68 66 10.C. Success Stories / Case studies, if any (two or three pages write-up on each case with suitable action photographs. The Success Stories / Case Studies need not be restricted to the reporting period). I) IFS APPROACH TRIPLED THE INCOME OF A SMALL FARMER Shirunja is a small village in Gadag block located 22 kms from KVK. The village was adopted by KVK during Majority of the farm families belongs to small farmers categories. Shri. Kotrappa Kappattanavar, aged 58 years is one of the small farmer participated in KVK s Front Line Demonstration programme on Integrated Farming System. The farmer owns 5 acres of land having red sandy loam soil type. He used to cultivate only field crops viz., maize and Bt. Cotton with limited irrigation through borewell. Income from field crops was not remunerative to the farmer due to high cost of cultivation and fluctuating, market prices. He used to get an income of Rs.70,000 to 80,000 from 5 acre land and dairy enterprise. KVK studied the resources of the farmer and introduced Integrated Farming System in his farm during Based on the resources available with the farmer, KVK introduced mango (25 no.), cashewnut (20 no.), coconut (20 no.), Grasses (Hybrid Napier, Rhodes, Guinea), azolla unit, and poultry birds (10 no.). Along with these components, KVK introduced vegetable cultivation as an intercrop in mango and cashewnut. These components were established very well in his farm under KVK guidance. During Mr. Kotrappa earned an income of Rs lakh from vegetable cultivation (Tomato and Coriander), field crops of Maize & Bt.cotton, Poultry and Dairy enterprises. This has motivated the farmer to take up some more IFS components. During , KVK introduced vermicompost under FLD programme and sericulture enterprise with the support of a scheme of Sericulture Department of Government of Karnataka. Under the scheme, the farmer planted 2 acres of V-1 variety of mulberry and constructed a rearing shed. During the same year, the farmer produced 10 tonns of Vermicompost and used it for his farm and thus, he reduced the cost incurred on purchase of chemical fertilizers. He also harvested 2 crops of 50kg and 60kg, earning an income of Rs.30,000. He also started selling fodder slips to other farmers. His income from dairy unit of 2 cows also increased due to feeding of green fodder and azolla. His total income during from sericulture enterprise unit, dairy, vegetable cultivation (coriander, cucumber ridgegourd, brinjal, tomato) and field crops was Rs lakhs. In the subsequent years of and the farmer s income was significantly increased from sericulture enterprise as 5-6 crops were harvested in a year. His income from vegetables cultivation, viz., coriander, cucumber and ridgegourd was also enhanced with the advisory support from KVK scientists. During , the farmer s total income from various earning components was Rs lakhs. Shri. Kotrappa attribute the success to adoption of various IFS components under the guidance of KVK. He says that his income would to be further increased in the coming years once the mango, cashewnut and coconut plantations start bearing. His farm has become a model in the village as many farmers visit his farm asking for advice for adoption of IFS components. He says that integration of various resources of Integrated Farming System coupled with efficient utilization of human resources in the form of family labour is the key factor for his successful farming. Further he says that, continuous technical support from KVK helped him to triple the income from his five acres land.

69 67 II) DAIRY ENTERPRISE AND FODDER SLIPS BANK OF A TRIBAL FARMER Nabhapur in Gadag block is a small village inhabited by tribals, locally known as Lambanis. The village has 138 households. Agriculture supported by dairy is the primary occupation of the people. Income from agriculture was irregular due to vagaries of Monsoon and dairy enterprise was not as much flourished till KVK made interventions in through promotion of Grass and Fodder crops under Front Line Demonstrations. Mr. Thavarappa Vasanappa Nayak is one of the farmer participated in FLD programme on fodder and grass. He owns 4 acres of irrigated land. He had one Jersey cow and planted 10 guntas of grasses of Hybrid Napier, Rhodes, Guinea and Signal grass under the guidance of KVK. He has also undergone the training at KVK on scientific dairy management practices. He has also established Azolla unit. Feeding of grass and Azolla to his only cow has increased the milk yield from 6 liters to 10 liters per day. Within a year, he earned an income of Rs. 70,000/-. This has encouraged him and he purchased 2 jersey cows and one buffaloe during and also extended his grass and fodder unit to 20 gunta. When asked him about balanced nutrition in milch animals Mr. Nayak says that, apart from feeding grass he also feed Dani mixture, feed prepared locally from Ragi, Jowar and Maize grains grown on his farm. Further, he says that balanced feeding has helped him to raise his income as animals attain heat regularly and conception is timely. At present, he is getting an annual income of Rs.2.10 lakhs from the sale of milk, curd and butter. His son and wife assist him in the dairy activities. He says that dairy is profitable when family members work in the enterprise and adopt scientific management practices. Mr. Nayak has not only improved his income from dairy enterprise but also responsible for spread of grass technology within Nabhapur and surrounding villages. During the period from to , he has provided grass slips to 21 farmers belonging to 17 villages of the district. He has provided the grass slips free of cost. Apart from supplying grass slips, he also shared his experience with other dairy farmers. He says that most of dairy owners in Nabhapur have taken grass slips from him. His farm has become fodder slips bank for other dairy entrepreneurs. When asked about his future plans, he says that water is the limiting factor for further expansion of the unit. However, he is hopeful of good rains that might improve his ground water and would think of expanding of his dairy unit. III) CASHEWNUT: A CASH CROP FOR GADAG DISTRICT SUCCESS STORY OF A FARMER: Krishi Vigyan Kendra is not sparing any technology that addresses the livelihood constraints of farm families caused by frequent occurrence of agriculture drought in Gadag district. After succeeding promotion of dry land mango cultivation that has brought smile on the faces of the farmers of red soil area, KVK has introduced cashewnut cultivation in the district. The crop is new to the district. KVK consulted Scientists of ICAR-Central Coastal Agricultural Research Institute, Goa and Directorate of Cashew Research, Puttur and planted cashewnut in 3 acres in KVK s Instructional Farm in the year There has been a lot of discussion between KVK Scientists and farmers regarding the adaptability and profitability of cashewnut cultivation. The crop was established well in KVK s Instructional Farm.

70 Shri Siddappa Karikatti, an innovative farmer of Hulkoti village in Gadag district who was impressed by the cashewnut orchard in KVK s Farm, introduced cashewnut (Variety:Ullal-1) in his farm during as an inter crop in intra row spacing of his 6 years old mango orchard of 3-32 acres. A total of 180 cashewnut grafts were planted. KVK facilitated him to procure grafts from Directorate of Cashewnut Research, Puttur and provided the guidance of cashewnut crop cultivation. After seeing the successful establishment of cashewnut, the farmer introduced another 100 plants as an inter crop in his adjacent mango orchard of 2 acres during It is interesting to note that there is no irrigation source for the farmer. The crop is established very well under rainfed situation with supplementary watering through his own water tankers. The water was brought from nearby Chikkahandigol village tank. Mr. Karikatti says that 18 tankers (3000 litres capacity) are needed to water the plants once. He says that during establishment stages of crop during fist year, he used to water 5-6 times in a year. Now the crop has been established very well and watering is given only during flowering and fruiting stages, he says. There are some 80 gaps in the orchard which have been filled by planting Vengurla-4 variety brought from Fruit Research Station, Vengurla, Maharashtra State. 68 Apart from harvesting good yield from Mango crop, Mr. Karikatti harvested first batch of cashewnut fruits during On an average he harvested 1 kg of raw fruits per plant. A total of 3.3 quintals of raw fruits were harvested. He sold the fruits to the traders in Belgaum city at the rate of Rs.104/kg, thus earning an income of Rs.46,000 from 3-32 acres. During the subsequent year, 3.70 quintals of raw fruits were harvested. Nuts were sold at Rs.150/kg, earning an income of Rs.59,000/-. Mr. Karikatti says that this is a good income considering drought situation during and Apart from income from cashewnut, he got good income from Mango (Rs.64,000/-) and intercrop of Greengram crop (Rs.70,500/-) When asked about comparison of cashewnut cultivation with that of mango, Mr. Karikatti says that, cashew is hardy crop, less labour intensive and minimum incidence of pest of disease. The fruiting season of both cashew and mango are same and hence there is least maintenance cost. Further, he says that mango is an alternative bearer and cashew is regular bearer. Profitability in cashewnut cultivation is more as prices are stable compared to mango and mango fruits are perishable in nature whereas cashewnuts can be stored for longer period. The profitability in cashewnut can be further enhanced if processing facilities of raw fruits are made available. The apple which is left unutilised can be processed into different value added products, he says. Looking into the successful cultivation of cashewnut by Mr. Siddappa Karikatti and in KVK Farm, 60 acres of area has been brought under cashewnut cultivation by the farmers in Hulkoti and surrounding villages under the guidance of KVK Scientists. Further, KVK motivated these farmers to organised in to an association named Cashewnut Farmers Association. KVK has been guiding the association members in cashewnut production technology and value addition activities. In the years to come it is expected that more area would be brought under cashewnut cultivation and more profitability through processing and value addition activities.

71 69 10.D. Give details of innovative methodology or innovative technology of Transfer of Technology developed and used during the year Innovative methodology of TOT developed and used during the year 1) TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY THROUGH AWARD WINNING PROGRESSIVE FARMERS TO OTHER FARMERS KVK with the support from University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad and Department of Agriculture, Gadag organised an unique training programme involving Award Winning Progressive Farmers as Resource Persons for the training. KVK identified 8 Farmer Resource Persons who are expert in the area of organic farming, integrated farming system, crop diversification, dry land horticulture and fodder cultivation. These farmers trained 60 other farmers in two batches. The 3 days duration training programme involved 1 day for orientation on the innovative activities adopted by the award winning farmers. Then field visits were organised for 2 days to the farms of Progressive Farmers. This programme has helped the farmers to know the innovative farming method adopted by the Progressive Farmers. 2) TECHNOLOGY UPSCALING THROUGH FARMERS PRODUCER ORGANISATIONS Government Institutions, NABARD and other Agencies have been promoting Farmers Producer Organisations, Farmers Associations, Farmers Interest Groups / Commodity Groups to address the issues confronted by the farming community. Three Farmers Producer Companies under the aegis of Department of Horticulture and NGOs have been established in Gadag district comprising of 2000 farmers spread in 23 villages. There are 8 Village Farmers Associations promoted by NGO having 1734 member farmers. KVK has also promoted 107 Farmer Interest Groups / Commodity Groups in 35 villages comprising of 1935 farmers. KVK has been utilising these Forums of Farmer Producer Organisations for upscaling of frontline technologies. KVK has organised Front Line Demonstrations in crops and enterprises through FPOs, conducted need based on and off campus training programmes for members of FPOs. KVK issued soil health cards to FPO members and developed business plans in seed production of onion and supplied foundation seeds. Exposure visit of FPO on Horticultural crops was organised to KAPPEC, Hubli for learning on post harvest management of Mango fruits and marketing. Diagnostic visits and farm advisory services were also being rendered to FPO members. KVK also developed Mango production manual and other technical bulletins and provided to FPOs. About 3000 members of FPOs, FIGs/CIGs have registered for Kisan Mobile Advisory services of KVK. There has been a wide spread adoption of technologies by FPO members. Technology related to dryland mango cultivation, vermicomposting, Azolla & fodder cultivation, cycle weeder, spiral separator, improved seeds of greengram, bengalgram, onioin and appropriate plant protection measures have been widely adopted by members. This mechanism of transfer of technology of KVK has not only upscaled the frontier technologies but also enhanced the extent of reach of KVK in the district.

72 70 3) TOT THROUGH KVK-ATMA LINKAGE PROGRAMME: KVK has extended it s extension reach in the district through development of collaborative mechanism with ATMA scheme. Monthly interactive meeting between KVK and ATMA staff is held at KVK. ATMA staff bring field level problems from ATMA villages and discuss with the KVK scientists. Relevant literatures developed by KVK are supplied to ATMA staff as well as for farmers in ATMA villages. Apart from this mechanism, off-campus training programmes during both Kharif and Rabi season are held in all ATMA adopted villages for Farmers Interest Groups (FIGs). Regular field visits are also organised for addressing field level problems. 4) TOT THROUGH EXTENSION FUNCTIONARIES OF ZILLA PANCHAYAT: Under National Rural Employment Guarantee Programme, 75 Bare Foot Technicians have been recruited recently by Zilla Panchayat, Gadag. KVK has organised one day orientation programme for Bare Foot Technicians in composting, vermicomposting and azolla production. Method demonstrations were organised on vermicompost and azolla production. The objective of the programme was to create awareness among the farmers on vermicompost and azolla production technology through Bare Foot Technicians. They were also provided relevant literatures on the technology. These Bare Food Technicians have become Resource Person for the farmers seeking information on vermicompost and azolla production. 10.E.

Cases of large scale adoption 1) Profitable intercropping system of Maize + Redgram (5:1) for drylands Gadag is the drought prone district that comes under the agro-climatic zone of Northern Dry Zone-3 and Region-2 of Karnataka State. The climate of the district is semiarid and annual rainfall varies from mm. Agricultural droughts are very common with probability of more than 70 percent. The rainfall is usually erratic and is characterised by long dry spells in between two rains during Kharif season. This affects the successful crop production of major crops like maize, greengram, groundnut, onion, rabi sorghum etc in the district. To address this climatic variation and in order to solve productivity constraint, KVK introduced intercropping system of Maize + Redgram (5:1) in the year for 20 farmers in 20 Acre area in Mahalingapur village of Gadag block. This intercropping demonstration has shown good impact on the farmers even in severe drought situation. The net returns obtained from maize sole crop (Local Check) was Rs.712/ha and from maize+redgram (5:1) intercropping system (Demonstration), it was Rs.11374/ha. The maize + redgram (5:1) intercropping system has become economically viable than sole crop of maize in dry land situation characterised by long dry spells and erratic rains. KVK popularised this intercrop technology through training programmes and extension activities. During there was large scale adoption of technology in Mahalingapur cluster of villages in Gadag block and

78 Kochalapur cluster of villages in Ron block. About 40 percent of farmers cultivating sole crop of maize have switched over to maize + redgram intercropping system in KVK adopted villages. 76 2) Large scale adoption of onion seed production activities Onion is the major vegetable crop cultivated in Gadag district of Karnataka State. It is mainly grown in Kharif season under rainfed situation. Since many years farmers have been using traditional Bellary Red variety. There has been a gradual decrease in the productivity and quality of bulb. ICAR-KVK, Gadag in Karnataka plunged in to action and made problem-cause analysis which revealed that traditional variety is susceptible to bulb rot (Fusarium oxysporum) and Alternaria purple blotch disease (Alternaria porri) making heavy loss to farmers. Looking in to the importance of the crop to the district economy, KVK conducted On-Farm Testing and assessed Arka Kalyan variety released by ICAR-IIHR, Bengaluru for performance against bulb rot and purple blotch disease and higher productivity. The variety was tested in 6 farmers fields for 3 years period. The results of assessment revealed that incidence of purple blotch in case of Arka Kalyan variety was reduced by 50 percent compared to Bellary red variety and bulb rot was almost nil in case of Arka Kalyan variety. As a result, 26 per cent increase in yield was noticed in case of Arka Kalyan variety. The participant farmers were of the opinion that the Arka Kalyan variety is very much superior with respect to tolerance to bulb rot & purple blotch disease and has attractive bulbs and marketing edge over Bellary red variety. The results of On-Farm Testing encouraged KVK and the variety was introduced in to farmers fields through Front Line Demonstrations in different cluster villages. The variety performed very well under Front Line Demonstrations with average productivity of ton per hectare compared to 10.7 ton per hectare in local check. There has been an increase in yield ranging from 28 to 74 percent. During last 8 years, the variety has been introduced through Front Line Demonstration in 135 hectares involving 216 farmers in 23 villages. The results of Front Line Demonstrations and the subsequent extension activities of KVK created lot of demand for seeds of Arka Kalyan. KVK initiated seed production activity in its farm. Every year KVK produce 8-10 quintals of seeds in its Instructional Farm. To meet the increasing demand for seeds, KVK identified 25 onion seed production farmers and trained them on seed production techniques and supplied them Foundation Seeds for seed multiplication. Every year these seed production farmers produce quintals of Arka Kalyan variety seeds under the guidance of KVK Scientists. Apart from these, 25 onion seed production farmers, there are also many farmers who directly take bulbs from KVK and take up onion seed production activities. The activity onion seed production has become the major source of income for the farmers.

79 77 11.C. Details of impact analysis of KVK activities carried out during the reporting period 1) LIVELIHOOD SECURITY THROUGH MANGO BASED FARMING SYSTEM IN DROUGHT PRONE GADAG DISTRICT INTRODUCTION: Farming continue to be the life line of Indian economy as large chunk of population engage directly or indirectly for their livelihood. Seventy per cent of cultivable land falls in rainfed ecosystem. The last 2-3 decades has witnessed severe climatic aberrations resulting in droughts, unseasonal rains, uneven distribution of rainfall and floods, thus making agriculture a risky profession. Despite rapid inroads made in agricultural research and development, rainfed farming has become a challenging profession for farmers. Successful farming depends on efficient utilization of precious and vital natural resources through adoption of viable technologies. Beside cropping systems and production technologies, alternate strategies like promotion of agri-horti system along with skillfull integration of various measures are required for drought proofing in order to bring income security to the farmers in rainfed eco-system. GADAG DISTRICT SCENARIO: Gadag district in Karnataka State is predominantly an agrarian district. The district falls in Northern Dry Zone-III and receives rainfall from South-West monsoons from June-September and Noth East monsoon from October-November. Average rainfall of the district is 612 mm which is erratic and ill distributed. As per the records of drought monitoring cell of Government of Karnataka, recurring agricultural droughts are common with a probability of per cent of years. Long dry spells in Kharif season and receding soil moisture in Rabi season are the characteristic features of the drought resulting in adverse effect on sustainability of crop productivity. SITUATION ANALYSIS IN RED SOIL BASED CROPPING SYSTEM: Nearly 30 per cent of soil type in Gadag district is red sandy loam. Farmers mainly cultivate spreading groundnut to the extent of 30,000-35,000 hectares in red soil during Kharif season. The average productivity of groundnut is 6-7 quintal per hectare. The reasons for low productivity are moisture stress, high cost of production, high incidence of pest and diseases and non-availability of labours. Thus spreading groundnut cultivation in red soil area has become non-remunerative and further farmers cannot take up Rabi crops unlike in black soil areas where farmers take two crops in a year. STRATEGIES ADOPTED BY KVK: In the backdrop of constraints faced by the farmers in red soil based cropping system, KVK developed strategies and interventions. Major focus of KVK was on promotion of mango cultivation in rainfed red soil lands with a long term objective to bring income security to the farmers in red soil based cropping system. The strategies followed by KVK is presented in Figure-1

80 Convergence with schemes of Horticulture and Watershed Development Departments, MG- NREGP, Zilla Panchayat and NGOs Production and Supply of quality mango grafts Figure-1 Strategies for Promotion of Rainfed Mango Cultivation Sensitization programmes in the villages on crop diversification Front Line Demonstrations on rainfed mango cultivation on farmers fields 78 Farm advisory services INTERVENTIONS OF KVK Training Programmes on dry land horticulture 1. ORGANISATION OF SENSITIZATION PROGRAMMES IN THE VILLAGES: From onwards, KVK started sensitisation programmes in the villages on importance of crop diversification with emphasis on rainfed mango cultivation. During the period from to , KVK organised 36 sensitisation programmes with participation of 791 farmers. These programmes created lot of impact in terms of farmers interest to take up crop diversification activities. Apart from sensitisation programmes, seminars and workshops were also organised on crop diversification. 2. TRAINING PROGRAMMES ON DRY LAND HORTICULTURE: The sensitisation programmes organised in the villages has motivated the farmers to plan for mango cultivation. KVK organised training programmes for farmers on dry land horticulture with focus on mango cultivation. The concept was new to the farmers. An integrated training module was developed by KVK. Soil and water conservation, rainwater harvesting through digging of trenches, orchard layout, pit digging and filling, selection and planting of grafts, staking, management of pest and diseases, and intercropping systems in mango orchard were the components of training module. During the training programmes, exposure visits were organised to successful rainfed mango orchards established by few farmers under the guidance of KVK. Yearwise training programmes organised by KVK during the period from to is presented in figure-2 Figure-2: Training Programmes Organised on Dry Land Horticulture No of Programmes No of Participants During the 10 year period from to , KVK organised 98 training courses on dry land horticulture for 2733 farmers.

81 3. FRONT LINE DEMONSTRATIONS: During initial period, KVK motivated few progressive farmers near vicinity of KVK for establishment of mango orchard. KVK provided all the advisory services viz,. layout of orchard, selection of grafts, planting method, staking, post planting care, pest and disease management, post harvest management and facilitation for availing benefits from schemes of State Department of Horticulture. These mango orchards served as models for other farmers. From onwards under Front Line Demonstrations programme, KVK organised FLDs in 24 hectares involving 54 farmers spread across the district. These FLDs have created lot of positive impact on farmers to take up mango cultivation. The FLDs organised by KVK is depicted in Figure Figure-3: Front Line Demonstrations Organised on Farmers Field 10 Area (Ha) No. of Farmers PRODUCTION AND SUPPLY OF MANGO GRAFTS: Production and supply of quality mango grafts is one of the important intervention of KVK. Mainly Alphonso variety of mango grafts were produced and supplied to the farmers. During the period from to , KVK supplied 38,968 grafts to 419 farmers. Apart from this, KVK facilitated many farmers to get mango grafts from Regional Fruit Research Station, Vengurla of Konkan Krishi Vidya Peeth, Maharastra State. The yearwise supply of mango grafts provided to farmers by KVK is given in figure Figure-4: Supply of Mango Grafts to Farmers No.of Grafts No.of Farmers FARM ADVIOSRY SERVICES: Post training interventions in the form of farm advisory services were rendered to farmers who have started establishment of mango orchard. The various farm advisory services viz., orchard layout, planting technique, rain water harvesting and conservation, plant protection were given by KVK. Further, KVK rendered advisories on various schemes of State Department of Horticulture for promotion of mango cultivation. The figure-5 provides the details of advisory services rendered by KVK.

KVK established linkages with State Horticulture and Watershed Departments, National Horticultural Mission and Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Programme (MGNREGP). KVK also developed linkages with Non-Government organisations viz., Reliance Foundation and Desphande Foundation for promotion of mango through providing technical support and farm advisories. OUTCOME AND IMPACT OF INTERVENTIONS 1. ADOPTION OF RAINFED MANGO CULTIVATION AND AREA EXPANSION: Comprehensive interventions of KVK through awareness programmes, training activities, Front Line Demonstrations, advisory services, supply of mango grafts and convergence with line departments has resulted into a positive outcome in terms of adoption of rainfed mango cultivation by the farmers of the district. There has been a significant increase in area under mango. The details of area spread in the district is presented in Figure Figure-6: Yearwise Expansion of Area Under Mango in Gadag District Area (ha) No.of farmers The information depicted in figure-6 reveals that during the period from to the area under mango is spread to the extent of 1734 hectares involving 404 farmers. When this data is compared with bench

83 mark data of the year , there has been 172 percent increase in area over a decade. It is described in Table-1 81 Table-1: Percentage increase in area over a decade Year Area (ha) Percentage increase over decade No. of farmers Percentage increase over decade Benchmark year Intervention year ( to ) Total TALUKWISE SPREAD OF AREA UNDER MANGO: KVK s efforts paved the way for expansion of mango area in 112 villages of Gadag district. Nearly 400 farmers belonging to these villages have established mango orchard in an area of 1734 hectares during the period from to Talukwise details is given in Table-2 Table-2 Talukwise Spread of Area Under Mango During to Name of Taluk No. of farmers No.of villages Area in hectares Gadag Ron Shirahatti Mundaragi Naragund Total ECONOMICS OF MANGO CULTIVATION: Mango cultivation is economically viable for the farmers as compared with spreading groundnut which is mainly cultivated in red soil area during Kharif season. Mango establish very well in red soil and gives returns even during agricultural drought years. This is in contrast to the returns from spreading groundnut which is non-remunerative for the farmers. Mango starts bearing after 5 th year of planting and economic yield starts from 8-10 years depending on management practices. During the first 8-10 years, intercrops can be taken. The comparison of economics between spreading groundnut and mango cultivation is presented in Table-3. It reveals that farmers used to get an average net income of Rs.21,000 per hectare from spreading groundnut under rainfed situation. After KVK intervention through promotion of mango cultivation, farmers are getting an average net income of Rs.38,000 per hectare. Farmers who retain the orchard for own marketing gets an average net income of Rs.80,000 per hectare. The same is depicted in Table-3. Table-3 : Economics of Mango Cultivation in Comparison with Spreading Groundnut Crop Average yield (Q/ha) Cost of cultivation (Rs/ha) Gross returns (Rs/ha) Net income (Rs/ha) Spreading Groundnut 14 25,000 45,000 20,000 Mango (8-10 years old orchard) Leased out orchard (Income Rs/ha) Own Cultivation and Marketing , ,000 1,20,000 80,000

84 3. INCOME REALISED FROM MANGO CULTIVATION: It is the common practice by the mango growers to lease out mango orchards after mango crop starts flowering during the month of November to December. This is mainly because of labour problem, watch and ward of orchard and marketing of fruits. Out of 1734 hectares of area expansion during the year to , 586 hectares of mango orchards belonging to 218 farmers are in the age group of 5-9 years. During , these 218 farmers have earned an average net income of lakhs. The details are presented in Table-4 82 Age of Mango orchards (Years) Table-4 : Income Realised from Mango Orchard Area (ha) No. of farmers Average leased out price (Rs/ha) , , , , , Total Net income (Rs in lakhs) 4. IMPROVEMENT IN THE QUALITIY OF MANGO ORCHARDS: KVK through its integrated approach and outreach programmes has been able to influence a large number of mango growers to stop using chemical fertilizers and pesticides in their orchards. As a result, area under organic cultivation of mango is increasing every year. Apart from this, growers are not using carbide for ripening process. They use locally available grass for ripening of mango fruits. This has significantly improved the quality of mango fruits and attracted the attention of consumers as well as traders. 5. FORMATION OF MANGO GROWERS ASSOCIATION: It was observed by KVK that 40 to 50 per cent of the income from mango orchard is taken away by the middle men who took mango orchards on lease basis from orchard owning farmers. KVK motivated mango growers to form an Association to take up direct marketing of fruits. During Mango Growers Association was formed in Gadag block under the guidance of KVK. The Association has 143 mango growers. During the same year, KVK organised Mango Mela in Gadag city (District Headquarter) and facilitated direct marketing of fruits from producers to consumers. KVK guided the mango growers on quality production of fruits. Month long Mango Mela was very successful and brought mango growers close to consumers. This event has motivated the mango growers to join Mango Growers Association. The Association with support from KVK provides technical products, advisories, training and marketing support to its members. 6. PROJECTED INCOME FROM MANGO ORCHARDS: Mango is a perennial crop and as the age of plant increases, the productivity of plant increases. Thus providing much needed income security to farmers. Projected mango income of mango growers for five years ( to ) is made based on the age of plants, average management practice and the average anticipated prices for the produce. The data is predicted based on the bearing of fruits from 5 th year onwards from the mango orchards established by farmers from to The estimated projection of income from mango orchards is presented in Table-5

Rs crores. CONCLUSION: There has been significant change in the income of farmers owing to adoption of rainfed mango cultivation. This is evident from the income realised by the farmers from mango cultivation in comparison with spreading groundnut. Mango growers are also aware of production of quality fruits and profitability from direct marketing. Mango Growers Association is in the process of developing a mechanism for export of mango fruits for realising higher profitability. In the years to come, mango growers would be contributing much to the district economy. 2) ESTABLISHMENT OF FODDER BANKS: AN IMPACT ANALYSIS INTODUCTION:- Livestock plays a vital role in the livelihoods of farmers. It is the supporting income source to the agriculture profession. Nowadays it has become major source of regular income. The livestock sector especially dairy holds the greatest profits for sustainable development of rural economy. But core constraint that is confronting the dairy sector is low output of milk per animal. Over dependence on crop residue for feed and lack of quality green fodder are the major reasons for low output of milk production. Among the livestock enterprise, dairy is the major livelihood support system next to agriculture in Gadag district. Total cattle population in the district is Though, buffalo forms the major share of total cattle population, rearing of improved breed of cross bred cows is picking up in the district. The dairy farmers in Gadag district are largely unaware about fodder and grass cultivation. KVK felt it important to make dairy farmers aware about fodder and grass crops so as to enhance the milk productivity. In this direction, KVK made interventions through organisation of Front Line Demonstrations on improved varieties of fodder and grass crops with an objective of enhancing the milk productivity and to develop fodder banks in different locations of Gadag district for serving as a source of planting material for other farmers. The demonstrations have been laid out in the cultivated land, on the field bunds, along the water ways and in between the tree rows depending on the requirement of individual farmer s livestock composition.

86 84 KVK S INTERVENTIONS FOR PROMOTION OF FODDER AND GRASS CROPS: 1. FRONT LINE DEMONSTRATIONS: KVK organised Front Line Demonstrations on improved varieties of grass and fodder crops on farmers fields. Since to , KVK conducted Front Line Demonstrations in 11 villages of Gadag district involving 42 farmers. Grass species of Hybrid Napier, Guinea and Rhodes grass were demonstrated and these FLDs were developed as fodder banks. The details are presented in Table:1 TABLE: 1 FRONT LINE DEMOSNTRATIONS ORGANISED BY KVK Year Name of the fodder and grass crops Hybrid Napier (DHN-6), Guinea grass and Rhodes grass Hybrid Napier (DHN-6), Guinea grass and Rhodes grass Hybrid Napier (DHN-6) Guinea grass and Rhodes grass Hybrid Napier (DHN-6) Guinea grass and Rhodes grass TOTAL 42 No. of Name of villages Taluk farmers 18 Hadagali Shirahatti Huilgol Jakkali Gadag Ron Petalur Mundaragi 10 Jakkali Ron Shirunja Gadag Kadakol Shirahatti 10 Kakkur Mundaragi Shagoti Nabhapur Gadag, Gadag, Arishinagodi Naragund 4 Nabhapur Gadag Kuradagi Beladadi Ron Gadag 2. TRAINING PROGRAMME ON DAIRY AND FODDER PRODUCTION: KVK organised 39 training courses on dairy management and fodder production for dairy animals. Major focus was on enhancing the milk production through feeding of green fodder through cultivation of important varieties of grass. A total of 819 farmers participated in the training programmes during 5 years period. The details are presented in Table -2 TABLE: 2 TRAINING PROGRAMMES CONDUCTED ON DAIRY MANAGEMENT AND FODDER PRODUCITON Year No. of farmers No. of participants TOTAL SALE OF GRASS SLIPS FROM KVK: During , KVK introduced improved varieties of grasses viz., Hybrid Napier (DHN-6), Guinea grass, Rhodes grass and Signal grass in it s instructional farm and developed it as a source of planting material.

During the 5 years period from to , KVK promoted grass and fodder technology ii. iii. through Front Line Demonstrations to 42 farmers. Out of these farmers, only 22 farmers have maintained the fodder bank. Rest of the farmers discontinued due to shortage of water. These 22 farmers were selected for studying the impact analysis. About 48 farmers have taken project reports along with advisory and grass slips from KVK. Out of these farmers, 28 farmers have maintained the dairy enterprise and these 28 farmers were also included for impact analysis. A total of 50 farmers/ youths forms the sample for impact analysis iv. A simple structured schedule was developed and the information was collected during ex-trainee meeting of these dairy farmers. Apart from this, focussed group discussion was held with the farmers. RESULTS OF IMPACT ANALYSIS: i. GEOGRAPHICAL PROFILE OF DAIRY FARMERS: Majority of the dairy farmers (42 percent) belongs to Gadag block followed by Shirahatti block (18 percent), Ron and Mundaragi block (Each 16 percent).
