2.2 Description of Agro-climatic Zone & major agro ecological situations (based on soil and

topography)

S. No Agro-climatic Zone Characteristics

1 North Eastern Zone The district lies between 12º 10’ and 13º 15’ Northern latitudes

and 79º 15’ and 80º 20’ Eastern longitudes. The average annual

precipitation is 1104.4 mm with 52 per cent benefit from

North-East monsoon and 41 per cent from South-West

monsoon and the remaining 7 per cent from summer showers

and winter rains respectively. The mean maximum and

minimum temperatures are 37.9oC and

18.5oC respectively. The area has semi-arid tropical climate.

The hot climate prevails during the month of March-April and

the slightly cold climate from December to February, the rest of

years belong to humid climate. Tanks are the most important

source of irrigation in this zone closely followed by wells. .

Due to tank and well irrigation, wetland and garden land

cropping systems are in vogue though major area is under dry

land agriculture. The underground water potential in this region

is assessed to be good and this zone stands foremost in lift

irrigation from wells with large number of agricultural pump-

sets.

3.c. TECHNOLOGY ASSESSMENT IN DETAIL

(From technology please give full details under the broad thematic areas such as varietal evaluation,

Nutrient management , pest and disease management, weed management, Integrated Crop Management,

cropping systems, improve tools and implements, livestock enterprises,gender specific technologies etc)

(The format for preparing the same is furnished below)

OFT 1:

1. Thematic area: Varietal evaluation

2. Title: Assessment of suitable submergence tolerant paddy variety

3. Scientists involved: SMS (CRP), SMS (PB & G), SMS (Agrl.Ento.)

4. Details of farming situation:

In Tiruvallur district, the main cropping seasons are Sornavari (April-July), Samba (Aug-Dec)

and Navarai (Dec-April) and the cropping pattern is Rice – Rice- Pulses/Groundnut. Soil type varies

from coastal sandy, coastal and river alluvium and red soil with moderate pH of 6.5- 7.5 in most of

the areas except coastal sandy soils were the pH is >8.0. The average annual precipitation is 1104.4

mm with 52 per cent benefit from North-East monsoon and 41 per cent from South-West monsoon

and the remaining 7 per cent from summer showers and winter rains respectively. The mean

maximum and minimum temperatures are 37.9oC and 18.5oC respectively. The area has semi-arid

tropical climate. The hot climate prevails during the month of March-April and the slightly cold

climate from December to February, the rest of years belong to humid climate. Tanks are the most

important source of irrigation in this zone closely followed by wells. Paddy is cultivated in 108000 ha

in all three seasons as an irrigated crop.

5. Problem definition / description:

In Tiruvallur District, about 1500 ha area is affected by submergence problem mainly in

minjur block of cholovaram district. Farmers are cultivating BPT 5204 paddy in submergence

prone areas. BPT 5204 is a fine grain paddy variety and widely accepted by the farmers of

tiruvallur district but encounters the problem of low yield in submergence prone areas. Hence an

alternate variety suitable for submergence prone areas of Tiruvallur District is needed for

improving the production and productivity of paddy.

places of minjur block. CR 1009 sub 1 is an improved version of CR 1009 with sub 1 gene conferring

submergence tolerance at seedling level for 15 days immediately after transplantation. CR 1009 sub 1

is short bold rice with high milling percentage and head rice recovery. CR 1009 sub 1 recorded an

average yield of 6.00t/ha. Swarna sub 1 variety survives complete submergence upto 14 days. It has

recorded an average yield of 4.65 t/ha. The pest and disease incidence was more in swarna sub 1

paddy compared to CR 1009 sub 1. Farmers practice (BPT 5204) recorded lowest yield (3.75t kg/ha)

due to heavy pest and disease attack.

Constraints faced:

2. Title: Assessment of suitable paddy variety for problem soils in Tiruvallur District

3. Scientists involved: SMS (CRP), SMS (PB & G), SMS (Agrl.Ento.)



In Tiruvallur district, the main cropping seasons are Sornavari (April-July), Samba (Aug-Dec)

and Navarai (Dec-April) and the cropping pattern is Rice – Rice- Pulses/Groundnut. Soil type varies

from coastal sandy, coastal and river alluvium and red soil with moderate pH of 6.5- 7.5 in most of

and the remaining 7 per cent from summer showers and winter rains respectively. The mean

maximum and minimum temperatures are 37.9oC and 18.5oC respectively. The area has semi-arid

tropical climate. The hot climate prevails during the month of March-April and the slightly cold

climate from December to February, the rest of years belong to humid climate. Tanks are the most

important source of irrigation in this zone closely followed by wells. Paddy is cultivated in 108000 ha

in all three seasons as an irrigated crop.


In Tiruvallur District, about 2500 ha area is affected by salinity problem mainly in minjur,

pondhavakkam, poondi, puzhal, cholovaram and gummidipoondi areas. Farmers are cultivating

BPT 5204 paddy in salinity prone areas. Some farmers are aware of growing TRY 3 paddy variety

but that variety was released ten years back. Growing old variety yields low and also farmers need

fine grain paddy variety as that of BPT 5204. Hence an alternate variety suitable for salinity areas

of Tiruvallur District is needed for improving the production and productivity of paddy.

1. Thematic area: Varietal Evaluation

2. Title: Assessment of suitable Ragi variety for Tiruvallur District

3. Scientists involved: SMS (Ento.), SMS (PB & G), SMS (CRP)



In Tiruvallur district, Ragi is being raised in irrigated condition. The soil type is clay loam,

fertility status is medium to good. The average Annual rainfall of Tiruvallur district is 933 mm. In

Tiruvallur district, the main cropping seasons are Sornavari (April-July), Samba (Aug-Dec) and

Navarai (Dec-April) and the main cropping pattern is Rice – Rice- Pulses/Groundnut. Millets are

being cultivated in Tiruthani, R.K. Pet, Thiruvalangadu and Solavaram blocks of Tiruvallur district.

Ragi is cultivated in limited area of 323 hectares with the production of 890 tonnes and productivity

of 2760 kg/hectare.


In Tiruvallur District, farmers cultivate low yielding local variety. Hence identification of suitable

high yielding Ragi variety is required to improve the production and productivity of ragi.

2. Title: Assessment of suitable Groundnut variety for Tiruvallur District

3. Scientists involved: SMS (Plant Breeding & Genetics); SMS (Plant Protection); SMS (CRP)


In Tiruvallur district, the main cropping seasons are Sornavari(April-July), Samba (Aug-

Dec) and Navarai (Dec-April) and the cropping pattern is Rice – Rice- Pulses/Groundnut. Soil type

varies from coastal sandy, coastal and river alluvium and red soil with moderate pH of 6.5- 7.5 in

most of the areas except coastal sandy soils were the pH is >8.0. The average annual precipitation

is 1104.4 mm with 52 per cent benefit from North-East monsoon and 41 per cent from South-West

monsoon and the remaining 7 per cent from summer showers and winter rains respectively. The

mean maximum and minimum temperatures are 37.9oC and 18.5oC respectively. The area has

semi-arid tropical climate. The hot climate prevails during the month of March-April and the

slightly cold climate from December to February, the rest of years belong to humid climate. Tanks

are the most important source of irrigation in this zone closely followed by wells. Due to tank and

well irrigation, wetland and garden land cropping systems are in vogue though major area is under

dry land agriculture. The underground water potential in this region is assessed to be good and this

zone stands foremost in lift irrigation from wells with large number of agricultural pump-sets.

Groundnut is cultivated in 7276 ha mainly during Rabi season (Dec – April) as an irrigated crop.

The district average productivity is 2800kg/ha and annual production of 20280tonnes.


Alternate variety for high yield

In Tiruvallur District, JL 24 is the popular variety grown by the farmers followed by TMV

13 which is a red kernel variety. JL 24 was released more than 30 years ago and has low yield


potential. TMV 13 is a high yielding variety with yield potential of 3.0tonnes /ha. This variety is

acceptable by the farmers but encounters problems in germination and poor storage capacity.

Hence an alternate variety with high yield, pest and disease resistance suitable to Tiruvallur

District is needed for improving the production and productivity of Groundnut in the District.

to the check variety is 27.27 per cent while VRI 8 recorded yield advantage of 10.94 per cent over JL

24. TMV 14 was more remunerative than VRI 8 on the basis of yield as well as Net Returns. TMV

14 is having medium sized pink coloured seeds having more no. of branches (9.5/plant) and more no.

of pods/plant (68 pods/plant) while compared to VRI 8 which is having bold seeds and recorded an

average of 6.2 branches./plant and 56 no. of pods/plant. Both the varieties were found to show


tolerance to major pest and diseases. The variety VRI was found to be semi spreading in nature and

shows irregular maturity and poor pod filling capacity.

Ribbed gourd is being cultivated in Tiruvallur district during July and January. The average

annual precipitation is 1104.4 mm with 52 per cent benefit from North-East monsoon and 41 per

cent from South-West monsoon and the remaining 7 per cent from summer showers and winter

rains respectively. The hot climate prevails during the month of March-April and the slightly

cold climate from December to February, the rest of years belong to humid climate. Tanks are

the most important source of irrigation in this zone closely followed by wells. The mean

maximum and minimum temperatures are 37.9oC and 18.5oC respectively. The area has semi-

arid tropical climate. Ribbed gourds are being cultivated in well drained sandy loam soil in 10

blocks of Tiruvallur district under irrigated condition.

5. Problem definition / description: (one paragraph)

Ribbed gourd is cultivated in large extent in South and Eastern states. It is rich in

vitamin A, potassium, phosphorus and calcium. In Tiruvallur district total area under

vegetable crops is 2385 ha with the total production of 55385 tonnes. Due to low yield in

existing variety / hybrid and fluctuation in market price of the produce ribbed gourd is

cultivated in very less area. However, the producers of ribbed gourd are economically and

socially weaker people facing various problems. Due to illiteracy, ignorance and financial

weakness, the farmers possess a weak bargaining power and on the other hand, the traders take

the advantage of the farmers “weakness” because they are generally well informed, well

organized, financially sound and very tactful in their dealings. Most of the growers in the

study area face many problems relating to the cultivation of ribbed gourd such as pests and

diseases, high cost of input, lack of irrigation, shortage storage facilities and lack of scientific

knowledge.

Ribbed gourd belongs to genus Luffa. Genus name was derived from the product “Loofah”

used as bathing sponges, scrubber pads, doormats, pillows, mattresses, cleaning utensils, etc. It

contains a gelatinous compound called luffein. Ribbed gourd are cultivated on a commercial

scale and grown in homesteads for its immature fruits which are used as cooked vegetable. Fibre

of mature dry fruits is used as a bath sponge. As tender fruits are easily digestible and

appetizing, it is prescribed for those who are suffering from malaria and other seasonal fevers.

Study has been conducted to assess the suitability of ribbed gourd cultivation in Tiruvallur

district of Tamil Nadu, for which standardization of hybrids is of immense utility. Hence, the

present experiment was conducted to study the assessment of suitable ribbed gourd hybrids for


their suitability for cultivation in Tiruvallur district of Tamil Nadu. The study was carried out by

Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Tirur, Tiruvallur district during 2018-2019 to assess the performance of

ribbed gourd hybrids in Tiruvallur district under scientific management practices.

Two high yielding hybrids namely farmer’s local variety (T1), TNAU COCH-1 ribbed gourd

(T2) and (T3) Arka Vikram ribbed gourd were tested with ten replications at farmers’ field. The

results revealed that the overall performance of TNAU COCH-1 ribbed gourd followed by Arka

Vikram ribbed gourd hybrid and was superior to local hybrids and found most suitable for

cultivation in Tiruvallur district.

The highest fruit yield of 31.52 t/ha was obtained in COCH-1 followed by Arka

Vikram ribbed gourd (31.00 t/ha) and the lowest from fruit local hybrid (20.40 t/ha). Highest

benefit to cost B: C ratio ( 3.0) was reported in fresh fruit COCH-1 followed by Arka vikram

fresh fruit ( 2.87) and the lowest fresh fruit ribbed gourd in local hybrid (2.39).

Constraints faced:

More seed rate is required due to poor germination and

Lower yield in the existing hybrids/ varieties.


New and introduced hybrids was accepted by Tiruvallur farmers.

Both hybrids fetches high market prize.


Both the hybrids performed well in adopted villages.

Resistant to major pest and diseases resistance.

Time consuming and inefficient decomposting process in traditional method

Traditionally compost is prepared from cow dung and crop residues by heaping and

watering intermittently and allowing the microbes naturally found in the waste material to

decompose the waste material. In this method the composting of crop residues and animal waste

may take longer time ie.,upto 90-120 days. Sometimes the composting is not proper even after 3

months. In order to hasten the process of composting suitable decomposing microbial cultures are

needed. Hence various microbial cultures developed by Central Institutes and commercially

available have to be assessed for their efficiency.

Two composting cultures viz., NCOF waste decomposer and Arka Microbial consortia were

tested for their efficiency in hastening the composting of mixed plant waste material viz., banana leaf

sheath, sugarcane trash and paddy straw. Among the compost cultures assessed, NCOF waste

decomposer (42 days) was found to be more efficient than Arka microbial consortia (54 days) in

terms of no. of days taken to decompose plant material.


NCOF waste decomposer is faster in composting of biological waste and is more economical

NCOF waste decomposer is easily multiplied and could be reused


NCOF waste decomposer is efficient in terms of time duration taken for decomposting and

8. Results:

The time spent for farmers for getting information is more in conventional extension practices

is upto 4 hours

But in case of mobile app utilization it was assessed only 15 minutes and the credibility over

the source of information on mobile app is highly reliable and the old extension practices is

moderate.

In case of mobile app the knowledge gained on new technologies is high and in case of their

own experience it is nil

Adoption of new technologies is about 70% in case of mobile app utilization and 40% and

30% in case of conventional extensional services and farmers own experience respectively

In case of easy access of technologies, it is user friendly in mobile app and is difficult in case

of conventional extension practices.

Dependability of technology source is high to the farmers following own experience and

mobile app but in case of conventional method it is moderate.


Farmers utilizing mobile app on TNAU crop production technologies were highly satisfied

Dairy cattle were allowed for grazing, Because of shrunken grazing field, cows could not

meet out their nutrient requirement in Their Tiruvallur district. Deficiency of nutrient leads to energy

& protein deficit that caused hormonal imbalance for reproduction. Negative energy and hormonal

imbalance leads to anestrous-cystic ovary which resulted in extended postpartum period. So calving

interval is increased ; it leads to huge economic loss.

lakh MT and productivity of 3668 kg per ha (2014-15). In the North Eastern Zone of Tamil

Nadu, Paddy is being cultivated in three seasons in Thiruvallur district viz., Sornavari (Apr –

Jul), Samaba (Aug – Nov) and Navarai (Dec – Mar).In Thiruvallur district paddy is being

cultivated in 96348 ha with the production of 4,26,203 MT and average productivity is 4423

Kg per ha. In Tiruvallur district farmers cultivate BPT 5204 and NLR 34449 varieties during

samba season. Pest and disease incidence has been recorded high in these varieties. The

was proposed to conduct field level demonstrations in twenty places during the year 2017-18

and 2018-19. Hence twenty farmers were selected from five blocks viz., Ekadu,

Gummidipoondi, Ellapuram, Solavaram and Kadambathur of Tiruvallur distirct. On campus

and off campus trainings were given to farmers as well as extension personnel on various

improved crop production technologies and integrated pest management practices. The

farmers were also facilitated with technical pamphlets on Nutrient management, Pest and

disease management and wild boar management. Demonstrations were made on seed

treatment, Pheromone traps and sticky traps in pest monitoring, IPM and IDM concepts,

harvest and post harvest operations.Technology intervention viz, supply of new variety CO 52

income and grain yield obtained in CO 52 was higher than BPT 5204. CO 52 was also found

to be tolerant to major pest and diseases and hence is a best alternate to BPT 5204 as a

medium duration variety for samba season of Tiruvallur district. Demand for seed is very

high for the ensuing samba season 2019-2020.


Impact:

Demand for seed is very high for the ensuing samba season 2019-20. TNAU is

disseminating the CO52 variety through supply of seeds to farmers under NADP scheme.

Through FLD conducted during 2017-18, 2018-19 and by TNAU the area spread under CO

52 during 2018-19 is 845 hectares.

15. A. 2. Greengram CO 8 – A factor in changing socio economic status of farmers

1. Situation analysis/Problem statement: Greengram is cultivated in 9188ha mainly during Rabi (Dec-Jan) season in Tiruvallur

District in the cropping pattern Rice-Rice-Greengram. The average productivity of this crop

is 850kg /ha in Tiruvallur. KM 2 is the popularly cultivated variety in the District. This is a

variety with indeterminate growth habit and needs several picking. This variety is also

susceptible to pod borer leading to yield losses upto 25% and was released 20 years back.

The new variety CO 8 released from TNAU during 2013 is a short duration variety maturing

in 55-60 days, with determinate growth habit, synchronous maturity and non shattering

nature. This is also tolerant to Yellow Mosaic Virus and Pod borer. Hence the variety CO 8

was introduced among the farmers through FLDs (2014-15 & 2017-18) and CFLDs (2016-17

& 2017-18).

15.A.3. Direct Sown Rice Cultivation – Integrated Crop Management Practices to

impart

drought tolerance and boost productivity

Situation analysis/Problem statement:

Paddy is being cultivated in three seasons in Thiruvallur district viz., Sornavari (Apr –

Jul), Samba (Aug – Nov) and Navarai (Dec – Mar). Paddy is cultivated as a direct sown crop

in about 1000 ha area in Ellapuram and Kadambattur blocks of Tiruvallur District under

semidry conditions. The successful cultivation of the crop under such situation mainly

depends on the rainfall during the early stages of crop growth and with availability of the tank

fed water during the later stages of crop growth. The crop is prone to drought when the

rainfall is inadequate. Yield is drastically reduced under such circumstances due to poor

recovery of the crop which encounters earlier drought stress and spikelet sterility problems

under terminal drought situations. The farmers cultivate varieties like BPT 5204 or MTU

1010 which are not drought tolerant and face severe yield loss. Hence drought tolerant variety

combined with integrated crop management practices to mitigate drought / impart drought

tolerance to crop have to be demonstrated to the farmers in order to realize good crop yield.

Anna (R) 4 is a drought tolerant variety released by TNAU in 2009. It matures in 100-105

days and has long slender white rice with the average yield of 3.7 t/ ha under drought

conditions.

Plan, Implement and Support:

Integrated Crop Management practices in direct sown rice have been demonstrated

during samba season of 2018-19 in Ellapuram and Ekadu blocks of Tiruvallur District. Ten

one acre demonstrations were conducted during the year 2018-19. On campus and off

campus trainings were given to farmers as well as extension personnel on various improved

crop production technologies and integrated pest management practices. The farmers were

also facilitated with technical pamphlets on drought tolerant varieties and Integrated Crop

management. Demonstrations were conducted on seed hardening and seed treatment, seed


drill sowing, PPFM spray for drought mitigation, IPM and IDM concepts. Technology

intervention viz, supply of new variety Anna (R) 4 @ 50 kg/ha; Seed treatment with

Azospirillum, Phosphobacteria & KRB each @ 600 g/ha seed & SA @ 2.0 kg/ha; Seed

hardening with 1% KCl; Seed drill sowing; PPFM spray demonstration @ 500 ml/ha (2

sprays) were demonstrated at field level. Necessary farm advisory services were given by the

Subject Matter Specialist of KVK with varied specialization. The farmers were also

facilitated with technical pamphlets. Demonstrations were made on Seed hardening, Seed

drill sowing, weed management and PPFM spray for drought mitigation. Sowing was taken

up during the month Sep, 2018 and harvested during the month of Jan 2019. Parameters viz.,

Height of the plant, number of productive tillers per plant, No. of grains/panicle, Drought

recovery rate, Yield (kg/ha), Net Returns and BCR was observed and recorded from the

demonstration fields.

Output:

Among the demonstrations undertaken in ten farmers field, Mr. C. Jayakumar of

Vadamadurai village having farming experience of 30 years has obtained the highest yield of

4500 kg per hectare by cultivating Anna (R) 4 and having followed the Integrated crop

management practices for direct sown paddy during samba 2018-19 and realized Net return

of Rs. 41450 and BCR of 2.71.

over the check variety was 36.67 %. Anna (R) was also found to recover more from drought

and recorded drought recovery score of 1 (90% of plants recovered) when compared to the

check variety MTU 1010 which showed a drought recovery score of 5 (40-70% plants

recovered from drought). The economics of technology demonstrated was also good when

compared to the check ie., Anna (R) 4 recorded Net income of Rs.39000 and BCR of 2.61 as

against MTU 1010 which recorded a Net income of Rs. 20580 and BCR of 1.81.


Comparison of Yield and Net Returns of the Demo with Check

Outcome:

Yield increase over the check variety MTU 1010 is 37.20%. Farmers of Ellapuram and

Ekadu block were highly satisfied with the technology demonstrated and the new variety

which is high yielding and tolerant to drought (drought recovery score of 1).The

marketability of the variety is also on par with MTU 1010.

Impact:

The farmers show greater interest to cultivate Anna (R) 4 as it is drought tolerant and

yielded 4100kg/ha even when the rainfall is very meager during the cropping period (55 mm

in three rainy days). Through FLD conducted during 2018-19, expected increase in area for

Anna (R) 4 is 50 hectares under direct sown condition. The farmers also show better

adoption rate for the improved technologies like Seed hardening and PPFM spray for

drought mitigation.

1. Rice – Short Duration Rice Variety CO 51

To cater the needs of the farmers for an alternate variety during Sornavari and Navarai

seasons, KVK,-Tirur introduced a new variety TNAU Rice CO 51 released by TNAU during

the year 2013 with a duration of 110 days. Rice CO 51 is a short duration (105 – 110 days),

semi dwarf, high yielding rice variety. The variety is moderately resistant to blast, brown

plant hopper and green leaf hopper. The variety posses white, medium slender rice with

high milling (69%) and head rice recovery(63%), intermediate amylase content (22%),

gelatinization temperature and soft gel consistency. Suitable for Sornavari / Kar / Kuruvai /

Navarai seasons and all early duration rice cultivating tracts of Tamil Nadu.The variety was

introduced by laying Front Line demonstrations at various locations in Tiruvallur District

during Navarai 2014 (Dec-March). On campus and Off campus trainings were given to

farmers as well as extension personnel on various improved crop production technologies.

Necessary farm advisory services were given by the Subject Matter Specialist of KVK with

varied specialization. The farmers were also facilitated with technical pamphlets.

this variety was 2300 ha in Tiruvallur District during 2017-18.

3. Mechanization in Paddy

Paddy, one among the major crops of Tamil Nadu is being cultivated in 1,02,650 ha in

Tiruvallur District during Soranavari, Samba and Navarai seasons. Since the district is

adjacent to Chennai, labour scarcity is the major problem faced by the farming

communitydue to urbanization and other employment opportunities. Due to non availability

of sufficient labourers in time the framers are facing difficulties in transplanting, weeding and

harvesting. Based on the field survey and interactions with the farmers the KVK has initiated

the popularization of paddy transplanter.

Interventions

To start with, five On farm trials were laid in different villages of Tiruvallur district

during Samba, 2009. Transplanting was done using paddy transplanter. Trainings on raising

nursery, transplanting and various crop production technologies were given with technical

pamphlets. The demonstration plots were periodically visited, advisory services were given

and observations recorded. The method of using transplanter out yielded 5460 kg/ha of grain

followed by line planting (5250 kg/ha). On observing the efficiency and less labour

requirement the OFT was proposed for Front Line Demonstration and ten demonstrations

were laid during Navarai, 2010 in Ayalur, Kilampakkamand kandigai villages and necessary

follow up was done.

Impact

The performance of paddy transplanter was found satisfactory since the method is

efficient, economical and labour requirement is very less. Five days skill development

Training on paddy transplanter comprising of nursery raising, transplanting and maintenance

of the machine was given to 20 farmers of Cooperative societies at KVK, Tirur. Due to these

efforts around 610 ha was raised with transplanter during Sornavari, 2011.

Horizontal spread Front Line Demonstrations during Navarai, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 resulted in the following

Due to these efforts around 2200 ha was raised with transplanter during 2011, 7300 ha

during 2012 and 27500 ha during 2013.

During 2013 an area of 27500 ha was raised with transplanter which was 31.6 % of total

paddy area of the district.

In machine transplanting economic gains were expressed in terms of labour saving.

Labour saving was observed to be 77.10 % .

Farmers expressed their confidence in taking up machine transplanting to overcome labour

scarcity.

4. SRI in Paddy

Rice being the prime crop of Tiruvallur district, is cultivated in 1,02, 650 ha during

Sornavari, Samba and Navarai seasons. To achieve quantum yield increase in Rice, System of

Rice Intensification was introduced as a major objective in TN-IAMWARM Araniar and

Cooum sub basin of KVK, Tiruvallur.

Interventions

A total area of 5234 ha was raised under SRI in the sub basin areas. The SRI

technologies viz., 14 days old seedlings, single seedling, square transplanting with 25 x 25 cm

spacing, weed management using cono weeder, alternate wetting and drying and nitrogen

management using LCC were taught to the farmers and the farmers adopted the technologies

explained. Also nursery preparations and transplanting skill were followed.

Economic gains

An average of 6700 kg/ha of grain yield was realized by the farmers.

Impact and Horizontal Spread

SRI has created a major impact among the farmers and 35,000 ha of SRI area was

recorded in Tiruvallur District during 2016-17 accounting to 40.20 % of total rice area and

more horizontal spread is anticipated in the ensuing season.


5. Sesame Variety TMV (Sv) 7

Background

Sesame is the second major oilseed crop in Tiruvallur district. It is grown in an area of

914 ha during summer with the productivity of 754 kg/ha. Since the obsolete cultivars yield

low, high yielding monopoly variety TMV (Sv) 7 was popularized.

Interventions

KVK intervened with Front Line Demonstrations on Popularization of Sesame TMV

(Sv) 7 during 2013-14. Ten demonstrations were laid out at Kalampakkam village as cluster

approach. Trainings and continuous advisory service were provided.
