FOREWORD

Established in the year 2008, the Rajmata Vijayaraje Scindia Krishi

Vishwavidyalaya is having its jurisdiction spread over 25 districts of Madhya Pradesh. The University has embarked on a journey to restore the rightful place for agriculture in the priority list for development of Madhya Pradesh as it contributes to the tune of nearly 22.5% to total GDP of the State (2009-10). How best to utilize the available resources to gear up for innovations, is our new strategy without forgetting the three key issues i.e. ensuring higher agricultural education, research and extension education.

In the changed scenario, in addition to ensuring food and nutrition security, agricultural development future would also be guided by profitability, competitiveness and efficiency in agricultural production as well as by the export. The research strategy in future must lay greater emphasis on sustainability and profitability, increasing input use efficiency, diversification, use of bio-resources, post harvest management, value addition and ensuring quality. Availability of competent Human Resources, especially in high technology areas and linkages among the institutions, industries and export houses for resource efficiency and quality are of high priority in the present context. It requires management approach for on-farm as well as off-farm operations. The appropriate management approach will induce quality changes in agriculture and, hence, agribusiness promises to be the next sunrise sector for India.

The Annual Report of the University covers development in the areas of teaching, research and extension during 2009-10. I am confident that this Annual Report will serve as show case of University activities. I would like to thank all the Deans, Directors, Officers of the University, Heads of the Departments and Members of the Editorial Board for compiling and editing this report in a comprehensive and presentable manner.

I express my appreciation to the Editorial Board, which has made dedicated efforts for bringing out this report. It gives a panoramic view of work done and progress made during the period under report.

RESEARCH

RVSKVV scientists have developed 15 improved varieties of different crops during 2009-10. Proposals of these varieties have been submitted to state varieties release sub-committee.

During kharif 2009-10, 3390.21 q breeder seed and 246.59 q nucleus seed of improved varieties of Soybean, Pigeon pea, Moong, Urad, Ground nut, Sorghum and Bajra as well as during Rabi, 5251.43 q breeder and 505.15 q nucleus seed of Wheat, Gram, Pea, Lentil, Safflower, Mustard and Toria were produced to meet the demand of seeds. Apart from this, hybrid seed of maize (HQPM-1), Bajra (HHB-67), Sorghum (CSH-18), Castor (DCH-177) and Pigeonpea (ICPH-2671) were also produced.

Thiamethoxam 30% FS @3.0 g a.i/kg seed (10 ml/kg seed) as seed treatment was found effective against early season soybean pest i.e. blue beetle and stem fly and gave significantly higher yield. Higher dose of Thiamethoxam 30% FS (20 ml/kg seed) did not cause any phytotoxic symptoms on soybean crop.

The Bt. cotton hybrid RCH-2 performed well with 90 x 45 cm spacing along with 125% RDF/ha as compared to 90x60 cm and 90x90 cm along with 100% RDF. On the other hand, the hybrids CHNO-12 and KH-151 performed better under narrow spacing of 60x30cm.

Locally isolated efficient Rhizobium strains were tested at different locations in which Rhizobium strain RVSGRS-114 (Sehore) and CH-810 (Hisar) were found promising for increasing nodulation and grain yield (18%) of chickpea significantly over control.

Application of PGPR (Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria) LK 884+Rhizobium and PGPR CRB-2 were able to increase the yield of chickpea by 7.5 & 6.3% respectively over the Rhizobium alone.

Pigeonpea genotypes JKM-189, JKM-197, and TJT-501 were observed to be resistant against Fusarium wilt.

The mustard genotype of Morena JM-4 (JMM-991) performed well over the years especially under rain fed conditions. It is a high yielding bold seeded variety having good oil content. The variety RVM-1 (JMT-04-03) of mustard has been developed especially for early sowing i.e. in the month of September. It take 98-121 days for maturity and have high yield potential ranging from 1389 to 2019 kg/ha.

The pearmillet hybrid RHB-173 has been indentified for release during group meeting. Similarly, GHB-744 indentified as promising Hybrid for cultivation in Madhya Pradesh. In plant pathology component, basillus pumilus strain 7 and pseudomonas strainPfl were found effective for disease management.

Several genotybes of Ashwagandha, Opium poppy, Isabgol, Safed musali and Chandrasur were evaluated to see their performance and superior lines were identified. Seeds of these improved lines were also produced for distribution to the farmers. Variety RVSM-414 of Safed Musli, RVA-100 of Ashwagandha, RVK-1 of Kalmegh and RVSP-1 of Sarpgandha were developed and release proposals submitted to Variety Release “Sub-committee”.

Among different combinations of Agri-horti systems, combination of Ber+Soybean (Kharif) and Ber+Chickpea in Rabi were found superior with maximum net income of Rs. 24021/ha and BC ratio, of 1: 2.66 followed by soybean - Chickpea in combination with Aonla gave the net income of Rs.22808/ha and BC ratio of 1:2.45.

Irrigation at 40 and 75 DAS and 40kg/ha sulphur were found better for obtaining higher yield from Rabi oilseed crops. Among the oilseed crops, mustard recorded highest seed yield (17.68q/ha) followed by sunflower (15.62 q/ha).

Application of 100% NPK through fertilizers produced higher yields of the system followed by integrated nutrient management (50% NPK through fertilizers + 50%N through FYM).

Application of 5.0 cm spent wash was found effective to increase the yield of rice and wheat in sodic soil by reducing the soil ESP from 36.0 to 17.8. Incorporation of Dhaincha as green manures before planting of paddy in sodic black clay soils increased grain yield of paddy and wheat by 33% and 58% respectively over control. It also helped in reclamation of sodic soils.

Under pearl millet-wheat cropping system, pre-emergence application of atrazine 0.5 kg/ha + FYM 10 t/ha or atrazine @ 0.5 kg/ha PE + one hand weeding at 30 DAS proved effective for control of weeds and profitable under sandy clay loam soils.

EXTENSION

Under technology assessment and refinement programme different technologies were assessed in the field of 1426 beneficiaries.

To enlighten the farmers on new farming techniques, 2862 FLDs covering an area of 993.56 ha were conducted out of which 703 on oilseeds, 547 on Pulses, 485 on horticultural crops, 224 on cotton and 356 other income generating enterprises.

A total of 1471 training programmes were organized which benefited 43762 participants including farmers, farm women, rural youth, extension personnel and Govt. officials.

In order to create awareness among farmers of the region, 6384 other extension activities in the form of field days (151), Kisan Goshties (183), Kisan Mela (31), Exhibitions (91), Film shows (180), Diagnostic visit to farmers field (1348), Radio and TV programmes (116), Soil health camps (12) and animal health camps (10) were organized which benefited 121140 farmers/ extension personnel of the region.

Under mass communication measures, 1413 publications in the form of Popular Articles (159), Research Papers (87), Newsletters (64), News paper coverage (609), Exhibition literature (158) were brought out.

KVK scientists collected 1943 soil and water samples from 128 villages and after analysis, Results Card were distributed to 1885 farmers of the region.

KVK’s produced 4372.14 q of quality seeds of different crops and more than 34 thousand saplings and distributed to the farmers.

SMS of KVK’s solved the problems of farmers, related to production and protection of crops through farmers Call Centers.

MAJOR CROPS AND CROPPING PATTERN

The main food crops of the area are sorghum, wheat, rice, lentil and millets. Important among commercial crops grown in the area are pulses, oil seeds and medicinal crops. The state is poised for a breakthrough in soybean and pulses cultivation. Major crops grown and cropping pattern followed in different agro-climatic zones of the area are given in table 1 and graphically shown in the figure.

The area coverage of soybean, groundnut and cotton under the jurisdiction of university is 69, 66 and 55 per cent, which contribute to about 68, 67 and 56 per cent in total production of these crops in the state respectively. Chickpea, pea, black gram and wheat contribute about 35, 24, 54 and 48 per cent in their total state production from an area of only 20, 05, 46 and 40 per cent, respectively. The productivity of these crops in the region is higher than the state average.

Area under horticultural crops is in increasing trend under the university jurisdiction. Guawa, ber, aonla and custardapple, in Gird region, orange, grape, chiku, mosambi and acidlime in Malwa plateau; banana, papaya, lime and chiku in Nimar valley and lime, ber, guava, aonla and custardapple in Jhabua hills are blooming well. Among the spice crops, turmeric, corriander, ajwine, chillies, garlic, colocasia, fenugreek and fennel have their own specialities in different agro-climatic zones. The area coverage under seasonal vegetables and flowers is also showing increasing trend. The priority crops and cropping pattern are summarized in Table 1.

Release of new chickpea varieties at AICRP on Chickpea, Sehore (JG 11, JG 130, JG 16, JAKI 9218 and JG 6) have changed the cropping pattern from monoculture to double cropping in rain fed farming. Most of the above varieties have maximum indent and covers more than half of chickpea acreage in the country. JG 11 brought the chickpea revolution in Andhra Pradesh. Soybean variety JS 335 developed and released at AICRP on Soybean, Sehore is most popular variety having more than 70 % of soybean area in the country. Coloured cotton developed under AICRP on Cotton at Khandwa is new in history. Introduction and development of Italian bee Apis melifera at Entkheri and Morena have accelerated the honey production. Maintenance, breeding of released varieties and breeder seed production in almost all the crops have been started and ‘Raj Vijay seed’ is our next pride possession.

Research Projects in Operation

Externally and state funded projects like AICRPs, Plan, Non-Plan, Tribal Sub Plan and Ad-hoc projects are in operation to solve location specific agricultural constraints and develop technologies for increasing the production , profitability and sustainability of the cropping systems. The list of these projects is given in Appendix-I.

1. AICRP ON SOYBEAN, Sehore Soybean is a major oil seed crop of M.P. It contributes nearly 65% with respect to area (53.0 lakh ha.) and 56% to production (55.10 lakh tons) with a productivity of about 1040kg/ha. The AICRP centre came into existence w.e.f. 1967 at R.A.K. College of Agriculture, Sehore. The programme has developed and released variety JS-335 which has covered 60% area of the state and gaining prime importance in other states also. The work done during 2009-10 is reported below: Crop Improvement

In initial variety trial, the entries viz PS 1475 (3305kg/ha.) and PS1466(3361.4kg/ha.) recorded higher yield than check JS 335 (3243.8 kg/ha.), in advanced variety trial, entry NRC 76 was found better (2401kg/ha.) than check JS 93-05 (2225kg/ha.). Similarly, in early variety trial, entry VLS 73 gave the highest yield (731.2kg/ha.) than check JS 95-60 with 76 days maturity.

In initial Station trial, entry JS(SH) 2005-2 recorded the highest grain yield (2256kg/ha) followed by JS (SH) 2005-15(2881.9kg/ha) against check JS 335 (2881kg/ha). But, in advanced station trial, entry JS(SH) 2003-08 gave maximum yield (2916kg/ha.) followed by JS(SH)2001-4 (2135kg/ha.) against the check JS335(1950 kg/ha.) with good plant type. In addition to this, nearly 700 germplasm were evaluated for economic characters. For hybridization programme, 25 crosses were attempted involving diverse parent of known donors and F2-F6 generations were grown and single plant and single row selection were

55

attempted. Further, M2 generation of treated population grown and desirable mutant were selected. Single plant progeny of commercial cultivated varieties namely JS 335, JS 93-05, JS 97-52 and JS 95-60 were grown to obtain quality basic/nucleus seed and which was produced as per the state and national demand of commercial varieties namely JS 335, JS 93-05, JS 97-52 and JS 95-60 which were supplied to various agencies for the production of foundation seed.

Crop Production In evaluation of AVT II entries for optimum plant population, entry NRC 76 (2680

kg/ha) was found better, but significantly at par with check entry (2664 kg/ha). Plant population 0.45 million/ha gave higher yield. In optimization of seed rate and row spacing of newly released soybean varieties ,Variety JS 95-60 performed better at 30 cm row spacing and 75 kg/ha seed rate ,while variety JS 97 -52 was better at 45 cm row spacing and 65 kg /ha seed rate. Optimization of nutritional schedule for newly released soybean varieties, JS 95-60 (2271 kg /ha) gave significantIy higher yield than variety JS 97-52 (1673 kg /ha).The higher dose of fertilizer i.e. 125 % of RDF although gave higher yield but it was significantly at par with 100% RDF. In evaluation of new molecules of herbicides to control the grassy weeds in soybean, molecules haloxyfop-ethyl 10 EC@ 75 g/ha was equally effective to control grasses and produce grain yield of soybean, in comparison to recommended herbicides for grass.

Crop Protection

Entomology: Heavy population of grey semilooper, Gesonia gemma (43.9larvae/mrl) and green

semilooper, Chrysodeixis acuta (12.33larvae/mrl) were recorded during August. Extent of damage by Stem fly Melanagromyza sojae and Girdle beetle Obereopsis brevis (Swed.) were recorded upto 70 per cent and 30 per cent respectively. Maximum parasitization of early instars larvae of semiloopers by dipterous parasite, Apentalis sp.was recorded in last week of August. Maximum (10%) infection of semiloopers by parasitic fungus, Beauveria bassiana was recorded during second week of September 2009. Evaluation of 39 AVT I & II, entry NRC 76 was found highly resistant against semiloopers and Stem fly. Entry JS20-06 was found resistant against semiloopers and Stem fly. Entry JS20-06 was found resistant against semiloopers and stemfly and also belong to Resistant - High Yielding category. Flubendimide 480 SC was found effective against defoliator's and also gave the good increase in yield. Similarly, Thiacloprid 240 SC (doses @ 500, & 625 ml/ha) was found effective against girdle beetle and also gave good increase in yield.

Thiamethoxam 30% FS @3.0 g a.i/kg seed (10 ml/kg seed) as seed treatment was found effective against early season pest, blue beetle and stem fly and gave significantly higher yield. Higher dose of Thiamethoxam 30% FS (20 ml/kg seed) did not cause any phytotoxic symptoms on soybean crop.

Plant Pathology: Survey conducted at cultivators’ field (2009-10) showed the incidence of cotyledonary spot (CS), myrothecium leaf spot (MLS) and cercospora leaf spot (CLS). In trap nursery trial CS and MLS were found to be the major diseases. Out of 38 entries of IVT including 3 checks, entries NRC 82, JS 20-19, NRC83, SH 2, KD5319 MACS1259, AMS 323, PS 1469 JS 19-21 AND SH-l were found moderately resistant , 5 moderately susceptible, 7 susceptible and 6 were highly susceptible to MLS and 6 ,were moderately susceptible and 29 moderately resistant to CS. Four entries belonged to Resistant High Yielding group. Similarly, Out of 16 entries of AVT I, 6 were moderately resistant, 4

56

moderately susceptible, 2 susceptible and one highly susceptible to MLS. One entry belonged to Resistant High Yielding group. In AVT II, all the 5 entries were moderately resistant to CS and 2 were moderately resistant, one moderately susceptible and 2 susceptible to MLS. Entry SL-744 belonged to Resistant High Yielding group. In an effort to develop forecasting model for MLS, crop was sown at weekly interval. Early sown crop had maximum intensity of MLS. Disease Index was correlated with relative humidity while maximum and minimum temperature, rainfall, soil temperatures and moisture had negative relationship with MLS.

Microbiology:

Variety JS 2004-04 gave significantly higher nodule (42nodule/plant.) and the nodule dry weight was noted significant higher (390 mg/plant) in JS 2004-02. Plant dry Weight was recorded significantly higher (20.5g) in JS 335 and N uptake in grain at maturity stage was also noticed significantly higher (6.59%) in JS 335 followed by JS 2004-03.

3. AIC COTTON IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, KHANDWA/INDORE

Crop Improvement In the cotton project under the plant breeding and genetics the trials were laid to asses

various breeding lines received from different parts of the country. They have been evaluated for different breeding attributes like resistance or tolerance to different sucking pests complex as well as borer complex like Helicoverpa and pink bollworms. Drought resistance and earliness were also assessed. Quality parameters like fiber length and strength etc. were assessed simultaneously. IH-67 and IH-68 are the entries from Indore centre which entered in the central and zonal trials of All India Coordinated Cotton Improvement trials. These genotypes have been developed with the objectives of earliness, drought resistance and tolerance to sucking pest attack. Three National trials with G. hirsutum cultures were conducted under irrigated conditions. 1n all, 80 entries were evaluated. Among these, entry GSHV 155 and CCH 2623 were found promising. In preliminary intra hirsutum hybrid trail, the hybrid RAJHH 743 ranked first. Some promising G. arboreum genotypes have been identified for promotion in terms of seed cotton yield and fibre quality. Genotype KWA 730 and KWA 731 were found suitable for their promotion. The entry KH-151(G.hirsutum) was recommended for Agronomic trails in central zone and KWA-23 (G.arboreum) for south zone. The new entries submitted for national trails (IET) were KH 140, JT - 151, JT – 156. In IET trials, maximum fibre length were recorded by entry RAH 901 (29.2mm) closely followed by KH 901 (28.3mm) and TCH1732 (28mm).

Crop Production

In the field of agronomy, the experiments pertaining to suitable agronomical practices for cotton cultivation were assessed. Agronomical spacing, fertilizer doses, micronutrient application, intercropping with different crops and studies regarding effect of biomulching were assessed through the trials. Both the genotypes belonging to Bt. Cotton and Non Bt. Cotton were assessed. The spray of MgSO4 1% has been recommended at the time of flowering to get maximum development of boll and setting to achieve better yield. The Bt. cotton hybrid RCH-2 performed well with 90 x 45 cm spacing along with 125% RDF/ha as compared to 90x60 cm and 90x90 cm along with 100% RDF. On the other hand, the hybrids CHNO 12 and KH-151 performed better under narrow spacing of 60x30cm. Out of twenty genotypes tested for moisture stress, DHH 0761 was found superior during all stages of growth. Significant difference was found between Bt. and non Bt. hybrids. Significantly highest yield was recorded in Ajeet -33 Bt (1621.25kg/ha.). The foliar feeding of 3% KNO3 thrice or four times in cotton recorded significantly higher seed cotton yield, net return and B: C ratio over full dose of MOP as basal application. On the basis of three year results it can be concluded that the Soybean as an intercrop with Bt. Cotton was found more remunerative and it was closely followed by Bt. Cotton + G. gram and Bt. Cotton+ Urid intercropping systems respectively. On the basis of two year results, the Bt. Cotton- Okra cropping system recorded consistently higher mean values of crop equivalent yield, Net return, land use efficiency as well as production use efficiency and this was closely followed by Bt. Cotton – Cowpea. The minimum reddening effect was observed in JKHy-1 and the maximum in RCH-2 Bt. The concentrations of ethereal @ 2500 ppm at 145 DAS 2000 ppm at 160 DAS had significant and beneficial effect on defoliation.

ENTOMOLOGY A new sucking pest mealy bug is emerging as new pest problem in the cotton growing

areas of the state. In the cotton growing areas mainly two species i.e. Phenococcus solenopsis and Macolinicoccuss hirsutus were observed. By adopting IRM/IPM technique farmers have reduced number of sprays from 4.25 to 2.41 during the total crop period and also got an average yield of 17 .46q/ ha in comparision to 13.33q /ha by non IRM farmers. Population dynamics for major sucking pests and bollworms were conducted at weekly interval for non Bt. cotton. Moderate incidence of H. armigera, Earias spp., pink boll worm and Spodoptera litura were observed. Among sucking pests the population of aphid, jassid, thrips and whitefly were found below ETL throughout the crop growing season. In all, 90 entries were screened in five sets of trails for their reaction to the insect pests of cotton. No entry was found less susceptible for sucking pest and entry JLA-1799 was found moderately tolerant to bollworms.

PATHOLOGY

In a trial for observation on occurrence of diseases Myrothecium leaf blight was found servere. The test fungicide copper oxychloride at three concentrations i.e. 1000, 1250 & 1500 g/ha led to significant reduction of bacterial leaf blight and Altrnaria leaf spot and maximum reduction was noted at highest concentration. Five sprays of Propiconazole @ 0.1% at 30, 50, 65, 80 & 95 DAS reduced Myrothecium leaf spots and their loss by 24.1%.

Crop Protection For the management of painted bug at seedling stage, seed treatment with Imidaclorprid -70 WS @ 7 g/kg seed was found to be very effective, practically feasible and gave higher seed yield. But, at vegetative stage- Endosulfan- 4% dust @ 10kg/ha proved very effective in control of painted bug followed by irrigation at 25-30 DAS. For the Bio-management of mustard aphids-predator (Coccinella septempunctata) @ 5000 beetles/ha minimized the aphid population and gave higher seed yield. Another Bio-agent, (Verticillium lecanii) followed by Neem oil @ 2% also reduced the aphid population below ETL. Spraying of Dimethoate-30EC @ 0.03% gave rnaximum control of aphid and higher seed yield of Mustard. Timely sowing of mustard crop up to 15th of October escaped from the WR, OM & AB, and Seed treatment with Metalaxyl @ 6 g/kg seed was found very effective against WR. Seed treatment with Carbendazim @ 1g/kg seed followed by spraying of Carbendazim @ 0.5 g/I of water at 50 DAS was quite effective against Sclerotinia stem rot in mustard. Three sprays of Ridomil MZ-72 WP @ 2 g/I of water at 50, 65 and 80 DAS were found to be very effective against WR and AB in Mustard. The future thrust will be of breeding for multiple resistance against disease and pest, cultivation of Rapeseed- Mustard under double cropping system, eradication programme on Pyazi (Asophodelus tenuifolius) and Orobanchae, development of short duration varieties of toria and mustard.

9. AICRP ON WHEAT IMPROVEMENT, GWALIOR

Crop improvement

In all 1050 lines of wheat were maintained and screened for various yield contributing traits like plant stature, heading and maturity period, kernel characteristics, yield potential and biomass production. From the 100 genetic stocks of disease resistance and yielders provided by DWR Karnal, 64 crosses were made between resistance and yielder parents. Out of the 60 crosses of year before last, F1 generation seed, following* crosses were selected and were grown as F2 during 2009-10. Out of these *+ were selected based for lodging etc. for F3 generation and will be checked for performance during coming season. Out of the last years 44 F3 segregating populations planted for selection against high yielding check MP 4010 between infector rows of Agra Local to create natural epiphytotic for rusts only 39 entries were retained on the basis of desirable agronomic traits for next generation. During this year (2009-10), 06 segregating populations were selected and grown, and out of these, *+ populations were selected for next year F4 generations. Out of 20 populations only 17 populations were retained for further advancement because these populations were better as regards to agronomic traits such as lodging seed coat color etc. Out of these only* entries were selected of these 5, only one population was selected for next years F6 generation testing. All the 22 synthetic populations were retained for further advancement selecting for easy threshing. Out of Six almost homozygous F6 populations, 3 populations were found to be uniform and more desirable for various agronomic trait studies and were retained For Further yield testing and selection. In NGSN, observations regarding Rust, loose smut. leaf blight, days to head, plant and grain characteristics were recorded and 59 new hybrid combinations were made.

11. AICRP ON SALT AFFECTED SOILS, INDORE

The recommendations of research generated in All India Coordinated Research on Management of Salt Affected Soils and Use of Saline Water in Agriculture, during last one year (2009-10) are summarized below.

In Bhind district, out of 302 ground water samples, 52% samples belonged to good category and 48% to saline and alkli categories. Similarly, in Sheopur district, out of 201 ground water samples, 86.5% belonged to good category and 13.5% to saline and alkali water categories. In Mandsaur district out of 354 ground water samples analysed, 88.7% belonged to good category and 11.3% to saline and alkli categories. A map of salt affected soils of sheopur district was generated using remote sensing and GIS tools through remote sensing software ERDAS IMAGINE 8.7 and an area of about 19547 ha was found salt affected.

Application of 5.0 cm spent wash was found effective to increase the yield of rice and wheat in sodic soil by reducing the soil ESP from 36.0 to 17.8. Sodic soil developed more and deep cracks with the use of spent wash. Incorporation of Dhaincha as green manures before planting of paddy in sodic black clay soils increased grain yield of paddy and wheat by 33 and 58% respectively over control. It also helped in reclamation of sodic soils. Use of perforate vertical pipes (110 mm diameter) in vicinity of fruit trees (aonla) for irrigation was found good and cheaper alternative to drip system for water saving in a strong alkali soil. Growing horticultural crop through drip-ferttigation with low to marginally saline well water in Vertisols appears an economically viable and feasible proposition under semiarid sub-tropical climate.

Highest seed cotton yield (1.67 t/ha) was obtained with raised to sunken bed ratio of 1:2 due to better drainage and aeration. The highest grain yield of paddy (2.28 t/ha) was recorded when the ratio of raised to sunken bed was 2:1. Raised and sunken bed system was found most suitable under rainfed reclamation and crop production in sodic vertisols. Among the various land configurations, the order of suitability for controlling runoff and nutrient loss (NPK) was observed as Raised sunken bed> broad bed furrow> Ridge and furrow> flat. The runoff values obtained were 33.48%, 56.80%, 58.37% and 62.88% out of 444.3 mm rainfall in raised sunken bed, broad bed furrow, ridge and furrow and flat respectively. Study on monitoring salinity hazards encountered through use of drip ferti-irrigation in vegetable crops with marginally saline water in vertisols indicated highest salt accumulation on sampling points side of the ridge followed by between drippers and minimum on drippers when vegetable crops like capsicum, tomato., water melon and bitter gourd were grown under drip fertigation with low saline water (EC - 1.15 dSm- 1) in black cotton soil. Hence, mulching has been recommended to avoid accumulation of salts in the root zone.

12. AICRP ON DRYLAND AGRICULTURE, INDORE The experimentation on all the major themes of Dryland i.e. rain water management, cropping systems, farming systems, INM, varietal evaluation of major crops with farmers participatory mode, energy management, alternate land use system have successfully been conducted during the period under report. New experiments on sweet corn and frequency of sulphur application in soybean -chickpea cropping sequence was also initiated this year.The results of the experimental work done in the year are as follows.

1. Rain water Management Land configuration study in field by making provision of surface drainage and sustainable crop production in Vertisols was conducted. The highest yield of 1703 kg/ha was recorded by the Ridge-furrow at 60 cm, followed by BBF (1553 kg/ha) and Ridge-furrow at 45 cm (1282 kg/ha) systems of sowing. These Treatments were at par and significantly superior to control (Flat sowing) exhibited 871 kg/ha. The yield differences due to interaction of seed rate and land configuration were non-significant. The growth of guava and Aonla fruit plants was enhanced by the use of mulches. Amongst the three mulches, organic mulch was found to be best. With regard to method of irrigation, drip irrigation system proved to be better than basin method. Effects of rainfall on resource losses and crop productivity was

70

estimated and it was observed that the Kinetic energy of rainfall was highest in the month of July (297.66 m ton/ha cm), followed by August (281.65 m ton/ha cm) and September (273.97 m ton/hacm). July seems to be the most erosive month as it has recorded highest Erosion Index of 27.69. In an another study, catchment storage command relationship for enhancing water productivity in micro – watershed was worked out. In this system, Limonium flower was planted in Rabi after the harvest of sweet corn managed through drip irrigation system. Similarly, potato was planted after the harvest of soybean in the same field. Harvested rain water in the tank was used to irrigate the Rabi crops. The net return of Rs. 51660/- per ha was received through sweet corn by selling green cobs while soybean gave net return of RS.25340/- per ha in kharif. Similarly in Rabi, the higher net return of Rs.20280/- per ha was obtained through selling of Limonium flowers as compared to potato planting (Rs ¬33395/ha).

Influence of soil and bio mulches on soil profile moisture conservation and productivity of Kharif and Rabi crops:

2. Cropping systems Among different intercropping systems evaluated at Indore, maximum and significantly higher soybean equivalent yield of 4122 kg/ha, RUE of 4.80 kg/ha/mm with a net income of RS.67160/ha and BC ratio of 6.08 were attained by pigeon pea + soybean system. Soybean + pigeon pea gave a soybean equivalent yield of 2868 kg/ha, RUE of 3.34 kg/ha/mm with a net income of Rs. 42715/ha and B: C ratio of 4.23. The sole cotton system gave the lowest soybean equivalent yield of 385 kg/ha, RUE of 0.45 kg/ha/mm with negative net income and BC ratio of 0.57 in the season. In an experiment seven Kharif crop viz., Sweet cron (for green cob, variety – Sugar Queen), Sweet corn (for seed variety-Jawahar sweet 9), Arvi (Local), Guar (H - 563), Soybean (JS 93-05), Mothbean (Local), Kulthi (Local) were planted to identify the suitable and remunerative Kharif crop as an alternative of soybean. The maximum net return of Rs. 19660/- was recorded by guar with BC ratio 2.79 followed by kulthi with net return of Rs 11380/- and B:C ratio 2.03. Higher rainfall use efficiency 2.27 was recorded in sweet corn. Thus, Guar and Kulthi appeared to be good alternative of soybean in Malwa Plateau.

3. Integrated Nutrient management

71

The Treatments viz.,Organic Farming(10 t Organic manure ha-1) (2211 kg/ha), INM (50% RDF i.e. 20:30:10 kg/ha N:P:K through Chemical Fertilizer + 50% through organic manure) (2200 kg/ha) and RDF (40:60:20 kg/ha N:P:K ) ( 2203 kg/ha) were at par but, significantly superior to Farmer's practice (50kg DAP ha-1) (1821 kg/ha) and control (1808 kg/ha). An increasing trend was observed for seed yield of both soybean & chickpea crop, with the increasing levels of 'S'. Direct and residual effects of Sulphur on yield, quality and S use efficiency of Soybean-Chickpea cropping system was tested, 20, 40, 60 and 80 kg S /ha applied to soybean only, chickpea only and to both crops in rotation. The highest soybean yield of 2583 kg/ha, RUE 2.45 kg/ha/mm, net income 93511 Rs./ha and 7.76 B:C ratio was recorded by application of S @ 60 kg/ha to Soybean only, followed by S @ 60 kg/ha to Soybean and to sequential Chickpea exhibited soybean yield of 2500kg/ha, RUE 2.47 kg/ha/mm, net income 89656 Rs./ha and 7.11 B:C were at par but significantly superior to other treatments and control. The Chickpea crop responded well when S was applied to the Soybean crop only @ of 40, 60, and 80 kg/ha recording chickpea yield of 2427,2531 and 2469 kg/ha respectively. In a study on efficient management of micronutrient application revealed that among Mo, Zn, B, Fe (applied in soil and sprayed as foliar), the basal application of ZnSO4 @25 kg/ha along with the recommended dose of fertilizer gave the highest yield and returns (seed yield of 2471 kg/ha; net returns of Rs 35420/- with BC ratio 3.53) and followed by application of two spray of Mo (Foliar) @ 0.1 % with recommended dose of fertilizer (seed yield 2376 kg/ha; net returns of Rs 33405/- with BC ratio 3.37). Control gave the lowest yield of 1331 kg /ha with the net return of Rs. 18620/- and BC ratio 3.33. All the Treatments were at par and significantly superior to control (1331 kg/ha) and farmers practice (1731 kg/ha).

Herbicides Isoproturon 1.0 kg/ha and 2,4-D 0.5 kg/ha and applied to wheat do not leave any residue in post harvest soil of farmers field as evident by the growth of maize crop.

Estimation of yield loss in wheat and gram

Estimation of yield loss due to weeds was workout with the application of Isoproturon @ 1.0 kg/ha, 2,4-0 @ 0.5 kg/ha, farmer practice and weed free situation. On an average, estimated yield loss in wheat between weed free situation and farmer practice was recorded upto10.87% while in gram 15 to 20% between recommended practices and farmer practices. On the basis of survey data collected from farmers, majority of the respondents expressed that yield loss was observed upto 29% in wheat crop due to weeds.

On Farm Trials

Among the herbicides used 2,4-D application in wheat has proved economically viable & resulted in higher yield and income (40.27 q /ha & Rs. 39329/ha income). Similarly application of pendimethalin and isoproturon in gram gave significant yield and income (20.50 q/ha and Rs. 23450/ha income).

Impact analysis on weed management

75

A study was conducted in Bhopal and Hoshangabad districts to determine the impact of IWM on yield and income of the 40 wheat growing farmers. Majority of the farmers indicated that weeds caused 32%, 20% and 15% yield reduction in wheat, gram and lentil respectively. 60% of farmers are partially satisfied with cultural weed management practices. While, only 15% farmer who are adopting IWM appeared fully satisfied. Although 68% farmers were using chemical method of weed management but among them only 47% farmers were using techhnical weed management practices.

Aswagandha: The entry MWS-l00 and MWS-101 were found superior for dry root yield and seed yield in multiplication trial. Opium Poppy: Six hybrids tested at Mandsaur showed that Hybrid MOH-2 Recorded significantly higher latex yield (50.71 kg/ha) followed by MOH-1 (48.28 kg/ha) compared to check JOP- 540 (46.84 kg/ha). Safed Musli: The entry MCB-412 and MCH -414 were found superior for high fasciculated root yield and resistant to fasciculated root / wilt.

Crop Production

Aswagandha

Maximum dry root and seed yield was obtained with application of recommended dose of phosphorus (40kg/ha ) supplied by SSP. Isoproturon 0.5 kg/ha PE + hand weeding at .45 DAS gave quality root and seed yield. Plant density of 20 lakh /ha (spacing 20cm X 2.5 cm) was optimum for better quality root yield. 20kg N, 40 kg P205 and 20 kg K2O/ha were suitable for better quality root yield. Vermi compost @ 5 tones/ha and poultry manure @ 5 Tones/ha + 50% RD N10:P20: K10 were optimum for higher dry root and seed yields.

Chandrasur

At Mandsaur, two genotypes (MLS-l, MLS-7) were grown in combinations of two row spacing (30 and 45) and three-plant spacing (5,10 abd 20 cm). Seed yield was highest at 30x 10 cm spacing (1800 kg/ha) for both the genotypes. At Mandsaur, three irrigation schedules and four seed rates were tested. Use of 8 kg/ha seed rate produced maximum yield (1430 kg/ha) which was at par with 10kg/ ha seed rate (1260 kg/ha).

Isabgol

40kg N along with 40 kg P2O5 and 20kg, K2O/ha increased seed yield Significantly. Isopruturon 0.5 kg a.i./ha PE + hand weeding at 40 DAS and isoproturon 1.0 kg. a.i /ha PE alone were good in giving seed yield. Plant density of 6.66 lakhs/ha (spacing 30 cm x 5 cm) was suitable for better yield and quality of Isabgol. Herbicides (isoproturon, pendimethalin, fluchloralin, alachlor and 2,4-D Na Salt) applied to Isabgol do not cause any residual effect on succeeding crops of moong, sorghum, cowpea, maize and soybean grown in Kharif season. Application of 40kg P2O5/ha suppIied by SSP with PSB (5 kg/ha) and FYM (5 tons /

77

ha) produced seed yield of 14 q /ha. Applicrtion of potash (30 kg / ha) with either Zn or Mg or Fe (10kg/ha each) proved beneficial for controlling chlorosis, preventing shattering and obtaining better yield of Isabgol. Broadcast method of sowing increased seed yield by 22.14 % as compared to line sowing. Isabgol + kalongi in 6:2 ratios were economically viable intercropping system in Malwa Plateau.

Opium Poppy

Isoproturon 0.375 kg a.i. / ha PE + one hand weeding at 30 DAS was good in recording seed, husk and latex yield. Among four varieties tested, variety J.A.-16 responded significantly up to NPK 150:75:45 kg/ha for superior latex, seed and husk yield. Variety JOP-540 responded significantly up to 150:75:45 kg/ha for latex and seed yield. Under well-managed and fertile soil, 50% of recommended dose of fertilizer can be replaced with organic manure (Vermi-compost) without affecting the latex and seed yield. Use of vermi-compost was found better for crop and soil health.

Safed Musli

Highest fresh tuber yield was obtained from ridge bed planting method as compared to raised bed and flat bed. A closer spacing of 30cm X 5cm was suitable for safed musli to achieve maximum fresh fasciculated root yield. Similary, Application of FYM increasd fresh fasciculated root yield significantly up to 30 tons/ha. Use of organic manure FYM 20 tones /ha and spacing 30 X 10 cm were recommended for maximum dry fasciculated root yield.

Crop Protection

New diseases of medicinal crops in M.P. viz. root rot and powdery mildew of opium poppy. Die back and Alternaria blight of Ashwagandha, powdery mildew of mulhatti, Downy mildew Alternaria blight of Chandrasur, collor rot of stevia, leaf blight of anua, Root knot of Chandrasur have been identified by Mandsaur centre.

Ashwagandha

Three sprays of mancozeb (0.3) or silit (0.2%) or rovrol (0.2%) at 15 days interval starting from just after appearance of the leaf blight of Aswagandha have been recommended for successful control of leaf blight disease. Neem cake @ 3q/ha + Trichoderma @3 kg/ ha during sowing drenching with Trichoderma a twice at the age of 30 and 45 DAS reduced seedling mortality. Combination of Trichoderma viride @ 4 g and metalaxyl 35 SD 6 g/kg as seed treatment showed minimum seedling mortality (18.70%).

Chandrasur

The Alternaria blight percent diseases index (PDI) was 44.80% in the unprotected plot whereas it was 26.40% in the plots sprayed (protected) respectively, yield loss due to alternaria blight infection was estimated 22.97% in Malwa (M.P.). A total of 13 genotypes of chandrasur were tasted under field condition and disease severity was recoded in 0-5 scale and resistant lines indentified were MLS-1, MLS-5, and MLS-7 and susceptible lines were MLS -2, MLS -3, MLS -4, MLS -6, MLS -8, MLS -9, MLS -10, MLS -11, MLS -12, MLS -13.

78

Isabgol

One spray of metalaxyl 72 MZ (0.2%) at the first appearance of the disease followed by two sprays of mancozeb (0.3%) at 15 days intervals were recommended for control of downy mildew of Isabgol. The sowing of Isabgol in first week of November was suitable for highest seed yield and minimum disease incidence. Yield loss due to downy mildew infection was estimated in the range between 23.68 to 30.85% in M.P.

Opium Poppy

Seed treatment with metalaxyl 35 WS @ 8 g/kg seed + 3 sprays of metalaxyl 72 MZ (0.2%) at 35, 55 and 75 days after sowing was found to be best for controlling of downy mildew of Opium poppy. It was also observed that first spray of Metalaxyl 72 MZ at 35 days was important in controlling the disease by checking of initial infection. Powdery mildew of Opium poppy caused by Erisiphae polygoni can be quite serious and as high as 40 - 60 % incidence has been noticed (late sown crop). Spraying with Karathane (0.1 %) or Bayletan (0.1 %) or Contaf (0.1 %) or Wettable sulphur (0.3%) given twice at 15 days interval can effectively control the disease. Root rot disease of opium poppy caused by Rhizoctonia bataticola and Fusarium sp. can be controlled by drenching with carbendazim @ 0.1 % + mancozeb @ 0.2 % commencing at the time of infection of the disease and seed treatment with Trichoderma harzianum @5 g/k seed. Sowing of opium poppy in first week of November was suitable for producing highest latex and seed yield and lowest downy mildew and powdery mildew disease incidence. Soil application of Trichoderma harzianum @ (1:25 Kg FYM) /acre well before sowing (seed row) and seed dresser @ 10g/kg seed resulted minimum disease incidence (primary infection) of downy mildew and maximum latex yield and seed yield. A total of 235 germplasm lines were screened against powdery mildew at Mandsaur and twenty-two lines were found resistant.

Safed Musli

Two spray of Benomyl or bavistin @ 0.15% at fifteen days interval were found effective to control leaf spot disease of Safed musli. Use of Sulphate of potash (SOP) 60 kg/ha + Trichoderma viridae @ 5 kg/ha soil application + seed treatment with bavistin @ 0.15% reduced fasciculated root rot / wilt and gave highest fasciculated root yield. A total of 24 germplasm lines were screened against fasciculated root rot/ wilt at Mandsaur. Nine lines were found resistant.

PHYTOCHEMISTRY

Ashwagandha

Aswagandha WS-90-134 was found to contain high level of alkaloids (0.605%) and also high Withanine content. This variety was recommended for release and multiplication. Aswagandha roots of medium thickness found to, Contain high alkaloids for production of better quality roots the plant population must be high and N fertilizer must, be minimum. On the chemical standards and field performance WS 117 WS-100 and WS-135 of

79

Ashwagandha was superior types. 40 kg P2O5 and 60kg, K2O per ha was found suitable for better quality starchy roots production in Aswangandha. The proper stage to harvest of Aswagandha was berry ripening stage or physiological maturity for obtaining less fibrous root with economical alskaloids content. Standardizations of effective and low cost solvent system for extraction of withania alkaloids and withanolids (steroidal Lactones) Mehanol alone or methanol+ water (1:1) was found most suitable for extraction of drug from withania root powder. 8 steroids were indetified in different germplasm.

Isabgol

Use of rock phosphate with PSM culture increased significantly the husk quality and its severing content in Isabgol. Use of micronutrients (Mg, Mn, Zn) prevented chlorosis in Isabgol crop and shattering was reduced at maturity. Potash application @ 60kg/ha in form of sulphate of potash was found beneficial for higher grain yield of Isabgol.

Opium Poppy

Use of sulphur @ 40 kg/ha increased the seed yield and husk yield significantly in Opium poppy. Foliar application of FeSO4@2gm/liter of water was found to reduce chlorosis of Opium poppy at 75 days. Performance of elite high chern Lines of opium poppy all available germplasm lines were screened for their alkaloid profile on G.L.C. and further few elite lines has been selected on the basis of high alkaloid content as given below:

a. High Morphine lines - Mop-l 054, 10745, JOP-540.

b. High Codeine lines - UO-20l, MOP-587, IC-l9

c. High thebain lines - MOP-54l, IC-114, MOP-278

d. High Narcotics lines - MOP-537, MOP-541, UO-22l

On the basis of overall alkaloid profile, latex and seed yield of MOP-541, MOP-58l, UO-20l, IC-19 and IC-l4, were found superior.

Safed musli

Safed musli, MCB-405 is a improved chemo type with high steroidal content (1.25%) and recommended for multilocation testing and multiplication for farmers. For storage of Safed musli powder it can be kept safe in airtight polypropylene begs with minimum loss of saponine content upto one year. Use of FeSO4 @ 0.5% neutral solution as foliar spray was useful for control of chlorosis. Safed musli Steroidal sapogenine was found to be maxium on 90th day and decreased continuously up to 270 days and it was recommended to harvest the crop when root become harder after 150 days. Use of potash @ 60 kg K2O /ha with Trichoderma soil application was found most suitable for higher fasciculated root yield and sapogenine content. Variability of saponine and sapogenin in processed and processed roots of Maximum steroidal sapogenine was found (1: 138) in un processed (un skinned) sun dried samples followed by samples kept in moist bags and pilled and dried (0.92%). Soaking in water for longer time affected adversely the chemical quality of the root.

15. AICRP ON WATER MANAGEMENT, MORENA

Influence of irrigation practices and combination of organic manure and chemical fertilizer on farmers' field

About 24.29% (2716kg/ha) increase in the yield was recorded in rain water management and application of balanced fertilizer doses as comparison to average farmers' yield (1850kg/ha). Likewise, the border strip irrigation method with balanced fertilizer application recorded (33.33%) average increase in yield of mustard with (150 kg/ha/cm) WUE as compared to farmers' practices (83.33kg/ha/cm). Improved practices of irrigation increased grain yield of wheat by 32.48% (5288kg/ha) and WUE of 151.1kg/ha-cm over farmers' practices (3570 kg/ha and 71.40kg/ha-cm).

Studies on soil moisture regimes under Sprinkler and border strip irrigation application in wheat crop

The amount of water released from sprinkler heads was 9% more in the inner segments in comparison to outer/peripheral segegment. Each sprinkler covered approximately 200sqm wetted area. Under sprinkler method of irrigation, wheat yield increased by 29.39% (4677kg/ha) with saving of 20-25% water over border strip irrigation method (3251 kg/ha). Wind direction and speed affectes the performance of irrigation under sprinkler system of irrigation but is was more effective at the time of sowing and early stage of crop growth.

Effect of irrigation scheduling and zinc levels on soybean- mustard cropping sequence

The highest seed yield of soybean (15.58 q/ha), production effeiciency (17.30kg/ha/day), net returns (Rs. 19595 kg/ha/day) and B:C ratio (2.60) was registered with the 100% RDF. The mean response due to 100% RDF was 29.58% and 16.49% in seed yield over 50% and 75% RDF, respectively. In mustard, the maximum WUE (132.1kg/ha-cm), production effeiciency (17.38kg/ha/day), seed yield (20.85q/ha) net returns (Rs. 4661/ha) and B:C ratio (4.88) was recorded under irrigation applied at 40 and 70DAS. Similarly, Highest WUE (124.1 kg/ha-cm), production effeiciency (16.65kg/ha/day), seed yield (19.87q/ha) net returns (Rs. 42164/ha) and B:C ratio (4.26) was registered under 125% RDF.

Studies on irrigation and nutrient management for pearl millet – wheat cropping system

Pearl millet grain yield increased significantly with increasing levels of fertilizer from 50% RDF to 125% RDF. The percent increase in grain yield over 50% RDF was recorded 12.39% (260kg/ha), 26.66% (633kg/ha) and 54.76 % (1150 kg/ha) under 75%, 100% and 125% RDF, respectively. The highest gross returns (Rs. 32001/ha), net return of Rs. 25436/ha, additional return of Rs. 9772/ha and B:C ratio 4.87 was observed under 125% RDF applied to pearl millet.

Irrigation applied at CRI, tillering, booting and milk stages produced significantly higher grain yield of wheat (4374kg/ha) and production efficiency (34.90kg/ha/day).

82

However, maximum WUE (144.2kg/ha-cm) was recorded with 3 irrigations applied at CRI, booting and milk stage. The highest WUE (148.5 kg/ha-cm) and production efficiency (36.78 kg/ha/day) grain yield of wheat (4630kg/ha) was recorded under 135% RDF. The application of fertilizer at 75%, 100% and 125% RDF resulted in 8.22%, 15.92%, and 23.13% increase in grain yield of wheat over 50% RDF. Combination of four irrigation and 125% RDF gave maximum grain yield of wheat (4630kg/ha), net return of Rs. 54320/ha and B:C ratio of 3.54.

Studies on irrigation & nutrient management for pearl millet, mustard, sunflower cropping sequences.

Maximum grain yield (29.79 q/ha) of pearlmillet was achieved under 125% RDF pooled over 3 years. The pearl millet grain yield increased by 17.39%, 34.84% and 55,150% under 75%, 100% and 125% RDF over 50% RDF, respectively. Maximum net return of Rs. 21381/ha and B:C ratio of 4.25 was obtained under 125% RDF with additional net return of Rs. 8526/ha over 50% RDF. For mustard the highest WUE was recorded under the combination one irrigation given at 40 DAS+125%, RDF (142.35kg/ha-cm). However, the treatment combination of two irrigation at 40 and 70 DAS with 125% RDF gave maximum seed yield of mustard (2357kg/ha), oil production (933.6 kg/ha), protein production (490.25kg/ha), net return (Rs. 30297/ha) and B:C ratio 3.49. In sunflower 8 days irrigation interval +125% RDF treatment combination recored maximum seed yield (1862 kg/ha), production efficiency (21.81 kg/ha/day), net return (13385/ha) and B:C ratio (1.92). Though maximum WUE was recorded under 16 days irrigation interval +125% RDF (65.45 and 71.83 kg/ha-cm).

Effect of irrigation scheduling and sulphur levels on soybean-mustard cropping sequence

Seed yield of soybean (1558 kg/ha), net return (Rs. 15628/ha.), B:C ratio (2.35) was recorded maximum under 125% RDF. The nutrient use decreased with increasing level of fertilizer from 125% to 50% RDF. In mustard, the combination of two irrigation at flower irrigation + seed develop + 100% RDF recorded maximum seed yield of mustard (2315kg/ha), nutrient use (14.41 kg/kg of grain), production efficiency (19.22 kg/ha/day), net return (Rs. 46447/ha), B:C ratio (5.20), oil production (941.2kg/ha) and protein production (477.9 kg/ha), However, highest WUE was noted under one irrigation applied at flower initiation stage + 100% RDF (135.47kg/ha/cm).

Crop prodiction

In a three year study (2007-09) on agronomic requirements of extra large seeded Kabuli chickpea under irrigated conditions the genotypes Phule G95333 registered maximum seed yield of 1519 kg/ha than Phule G 0515 and JGK 3. Sowing of Kabuli chickpea at a spacing of 30x10 cm (33plant /sqm) recorded higher grain yield than that of 45x10cm (22 Plants/sqm). Seed yield of kabuli chickpea increased significantly with application of 30:24:30:20 (NPKS/ha) over 20:17 :20:20 (NPKS/ha). Similarly, three years continuous experiments on plant population management of desi type chickpea under rain fed condition revealed that the seed priming (soaking of seed in water 6 hrs) before sowing of crop recorded maximum seed yield (1465kg/ha) which was 16% higher over no seed priming. Effect of depth of sowing was found significant and increased seed yield by 17%. Seed treatment with fungicide before sowing recorded 1463 kg/ha seed yield which was found significantly superior than no treatment.

Out of 25 FLD's on chickpea, fifteen were conducted on improved varieties, three on fertilizer management, two on IPM, four on Rhizobium inoculation and one on the molybdenum use. Over all, 37% increase in yield was observed, the highest (88%) by the JKG 3 variety. A new FLD on the use of the molybdenum @ 1g/kg seed treatment recorded 27% increase in chickpea yield over control. Locally isolated efficient Rhizobium strains were tested at different locations and Rhizobium strins RVSGRS 114 (Sehore) and CH 810 (Hisar) were found promising in increasing nodulation and grain yield (18%) of chickpea significantly over control. The performance of plant growth promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) was evaluated in chickpea crop. The application of PGPR LK 884+Rhizobium and PGPR CRB-2 were able to increase the yield of chickpea by 7.5 & 6.3% over the Rhizobium alone.

Peformance of ICRISAT Chickpea Wilt and Root Rot Nursery: Out of 30 international chickpea germplasm received form ICRISAT, eitht entries exhibited resistant reaction to local F.oxysporum f. sp. ciceri. None of the entry was immune to wilt. Both the susceptible checks exhibited highly susceptible reaction, indicating the good inoculums potential in wilt sick plot.

Confirmation of resistance and evaluation of elite lines and donors against wilt: Total 134 elite lines were sown each with single row of 4.0m length in two replications alternated with a susceptible check (JG 62) after two rows of test entry. Resistant check JG315 was also sown in each trial. The objective of the experiment was to screen elite chickpea lines against wilt and to test the performance of wilt donors against the local strain of the wilt pathogen. Three entries GJG0604, GJG 0610 and BGD 112 were found resistant to wilt.

Evaluation of chickpea germplasm and breeding material (IVT and AVT): Seven local germplasm lines (SG9820026, SG96032, SG96059, SG3040, SG96033, SG960225, SG98224) were found wilt resistant out of 40 entries tested. Similarly, out of 110 chickpea entries received in different groups 10 entries were found resistant to wilt.

Indentification of races of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri, Chickpea differentials C-104, JG 74, ICP 97-29 and WR 315 exhibited resistant reaction to wilt indicating the presence of race 4 of Foc.

Evaluation of NBPGR Chickpea germplam against biotic Stresses (Wilt), Out of 217 chickpea accessions obtained from NBPGR, New Delhi, 6 accessions S-269251, IC-269039, IC-269522, IC-269543, IC-269595, and IC-269750 were found resistant to wilt.

Efficancy of new fungicide Pyraclostrobin 20% FS as seed treatment against seed and seedling diseases of chickpea, Different doses of a new formulation Pyraclostrobin 20% FS as seed treatment, were evaluated against seed and seedling diseases of chickpea in kabuli types (KAK-2) in sick plot. Pre-emergence and post-emergence mortality was recorded as compared with the known fungicides. Pyraclostrobin 20% FS @ 0.3 g was found to be the best fungicide in reducing pre and post emergence mortality (10.57%), as compared to control (34.65%).

Entomology

A negative and weak correlation between Helicoverpa armigera larval population and maximum terperature (r=-0.329), and very weak between minimum temperature (r=0.213), where as weak between relative humidity (r=-0.274) was noted. Variety JG 130 had lesser larval population, pod damage and highest grain yield of 1620, 1380 and 1634 kg/ha in no choice (net house feeding), unprotected and protected conditions, respectively. Looking to the leaf damage rating survival per cent and larval weight, varieties ICCL 86111, ICC 10613, ICCV 90034 and ICC 506 performed better.

(v) Maintenance of lines

21 CMS lines collected for development of new hybrids have been maintained and utilized in breeding programmes. Likewise, 21 Cleistogamous lines of pigeonpea are useful for introducing this trait in new varieties for prevention of out-crossing during seed production have been maintined. Efforts are being made to introduce this trait in adapted varieties of the state.

Seed production of Parental lines of Pigeonpea Hybrid

Seed of parental lines ICP 2043 A and ICP 2043 B of hybrid ICPH 2067 were maintained at this station since last two years.

Crop Production

Sowing method and weed control Sowing of pigeonpea on raised beds enhanced the grain yield by 87% over traditional flat bed sowing. For weed control, one hand weeding has recorded higher grain yield of 1085 kg/ha, but it was at par with pre-emergence application of Alachlor 50 EC @ 2.0 kg a.i./ha (1054 kg/ha) as compared to 786 kg/ha in control. In pigeonpea-soybean inter-cropping system, best control of weeds was achieved with pre-emergence application of Alachlor 50 EC @ 1.0 kg a.i./ha, followed by one hand weeding at 45 DAS gave highest yield of 2585 kg/ha with minimum dry weight of weed (154 kg/ha) as compared to 1158 kg/ha and 1129 kg/ha in control, respectively.

The application of 20 kg S/ha either through Gypsum or SSP was optimum for pigeonpea with an yield of 1320 kg/ha and 1271kg/ha respectively as compared to 1006 kg/ha in control. Out of 26 Rhizobium isolates obtained through isoloation and laboratory screening Rhizobium strains viz. J1, JARS 52, 60, 70, 76 and JARS 79 were found promising showing increase in yield ranging from 17 to 25% over control. After taking All India Coordinated trials, the strain JARS 70 (Sehore) was recommended for mass production on the basis of consistently good performance (20% increase in yield) at different locations. Slant culture has been deposited at Division of Microbiology, IARI, New Delhi for further maintenance and distribution to manufacturers. The dual inoculation of Arhar seeds with Rhizobium and PSB rogether with the recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) gave 20.4% higher yield and maximum net return of Rs. 3189/ha over RDF alone (1510 kg/ha). The results also indicated a saving of 25% of the chemical fertilizer by the use of 75% RDF + Rhizobium +PSB which could produce a yield (1533 kg/ha) equivalent to that of 100% RDF alone. In Arhar integrated use of chemical fertilizer, organic manures and Rhizobium inoculants indicated a saving of 50% of the chemical fertilizers. The use of 50% of RDF+ Pressmud-cowdung soil compost @ 5.0 t/ha + Rizobium + PSB produced 38% good and 23% higher grain yield over absolute control and over RDF alone respectively. The nodulating ability of promising entries of Arhar in breeder seed plots were tested of which entries C11, SPLA 11, Bahar, Maruti, JSCA 2,6,7,8,9,10,11,16, SPLA 1, ICPL 87119, JA 4, SPMA 6, 17,

Crop Protection

Entomology

A total of 29 insect pest species were recorded on pigeonpea at different growth stages. Out of these, girdle beetle was the new record which girdled the pigeonpea plant at vegetative stage.The economically important pests were however, pod borer (Helicoverpa armigera) and pod fly (Melanogromyza obtuse). The loss assessment study indicated 12.0 to 49.1 percent losses by these pests. Out of several medium maturing genotypes screened against pod borers, ICP 332, ICP 7946, ICPL 87119, KM 126, BDN 2, BDN 699, C 11, MTH 24, ICPL 87088, ICPL 860109 were found tolerant. The crop sown during first week of July had lesser pod damage by pod borer (8.7%) and pod fly (43%) with highest yield followed by sowing on 16th June and thereby suggested the optimum sowing time of pigeonpea from second fortnight of June to first week of July. The Alchook 0.5% neem seed extract 5% were better than other plant products for reducing the pod damage and increasing the yield. However, on the basis of C:B ratio, neem seed extract was economical than the Achook. The sutdies on parasitisation of H. armigera indicated that early instars of host were parasitized by Hymenopterous parasite, Diadegma sp. (3.3 to 56.0%) higher being in November second week coinciding with flower cum podding stage. The later instars were parasitized by a Dipterous parasire, Carcelia sp. (0.80 to 27.4%), higher being in first and 2nd week of December. During this time, safer insecticides may be used. The eggs of green stink bug, Nexora viridula were found to be parasitized by Trissolcus sp. (Hymenptora: Scelionidae) where, as nymphs and adults of the same bug were predated by Basticus (Harpactor) flavus (Hemiptera: Reduviidae). The spray schedule involving first sprays of NPV @500 LE/ha with adjuvants. + Second spray of endosulfan @ 0.07% and Third spray of NPV @500 LE/ha with adjuvant exhibited leaser pod damage due to Helicoverpa (12.2%) and by pod fly (34%) and highest yield of 1810 kg/ha as against 1146kg/ha in control. Third treatment was comparable with 2 sprays of endosulfan and hence recommended Among the conventional insedicides tested, application of endosulfan - endosulfan - dimethoate had less pod damage by pod borer (11.11%) and pod fly (25.55%) and highest yield (1792 kg/ha) with maximum CB ratio (4.37) was observed. The comibination of ination of insecticides with neem seed extract was evaluated against pod borer complex. All the insecticides in pure form at full dose were superior than control and mixture of half dose of insecticides + half dose of NSKE. Among the mix treatment less damage due to pod borer (16.5%) and pod fly (32.5%) and highest yield of 1390 kg/ha was recorded by dimethoate half dose + NSKE half dose which was recommended to reduce the cost and pollution problem. Among the four treatments, spray of monocrotophos (0.04%), dimethoate (0.03%) was best with minimum pod damage by pod borer as well as pod fly with highest yield of 2199 kgjha and 1744 kgjha in local and tolerant variety, respectively. The schedule containing NPV-Endosulfan-Monocrotophos may also be recommended to reduce insecticidal hazards.

Pathology

In Madhya Pradesh, wilt (Fusarium udum) and Phytophthora blight (Phytophthora drechsleri spe. Cajani) are the najor diseases of pigeonpea. Efoorts were made to identify host resistance and control through integrated management. For wilt varieties JA 4, ICP 8863 (Maruti) and ICPL 87119 were identified as resistant and recommended for general cultivation. Out of several genotypes identified as resistant, DPPA 85-11, DPPA 85-12, DPPA 85¬13, DPPA 85-14, BWR 370, GPS 26-C, 30, 33,36, 52, Sharan 1-21, Sujata 1-2, ICPL 89048 have been recommended as donors for wilt resistance. For, Phytophthora blight, several genotypes were screened in disease sick plot, out of which ICP 9252, KPBR 80-2-1, PR 5149 selections have been identified as resistant donors. Effective control of this disease with seed treatment with Apron 6g/kg seed + Ridge sowing + Soybean as cover crop was observed. An experient to identify the existing race of F.udum at Sehore was conducted by artificially inoculating 12 pigeonpea differentiates in sick plot and the Sehore strain of F.udum was tentatively classified as pathotype 1. In an study of Epidemiology of Phytophthora blight (PB), the correlation coefficeient was found positiove and significant with minimum temperature, total rainfall and relative humidity indicating direct influence of these parameters on blight incidence.

During 2009-10, in all, 105 weather forecasts were received and 105 IAAS weather bulletins were prepared and disseminated to the farmers. For proper and timely dissemination of weather bulletins, the help of local News Papers, Doordarshan, local TV Channels and Telephone Network was taken on regular basis. Dissemination of forecast and AAB to the farmers through govt schools (Govt Primary school Dhankhedi, Sehore, Govt higher secondary school Phanda, Bhopal); nationalized banks (SBI Sehore, Bank of India, Sehore and State Bank of Indore) and also through DDAs, Zila Panchayat, Zanpad Panchayat, KVKs, Seed certification agencies, IFFCO, ITC, NGO's and personal contacts to farmers were made. The centre also invited feed back from about 25 farmers.

During the year 2009-10, approximately 3500 farmers benifitted from the weather forecast Services. During Kharif season , farmers harvested soybean crop and make storage arrangements as per advise of IAAS bulletins. The crop was safe and farmers got higher yield and monitory return than the crops suffered by rains. The IAAS bulletins are now more frequently used by the farmers in dicisions of important farming operations like, picking of

93

pods of mungbean, spraying of insecticides, application of protective irrigation, sun drying of harvested crops, developing effective prevention methods against pest incidence etc.

Applicability of IAAS depends on its accuracy continuity without break and fast communications so as to reach well in time to end users. Thus, all those, associated with IAAS should have proper coordination and dedication for the benefit of farmers of the region.

4. EXTENSION ACTIVITIES

Out of 11 agro-climatic zones of the state, six falls in the area jurisdiction of RVSKVV, Gwalior. Under these six agro-climatic zones, university has established 19 Krishi Vigyan Kednras (KVKs) which are functioning under the guidance of Directorate of Extension Services of the University. The Directorate of Extension is committed to serve the farmers through its well organized network of KVKs which play a vital role in dissemination and transfer of latest technology in agriculture, livestock production and allied fields. The KVKs are assessing the technological needs of the district and revalidating the technology for adoption. Systematic work through on farm testing, field demonstrations, on and off campus trainings to farmers and farm women, in-service training to extension workers and vocational training for rural youth are regular activities of the KVKs. Thus, they contribute in minimizing the technological gap between production achieved of various crops by the farming community and production potential of the technologies. The motto of the university is to reach the un-reached through its extension system.

Mandate of KVK :

1. Conducting OFT “On Farm Testing” identifying technologies in terms of location specific.

2. Organize FLD “Front Line Demonstration” on various technologies which have been tested in OFT or proven already.

3. Organize training to update technical knowledge of the extension personnel.

4. Organize short and long term vocational training for farmers and rural youth with emphasis on “Learning by doing” for higher production on farms and generating self employment.

Kisan Mobile Sandesh

Introduction of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the field of

agriculture has brought many changes in traditional methods of extension. It enables the

dissemination of requisite information at the right time to the right people. This revolution in

ICT has made access to the information easy and cost effective to the rural masses in general

and farming community in particular.

Kisan Mobile Sandesh(KMS) is one among the several methods of ICTs working

successfully for dissemination of latest information in Madhya Pradesh. KMS is best on the

linear model of communication, which involve four major component of communication

process viz. Sender, Message, Channel and Receiver. Mobile phones, Short Message Service

(SMS) are important tools and can be used by the KVK specialist. The extension functionary

is the user of the information while farmers are implementer at field level. In consultation

with the Directorate of Extension Services and Zonal Project Directorate (Zone VII),

thematic area / Category-wise contents of the messages are prepared by the KVKs and

messages are delivered to farmers well in time under KVK-KMA programme/project. The

KVK-KMA uses the feature of SMS of mobile phone for information network of KVK
