Technology - Wilt Management in Pulses

Particular : Name of KVK	Details : Mau
Name of Technology	Biological wilt management in chickpea
Character of Technology	Chickpea is important pulse crop of Mau district in rabi season grown in 1385 ha area. However, there is high incidence (10-40%) of wilt resulting in yield loss to 10-25%. For management of the wilt, KVK assessed incorporation of seed treatment with Trichoderma @ 10 g/ kg seed and soil treatment with Trichoderma @ 5kg with 125 compost /ha in soil which reduced disease incidence 25 to 30% and yield was increased by 41.6 per cent over farmers practice(14.2 qt/ ha).
Impact of the Technology	In the selected Village, chick pea is important pulse crop of Eastern Uttar Pradesh in rabi season. However, there is high incidence of wilt resulting in yield loss. KVK, Mau conducted on-farm trial to assess the control measure. The assess technology of seed treatment with Trichoderma @ 10 g/ kg seed and soil treatment with Trichoderma @5kg with 125 compost /ha in soil.
a) Adoption Status	Through several extension activities, 55% chickpea growers adopted this technology and it has been horizontally spread in 138 ha area of the district.
b) Area to be Spread	There is wide scope of this technology in district and it’s to be horizontally spread in 1382 ha area in the district.
c) Expected Increase in Production	A total of 25 % increase in production of chick pea is expected through application of this technology.
d) Income	Net income of Rs 48600/ ha was increased from demonstrated field which was higher than the farmers practice (Rs. 18670/ ha). A total of 10 to 25 % increase in the income of chick pea growers of the district is expected through application of this technology.

Technology- RCT in R-W cropping system

Particular : Name of KVK	Details : Mau
Name of Technology	Use of ZT machine for wheat sowing
Character of Technology	Wheat is important cereal crop of rabi season in Mau district grown in 94160 ha area. More than 3000 ha area are under water logged condition where long duration rice crop is grown. Due to delayed harvesting of rice and late sowing of wheat crop, the yield of crop is too low. In 2008-09 KVK Mau started popularizing ZT m/c and distributed one machine each in all the nine blocks of the district under custom hiring basis to the youths selected after survey. In the first year only 25 villages covered with 243 ha area. But gradually, after organizing farmer fairs gosthies, trainings and demonstrations, the technology popularized in a big way in the district.
Impact of the Technology	At present in the district there are 86 ZT machine purchased by farmers and 432 villages covered with 3492 ha area. Productivity of wheat was 21q/ha in 2008-09 was increased to 29 q/ha in previous year. Due to low cost, suitable for late condition, increase in yield survivability against wind blow it became very popular in district.
a) Adoption Status	Through several extension activities, 31% wheat growers adopted this technology and it has been horizontally spread in 3492 ha area of the district.
b) Area to be Spread	There is wide scope of this technology in district and it’s to be horizontally spread in 3492 ha area in the district.
c) Expected Increase in Production	A total of 10-15 % increase in production of wheat is expected through application of this technology.
d) Income	Net income of Rs 22450/ ha was increased from demonstrated field which was higher than the farmers practice (Rs. 12350/ ha). A total of 10 to 25 % increase in the income of wheat growers of the district is expected through application of this technology.

Technology - Raised Bed Planting in Pigeon pea crops

Particular : Name of KVK	Details : Mau
Name of Technology	Raised Bed Planting in Pigeon pea crops
Character of Technology	Pigeon pea is important pulse crop of Mau district Rabi season grown in 2330 ha area. However, area of pigeon pea in district decreases fron 2446 ha due to high incidence (10-50%) of wilt resulting in yield loss to 10-45%. For management of the wilt KVK assessed incorporation of seed treatment with Trichoderma @ 10 g/ kg seed and soil treatment with Trichoderma @5kg with 125 compost /ha in soil with raised bed planter which reduced disease incidence 38 to 51% and yield was increased by 42.61 per cent over farmers practice(18.24 qt./ ha).
Impact of the Technology	In the selected Village. pigeon pea is important pulse crop of Eastern Uttar Pradesh in Rabi season. However, there is high incidence of wilt resulting in yield loss. KVK, Mau conducted on-farm trial and FLD on raised bed planting in pigeon pea its decreases wilt incidence and increases the yield too. Now at present more than 340 grower adopted this technology and area increases day by day.
a) Adoption Status	Through several extension activities, 32% pigeonpea growers adopted this technology and it has been horizontally spread in 568 ha area of the district.
b) Area to be Spread	There is wide scope of this technology in district and it’s to be horizontally spread in 2400 ha area in the district.
c) Expected Increase in Production	A total of 42 % increase in production of pigeonpea is expected through application of this technology.
d) Income	Net income of Rs 52300/ ha was increased from demonstrated field which was higher than the farmers practice (Rs. 28370/ ha). A total of 15 to 30 % increase in the income of chick pea growers of the district is expected through application of this technology.

Technology — Layer Farming

Particular : Name of KVK	Details : Mau
Name of Technology	Layer Farming
Character of Technology	Sri Sarvesh Rai started layer farming with unit size of a 10 000 layer now at present. He had been working with layer farming with 2500 layer bird due to less experience and technical knowledge in mean time he got good profit by this entrepreneurship with the help of KVK’s scientist and motivated and earlier profit encourage him to move on the large scale layer forming

Technology — Layer Farming

Particular : Name of KVK	Details : Mau
Name of Technology	Backyard Poltry
Character of Technology	Farm woman involved in poultry rearing had 5- 20 Desi birds. The birds were reared in the backyards on household wastes. The birds reared under such conditions had poor growth performance, produced 60- 70 eggs/annum and were frequently suffering from respiratory disease, conjunctivitis and enteritis.
