Abstract
Krishi Vigyan Kendra Kupwara is engaged in providing timely supply of proven technologies specific to various micro-climatic locations in operational areas thus alleviating the technology fatigue existing in the district. The various extension methods like FLD, OFT, method demonstration, campaign, group discussion etc., are being employed to extend new knowledge and skill to the farmers in operational areas. The front line demonstrations on cereals (paddy, wheat, maize); oilseed crops (Brown Sarson), pulses (pea) and oats were conducted on farmers field. Under FLDs, latest components were demonstrated i.e. latest released varieties, fertilizers, date of sowing, ICM, IDM for respective crop. The yield of paddy was recorded to the tune of 64 q ha-1 demonstrating an increase of 28% in the yield as compared to local variety. The low tunnel technology demonstrated to farmers in the spring was encouraging for higher belts as there is always the possibility of dip in mercury during the preparation of nursery. The number of FLD’s under maize was highest benefitting 126 farmers covering an area of 10.8 hectares. The results depicted an increase of 111% yield and proved instrumental in improving the livelihood of the farming community. Introduction of Shalimar Wheat -1 sown during second/third week of October combined with pre-sowing irrigation had a tangible impact on yield (30q/Ha).The On- farm testing on onion, pea and cucurbits was laid in the farmers field and executed under the supervision of the scientist. The application of different doses of sulphur resulted in significant improvement in the yield and shelf life of onion. The application of sulphur @40kg /ha. recorded yield of 272q/ha and increased the shelf life more than 67 days as against control. Blanching with KMS @2g/l of solution for three minutes followed by sun drying reduced the extent of browning (5%) of dehydrated cucurbit. OFT on pea revealed that second week of October is best in terms of yield which decreased drastically by end of October sowing. Seeds may be sown when the soil has optimum moisture content for crop germination and establishment. The various technologies that were demonstrated and tested in the farmers fields of operational areas at district level showed promise and the farmers were highly satisfied with the results.
