Hence, it is recommended for Kharif season in Shirunja cluster villages. Nil Groundnut is the major crop of Shirunja village. Farmers are facing Productivity Constraints due to low yielding of TMV-2 variety. Farmers were enthusiastic to know the performance of new varieties under On-Farm Testing. They actively participated in different stages of crop growth and provided their reactions and suggestion. Farmers were of the opinion that the productivity of Kadari-6 is more compared to other two varieties. But it fetches less market price (Difference of Rs. 200 per quintal) compared to other varieties. However, less market price is compensated by its higher yield. Moreover, if Kernals are separated from pods & sold, it fetches higher price than other 2 varieties as there is good demand for bold Kernals in local market.

Hence this is refined by bringing the cotton bag to front portion. Secondly the extra support given at neck & waist portion of the refined bag reduces load to the women s waist, thus reduces drudgery. The openings of the bag in refined cotton harvesting bag are stitched at low length and is easy to keep the plucked cotton. This again reduces the drudgery.

Sometimes harvested cotton gets adherence of mud particles as & when cotton falls on the ground due to more weight of cotton The cotton harvesting bag is tied to the women s back portion. The hands have to be repeatedly go back every time to keep the plucked cotton. Sometimes due to wind the openings of cotton harvesting bag are closed and it takes more time and physical strain to keep the plucked cotton The refined cotton bag is modification over conventional method with extra support given at neck and waist portion of the bag It reduces the load on women s waist, that helps to increase the harvesting efficiency and reduces the strain. Harvesting efficiency Medium Less More : The results of refined cotton harvesting bag are encouraging as it is more comfortable and suitable to farmwomen : There was slight hesitation of farm women to use the bags for harvesting of cotton during initial period, but it was overcome after repeated usage : Farm women were actively participated and tested the utility of refined cotton bag during different picking stages of cotton and finally concluded that the refined cotton bag is comfortable in terms of reduced drudgery and better harvesting efficiency.

Number 4 Success Stories / Case studies, if any (two or three pages write-up write up on each case with suitable action photographs. The Success Stories / Case Studies need not be restricted to the reporting period). I. ADOPTION OF IMPROVED SEEDS ENHANCED THE NET INCOME Mr. Subhas Shivappa Hosangadi is an a enthusiastic farmer leading Kittur Chennamma Farmers Club of Belavanaki village in Ron taluka. He owns 25 acres of dryland cultivating onion, bengalgram and rabijowar. He attended a training organized by KVK during 2010 on ICM practices in bengalgram and rabijowar crops. During the interaction with KVK scientists, he learnt about new variety JG-11 JG in bengalgram and CSV variety of rabijowar. He knew that majority of farmers of his village use local cultivars rs of Jowar and Bengalgram which are not high yielders. During the he rabi season of 2011, Mr. Subhas purchased JG-11 JG variety of seeds of bengalgram & CSV-22 CSV variety of rabi jowar from KVK. He took up cultivation of bengalgram in 5 acres and rabijowar in 5 acres and adopted the technologies as suggested by the KVK scientists. During the different crop stages, he took the advisory services of KVK experts through mobile phone. He harvested the bumper crop of bengalgram and rabi jowar. The economics of cultivation is presented below Name of Crop Area / ha Situation Technology adopted Rabijowar 2 Rainfed Bengalgram 2 Rainfed CSV-22 variety Seed priming with CaCl2 Seed treatment with biofertilizers and sulphur JG-11 seeds Seed treatment with trichoderma & bio-fertilizers Topping Spray of urea IPM practices Yield (Q/ha) before After training training % Increase in yield Mr. Subhas has got 50 per cent increased increase yield in bengalgram and 44 per cent in rabi jowar with additional income of Rs per hectare from bengalgram and Rs from rabi jowar. He retained all the 24 quintals of bengalgram and 50 per cent of Jowar as seed for for next season. During and he disseminated the seed eed and ICM practices to his club members and other farmers. As a result of

82 82 this, about 30 per cent of the area under bengalgram and rabi jowar were with new varieties in Belavanaki village of Ron Block. His efforts pavved the way for getting additional returns to him as well as to his fellow farmers by adoption of improved seeds and ICM technologies. II. RECORD PRODUCTIVITY OF GROUNDNUT OF A FLD FARMER Mr. Laxman Lalappa Rathod of Gajendragad Gajendr in Ron taluka never dreamt that he would get Rs lakh income from one hectare cultivation of summer groundnut. Thanks for his participation in Front Line Demonstration programme on rabi summer groundnut organized by KVK during Mr. Rathod has been cultivating summer groundnut since long time and the productivity never crossed 15 quintal of pods per hectare. After attending the training programme on Integrated Crop Management practices in groundnut, he could analyze that use of local cultivar, incidence of collar rot, criss-cross cross sowing method, imbalanced application of nutrients and improper method of management of leaf minor are the reasons for low productivity of the crop in his field. Under Front Line Demonstration programme, KVK laid out demonstration on ICM practices pract with new variety TAG as introduction. Technological components demonstrated in his field were single row method of sowing (12 ), use of 150 kg of seed per hectare, seed treatment with carboxin, bio-fertilizers, bio balanced nutrition along with application cation of zinc sulphate and ferrous sulphate and timely management of leaf minor pest. During the periodical visits,, KVK experts gave him need based advisory services. Mr. Rathod harvested bumber crop of groundnut with the productivity of 34 quintals per hectare. This is the record productivity in the village. This productivity is double of the productivity of groundnut which he used to cultivate with traditional practices. He says that he got gross income of Rs lakh per hectare and net profit of Rs lakh (CB ratio : 2.79). During the Kharif seson of , , Mr. Rathod has taken seed production of TAG-24 TAG variety in 1.2 hectares to get the seeds for next rabi summer season. Mr. Rathod is an active member of Gajendragad Farmers Forum and through this he is propagating the technologies of groundnut cultivation to other farmers to enable them also to get higher productivity. III. ORGANIC FARMING FOR SUSTAINABLE LIVELIHOOD Here is a success story of a hard working farmer of Kurthakoti Kurth village in Gadag block who has adopted organic farming practices for sustainable livelihood. Mr. Basavaradeppa Tattimani owns 32 acres of dryland. He has adopted organic farming practices in 15 acres and 17 acres under inorganic farming practices. Under the guidance of KVK experts, he has established vermi-compost compost unit having production capacity of 10 tons per annum. He utilizes the agricultural residues of his farm as the raw

83 83 material for his vermicompost unit. He says that use of leaves of cassia, subabul & cotton stalks in the vermicompost pit produces good quality vermicompost. Every year, he applies 3-4 quintals of vermicompost per acre to chilli, groundnut, onion, bengalgram and rabijowar crops. Apart from this, he applies 7-8 tractor of cow-dung per acre. He also adopt sheep penning in 15 acres. He says that the fertility of the soil in his 15 acres piece of land has improved due to addition of organic manure. During , Mr. Tattimani has harvested 32 quintals of groundnut, 4 quintals of chilli, 90 quintals of onion, 12 quintals of bengalgram and 13 quintals of rabi jowar per hectare. He says that was a drought year and he could get better yield because of adoption of organic practices. During the same year, he suffered losses from 17 acres of land where he has adopted inorganic farming practices. Mr. Tattimani uses plant based extract for management of sucking pest in chilli and onion. For management of pod borer in bengalgram, he uses neem based products and sometimes manual picking and destruction is practiced. The adoption of organic farming practices has made him a happy man as he has been getting sustainable income for the livelihood. He says that hard work, commitment and technical support of KVK have helped him to achieve the success. Now he is planning to convert his remaining 17 acres into organic farm. IV. A SUCCESSFUL WOMEN ENTERPRENEUR IN FOOD PROCESSING : Smt. Prema Balappanavar aged 36 years from Kurthakoti village in Gadag taluk hails from an agricultural family. Her husband owns 6 acres of dry land which is the main source of livelihood. They have four children. Elder daughter is married and younger daughters and son are studying. Agricultural income was not stable (Rs to Rs per year) and not sufficient enough to meet the family expenditure. During Smt. Prema joined Mankamma Devi Self Help Group organized by KVK. She attended training programme organized by KVK on capacity building on value added products from agricultural enterprise and entrepreneurship development programmes. After attending trainings, Smt. Prema was keen to start the enterprise of vermicelli, chilli products and crisp roti preparation. KVK facilitated her to purchase vermicelli machine and roti machine with the financial support from her Self Help Group. Periodical guidance on production of vermicelli, chilli powder, food products, methi-chilli & roti preparation along with labeling, packing and marketing was given by KVK. Initially the vermicelli enterprise was established during and later chilli value addition, roti enterprise and other food products were added during KVK made publicity of her products through its network of SHGs, KVK s Marketing Outlet and Wednesday Bazaar initiated by KVK at Hulkoti village in Gadag district. Through these efforts, marketing channels were developed for her products.

Grains of ragi, rice and rawa (wheat suji) are purchased from market for preparation of ragi, rice and wheat vermicelli. (b) Process (Methodology) Vermicelli production : For preparation of wheat vermicelli, fine wheat suji (Churotirava) is procured from the market. The dough is prepared by mixing suji, water and 5 gm of salt per kg of suji. The dough is prepared in such a way that it should be consistent. The dough is put into the vermicelli machine. The machine produces vermicelli threads. The threads are trimmed to length of inches and is put on a bamboo stick for drying. It is dried for 1 day in sun. After this, bundles of vermicelli each weighting gms are made and then packed in carton box. Ragi, Rice and foxtail millet vermicelli are prepared by mixing 50 percent of wheat suji with 50 percent of ragi rice or foxtail millet flour. Remaining procedure is same as that of preparation of wheat vermicelli.

85 85 Jowar Crisp roti production (From machine) For every kg of jowar, 50 gms of rice is mixed during milling. The dough is prepared by having enough strength and stickiness. A lump of dough weighting 50-60gms is placed on a plastic sheet smeared with cooking oil. Another plastic sheet is covered on the dough. This is put in to the roti machine and is pressed through the leg operated pedal. The roller presses the dough in to round shape roti. Then the rotis are baked on hot tawa and kept near Chula to make it crisp. Chutneys: Oilseed crops such as groundnut, linseed & pulse crop bengalgram etc. are roasted and mixed with chilli powder to prepare various types of chutneys. Sweets: By mixing roasted & coarsely powdered groundnut, sesame seeds & other crop grains with jaggery, many types of sweets are prepared. (c) Man power involvement: For preparation of vermicelli production, family members are involved. As the enterprise is seasonal in nature (March to May), the children of Smt. Prema assist her in the production of vermicelli during holidays. About 2-3 man power is required per day. Every day she prepares about 100 Kg of vermicelli. Usually,labours (2-3 nos) are employed for roti & other product preparation and labours are paid Rs. 100 per day. (d) Package and handling: Wheat vermicelli bundles of each weighing gm are packed in carton boxes. Each carton box contains 5 Kg of vermicelli. Depending on the demand from customer, vermicelli bundels from carton boxed are taken and sold. Rotis are very crisp and thin. Hence rotis are packed in carton boxes to avoid breakage. Depending on the supply order rotis are packed in carton boxes. Chilli powder,methichillies and other products are packed in standup pouches weighing 100, 200, 500 and 1000 grams.

86 86 Status of entrepreneur before and after the enterprise Before starting the enterprise, Smt. Prema was confined to household activities and had no income. Family income from agriculture was not enough. Getting education to the children was difficult. After the establishment of vermicelli, roti and chilli based enterprise, Smt. Prema started earning the income. Every year she earns net profit of Rs from vermicelli enterprise and Rs from roti enterprise and Rs from chilli powder and methichilli enterprise. She earns Rs per annum from sale of groundnut and sesame chutney and Rs.7300 from sale of groundnut and Sesamum sweets. She has repaid loan of Rs taken for purchase of vermicelli and roti machines. She has invested her income for her children s education. She got her elder daughter married off and other children are studying in College and High School. Children help in her enterprise during holidays. She has been recognized in the Self Help Group and in the village as a hardworking entrepreneur. Out of her earnings, she saves Rs.100 per day for the future. There has been a sea change in the standard of living of her family. Before the start of the enterprise, she hesitated to talk with the people. Now she learnt the art of communication which has helped her to develop her enterprise. Economics of Enterprise: The success of any enterprise depends on the net profit gained by the entrepreneur. Eversince the establishment of vermicelli and roti enterprise, Smt. Prema has been getting regular income. She gets net profit of Rs.1250 from the sale of 100 Kg of wheat vermicelli, Rs.2900 from sale of 100 Kg of foxtail/ragi vermicelli. A net profit of Rs.1750 is earned from the sale of 100 crisproties. From sale of 100 Kg chilli powder, she gets net profit of Rs.9000 and from sale of 25 Kg methichilli, she earns Rs.3250 as net profit. Sale of 100 Kg of groundnut and sesamum chutney fetches net income of Rs From sweet items prepared from groundnut and sesamum a net income of Rs.2300 to 2500 is realized for every 1000 pieces of sweets.
