Agri|horti|forestry and fodder related technologies(2014-18)Phase I
Interventions have been made aiming at development of suitable Farming System Based Model in arid parts by taking into consideration the arid specificity Specific Technologies:
- Successfully pilot-tested in farmers’ plots salinity-resistant crops and arid horticulture species viz: ber (Ziziphus mauritiana),pomegranate (Punica granatum), gunda (Cordia maxa) and date palm in combination with improved food and fodder crops such as Mung, Bajra, Jowhar ,cumin , mustard etc as a livelihood generation option for arid community
- Established and demonstrated technique for propagation of fruit plants ( Date palm, Ber ,Pomegranate) .
- Performance trials of grafted Khejari, Guggal plants have been taken up under field trials
- Developed Package of practices for Ber , Pomegranate and Date palm wadi
- Demonstrated a vegetable plot on farmer’s field of vegetables such as Brinjal, Tomato, chilly, Turiya, Guvar, Ladyfinger, Tur, Cowpea, Galka, Bitter guard, Cucumber etc. in arid most parts for the first time
- Scouted suitable fodder varieties of grasses such as Gunni/daman/banni/sevan/ Napier/Karan/ Europlus. Similarly trees such as Khejari, Sheeshum, Ardu, Subabool have been shortlisted. Few fodder demonstration plots have been established at farmer’s fields as well as in village common lands
- In forestry species thrust is laid on collection of superior germplasm, raising nurseries, and plantation of native forest species such as Guggul , Khejari, piloo, Date palm, Neem, Subabul etc, which are of value to local communities
