Performance of Cluster Frontline Demonstration on Pulses in Assam, Arunachal Pradesh & Sikkim

PREFACE India is the largest producer, consumer and importer of pulses in the world. Pulses account for considerable percentage of the area under food grains and contribute significantly to the total food grains production in the country. In view of the acute need to augment pulse production to meet the ever increasing demand of a burgeoning population, several initiatives have been pioneered in the form of several flagship programmes to bridge the gap between production and consumption and make the country self-sufficient. Presently, pulse development programmes are being implemented through the Centrally Sponsored Schemes of NFSM-Pulses. ICAR-ATARI, Guwahati, in collaboration with a vast network of 30 KVKs under its jurisdiction, has taken various initiatives to increase the production of pulses 3in the North-eastern region. The major constraints that have posed significant challenge in achieving the desired target are being identified and appropriate measures are taken up to enhance production and prevent crop loss. Newer technologies have penetrated various districts of the north eastern region and are being widely embraced by the farming community, resulting in several fold increase in the production of pulses in the states of Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim. Some of the new age techniques viz. integrated nutrient management (INM), integrated pest management (IPM), use of high yielding varieties and pest control have been integrated into various farming practices, which helped to increase the production and improve the quality of various pulses viz. black gram, green gram, lentil, field pea, lathyrus etc. The need for more such science based technologies, which help to increase production and reduce the cost involved, have been acknowledged and efforts in this direction are already underway to lay the groundwork for cutting edge research fortified by appropriate and timely percolation of the scientific knowledge and technical knowhow to the farming community. The Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs) under Zone VI have been constantly striving to develop scientific methods to overcome some of the common problems associated with cultivation of pulses and assuage the concerns of the farmers involved by imparting them with adequate knowledge and right set of skills to deal with various kinds of adversities.

The author sincerely extends his heartfelt gratitude to Dr. V. P. Chahal, A.D.G. (Agricultural Extension), ICAR, New Delhi, for his generous support in implementing the CFLD (Pulses) programme in NE Region of India. Dr. Bidyut C. Deka, Director, ICAR-ATARI, Umiam, Dr. A.K. Singha, Principal Scientist, Dr. P.C. Jat, Senior Scientist for their support in efficient implementation of cluster frontline demonstration on pulses under NFSM. The author is also thankful to Mr. Daegal A Massar and the staff of KVKs under ICAR-ATARI, Guwahati, including the SRFs for their contribution towards preparation of the bulletin. It is expected that this publication will be helpful for concerned stakeholders to implement pulse production programmes in respective areas.

1. INTRODUCTION

Pulses are an important commodity group of crops that provide high quality protein complementing cereal proteins for pre-dominantly substantial vegetarian population of the country. Although, being the largest pulse crop cultivating country in the World, pulses share a total food grains of only 6-7% in the country. The cultivation of pulses builds up a mechanism to fix atmospheric nitrogen in their root nodules and thus meet their nitrogen requirements to a great extent. In India, pulses can be produced with a minimum use of resources and hence, it becomes less costly even than animal protein. In comparison to other vegetables, pulses are rich in protein which are less expensive and can be cultivated as an inter-crop and also as mixed crop. Pulses are mostly cultivated under Rain-fed conditions and do not require intensive irrigation facility and this is the reason why pulses are grown in areas left after satisfying the demand for cereals/cash crops. Even in such conditions, pulses give better returns. Apart from this, pulses possess several other qualities such as they are rich in protein, improve soil fertility and physical structure, fit in mixed/inter-cropping system, crop rotations and dry farming and provide green pods for vegetable and nutritious fodder for cattle as well. India is the world’s largest producer and consumer of a wide variety of pulses which is dominated by tropical and sub-tropical crops such as chickpea, black gram, red gram (pigeon pea), green gram (mungbean), lentil and so on, high in protein, fiber, vitamins, and also suppliers of high quality carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins. The carbohydrates provided by pulses are released slowly as compared to cereals and so have a high value for maintaining optimal blood sugar levels and restoring energy over a long period of time after the meals.

India has achieved 19.25 million tonnes (Table 1.1) of pulse production from an area of about 25.2 million hectare during the year 2013-14 (DAC, MOA & FW, GoI). However, the per capita availability of protein is 28 g/day which is much lower than the FAO recommended level of 80 g/day (Nagy et al. 2013; Prasad et al. 2013; Saroj et al. 2013). Per capita consumption of pulses over the years has come down to 30 g/day in 2008 from 61 g/day in 1951 (Reddy, 2009). The same trend is also followed in the North Eastern part of our country.

Considering the importance of pulses in achieving nutritional security, the 68th

UN General Assembly declared 2016 as International Year of Pulses (IYP). Pulses are mainly grown in the uplands in the North Eastern Hill Region of India. The major pulses grown in NE India are green gram (Vigna radiata), black gram (Vigna mungo), pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan), cowpea (Vigna unguiculata), french bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), chickpea (Cicer arietinum), lentil (Lens culinaris) and field pea (Pisum sativum). In 2013-14, NE India produced 209.3 thousand tonnes of pulses from an area of 252.8 thousand hectare with an average productivity of 828 kg/ ha. Pulse production has been given more emphasis under the National Food Security Mission (NFSM).

Per capita availability of pulses in India

The per capita availability of pulses has decreased considerably owing to the stagnant pulse production and continuous increase in population. The per capita per day availability of pulses in 1951 was 60 g that goes down to 35.4 g in the year 2010. The per capita per year availability shows the decreasing trend from 22.1 kg in 1951 to 12.9 kg in the same period. However, since 2011 an increasing trend is being observed in per capita per day availability of pulse. In the year 2015, provisional per capita/year availability is 16.0 kg which is 43.8 g per capita per day (Table 1.2).

2. Growth and its Decomposition Analysis:

Temporal variations of growth rate in area, production and yield of pulses, decomposition of source of output growth and variability among the states over the study years in a state wise comparative mode has been investigated in the chapter. Before proceeding to the analytical part lets have an overview of area, production and yield of rice in terms of Triennium Ending (TE) in five periods viz. TE 1974-75, TE 1984-85, TE 1994-95, TE 2004-05 and TE 2014-15 (Table 1.9). Considering the triennium figures, on an average, Assam registered the highest area and production under pulses followed by Nagaland, Manipur and Tripura while Mizoram and Meghalaya have shown the least area and production under pulses. When yield is considered, on an average Mizoram ranked first followed by Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh while lowest yield was observed in Assam as per the studied triennium figures. Though fluctuations were shown by few states in the studied triennium endings, overall increment in area, production and yield were observed in NER.

Growth rates of area, production and productivity

To estimate the growth performance of area, production and yield of pulses in state wise comparative mode during the period 1966-67 to 2014-15, time series data on area, production and productivity of pulses were analysed. The whole period was divided into five decades to understand the decadal performance. The periods 1966-67 to 1974-75, 1975-76 to 1984-85, 1985-86 to 1994-95, 1995-96 to 2004-05 and 2005-06 to 2014-15 have been referred to as period 1, period 2, period 3, period 4 and period 5 respectively from here onwards. When Table 2.0 is looked period-wise across the states the following discussions can be drawn.

Among the states Manipur registered the highest significant growth in area (16%), production (22%) and yield (5%) followed by Nagaland. All the states registered positive and almost significant figures in area and production except Sikkim. Yield growth rate were found positive and almost significant in all the states except Mizoram. NER has showed significantly positive growth rate in area, production and yield during the overall study period.

Wherein ST=State, A= Area, P= Production and Y= Yield

From table 2.0 it is observed that area effect is more contributory than yield effect in all the states in overall study periods. Hence production in the region has increased as a result of area increase than yield improvements. Period 1, though data were not available for all the states, but it was found that area effect is more contributory than

11


yield effect. Period 2, it was found that area effect is more than yield effect. Period 3, it was observed that in all the North-eastern States, area effect was higher in production increase than yield effect except Nagaland where it was found that yield effect was higher than area effect. Period 4, it was observed that in all the North-eastern States, contribution of area effect was more in production increase than yield effect except Arunachal Pradesh where it was found that yield effect was higher than area effect. Period 5, all the North-eastern States, showed that contribution of area was more in production increase than yield effect except Meghalaya where it was found that yield effect was higher than area effect. In the entire period, NER showed contribution of interaction effect (43) was higher than area effect (37) and yield effect (20).

Table 2.1: Percentage contribution of area, yield and their interaction in the change of pulses production during the decades 1966-67 to 1974-75, 1975-76 to 1984-85, 1985-86 to 1994-95, 1995-96 to 2004-05 and 2005-06 to 2014-15 and overall period 1966-67 to 2014-15.

District: Chirang (BTAD), Assam

Ph: 8011151993

4. Background information about farmer field-

Md. Subhan Ali a small farmer of Chirang district has a land holding of 2.5 ha. He used to grow rice, blackgram and jute according to land situation during kharif season. After harvesting the Kharif crops, he used some areas for cultivation of rabi crops viz-rapeseed, lentil and vegetables. The soil condition is mostly sandy loam and rainfed. Md. Subhan Ali cultivates blackgram in the kharif season in his upland fields under rainfed condition with no scientific production technology.

5. Details of technology demonstrated-

The technology demonstrated was the scientific method of cultivation that included the use of high yielding variety (PU-31), application of recommended dose of fertilizer (N:P2O5:K2O@10:35 kg/ ha), treatment of seed with rizhobium.

6. Institutional Involvement-

The demonstration was conducted with active involvement of KVK Chirang. The critical inputs viz- seed, bio fertilizer, fertilizer, pesticides etc were provided by KVK. Also Training, method demonstration for treatment of seeds with rizhobium culture, diagnostic field visit etc were carried out by KVK.

7. Success Point-

Earlier the farmer, Mr. Subhan Ali used to grow blackgram in traditional method. He used local varieties which are generally low performer. No recommended dose of fertilizer and/ or bio fertilizer was applied. As a result yield was very low. But, due to intervention of KVK, Chirang in respect of HYV, scientific method of production, INM, IPM, training, diagnostic service the yield of the crop increased significantly.

8. Farmer Feedback-

The farmer, Mr. Subhan Ali was very happy and satisfied for the achievement of technology demonstrated by KVK, Chirang. He found the technology very useful and easy to apply in the field situation.

Mr. Subhan Ali showed his field to other farmers of nearby villages and motivated most of them to accept the technology.

11. Success Story of SIKKIM

11.1 Name of KVK : - KVK East Sikkim

2. Crop and Variety : - Black gram (SKPD-3).

3. Name of farmer & Address :- Mohan Prasad Dhakal.

Village: Ralap

Block: Sang

District: East Sikkim


Farmers of the Sikkim generally growing Pahenlo dal (black gram) during Kharif season after maize crop. During winter season no major pulses are grown by the farmers in the state. Hence, the cropping intensity and productivity is very low (118%) in the state. The main reason of low productivity of crops is use of traditional crop cultivars and farming practices. This is mainly non-timely supply of quality seed. Apart from this, high soil acidity and light texture of soil promotes the leaching of nutrients under high rainfall conditions. To enhance the production and productivity of the pulses in Sikkim, there is urgent need of scientific package and practices of pulse crop.


Organic cultivation opractices of improved black gram (SKPD-3) was demonstration in the 0.5 ha land of Sh. Mohan Prasad Dhakal field under the CFLD on Pulse programme. Seed was sown in first week of August, 2018 with the application of FYM or MC @ 5 t/ha and biofertilizer @ 5 kg/ha. Two hand weeding was done at the interval of 20 and 45 DAS. One spray of Neem based formulation (1500 ppm) @ 5% was done at the flowering stage.

KVK-East Sikkim was involved in providing two numbers of training on organic cultivation of black gram and its pest and disease management. Several diagnostic visit was conducted by the KVK personel for pest and disease during the cropping period.

7. Success Point

Yield of the demonstration crop has been enhanced by 61.9% over the farmers’ practices and net income has also doubled (BC ratio: 2.13).

8. Farmer Feedback

Farmers were highly impressed and motivated to adopt the demonstrated technology higher yield and income and its cost effectiveness.
