1. Impact of Vermicompost production training programmes

A total of 60 trained and 60 untrained respondents were selected from six villages viz.,

Yarnal, Utnal, Telgi, Akalwadi, Mangooli and Tikota. From each village there were 10 trained

and 10 untrained respondents.

RESULTS:

KNOWLEDGE OF TRAINED AND UNTRAINED FARMERS REGARDING

INDIVIDUAL ASPECTS OF VERMICOMPOST

II. Impact of Frontline Demonstrations

a) Popularization of Improved varieties

1) Groundnut: The new variety of groundnut GPBD-4 was introduced into different villages

along the Krishna river belt in the summer seasons of 2005-06 and 2006-07, 2007-08 &2008-09.

The acceptance of this variety is highly encouraging. In the year 2009-10, the area under this

variety was more than 400 ha.

2) Pigeonpea: Farmers of Indi and Sindagi talukas of this district have been growing Maruthi

and local varieties of redgram. These varieties are not responsive to high moisture. The Asha

variety which not only responds to moisture but is also resistant to wilt and sterility mosaic

disease. This variety was demonstrated in the year 2005-06 and 2006-07. This variety had

occupied more than 800 ha in 2009-10.

3) Sorghum: Bijapur is considered as rabi sorghum bowl of Karnataka and M 35-1 is important

variety grown the region. This variety is round seeded bold, lustrous and tolerant to drought and

shoot fly. However it is non responsive to moisture and susceptible to lodging and charcoal rot.

In this direction, KVK, Bijapur through many training programmes, personal discussion and

FLDS combined, made a good number of farmers having deep black soil to raise this new variety

DSV 5. The area under this variety was about 100 ha.

58

4) Cotton hybrid : RCH-2 (Bt-cotton) was demonstrated in area of 25 acres in chikkarugi and

Golasar villages of Sindagi and Indi talukas, respectively in 2006-07 to 2009-10 .The

performance of this hybrid was highly encouraging and it out yielded the non-Bt hybrid by

nearly 20 percent coupled with about 22 percent reduction in cost of cultivation. Net returns per

hectare obtained with demonstration and local check were Rs 19,740/- and Rs 8010/-

respectively. The additional net returns with this Bt cotton hybrid is Rs-11730/- ha.

The field day was attended by more than 200 farmers and they were convinced about the

superiority of this technology (RCH-2). During this year the area under said hybrid is about 1200

ha with expected additional returns of Rs.14,76,000/-

b) Insitu Moisture conservation in sunflower

A significant impact of KVK activities is seen in the field of moisture conservation.

Sunflower crop being highly exhaustive crop, it loves moisture. Due to uneven and erratic nature

of rainfall, it suffers heavily. In order to combat this problem wider row spacing (120 cm

interrow) was demonstrated. This technology helps in conservation of moisture as it enables

farmer to take up repeated inter cultivation. This repeated intercultivation helps in conservation

of moisture as it fills the cracks. Besides moisture conservation wider row spacing facilitates the

farmer to collect the mass of eggs laid on leaves by Black headed hairy caterpillar. The impact of

concerted efforts made by KVK in the form of training programme and FLD have been paying

dividends and this technology was adopted in 1200 ha in B. Bagewadi taluka.

10.C. Success Stories / Case studies

Wealth from waste: Smt. Shantabai C. Ambali

Smt. Shantabai C. Ambali belongs to Harnal village, Sindagi taluk, Bijapur district. She

being basically from agriculture background, has completed her S.S.L.C. She owns 7 acres of

irrigated land. Sugarcane, pomegranate, maize, cotton etc are being cultivated in this land.

Earlier, only inorganic fertilizers were being used continuously for these crops. The continuous

use of these inorganic has decreased the yield instead of increasing.

She got detail information about the establishment and use of vermicompost when she

attended the agriculture trainings in the year 2005-06. She went back to her village and

established ten pits of 33 ft length, 4 ft width and 1.5 ft depth and started production of

vermicompost. For the production of vermicompost, the agricultural waste from her field was

utilized and produced 56t of vermicompost worth of Rs. 1.12 lakh . In the year 2005-06, she took

loan of 2.5 lakh from Syndicate bank and started the production on a larger scale with 25

vermicompost pits with 100 tonnes of vermicompost.In 2007-08 about 200 ton of vermicompost

is produced from same unit & she got Rs. 7.0 lakh profit and is subsequent year, she started

enriching the vermicompost with neem cake and getting profit of Rs. 10 lakh per annuam from

2009-10 onwards . she has started selling the vermicompost in the name of Indian organic

fertilizer and her receipt per Annam is 10 lakh . there is proverb is that if a man is educated , he

educates himself, Whereas a women is educated she educates the whole family / community.

The farmers and farm women from neighbouring villages are visiting this larger unit.

Many of them have already started producing vermicompost by seeing this unit.

There is a famous saying that “If man is educated, he educates himself whereas a

women is educated, she educates the whole family” and hence she has become a good example

for others.

Tailoring makes a family’s life : Smt. Vimala A. Chikkalki

Smt. Vimala A. Chikkalki belongs to Hitanalli village of Bijpaur district. She has

completed her education upto 9th standard and engaged in household activities. The spare time

left after her routine work was being wasted without any constructive work. The financial status

of her family was also poor. She read the information about the trainings being conducted in

Krishi Vigyan Kendra in newspapers and collected detailed information about it by approaching

the KVK. She took training in tailoring as she was interested in it. She purchased one sewing

machine with her own money and started the business on a smaller scale. She is getting monthly

income of Rs.2500/- . From this income, she has purchased two more sewing machines. She has

formed a batch of 10 girls and started giving training to them in her own village. She collects

100/- fees from each of them. Apart from making other girls self-dependent, there is also an

increase in her own income. This has also helped in providing good education to her children.

She is educating her son in a residential school. She has made insurance policies in the name of

her three children through the income that she has generated from tailoring. Overall from this

enterprise, her quality of life has improved in a span of one year and is leading a successful life.

Candle light brightens the life : Smt. Renuka Talwar

Smt. Renuka Talwar is a resident of Muddebihal, Bijapur district. After the death of her

husband, she was working as a farm labour. She has two daughters. Therefore, with an idea to

start an enterprise at home itself, she joined a self-help group. She was given training on candle

making at Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Bijapur. After the training, she was given candle mould by

Department of Agriculture. She has started her business on a small scale by preparing 150-200

candles of one and five rupee and marketing locally. She is earning a net profit of Rs. 80/- to

100/- per day. She is saving an amount of Rs. 1500/- to 2000/- monthly in a bank. This saved

amount has helped her to some extent in getting her elder daughter married.

Popularization of value added Sorghum products

Will Sorghum flakes be a boon to Sorghum growers?

Rabi sorghum is an important crop of the district and is being grown in more than 2.0

lakh hectares of agricultural land. Due to less income from this crop, alternate utility i.e value

addition to this crop was explored. In order to add value to sorghum an entrepreneur by name

Smt. Shobhalaxmi Tarase was identified. Till today she was producing only rice, maize and ragi

flakes. Since Sorghum is readily available in Bijapur district, she was motivated to prepare flakes

out of it. She being highly creative and having inclination to bring about change, readily agreed

to prepare sorghum flakes.

She was briefed about the quality characteristics of four special varieties of sorghum viz.,

Maldandi, Kempu jola (Atharga red), Kagimoti (Pop sorghum) and Sakkri mukkri. The samples

of these variety were provided to her to prepare flakes. The flakes prepared out of these four

varieties were organoleptically evaluated at Krishi Vigyan Kendra in collaboration with

Sorghum improvement project scientists. The results revealed that good quality flakes can be

produced from Maldandi and Kempu jola varieties and was also accepted by the consumers.

Realizing the profit that can be obtained from these flakes, she produced it in larger quantity and

marketed it locally. She has earned net profit of Rs. 7500/- from 5.40 q of Atharga red sorghum

flakes. There is greater demand for these flakes due to its natural red colour, crispiness and taste.

Based on this, she prepared flakes out of 10 q of Maldandi and has earned net profit of Rs.

6000/-. Sample of these have been sent to Bangalore and Tanjavur and reply is awaited.

Rice flakes are being normally consumed in Northern Karnataka. But from nutritional

point of view and quality, sorghum flakes are superior to rice and there are hopes that it will

establish its demand in food processing industry. This inturn may change the future of sorghum

growing farmers.

2008-09 Success Stories

Nandabasappa S. Choudhary – an organic farmer

Shri.NandaBasappa Choudhary of Baluti was one of the participating farmer of Front

Line Demonstration’s conducted on groundnut and onion in he year 2005-06. With this link, he

attended training programme on production of vermicompost in the year 2005-06. This inspired

him to take up organic farming as the soils of his field had become infertile due to continuous

usage of inorganic fertilizers and pesticides. After attending the training on vermicompost

production he started his own vermicompost production. Now he has 20 vermicompost pits with

annual production of 100 tons of vermicompost and 5 quintals of worms. He also has vermiwash

production unit in his field. He owns 80 acres of agricultural land and has adopted organic

farming in his field. He has large area under sugarcane which is being grown by using

vermicompost and residue incorporation without any fertilizers. The productivity of sugarcane is

very high as he has followed paired row method of cultivation where pest infestation particularly

wooly aphid is very low. He is also growing horticultural crops like banana, lime, mango, betel

vine and arecanut. He has small area under mulberry plantation and in the remaining area he is

cultivating crops like maize and onion.

He uses the vermicompost produced in his unit along with vermiwash for cultivation of

crops and for protection of crops from pest and diseases. In addition to vermiwash he uses plant

extract for plant protection.

In order to support large scale vermicompost production he has 19 animals in addition to

the farm waste available. The dung and urine collected goes to vermicompost via bio- gas plants,

he owns In this manner, Mr.Nand Basappa Choudhary is earning nearly 32 lakhs every year

from his lands by following organic farming and integrated farming system.

I. Impact of Frontline Demonstrations

1) Onion: Onion is grown in Bijapur though out the year and popular varieties are Telagi Red

and Pursangi which are local with low yields and low keeping quality. KVK, Bijapur along with

NHRDF, Hubli through many training programmes, personal discussion and FLDS combined,

made a good number of farmers to grow new variety Agri Found Light Red having good keeping

quality and high yields. The area under this variety is now about 80 ha.

2009-10

11.C. Details of impact analysis of KVK activities carried out during the reporting period

IMPACT OF FRONTLINE DEMONSTRATIONS

1) Cotton: In cotton, bollworm is an important insect pest. In order to combat the bollworm

menace Bt cotton genotypes were demonstrated in the year 2006-07, 2007-08 and 2008-09. The

area under Bt cotton was 5553 ha in 2009-10.

2) Sorghum: Bijapur is considered as rabi sorghum bowl of Karnataka and M 35-1 is important

variety grown in this region. This variety is round seeded, bold, lustrous and tolerant to drought

and shoot fly. However it is non responsive to moisture and susceptible to lodging and charcoal

rot. In this direction, KVK, Bijapur through many training programmes, personal discussion and

FLDs combined, made a good number of farmers having deep black soil to raise this new variety

CSV 22 (07-08, 08-09). This variety has crossed 600 ha in 2008-09.

3) Pomegranate: Pomegranate is one of the important fruit crop of the district with high returns

per unit area. This crop is facing a threat in the form of bacterial blight. For effective

management of this problem, technology was transferred to farmers through trainings (61

programmes, 741 participants) and front line demonstrations (2007-08 and 2008-09). This

technology was adopted in the area to extent of 480ha in 2008-09.

(iv) Write large scale adoption of technologies documented in detail in each year

(2005-06 to 2009-10)

Year- 2005-06

Cases of large scale adoption

Sunflower is a very important oil seed crop of Bijapur district. This crop is being

cultivated in all the seasons under rainfed and irrigated situations. The area under this crop

varies from 1.5 lakh ha. to 2.0 lakh ha. from year to year. Of this total area nearly 90 per cent

will be under rainfed. The major constraint for raising this crop under rainfed situations is

moisture. Keeping this constraint in mind, the wider row (120 cm) technology was demonstrated

in Bijapur and B. Bagewadi talukas. In the demonstrations the results were very encouraging

and the yield increase was upto 60.0 per cent as the rainfall was deficit since last five years. This

technology has impressed the farmers and has been adopted by in an area of nearly 1200 ha. in

B. Bagewadi taluka during this year.

2006-07

Cases of large scale adoption

1) Training Programme on Pomegranate

Pomegranate is considered as an ideal crop of this region because of its drought tolerance

nature (Suitability, nutritional values and scope for export) However the crop faced a severe

problem of bacterial blight during the year 2002-03. Farmers even could not get the cost of

cultivation. The University of Agricultural Sciences, Bijapur campus developed package for the

management of this disease and several trainings (61 trainings with 741 participants) and

awareness programmes were organized about the disease management. Many farmers not only

from this district even from other states have accepted this technology. As a result of training on

production technology with emphasis on high quality fruit production 500 tonnes of fruits were

exported in the year 2006-07.

2. Impact of training Programme on Pomegranate

Good number of trainings (71 trainings with 741 participants) and awareness

programmes were organized about the disease management. Many farmers not only from this

district even from other states have accepted this technology.

Knowledge Level of Farmers in Management of Bacterial Blight in Pomegranate

A study was undertaken with sample size of 50 trained farmers to asses their knowledge

level of bacterial blight management in pomegranate. In this study, cent percent of the

respondents had correct knowledge that oily spots appears during cloudy weather or at the time

of drizzling. Majority of farmers had knowledge on bacterial blight that the affected plants

should be removed and burnt (96.00%), application of Bordeaux mixture 1% before pruning, and

disinfection of secature and spray of ethrel for defoliation was known to 92 per cent of them. A

great majority of farmers had knowledge on fortnightly sprays of Blitox with streptocycline and

spray of micro nutrients like boron, zinc sulphate, magnesium sulphate and calcium nitrate

31. What are the special features of your KVK which attract the farmers to the KVK?

Bijapur district comes under Northern Dry Zone of karnataka (Region II, Zone 3) and is

characterized by the lowest rainfall in Karnataka state with an average rainfall of 579.0 mm. The

district comprises five talukas namely Basavana Bagewadi, Bijapur, Muddebihal, Indi and

Sindagi. The five talukas receive rainfall between 565 to 590 mm. About 60 per cent of the

annual rainfall is received in the normal monsoon season (June-September), 14 per cent in the

pre monsoon (April-May) and about 23 per cent in the post monsoon months (October-

November) generally the remaining months are dry. The mean monthly maximum temperature

varies from 29.3 oC (December) to a maximum of 39.0 0C (May). The moisture content of the air

in the district varies from about 35 per cent during February, March and April to a maximum of

about 70 per cent in July, August and September. The district is characterized by high wind

velocity especially during monsoon months. The wind speed varies between 3.6 KMPH

(December) to 13.2 KMPH (July)

The Kharif crops are mainly grown in shallow eroded black soils (chalka soils), shallow

light soils and sandy loams. On account of their low moisture retentive capacity, better

infiltration rate, these soils get moistened with early rains in the month of June. The important

kharif crops grown are bajra, greengram, groundnut and sunflower. Besides these main crops,

pigeon pea, horsegram and sesamum are the other crops grown. Common mixed cropping

systems in the region are bajra+redgram and groundnut +redgram. Minor pulses like blackgram

and cowpea are also grown as mixed crops along with the above main crops, mainly in talukas

which have shallow black or red sandy loam soils. The monsoon (Kharif) cropping situation

covers to an extent of 25-30% of the total net cropped areas.

In this region, rabi (post- monsoon) crops are predominately grown, covering about 56

percent of the total sown area due occurrence of vertisols and assured rainfall received by North

East monsoon in the months of September and October. The important rabi crops grown are rabi

sorghum, sunflower, bengalgram and wheat. Under well irrigation, where water supply is

assured, generally fruit crops like banana, grape, pomegranate and lime are grown extensively in

Bijapur.

The frontline demonstrations conducted by the KVK over several years on aspects like

moisture conservation, promotion genotypes and management of diseases have substantially

helped in increasing the production and productivity of different crops like sunflower, redgram,

Bt.Cotton, groundnut, sorghum and pomegranate in different cluster villages. These

interventions have generated an additional revenue to the tune of Rs.21 crores.

118

The training cum demonstration programmes organized by KVK has helped in creating

awareness among the farmers about new technologies like new genotypes, moisture conservation

and integrated crop management. Adoption of these improved technologies by several farmers

might have generated an additional income more than the mentioned above.

The training conducted for extension personnel on different aspects of agriculture and

allied subjects will have amplified impact as they will be conveying the technologies to several

needy farmers. Consultancy and field visits have helped in adopting the suitable technologies for

management of crop resulting in good harvest. The other activities like seminars, group

meetings, radio and TV programmes have also contributed for knowledge gain and adoption of

technologies to some extent leading to change in the economic returns.

The need based and skill oriented vocational trainings such as vermiculturing, dairy

management, sheet goat rearing, sericulture and home science activities like candle and agarbatti

making, tailoring and value addition to farm produce have helped in creating self employment

and thereby making many farm families self supportive.

32. Is there any bottleneck in flow of fund to your KVK from the host organization? - No
