (21.50 lakhs)
Comments of Director General, ICAR, New Delhi during his visit to NAIP Hiriyur cluster on 21st Feb 2012.
ECONOMICS OF ARECA LEAF PLATE MAKING ENTERPRISE (RS/ ANNUM) (5 Machines with the capacity to produce 2400 leaf plates per day)
IMPACT OF ANIMAL NUTRITION AND HEALTH CARE ON MILK YIELD CATTLES AND BODY WEIGHT OF SHEEP AND GOAT: INCOME
Partial Budgeting to assess benefits of using Azolla as feed supplement for LOCAL cows and buffaloes (Rs/animal/annum)
Partial Budgeting to assess benefits of using balanced feed ,mineral mixture and health care for CROSSBRED COWS (Rs/animal) - Mean of 2 years’ study
Partial Budgeting to assess benefits of improved sheep farming with mineral mixture, top feeds and health care (Rs./ flock size of 40 /annum) - Mean of 2 years’ study
Recommended livelihood model Fig: One Hectare IFS Model (UAS, Bangalore)
The basic Principles behind this successful proven model/system are: • Conserving as much rainwater in situ as possible (through bunding and contour cultivation) • Harvesting and storing surplus as much runoff water as possible in the farm pond and making best use of the same. • Bringing as much vegetative cover as possible in each and every piece and parcel of one ha with food crops, fodder crops, fibre crops, fuel crops, green manure crops, flowers , vegetables, fruits and forest trees of valuable timber
LESSONS LEARNT Recurrence of drought necessitated drought proofing measures rather than promotion of crop based improved cultivation practices. Weather based crop insurance becomes necessity to cope against the drought Soil and water conservation work undertaken was well appreciated by the farming community due its visible benefits Constant monitoring biogas unit, and continues supply of cow dung are the prerequisites for promotion of biogas and vermicomposting Farmers were unaware of the response to micro nutrients viz , Calcium , Sulphur,Zinc, Boron . The project shown the response through demonstration . The horizontal spread off improved Onion production technologies was determined by market fluctuations. Farmer’s awareness on intercropping raised additional income. The project could not shows the impact of processing and value addition to field crops due to frequent power cuts and difficulty in obtaining the license and mobilizing the deposits Power cuts have hampered the use of processing machineries for processing and value addition Subsidy can enhance Drip irrigation for closed spaced crops (veggies) unlike broad spaced crops due to high initial investment Market linkages forms a crucial link for promotion of enterprises (Milk route with KMF , Ornamental fishery with KFDC and Local private aquarium shops) Formation of Commodity grower associations will strengthen the backward and forward integration and which empowers the farmers in bargaining power , technical know how through inviting expertise and exposure visits and training programmes and increased resource efficiency
SHG PROMOTION AND CBO FORMATION Note: There are 121 SHG’s , 3 Youth groups, 3 JLG’S, one Raithkoota/farmer club and Children club
SHG Financial & internal Loan Details for livelihood Enhancement of the Members
Note : A total of Rs.1,68,62,373 of internal loan is distributed among SHG’s
THANK YOU IFS is a Sustainable mixed farming system that consists of at least two separate but logically interdependent parts of a crop/ tree and livestock enterprises ( animal/fish/ birds) where in the output of one should be the input for another enterprises or the bi-product of one will be the food/feed/fodder for another enterprise ultimately satisfying most of his domestic needs, besides giving economic returns.
