Boosting Income and livelihood using AGRIPRO in
Cucumber Cultivation
Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Kendrapara
Sh Akhaya Singh, S/o-Sh Birabara Singh, 50 years old man, a native of
Raghudeipur village which is coming under Derabis block and 15 kms
away from KVK, Kendrapara.
Since long he is regularly cultivating vegetables in the same piece of land.
He does not follow any crop rotation practice in his farm. Akhaya started
cucumber cultivation on a commercial basis in his 1 acre of backyard land.
Cucumber c.v Bakhra was sown in the month of January. After long
waiting, poor flower came up in the crop field. So he came to KVK office
for technical guidance from Scientist. With the support of KVK, he is now
able to manage his crop land without any loss.
Obseving the constraint, KVK Scientists recommended 2 gm of Agripro per
lit. of water as a foliar spray within seven days interval. Application of
agripro in the main field stimulates synergistically, various bio-functions
leading to enhance utilization of nutrients and biochemical reserves in the
plant system at critical produce and high yields.
Salient Features
The smile shines on the tanned face of the Akhaya. Total expenditure
made during cucumber cultivation was Rs. 12,640 where the gross income
Rs.49, 600 with a net profit of Rs.36, 960 and BC ratio is 3.92. The family
are now getting bumper crop of cucumber which they hope will not only
solve their financial problems but will also allow them to build up more
confidence about their ability to earn money. Akhaya says proudly, a year
back I was a hired labourer but now I am hiring others to work in my field.
At last Akhaya conveyed his heartfelt thanks to KVK for noble initiative
and everlasting guidance.
