1.2. AICRP on Utilization of Animal Energy with Enhanced System Efficiency (UAE)

1.2.1 Development of database on draught animal power equipment and technologies in Jharkhand: A surveywas conducted in 5 (five) villages each in two blocks(KankeandNamkom)ofRanchidistrictsandoutofthesefivevillages,onevillagerepresenting well distributed operational holdings and population of various social and economic strata living therein was taken up for detailed investigation. Village survey and farmers survey of villages from Kanke Block (like Borea, Hundur/ Gobber Happa, Dubliya, Chandwey, Sidhi, Jerra War, Hoechy, Sukurhuttu, Gagi, Chamguru, Karkatta, Nawa Toil Bahru village) and villages of Namkom Block (like Upper Dahu, Banda, Gurser Jambad and Hunhundu village) of Ranchi Districts has been completed. Similarly, two villages of two blocks of Dumka, Palamau and East Singhbhum districts were also completed. Body dimensions of about 100 bullocks and100he-buffaloesweremeasured tofind thedraftdevelopedbyaverage farmanimals. The bodyweight of majority of bullocks (86.5%) ranged between 180-340 kg and he-buffaloes (92%) range between 380-460 kg, An average pair of Chotanagpur

22


bullocks generate draft between 400 to 600 N and he-buffaloes between 800 to 900 N.

1.2.2 Development of improved yoke/harness and package of improved animal drawn implements for paddy cultivation: Two designs of yokes (length 190 cm and weight 7 kg) have been fabricated under UAE Ranchi Centre suitable for animals of Jharkhand state. As a package of implements for paddy cultivation in the state Animal drawn 10 cm M.B. Plough, Birsa Ridger and puddler have been developed and tested for about 3 ha area each. These implements are getting popularity among farmers rapidly as a number of farmers are appreciating us to the same.

1.2.3 Development of improved carts for draught animals of Jharkhand: The existing cartshasbeenmodifiedbyincreasingthecapacitytocarrytheloadandaswellasto reduce traction, after calculating the draftability. A bullock cart with brake system has been designed and developed by Ranchi Centre suitable for the draft capacity of the state. The design and principle of the bullock cart is simple. The bullock cart consists of main frame, wheel, dala (upper part) and a brake system. All parts of the cart are attached with each other by nut- bolts. As per our requirement we can attach or remove the parts of bullock cart. As the terrain of Jharkhand state is plateau. It hasbeenobserved thatduringdownwardmovementof thecart fromonefield toother, there is a possibility of overturning of the cart. This is only due to difference in speed of cart wheels. Similarly, during upward movement also there is a problem of returning back of the cart. In both (downward and upward) movement, animals aregettingdrudgery. It isverydifficult tocontrol theanimals in thesesituations.Considering the above things, brakes on both wheels have been provided individually so that overturning and returning back of the cart can be minimized. Two individual springs with spring constant 20 KN/m (approx.) were attached in the each brake. These individual brakes can be operated by the operator’s leg individually as per requirement.

1.2.4 Draughtability and work rest cycle of indigenous and improved breeds of bullocks in Jharkhand during different seasonal conditions: Trials have been conductedonbullocksaswellashe-buffaloesatdifferent loadconditions tofindout the draughtability of animals on Animal Loading Car (CIAE Design). During the experiments changes in physiological parameters (temperature, pulse rate, respiration rate) of the animals were measured at certain interval at different varying load (at no load, 8%, 10%, 12% and 14% of body weight). Four improved yokes (Pantnagarhillyoke,OUATyoke,and2modifiedyoke)weretestedandtheresultswere compared with the local yoke being used by the formers.

On the basis of above results it can be inferred that, the bullocks of this state can pull theloadupto12%oftheirbodyweightforcontinuousthreehours,withthemodifiedyoke in rainy and summer seasons. Whereas with the local yoke, the bullocks can pull only 10% load of their body weight. At 12 % load, with local yoke, the bullocks experienced fatigue after 2 hours of continuous operation.

1.3 AICRP on Renewable Sources of Energy

1.3.1 Assessment of availability of surplus biomass/ agro waste and their present utilization pattern in selected districts of the Jharkhand: Survey was conducted in selected villages of Ranchi, Dumka, Palamau and East Singhbhum districts were selected for survey of assessment of availability of surplus biomass. The household had an average 1.35 to 3.3 cattle and the dung availability ranged from 15.28 to 28.3 kg per day. Dung was used for making dung cake for fuel and Farm Yard Manure. Crop residues in the representative villages were used mostly for fuel and in some cases for FYM. In most of the villages Biomass (wood) was the main cooking fuel followed by Dung Cake. However, Coal and LPG were also used.

1.3.2 Assessment of techno-economic acceptability and popularization of SPRERI IDDB (Inverted Down Draft Gasifier) based biomass cook stove in Ranchi: Two types (top feeding and side feeding) of SPRERI IDDB (Inverted Down Draft Gasifier) based biomass cook stove has been procured and evaluatedwithwoodlog and dung cake and found that the fuel burning rate in the bottom feeding type cook stove was lower than the top feeding type cook stove. The fuel consumption in all the cases was lower than traditional chullahs. Based on visual inspection of stove during fuel burning, smoke formation was less in both the stoves. After several laboratory testing, the SPRERI IDDB cook stoves were demonstrated and distributed among women farmers for use. The users reported that there is more fuel saving and retentionofflameforlongerduration.

1.3.3 Installation, commissioning and evaluation of modified solid- state digester at the centre: A preliminary survey was conducted regarding status of biogas plant in the selected villages of the Ranchi district. The survey revealed that most of the biogas units set up with the help of JREDA are working partially. Most of the units wereof2cubicmetercapacity,whichwasinsufficientforgivingasustainedburninggas for a family. Small span of gas and non availability of dung was the reason cited by farmers for partially using the facility. Considering the cooking needs of the farm family and realizing the dung availability, two units (3 m3 and 6 m3 capacity) of solid state biogas plant has been installed at Dairy Farm of the Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi by Gurmail Singh (SEW), Village & P.O. –Pandori Ganga Singh, district – Hoshiarpur (Punjab) with the technical guidance of PAU Ludhiana.

3.2 All India Coordinated Research project on Agrometeorology (ICAR)

3.2.1 Crop Weather Relationship

3.2.1.1 Performance of three rice varieties, viz, Sahbhagi,Naveen and Swarna under three dates of sowing (D1: 8th June, D2: 18th June and D3: 28th June) were evaluated toassesstheinfluenceofweatherparametersundertheexperiment“Cropweatherrelationship”. Average duration of all three rice cultivars exposed to different microclimatic conditions ranged from 134 to 142, 141 to 147 1nd 144 to 150 days for Sahbhagi, Naveen and Swarna, respectively with the varied sowing dates. Sahbhagi achieved their different phenophases and maturity earlier than Naveen and Swarna. Among the varieties Swarna required more heat units due to their long duration nature and among the different dates, timely sown (8th June) crop accumulated more thermal time ( 2282) compared to other two dates of sowing (2164 and 2128). All the threedatessowncropsenjoyedasufficientamountofsoilmoisture.Soilmoistureavailability was always found highest in 30 to 60 cm depth. Average soil moisture percentage ranged from 17 to 26 % under all the three dates of sowing which was found above the permanent wilting point. Average soil moisture % was lowest for D3 (17 to 24 %) at all depths during its entire growth period. Average soil moisture percentage recorded at fortnightly intervals showed that it was always around the soil moisture retention at field capacity under different sowing dates.Maximumrainfall received between Transplanting to 15 days after transplanting (DAT) for D1 and D2 crops whereas it was highest during 60 to 75 DAT for D3 crop. No rainfall received during 90 DAT for D3 and 135DAT for D2 and D3. Total rainfall of 718.6 to 721,7 mm, 677.4 mm and 620.5 mm was received by 8th June, 18th June and 28th June sown crops during entire growing period, respectively. All the variety received almost similar amount of rain fall under same date of sowing during entire growth period.

5. ENTOMOLOGY

5.1 KHARIF

5.1.1 RICE

5.1.1.1 Gall midge screening trial (GMST): Three AICRIP gall midge screening trials in the name of Gmbt, GMS and GMSS,GMS were conducted to screen out 17, 80 and 55 rice cultures against the pests i.e., gall midge biotype-3. The overall results revealed that as many as 22 rice cultures were found free from the attack of gall midge biotype-3.Thesepestfreeficeculturesare:Kavya,W-1263,ARC-6605,Kkong-1,Madhuri L-9, MR-1523, BG-380-2, Abhaya, INRC-3021, Aganni, ADT-38, CO-43, CORG-15, CARG-24, CR-3306-11-3-2-1-1-1, CAUR-1, DAUR-2, COGR-1, COGR-3, W-1263 AND Suraksha (RC). The susceptible rice variety, TN-1 received 37.39% silver shoot (SS) with hill infestation upto 75 per cent.

5.1.1.2 Multiple resistance screening trial (MRST): Gall midge (biotype-3) and yellow stem borer (YSB) are two major and serious insect pests found in Jharkhand. Out of

42


35 rice cultures tested against these two major insect pests, 10 rice cultures remained free from both the pest species which are : CR-1898-32-69, CN-2, CR-2274-2-3-3-1, CR-3006-8-2, DRRH-2, JGL-19618, PTB-33, RP-4918-228(S), RP-2068-13-8-5, W-1263 (CBT) and Suraksha (RC). The susceptible rice variety, TN-1 received silver shoot (SS) upto 25.47% and dead heart (DH%) caused by YSB upto 17.53% and WEH upto 8.97%.

5.1.1.3 Insecticide evaluation trial (IET): The experimental results revealed that all the insecticides found to be effective in reducing the incidence of insect pests viz., gall midge (biotype-3), GLH, YSB, leaf folder and hispa, which in turn, realized more yield of rice grains as compared to the unprotected crop (i.e. untreated control). The newer insecticide combination of RIL-15-109 (Flubendamide 4% + Buprofezin 20 EC) @ 875 ml/ha applied on need based basis at 25, 35, 50 and 65 DAT (days after transplanting) proved to be highly effective against almost all the orevaukubg ubsect oests wghich in turn resulted highest yield (33.11 q/ha) of rice var., Badshah Bhog. The other insecticides viz., acephate 75 SP @ 667 g/ha, monocrotophyos 36 SL @ 1390 ml/ha and the combination product, Glamore 80 WG (Imidacloprid +ethiprole) @ 125 g/ha remained almost at par in this regard. The local treatment, Carbofuran 3G, @ 30 kg/ha at 25 DAT followed by foliar spray with Chlorpyriphos 20 EC @ 2.5 lit./ha at 35, 50 and 65 DAT also proved highly effective against the said pest species with the highest grain yield (33.33 g/ha). The unprotected crop received highest pest pressure with the lowest grain yield (25.77 q/ha).

5.1.1.4 Effect of newer insecticides alongwith the surfactant (wetting agent) against major insect pests of rice and their ultimate impact on yield (IRST): YSB, gall midge, leaf folder and hispa were the major insect pests of rice. All the three newer molecules of the test insecticides viz., Rynaxypyr 30 EC (Coragen) @ 150 ml/ha;Acephate95SG@526g/haandDinotefuran20SG(Taken)@200g/haalongwith the tank mix application of Ek boond (Surfectant) @ 200 ml/ha as foliar sprays, applied as separate treatments, at 4 times, on need based at 15, 35, 55 and 95 DAT proved more effective against almost all the prevailing insect pest species as compared to their sole application. Granular application of Carbofuran 3G @ 30 kg/ha at 15 DAT followed by three need based foliar sprays at 35, 55 and 95 DAT with Monocrotophos 36 SL @ 1.5 lit./ha also proved very effective against the pests resulting higher grain yield (42.50 q/ha). Foliar spray of Acephate 95 SG @ 150 g/ha with instant tank mix of the surfactant (Ek Boond) @ 200 ml/ha remained the best performer against the pests resulted higher grain yield of 41.50 q/ha. The highest incidence of the pest complex with the lowest yield of 26.60 q/ha was obtained in case of untreated crop.

5.1.1.5 Pesticide compatibility trial (PCT): In order to test the compatibility of certain insecticides and fungicides for simultaneous management of the prevailing insect pests and diseases, this trial (PCT) was conducted. The instant tank mixed pesticide combinations comprising of Rynaxynyr + CM-75 (Carbendazim + Mancozeb) and

43


Dinotefuran + CM-75 (Carbendazim + Manozeb) proved highly effective in reducing the incidence of almost all the major insect pests viz., gall midge, YSB, GLH, hispa and leaf folder alongwith the major rice diseases viz., brown spot and leaf blast, resulted higher grain yield of 33.78 and 34.22 q/ha of rice var. IR-64, respectively. As such, there was good compatibility of said insecticides and fungicides, as tank mix application, were observed for simultaneous management of major insect pests and diseases. The instant tank mix combination of the insecticides and fungicides did not exhibit any toxic effect on crop plants as well.

5.1.1.6 Effect of planting dates on pest incidence(EPDP): Yellow stem borer, gall midge, hispa, leaf folder and GLH were found to occur as the major insect pests. It was found that earlier was the planting, lesser was the intensity of the pest incidence. As such, pest incidence, in general, was found to be in descending order of: Early planting > normal planting> late planting. However, incidence of rice hispa remained in order of: late planting (2.36% LDH)> early planting (4.20% LDH)> normal planting (10.85% LDH) in terms percentage of leaf damage. Similar trend was also observed in the case of grain yield indicating 43.60, 38.40 and 32.60 q/ha, respectively, in case of early, normal and late planted crop of rice (var. Sahbhagi).

5.1.1.7 Influence of rice cultivation systems (i.e. establishment methods) on pest incidence (IRCP): One high yielding variety (HYV) viz., Sahbhagi and one hybrid rice variety i.e., PAC-801 were grown by two systems of cultivations e.g., by normal transplantingandbydirectseedinginordertostudytheirinfluenceonpestcomplexof rice. Yellow stem borer, gall midge, leaf folder, hispa and green leaf hopper were noticed to attack the crop. Among the cultivation methods, dead heart (4.25% DH), silver shoots (1.75 SS), no. of leaves damaged per 10 hills due to hispa (7.21 LDH/ 10 hills), GLH population (34.60 GLH/10 hills) remained significantly lower indirect seeded rice as compared to normal method of transplanting. However, yield wassignificantlyhighinnormalmethodoftransplanting(4790kg/ha)asagainstthedirectseededrice(3948kg/ha).Amongthecultivars,pestincidencewassignificantlyhigher in the HYV (var., Sahbhagi) as against the hybrid rice (PAC-801) and the resultant yield was also lower (4170 kg/ha) in case of Sahbhagi as compared to hybrid rice, PAC 80 (5160 kg/ha).

5.1.1.8 Survey of pest complex associated with rice: It was found that the all incidence of case worm, gall midge YSB, hispa, leaf folder, GLH and ear bug was observed on rice in Jharkhand State. In addition to the aforesaid insect pest complex prevailing as regular pests, root knot nematode (RKN) and BPH are, now a days also emerging in rice eco-system in certain localized areas of the State. On account of prolonged mild and severe drought spell prevailed during the month of June and July, 2014, root knot nematode (RKN) was also found to attack the roots of rice seedlings in the nursery seed beds in stray and sporadic mode of occurrence. As such, the affected plants presented pale yellow and sickly appearance despite application of balanced dose of manures and fertilizers. Severe attack of case worm was also noticed in late

44


transplanted rice in low land situation. Due to late planting on account of delayed rains, mild incidence of gall midge was noticed in certain areas of districts of Hazaribag, Simdega Gumla, Khunti, Ramgrah and Ranchi. BPH is going to emerge sapestofeconomicsignificanceincertainareasofSahebganjandGoddadistricts.Swarna remained the worst sufferer from BPH. As such, in general, case worm (in low land late planting), leaf folder, GLH, YSB, hispa and gundhi bug remained the common and prevalent insect pests of rice in the State. Gundhi bug was more prevalent in upland direct sown rice as compared to transplanted rice in general with particular reference to late maturing rice varieties.

9. SOIL SCIENCE & AGRIL. CHEMISTRY

9.1 SOIL CHEMISTRY

9.1.1 Permanent manurial trial (PMT Non-Plan) : The experiment with maize-wheat cropping sequence is being conducted for the last 57 years (1956-57 to 2013-14) with the main objective to study effect of continuous application of manures, lime

83


and fertilizers on the crop productivity and soil fertility status of an acid soil. During Kharif, 2013-14, perusal of grain yield data of maize revealed that highest grain yield of 40.8 , 35.4 and 37.2 q/ha were obtained in integrated, organic and inorganic series respectively. Among different treatment combination in integrated series, it was observed that substitution of nitrogen through FYM up to 50 % sustains higher grain yield of crops as well as maintains fertility status of soil. Highest Sustainable Yield Index (SYI) of 0.54, 0.35 and 0.45 was observed for inorganic, organic and integrated series, respectively. Maximum reduction in pH from 5.5 to 3.83 was recorded in treatments where N alone was applied. Highest grain yield of wheat was 41.7, 24.4 and 36.5 q/ha among the treatments of inorganic, organic and integrated series, respectively. Lime application as per Lime requirement along with balanced NPK recorded highest yield over the years. Application of N alone, without P & K fertilizers resulted in drastic reduction in grain yield of wheat. In the integrated series substitution of N through FYM upto 50 per cent and application of N & P fertilizers was found to be quite promising as compared to other treatment combinations of integrated series. Highest Sustainable Yield Index (SYI) calculated based on the grain yield of wheat over the years was 0.41, 0.26 and 0.35 among the treatments of inorganic, organic and integrated series, respectively. Maximum reduction in pH from 5.5 to 4.1 was recorded in treatments where N alone was applied. Organic carbon variation among different treatments was 4.8-7.5 and 5.2-12.7 for inorganic and integrated series, respectively. Application of FYM @ 22t/ha/season resulted in increase in organic carbon content from 5.2 to 8.6g/kg soil i.e. increase in organic carbon at 0.06g/kg/yr under maize-wheat cropping system in Ranchi.

9.1.2 Long Term Fertilizer Experiment (AICRP ON LTFE, 1972-73 to 2013-14)

9.1.2.1 The experiment was initiated in 1972 at Ranchi as one of the centre of All India Coordinated Research Project (I.C.A.R.) on an acidic red loam soil with ten treatments replicated four times. The experiment was started in the year 1972-73 with soybean – potato–wheat(1972-79);soybean–toria–wheat(1980-85)andsince1986Soybean– Wheat cropping sequence is followed. The treatments are 50 % NPK+W, 100 % NPK+W, 150 % NPK+W, 100 % NPK+HW,100 % NPK+Lime+W,100 % NP+W, 100 % N+W, 100 % NPK+FYM+W , 100 % N(S)PK+W and Control . Highest grain yield of 19.4 q ha-1 was recorded for the treatment where FYM was applied along with NPK fertilizers, followed by 17.2q/ha for the treatment where lime was appliedalongwithNPKfertilizerssince1972.Therewasnosignificantdifferencein grain yield of soybean due to application of FYM/lime along with balanced NPK fertilizer during the year under report. Application of optimal dose of NPK (100 % NPK), recorded grain yield was 14.6 q ha-1, which was statistically at par with super-optimaldoseofNPKi.e.150%NPKandsignificantlysuperioroverthesub-optimal dose of NPK i.e. 50 %NPK. Lowest grain yield of 2.3 q ha-1 was recorded in the 100% N treated plot. Higher Sustainable Yield Index (SYI) of 0.60 was observed for treatments where FYM/Lime was applied along with recommended NPK. During Rabi (2013-14), Highest grain yield of wheat (36.5 q ha-1) was recorded in

84


the treatment receiving recommended dose of fertilizers to both the crops@25:30:40 and 120:30:40 for soybean and wheat, respectively and FYM @ 10t/ha in kharif only, followed by 34.30 q ha-1 for the treatment receiving 100 % NPK along with limeapplication@4qha-1andtherewasnosignificantdifferencebetweenthetwotreatments. Application of lime /FYM along with recommended NPK resulted in increase in grain yield of succeeding wheat crop, increase was around 07-14 % as compared to recommended dose of fertilizer and FYM was found to be better than lime over the years as well as during the year under report. Continuous application ofNPKfertilizersatoptimalandsuperoptimallevelrecordedsignificantlyhighergrain yield of wheat than sub-optimal dose of NPK. Lowest grain yield of 5.5 q ha-1 was recorded in the control plot and application of N alone through urea under this cropping system recorded 50 percent increase in grain yield of wheat as compared to the control during this year. Among the three primary nutrients the response due to application of P was highest followed by N and very little due to K during rabi season probably due to contribution of K through irrigation water. Higher Sustainable Yield Index (SYI) was observed for treatments where FYM/Lime was applied (in kharif) along with recommended NPK (to both the crops). Continuous and imbalanced use of fertilizers resulted in reduction in pH of soil. Application of lime along with fertilizers increased pH of soil while FYM maintained pH of soil. Organic Carbon generally declined from its original value in almost all the treatments but application of FYM along with NPK could maintain O.C content of the soil. In general a buildup of available phosphorus relative to the level of application of fertilizers was observed. Decline in plant available nutrient status was noticed as compared to their respective initial values.

9.1.2.2 AICRP-LTFE TSP Programme : One day training programme was organized at Chandalaso Panchyat, Lohardega, KVK- Gumla, & KVK- Jagarnathpur on 23, 26 & 30th Nov, 2013 respectively.

9.1.4 AICRP on STCR (Soil Test Based Fertilizer Recommendation for Developing Targeted Yield Equation for Different Crops)

9.1.4.1 Maize was grown during kharif season. Crop yield was increasing along the strip of increasing fertility gradient as well as along with increasing fertilizer level. The soil and plant data generated and send to PC unit for developing targeted yield equation. It was also found that the Green pea pod yield was higher in the case of the fertility strip 3 (L2) and the highest yield was 299.0 q/ha. The fertility status of the soil was found increasing along the fertility strip. Available nitrogen increased from 263 to 302 kg/ha, available P from 16 to 19 Kg/ha and available K 135 to 156 Kg/ha. Uptake of the major nutrients was also found increasing along the fertility gradient. Lowest values of N, P, K uptakes in green pod were, 54.5 , 4.42 and 13.75.7 Kg/ha were found in L0 fertility strip whereas the maximum values 63.4, 5.0 and 16.96 kg/ha found in the highest fertility strip (L2).

9.1.5 Adhoc Research Project on “Effect of ‘Urea Pastilles’ on crop productivity and N use efficiency in some soils of India” : During (2013-14), data on crop yield indicated nitrogen application through Prilled urea @120 kg ha-1 or Urea pestilles @ 90 kg ha-1 was found at par with each other in case of grain yield of maize crop. 120kg/haNapplicationgavesignificantlyhigheryieldascomparedtothetreatmentabsolute control, control (-N) and 60 kg N/ha, irrespective of pastilles and prilled urea. Similar trend has been observed in the case of N, P & K uptake. Data on NH4, NO3 and Total N indicated that NH4-N was found high in case of 120 kg N alone or with FYM (6 t/ha) . NH4-N was present in the soil from 5-60 DAS and further more where 120 kg N was applied as urea pastilles. Nitrogen (NO3-N) remain higher till the maturity of crop in case of 120 kg N applied as Urea pastilles. NO3-N, total N, NH4-N all were higher in case of application of urea pastilles @120 kg N followed by Prilled urea. Results of Rabi (2013-14) indicated that yield found to be increased overthetreatmentofcontrolaswellastothe–NtreatmentNosignificantdifferencewas found in case of urea pastilles and Prilled in case of crop yield.

9.1.6 IPNI Project

9.1.6.1 Long term system evaluation of ecological intensification management and farmers fertilization practice in maize-wheat cropping system : During Kharif

87


(2013-14), the highest grain and straw yield of Maize (58.78 and 64.5 q/ha) was obtained with the application of NPK (180:90:100) followed by FFP (14.6 and 18.7 q/ha ). The NPK treatment recorded 302 per cent higher yield over FFP. The total nutrientsuptake(N,P,KandS)weresignificantlyhigherwith theapplicationofNPK followed by FFP. During Rabi (2013-14), the highest grain yield of wheat (4.6 t/ha) were obtained with the application of 130 kg N, 70 kg P2O5 and 60 kg K2O in wheat. The present study indicates a 172.55 % higher maize equivalent yield in the system over farmer fertilization practice. Proper rate of nutrient application can improve theproductivityofMaize-Wheat system inAlfisolsby two to three foldover FFP.

9.1.6.2 Effect of Different Rate and Timings of Nitrogen Application in Maize- Wheat Cropping System : During Kharif (2013-14), the application of N in Maize @ 160 kg/ha in 3 splits on the basis of LCC recorded the yield (64.8.0 q//ha) and was at par with the application of N @240kg/ha . Higher nutrient uptake by crop was recorded with increasing levels of nitrogen application. The maximum nutrient uptake was found with the application of nitrogen @240kg/ha as compared to other treatments. During Rabi (2013-14), in wheat, application of nitrogen at 150 kg/ha in 3 splits on the basis of LCC recorded highest yield (6.0 t/ha). In general, N application in 3 splits on the basis of LCC was superior to other application methods with regard to crop yield and nutrient uptake in the system. Per cent increase in yield of the system (198 %) was highest with application of 240 and 150 kg N/ha in maize and wheat, respectively with LCC.

9.1.6.3 Omission Plot/ Quefts’ calibration in maize- wheat cropping system : During Kharif (2013-14), in the on-going omission plot experiment, during the Maize season, the ample NPK and the omission plots were equally divided into two smaller plots and crop residues of the previous wheat crop was retained in one plot while residues were completely removed from the other plot. Yield of maize in the ample NPK (250:120:120) plots, with and without crop residues, were 69.2 and 67.6 q/ha, respectively. Where the SSNM treatments (200:90:100) gave highest yield (72.4 q/ha). The lowest yield of Maize (2.8q/ha) was obtained in the N omission plot where wheat residues were not retained while the yield was slightly higher (2.90 q/ha) in the N omission plot with residues retained. This might be due to higher mineralization of N in the plot with retained wheat residues. Reduction in yield of the system followed the order N (84.8%) < K (42.4%) < P (32.1%) on the basis of NPK. During Rabi (2013-14), highest yield (6.8 and 6.7 t/ha) of wheat was obtained with NPK followed by SSNM (6.6 and 6.5 t/ha) with and without incorporation of crop residues. The maximum reduction in yield of the system (83.8 and 83.6 %) was recorded where N was omitted followed by the omission of P (28.4 and 31.0 %) and that of K (15.2 and 25.2 %) in the system in presence and absence of crop residues incorporation, respectively. Nutrients concentration of plant and availability of nutrients in soil were observed higher at V4 (maize) & CRI stage (wheat) which decreased subsequently at V10 & PI and after harvest due to partitioning and uptake of nutrients from source to

88


sink. Fertility status of soil decreased with the omission of nutrients from its initial value except pH and organic carbon content. But reduction of nutrients is less with incorporation of crop residues incase of available K content of soil. Result showed that organic carbon, available P and N content of the soil declined with the increase insoildepth.However,therewasnodefinitetrendofpHandavailableKstatuswiththe increasing depth.

9.1.6.4 IPNI (CIMMYT Funded Project) on Assessment of agronomic and economic benefits of fertilizer use in maize production system under variable farm size, climate and soil fertility condition in Eastern India’ : During Kharif (2013-14), soil sample were collected from two different block (Sahebganj and Mandarow). In the Sahebganj block three villages were selected Lal Bathani,Krishna Prasad and Mahadevganj and in Mandarow block Gatiyari, Mathadih and Paharpur. The farmers of Sahebganj block were resource reach and whereas the farmers of Mandaro, Darisai and Giridih block were resource poor. The fertility status of all the blocks except Sahebganj was found low to medium status . Trials on maize were carried out in Sahebganj, Giridih, Darisai (Ghatsila) and Mandrow block, comprising three treatments (FFP’s, State recommendation and Nutrient Expert ).The dose of fertilizers werefixedafterrunningthesoftwareanditvariedfromlocationtolocation.Whereasthe dose of fertilizer as per state recommendation for maize was 120:60:40. Results showed that the highest grain yield of maize (84.0 q/ha-1) was obtained with the application of fertilizer (150:64:113 kg/ha) on the basis of Nutrient Expert (NE) in Sahebganj (Alakhdev paswan,Village Krishna Prasad ). In Giridih highest grain yield (52.0 q/ha-1) of maize was obtained with the application of 160:60:70 kg/ha (NPK) as per NE. The results showed by the trials stated that the application of fertilizer on the basis of Nutrient Experts is suitable however further validation trials are required for strengthening the results.

In case of available phosphorus 52.54 samples were found to be low in available phosphorus , 52.92 samples were rated in low potassium. Rest of the samples were medium to high in potassium status. Soil reaction (pH) ranged from 4.3 to 7.3 Soil test indicated the need of N, P and K nutrient in soil through Inorganic, Organic sources and Biofertilizer for sustaining higher productivity of crops. Application of lime is strongly recommended to correct the soil acidity problems in upland soils.

9.2 SOIL MICROBIOLOGY (Non - Plan)

9.2.1 Recycling of crop wastes (in situ) : During Kharif (2013-14), Long term experiment on “In situ Crop Residue Incorporation” for the last 23 years with maize/groundnut-wheat cropping system revealed that 25-50 % chemical fertilizers can be saved through this technique. Application of 100% NPK + crop waste (CW) resulted in the highest pod yield of groundnut 13.5 q/ha followed by 75% NPK + CW (10.0 q/ha) & 75 % NPK (9.83 q/ha). Incorporation of wheat residues based on N content of wheat straw @ 5 t/ha resulted in increase in pod yield by 2-8 % as compared to their respective treatments. Supplementary crop residues alone with balanced NPK fertilizer application also influenced the chemical and biological propertiesof soil. During Rabi (2013-14), data on wheat revealed that 25-50 % fertilizer N can be saved through this technique. Results also revealed that 100% NPK + Crop residue (CR) resulted in highest grain yield of wheat 31.4 q/ha followed by 75% NPK + CR (28.5 q/ha) & 50% N + CR (22.8 q/ha). Incorporation of crop residue alone recorded grain yield of 10.6 q/ha while control recorded yield of 8.8 q/ha and therewasnosignificantdifferencebetweenthetwotreatments.Nutrientutilizationalso increased with residue incorporation too. Microbial population in soil showed significantincreasewithgroundnutcropresidueincorporation.Maximummicrobialpopulation (Bacteria, Fungi and Actinomiycetes) resulted in 100% NPK + Crop residue incorporation.

FARM ADVISORY AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT SERVICES

The Scientists of different units of Birsa Agricultural University provide Farm Advisory Services to the farmers through personal contact, farm and home visits, correspondence and through telephone calls and support services like soil testing, treatment, sale of inputs and planting materials, disease diagnosis and vaccination of animals.

A. Weather Forecast and Agro-advisory

Altogther 5 farmers awareness programmes on “Climate Change and Agriculture” were conducted under AICRP on Agrometeorology (ICAR) in three tribal districts Ranchi, Bokaro and West Singhbhum during 2014-15. Two programmes were organized in each districts seperately. The programmes were organized at KVK West Singhbhum on 22nd and 23rd March, at ZRS-KVK, Dumka and at BAU, ON 30th and 31st March 2014.

B. Soil Testing and Agro-advisory

Duringtheyear2014-15,altogether3307soilsamplesofthefarmersfieldwerereceivedinthesoil testing laboratory of the department. These samples were from Ranchi, Gumla, Khunti, Ramgarh, Deogarh, Jamtara, Chaibassa, Simdega, Chatra, Hazaribagh, Borkaro ,Singhbhum (E) & Singhbhum (W) districts of the state. The soil testing analysis services provided to farmers on FREE OF COST and recommendation of fertilizer application on the basis of soil test values were sent to concerned farmers through Soil Health Card.

These soil samples have been analyzed in the soil testing lab. in the Department and the salient results of the analysed soils are summarized below:

Nutrients % Low % Medium % High

Organic carbon (%) 48.82 23.35 27.83

Available P2O5 (kg/ha) 52.54 22.92 24.54

Available K2O (kg/ha) 52.92 22.41 24.69

Soil pH Range 4.3 to 7.3

Analysis of the soil samples revealed that on an average 48.82 samples were in low organic carbon status. Whereas 23.35 and 27.83 samples were medium and high in organic carbon status. In case of available phosphorus 52.54 samples were found to be low in available phosphorus status, 52.92 samples were rated in low potassium status. Rest of the samples were medium to high in potassium status. Soil reaction (pH) ranged from 4.3 to 7.3 Soil test indicated the need of N, P and K nutrient in soil through inorganic, organic sources and biofertilizer for sustaining higher productivity of crops. Application of lime is strongly recommended to correct the soil acidity problems in upland soil.

KRISHI VIGYAN KENDRAS (KVKs)

KVKs are working towards reducing the time lag between generation of technology at the research institutionstherelocation-specificandapplicationtothefarmerfieldsforincreasingproductivityproductionandprofitabilityaswellasforfoodandnutritionalsecurity.

Mandates of KVKs:

• On-farm testing to identify the location specificity of agricultural technologies undervarious farming systems.

• Frontline demonstrations of agricultural technologies to establish their production potentials inthefarmers’fields.

• Training of farmers and extension personnel to update their knowledge and skills in modern agricultural technologies.

• Work as resource and knowledge centre of agricultural technologies for supporting initiatives of public, private and voluntary sectors for improving the agricultural economy of the district.

• Produce and make available technological products like seed, planting material, bio agents, livestock breeds etc. to the farmers.

• Organize extension activities to create awareness of improved agricultural technologies to facilitate fast diffusion and adoption of technologies in agriculture and allied sectors.

Agricultural technologies and their diffusion are important factors in developing countries’ quests for food and nutritional security. Farming in different resource endowments must be sustainable, economical, and intensive in order to provide dependable and long-term support for rural households. To achieve these capabilities, farmers must have access to sustainable technologies in crop,livestock,forestryandfisheries.Inthisregard,theIndianCouncilofAgriculturalResearch(ICAR) started programmes like Lab to Land, National Demonstrations, Operational Research Projects and Institute Village Linkage Programme, which are all now embedded in the Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK).

KVK plays a vital role in facilitating application of agricultural technologies by the farmers. It is a unique scheme of ICAR oriented to serve the farmers by being the fountainhead of agricultural technologies at the district level. KVKs are the agricultural knowledge centres for farmers, farmwomen, and rural youth and extension functionaries. KVKs have been established in 24 districts of Jharkhand out of which 16 KVKs, namely, West Singhbhum, Palamu, Pakur, Lohardaga, Bokaro, Dumka, Giridih, Sahibganj, Dhanbad, Chatra, Garhwa, East Singhbhum, Jamtara, Latehar, Simdega and Saraikela-Kharsawan, are under the administrative control of Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi and eight KVKs namely, Deoghar, Koderma, Hazaribagh, Ranchi, Gumla, Godda, Khunti and Ramgarh are working under other agencies.

125


Agro-Climatic Zone-wise Distribution of KVKs in Jharkhand

KVKs of Jharkhand are distributed under 3 agro-climatic zones spread over twenty four districts. Highest number of KVKs (13) falls under Central and North Eastern Plateau followed by Western Plateau (8) and South-eastern Plateau (3). The details are as follows:

BAU-DRMR COLLABORATIVE EXTENSION PROGRAMMEIntroduction

Mustard is an important Rabi oilseed crop of India. Globally, India accounts for 20.2 per cent and 10.7 per cent of the total acreage and production. India ranks second in the world in acreage and production after China. Its area, production and productivity in the country is 5.43 mt/ha, 6.41 mt & 1159 kg/ha, respectively. Although, rapeseed-mustard acreage and production fluctuatefromyeartoyear,thealltimehighproductionof8.17mtfrom6.69mhawererecordedin 2010-11. Rapeseed-mustard contributed around 22.4 per cent and 22.6 per cent of the total oilseed area and production in India (Agricultural Statistics Division, GOI, 2012).

The crop is predominantly cultivated in Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand and West Bengal states of the country, which accounts to about 87 per cent of the total national production. The present average yield of oilseeds is just about 1.0 tonnes per hectare, which need to be increased to at least 1.5 tonnes per hectare by 2015 (Hegde, 2005).

Awidegapexistsbetweenthepotentialandtherealizedyieldatthefarmers'field,whichis largely due to a number of biotic and abiotic stresses, besides unavailability of quality seeds of improved varieties in time and poor crop management practices due to unawareness and non-adoption of recommended production and plant protection technologies. Therefore, it is very essential to demonstrate the high yielding varieties and other production technologies to which the farmers generally do not adopt. To achieve target of additional production of oilseeds, it is necessarytoconcentrateeffortsonscientificcultivationofmustard.FrontLineDemonstrations(FLD)ofoilseedsonfarmers'fieldwas initiatedduring2013-14under theTribalSubPlanofDirectorate of Rapeseed and Mustard Reaches, Bharatpur (Rajasthan).

Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi is one of the centre in the state of Jharkhand, where this programme is under operation since 2012. The basic objective of FLDs is to demonstrate improved proven technology of recently released, high yielding, bold seeded and disease resistant varieties.

Weather during 2014-15

The aberrant weather conditions affected the seed production in kharif season, while extremely low temperature ranging between 2.2 to 4.3 0C experienced during the month of January coincidedwithfloweringperiod in redgram (Arhar) and led toflowerdropwhichultimatelyresulted in reduced seed yield. Also, the hailstorm along with cyclonic effect in the month of April adversely affected the maturity stage and seed production of rabi season crops.

1. Compared to previous years, Exchequer control over allotted fund and expenditure incurred out of such fund have improved this year. This has been made possible by releasing funds to the units on the basis of demand for payment of salary and allowances. Previously, the units used to delay in sending the schedules of GPF, CPF and GLI to concerned GPF section. After introduction of net payment system, amounts of GPF etc are now being credited to those accounts on the basis of deduction schedules. However, these are not being received regularly resulting in delay in posting and compilation of accounts.
