Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Jabalpur is a pioneer educational institution in Madhya

Pradesh imparting agricultural education, research and extension since October 1964. During the

last 46 years, University has created a strong base for scientific capabilities and excellence in the

State. Specially in current years, the JNKVV has made remarkable progress in achieving

excellence in education by imparting quality teaching and inculcating values and ethics among

graduates. Number of students getting fellowships and jobs has increased considerably which

speaks about the quality of education and career counseling.

Besides teaching, the research activities of the University has also been scale-up by mobilizing

resources from different funding agencies viz., ICAR, ICRISAT, DBT, NFSM, NHM, NMPB, BARC,

NOVOD, RKVY, MPCST etc. to strengthen research potential of the University. This has boost up

infrastructural facilities and research base in continuing basic, applied, strategic and anticipatory

need based research for the benefit of farming community.

During last year, special efforts have been made to transfer the improved technologies among

farmers through KVKs by developing different models and modules. Crop cafeteria, technology

park and socio-matrics approach helped in popularizing innovative production technologies in

villages and changed the overall scenario of farming and food production in the State. I hope with

the continued support of ICAR and State Government and untiring efforts of JNKVV staff and

students, the JNKVV will emerge as the leading StateAgricultural University in the country.

With these remarks, I compliment Directors, Deans and their team of dedicated faculty for their

efforts in bringing out thisAnnual Report, a mandatory publication which is very useful document.

It is a great pleasure that the Jawaharlal Nenru Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Jabalpur is publishing

Annual Report for the year 2008-09. The University has experienced tremendous development

and remodeling of various units under its control during the year. The progress and activities of the

University during the year in the areas of teaching & manpower development, research and

extension, are presented in the report. There has been drastic improvement in field and farm

layouts and excellent planning and execution is reflected in improved yields. Similarly, the efforts

in improving the teaching standards are reflected in large placement of students in various

organizations. Research activities in fields like the crop and soil improvement, plant protection,

promotion of medicinal plants, etc. are leading the University ahead of other organizations in the

country.

Extension activities carried out by various KVK's are of immense utility to the farmers of the region

and have helped in sustaining the crop yields. I wish that the conducted efforts in various fields will

bring the university to the top of the ranking list of all SAU's. I thank the editors for their efforts for

publishing the activities of the University.

Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya

(JNKVV), Jabalpur named after Pt. Jawaharlal

Nehru, the architect of modern India, came into

existence on October 2, 1964. JNKVV is the

only state Agriculture University in Madhya

Pradesh manning research, extension and

education in agricultural and allied sciences.

On the recommendation of the University

E d u c a t i o n C o m m i s s i o n u n d e r t h e

Chairmanship of Dr. S. Radhakrishnan in 1949

and the two Joint Indo American Teams on

Agricultural Research and Education in 1954-

55 and 1959-60, it was decided to set up an

Agricultural University in the state on the

pattern of Land Grant Colleges of the United

States of America. Accordingly, Jawaharlal

Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya (JNKVV) was

established by transferring the existing Govt.

Colleges of Agriculture (six) and Veterinary

Sciences (two) under an Act of Madhya

Pradesh legislature passed in 1963. In

accordance the Statutes were framed. J.N.

Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya was inaugurated by

Late Smt. Indira Gandhi, the then Minister of

Broadcasting, Govt. of India, in 1964, with an

integrated mandate of teaching, research and

extension, covering 12 agro-climatic regions,

now eleven agro-climatic regions since the

establishment of Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwa

Vidyalaya (IGKVV), Raipur. Though the

Vishwa Vidyalaya was formally inaugurated

on 2nd October 1964, most of its constituent

colleges and research stations are quite old.

The constituent Agricultural Research Station

at Powarkheda (1903) is older than the

Agricultural Research Institute (ARI) of Pusa,

Bihar (now IARI) which came into being in

1905. The Agriculture farm at Gwalior (1919),

the Research farm Chhindwara (1920), the

Institute of Plant Industry, Indore (1924), are

the oldest farms, now with JNKVV. The

College of Veterinary Science & A.H. at

Jabalpur and the College of Agriculture,

Gwalior established five decades ago,

1948 and 1950 respectively, are the oldest.

The location and year of establishment of the

Colleges of JNKVV are presented in Table 1.

PRESENT STATUS

The University had to part with Chhattisgarh

comprising three agro-climatic zones of the

State with the creation of a sister university

Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya at

Raipur in 1987. Consequently, four Research

Stations and the College of Agriculture, Raipur

had gone to IGKVV, but two new Colleges at

Khandwa and Mandsaur were established in

the same year to cater to the needs of Malwa

plateau and Nimar valley zones of the State,

respectively. At present, the Vishwa Vidyalaya

has seven Agricultural, two Veterinary and

A.H., one Horticulture and one Agricultural

Engineering Colleges. There are 26 research

stations and 37 KVKs.

The area covered by the University is not only

large but also diversified. Since its inception

the university has made laudable progress and

has come to the expectations of the people of

the state by greatly benefiting the farming

community.

The University has a lion's share in the

development of human resources. It has so far

produced number of graduates, post

graduates, Ph.D. and PG Diploma holders,

who are rendering services in the field of

agriculture and allied sciences not only in the

state but in other parts of the country and

overseas.

The Indo British operational research project,

which was started in 1979 and converted later

in to watershed project has been a land mark.

In the same year the operational research

project for tribal area attained creditability.The

pioneering research and extension efforts in

enhancing the productivity of soybean by the

JNKVV Scient ists coupled with the

enterprising farmers and State Department of

Agriculture is obviously a landmark by which

the state is now known as Soya state. The area

and production of soybean have tremendously

increased. The establishment of Soya-oil

extraction plants within the state paves the

way for the export of DOC (De-oiled cake).

Systematic studies on cultivation and breeding

of soybean during late 1960's triggered the

oilseed revolution. Its miraculous impact on

socio-economic status of farmers and edible

oil sector in India is a landmark. The agro-

techniques developed under Dry Land

Farming Project which was started in 1970,

have proved to be a boon to more than 70% of

the farmers. In the field of live stock

improvement, commendable work has been

done on breeding of high yielding cows,

buffaloes and pigs. An indigenous hen

Krishna-J with better economic viability has

been evolved for rural and tribal poultry

keeping.

Appreciable effort in the direction of evolvingadvanced agricultural technologies and itsdissemination to the farmers of the State isreflected in the gradual improvement ofagricultural production in the State during thepast four decades.

To ameliorate Zn deficiency, application of

10 kg Zn ha to heavy clay soils and 5 kg Zn

ha to light textured soils have been

recommended.

The residual effect of 10 kg Zn ha

persisted up to 6 crops in soybean- wheat

sequence giving the response as 51.3,

to 13.6 per cent in wheat. Response

reduced to 5 per cent in 8 crop. Available

Zn increased from 0.26 to 2.45 mg kg after

1 crop and then decreased gradually to

0.40 mg kg after 8 crop.

Zinc and iron deficiency in standing crops

can be corrected by the foliar spray of 0.5

per cent and 2 per cent of ZnSO and

FeSO , respectively at an interval of 10 to

may be reduced if applied in combination

with organic manures as the yields of

soybean and wheat were at par at 10 kg

Zn ha and 5 kg Zn+5t FYM ha and

residual effect persisted up to six crops in

sequence.

In soils, deficient in both Zn and S,

The yield of garlic decreased with

increasing levels of Cd from 19.63 g/pot at

application of 5 t FYM ha minimized the

detrimental effect of Cd on yield of garlic

which increased from 15.76 to 18.13 g/pot

with FYM. The absorption of Cd is also

reduced by the application of FYM @ 5t/ha.

Low quantity of FYM, enriched with Zn,

increased the yield of mustard in alluvial

soils of Morena and chickpea & soybean in

black soils of Jabalpur up to the extent of 8-

10 per cent.

The application of sewage sludge

increased the yield of rice & wheat to an

extent of 20-25 per cent in black soils. Zn in

post harvest soils also increased due to

application of sludge from 0.52 to 0.84 mg

kg .

The application of organic matter (OM)

increased the yield of paddy & wheat.

However, poultry manure (PM) proved

better in increasing the yield of paddy &

wheat in black soils of Jabalpur. Available

Zn in post harvest soils increased more due

to PM over other OM.

Yield and uptake by rice and wheat was

highly correlated with exchangeable Zn

fraction, indicating that this fraction of Zn

contributes more to the bio available pool.

compared to GRD as well as with targets

not receiving FYM dose (STCR). The yield

was found optimum fertilizer dose for

increasing total production (6.33 tha ) and

net profit (Rs 18,705/-) from pearl millet-

Under BARC project, ntegration of

Rhizhobium and PSB bio-inoculants with

50 per cent RD of NPK (20:50:20 Kg ha )

was found significantly superior in

registering higher grain yield (770.4 kg

treatments except 100 per cent RD of

NPK and integration of vermi-compost (2 t

The results obtained under AICRP on

Application of Long Term Fertilizer effect

under study indicated that the balance use

of fertilizer is essential for higher

production of soybean and wheat as well

as maintaining soil health. The integrated

use of organic manure and balanced

doses of fertilizer to soybean-wheat

cropping system appears to be helpful in

achieving sustainable high productivity

along with improvement in soil health.

However, continuous use of sulphur free

fertilizer (viz. DAP) needs to be

discouraged especially under intensified

cultivation of soybean wheat system in

these soils. Continuous applications of

inorganic fertilizer in balanced amount for

a period of more than three decades have

no adverse effect on soil physical and

chemical properties. Soil organic carbon

content increased from 0.57 per cent to

0.92 per cent. The conjunctive use of

chemical fertilizer and FYM maintained

relatively higher amount of soil organic

carbon as compared to chemical fertilizer

alone. The performance and production of

test crops in soybean and wheat was

satisfactory after continuous use of

inorganic fertilizers in balanced doses.

Umbalanced application of nutrients has

reduced levels of K and S in soil and

showed adverse effect on soybean and

wheat resulting in low yield. Inclusion of

organic manure (FYM) added to the

additional benefits on crop yields

plant ). On the other hand, application of

urea @1.50 g plant was found to be

associated with maximum oil yield (1.07

among the isolates from one district to another.

The results indicated that the development of

native population of soybean rhizobia with time

and is different at molecular level from the

strains initially used as inoculant. This may be

due to transference of symbiotic genes from the

inoculant strains to indigenous bradyrhizobia

or genetic changes in bacteria could occur

due to environmental stress conditions which

frequently occurs in tropical regions.

During the last 5 years 255 bacterial isolates

belonging to various bacterial groups

drying of leafy vegetables (spinach leaves,

Methi leaves, and Coriander leaves) Amla

pieces, Potato slices, Ginger, Water chest

nuts, chilies Ber and Turmeric. The loading

capacity varied in the range of 0.5 to 0.75 kg

in case of leafy vegetables and 1.5 to 2.5 kg

for remaining items. It took 2-3 sunny days

to dry the material. The drying was faster

and quality of the dry product was superior

to the product obtained by open sun drying

as per user's feed back.

characteristics for JME biodiesel

comparing with diesel.

Direct sowing of rice in line sowing follwed by

strip till drilling of wheat produced maximum

wheat equivalent yield (7.05 t ha- year- ), net

monetary return (Rs. 52,283 ha- year- ).

Sowing of rice by transplanting with

transplanter followed by strip till drilled wheat

in a system was comparable to it. These two

sowing practices proved most identical in

terms of labour requirement and economics.

nematodes in all categories of domestic

animals in Agroclimatic Zones IV, IX and X

etc. Its rate of prevalence was highest in

sheep (90%), followed by goat (83%),

Cattle (74%) and buffalo (68%). Like

strongyles, the prevalence of coccidian was

also recorded throughout the year in all

categories of animals. It was higher in

sheep (96%) followed by goat (88%), Cattle

(83%), and buffalo (74%). Among GI

nematodes, parasitic infection in domestic

animals viz. strongyles, Strongyloides spp.,

m & Trichuris spp.; among

flukes, Amphistome, Schistosome spp. and

; among cestodes,

Moniezia spp. and among protozoa,

Eimeria spp. was prevalent. The EPG/OPG

of strongyles and coccidian in cattle,

buffalo, goat and sheep was identically

exhibited to be highest in the rainy season

from July to October and when the humidity

is at high level. Infective larval stage (L3)

Haemonchus was the most predominant in

all the domestic animals under study. It was

most prevalent in sheep (63%) followed by

goat (61%), cattle (51%) and buffalo (43%).

The rate of prevalence for Oesopha-

gostomum was high in Buffalo (20%)

followed by Cattle (15%), Goat and Sheep

(12%). Bunostomum was the highest in

Buffalo (16%) followed by Cattle (12%),

Sheep (9%) and Goat (6%) etc.

Nematodirus was reported in similar trend

i.e. 7_8 % in all screened animals whilst

Cooperia was reported with minor

differences. In Agro-climatic zone X, Malva

plataeau, for the first time Mescistocirrus

was reported in lower prevalence rate i.e.

almost 4-5% in all category of domestic

animals.

Under the AICRP on Poultry Breeding, G2

and G3 generation of colour dwarf dams

and G9 generation of white purebred dwarf

were evaluated with respect to growth and

production performance up to 52 weeks of

age.Asample size population of Kadaknath

Toxocara vituloru

Fasciola gigantica

l

and Jabalpur coloured line (Normal

colored bodied population) was also

generated to desired number as base

population G0 and were also evaluated for

their performance up to 52 weeks of age.A

sample size population of crossbred

Kadaknath was produced, the male of

which will be utilized for crossing the

inters-mated coloured dwarf dam and

Jabalpur colored bird for development of

suitable germplasm as dual purpose

colored birds for rural poultry. During the

year fertile eggs of coloured normal broiler

sires were also procured from CARI.

These sires were crossed with Jabalpur

colour bird ands colour dwarf dams and

two varieties of multi coloured mediocre

broilers were produced for intensive rural

poultry. Coloured commercial chicks were

distributed to farmers directly and through

different K.V.Ks for rearing these chicks

under free range/semi intensive rearing

system. Two germplasm M2 and M1

received from PDP Hyderabad were also

reared and evaluated during current year.

On overall basis all the different pure bred

population had shown the improvement

with respect to growth and production

performance consistently over generation

to generation. Commercial chicks also

performed and adapted well to harsh

conditions of remote villages. Two

varieties of multicolored commercial

broilers were developed for intensive rural

poultry production. These birds attained

1100 gm b.wt. at 6 weeks age with 2.35

feed efficiency.

l Under the AICRP on Improvement of Feed

Resources and Nutrient utilization in

raising Animal Production, experiments

were conducted to study the effect of

strategic supplementation on productive

performance of buffaloes. Dairy farms

near Jabalpur were surveyed for their

feeding practices and it was observed that

buffaloes were fed in excess to their

49

nutrient requirement (maintenance &

production) when compared with ICAR

standards. These buffaloes were also not

supplemented with the mineral mixture.

Thus, strategies were devised to reduce the

excess and supply the deficit nutrient in the

diet of the animals. Mineral mixture was

formulated as per the requirement of the

animal and supplemented to the animals.

These strategies improved the production

of the animals as well as reduced the feed

cost per kg milk production. Experiments

thus concluded that in commercial dairy

farms, dairy owners were following a

traditional method of feeding. They were

very liberal in feeding the concentrate

mixture with the expectation that more

feeding will lead to more milk production.

This type of feeding increased the cost of

feed per kg milk produced and thus was

uneconomica l . S t ra teg i c d ie ta ry

supplementation (supply of nutrients as per

requirement of animals) was helpful in

maintaining the productive efficiency of the

buffaloes and was economical.

Identification and validation of indigenous

medicinal plants for anthelmintic efficacy in

livestock in tribal areas of Madhya Pradesh

was done. The study revealed that

effective against and

was maximally effective against

spp. of parasites. The study further

indicated that (Palash) and

(Neem), when used in Half Dose

Combination, exhibited most potent

anthelmintic activity against all spp. of

internal parasites. The combination of

Indigenous medicinal plants were

documented on the basis of their

availability and traditional practices used

by villagers/tribals in target areas of

Hoshangabad. The study revealed local

plants; viz. (Leaves) and

(Flowers) are used for treating

kidney stones. Leaves of are

effective in arthritis and sciatica. Leaves

Under the AlI India Coordinated Project on

pigs, during the period under report, 20

females and 6 males each of Large White

Yorkshire and Desi pigs were selected to

produce 50% and 75% crossbred (inter

se) pigs of 116 and 17 generation. All the

selected females conceived. The average

In India, goat meat is relished by majority of the

population, irrespective of religious taboo. Goat

meat contributes only 27.6% of the total meat

available for mass consumption, which is very

low in comparison to its demand. In order to

fulfill the large gap of its demand and

availability, there is a need to develop an

efficient system through modern gene

manipulation technology so that the chevon

production can be increased at a faster rate.

Myostatin (MSTN), also known as growth and

differentiation factor-8 (GDF-8), is a potent

regulator of skeletal muscle and a member of

the transforming growth factor-â (TGF- â)

superfamily. MSTN is a major gene expressed

predominantly in skeletal muscle and acts as a

negative regulator by suppressing the

proliferation and differentiation of myoblast

cells. Thus, knocking down of myostatin gene

by artificial means like RNAi approach by

developing a shRNA constructs against it, can

help in producing a goat having increased lean

meat p roduc t ion . Coup l ing recen t

advancements in reproductive technologies

such as multiple ovulation and embryo

transfer, with the ability to insert DNA into

livestock by SCNT, SMGT or pronuclear

injection have provided limitless possibilities

for livestock improvement by genetic

manipulation.

Thus, with the objectives to identify the

structural and regulatory basis of variation in

myostatin gene between meat and non meat

type breeds in rabbit, goat and poultry; to

develop different shRNA constructs against

conserved region of myostatin gene for

demonstrating the knockdown effect in in vitro

cell culture system and, to design strategy for

developing a goat with knocked-down

myostatin gene, a National Agricultural

Innovation Project on “Development of Goat

having Knocked-Down Myostatin Gene

through RNA Interference Technology to

Enhance the Meat Production” has been

implemented under the Component 4 (Basic &

Strategic Research) with Jawaharlal Nehru

Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya as the Consortium

Lead Institute. The duration of the project is 4

years (w.e.f. 17.07.2008 to 31.03.2012) with a

total outlay of Rs. 421.17 Lakhs The

The expected output and impact is the

production of goat with increased muscle

mass using RNAi technology resulting in

enhancement of chevon production; the

technology developed can be adapted for

increasing the muscle mass using RNAi

technology in other species also and, the new

RNA based novel technology will also offer a

number of other opportunities for future

livestock improvement.

The new technology for improving the rice

productivity in the State was identified and

adopted by all the KVKs. SRI is the technology

with lesser input (seed, water) with higher

return. KVK Shahdol, Katni, Seoni, Rewa,

Jabalpur, Umaria, Balaghat, Dindori and

Mandla started this programme on large scale.

The numbers of intervent ions were

66

funded Programme was implemented through

4 KVKs viz. Jabalpur, Satna, Rewa and Damoh.

This programme is implemented with

collaboration with ICRISAT, Hyderabad.

Quality seeds of improved varieties of rice and

chickpea along with its production technologies

were made available to the farmers. These

farmers were invited in the farmers-scientist

interface and other extension activities for

promoting the horizontal spread of technology

through farmers to famers dissemination of

technology.

This innovative programme was implemented

through all 20 KVKs in both seasons. Quality

seeds were made available to farmers and

9302 quintals seeds were produced during

2008-09. This helped in improving the seed

replacement rate in the state.

Each KVK has implemented the seed

production programme both in Kharif and Rabi

season and produce the quality seeds on the

instructional farm. During 2008-09, 5,960

quintals quality seeds were produced by the

KVK which were made available to the farmers

and government farms for further multiplication.

Infrastructural facilities were developed in six

KVK viz. Betul, Jabalpur, Damoh, Sagar, Katni

and Chhindwara to produce quality planting

material of horticultural crops. These KVKs

have developed the scion block of different

horticultural crops and started producing the

quality planting materials.

SEED PRODUCTION

The significance of sustainable agriculture is

hidden in the use of quality seed. It is the most

crucial and vital input for enhancing

productivity. The importance of seed has been

recognized since time, human practices crop

husbandry. Procuring quality seed for sowing

has been a major concern for farmer ever

since crop husbandry was initiated. The crop

varieties are being grown under diverse

environmental conditions. In an organized

seed production programme, it is essential to

maintain genetic purity of seed stock in large-

scale multiplications and to ensure conformity

to the original stock. The maintenance of

population in an organized and systematic

way has been a big task, as it has to retain the

relationship of nucleus seed with that originally

developed by a plant breeder and the certified

seed, marketed. Genotype x environment

interaction also affects the expression of the

variety. Natural selection and management

practices may affect the genetic purity of the

variety grown in the environment for which it

has not been developed and recommended.

Changing growing environment also has

major effect on population behaviour and have

important consequences on quality including

varietal maintenance. Realizing the

significance and impact of quality seeds, the

JNKVV, launched a scheme for production of

Breeder seed alongwith maintenance of

varieties in early 1980s at Jabalpur even

before launch of the National Seed Project by

ICAR. Seed is one of the basic and vital input of

any plant production activity. The importance of

seed as the carrier of critical characteristics of

crop production has been recognised from the

early days of agriculture. Hence, it is always

necessary to launch a special drive to orient

and strengthen the on going seed

developmental programmes to enhance the

availability of quality seed of improved

varieties.

To produce adequate quantity of quality seed

for enhancing productivity and profitability of

crops in a sustainable eco-friendly manner for

the livelihood security.

To maintain the genetic purity of crop

varieties;

Dr. Laxman Singh, is the founder of quality seed

production in JNKVV, Jabalpur, he established

Breeder Seed Production Unit at JNKVV during

1975 in the Department of Plant Breeding &

Genetics to fulfil the seed requirement of

Madhya Pradesh. The maintenance breeding

work was also initiated for the improved

varieties of other crops. Considering the

necessity and importance of large quantities of

quality seed, JNKVV established Directorate of

Farms in the year 1987 at Jabalpur. Director

utilizes the on-farm resources to produce

quality planting material of improved varieties

developed at JNKVV as well as of the

recommended National varieties suitable for

Madhya Pradesh. Directorate shoulder the

responsibility of farm planning, production,

marketing and quality assurance of seeds/

saplings through effective coordination of

State/National Seed Developmental Agencies

and by developing organizational-operational

frame work with dedicated team of plant

breeders, seed technologists, seed production

experts, seed agronomists, administrative

officer (farms) and other associated staff. The

programmes are well organised to meet the

expectations of seed industry in the country

through a well knit action oriented network and

infrastructure.

Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya

features of the seed production programme

are: Maintenance breeding based production;

Effective internal monitoring system and l In

house strong quality assurance mechanisms.

Diversification of nucleus/breeder seed

production programme with a view to meet the

growing demand of quality seed of

vegetables, spices, sugarcane, medicinal &

aromatic plants have added new dimensions.

The seed production programme is reviewed

every year at University level during &

seasons. The University has also initiated

need-based training programmes for seed

professionals from State Agricultural

Universities (SAU), State Department of

Agriculture, State Seed Corporations, State

Seed Certification Agencies, National and

Multi-national Seed Companies to up date

knowledge on seed technology, seed

certification standards and covering all

important and relevant aspects of seed

production, processing and storage. The

University has also shared its experience by

organizing ICAR sponsored winter school of

21 day on Recent trends in seed production

management at Jabalpur.

The execution of system envisages planning,

production, monitoring, processing, marketing

and supply of seeds to the indenters from a

season. The annual review meetings are being

organized in the month ofApril/May.

A dynamic seed sector

has been developed at JNKVV with

continuous release of improved varieties and

hybrids from crop research programmes. To

ensure the crop research programmes, strong

support is provided from the State.

The

maintenance breeding is one of the important

activities of seed production programme of the

University. The programme involves a

dedicated team of crop scientists located at

various research stations to maintain the

varieties. Crop varieties are being maintained

by Single Plant Selection (SPS) grown in

progeny rows. The SPS bulk seed is multiplied

to produce breeder seed depending up on the

indents.

JNKVV produces more than 24% part of

Breeder Seed produced by NARS for field

crops as well as substantial quantities of

saplings of Amla, Mango and Beer are being

produced and supplied. The University has

been a major player in the multiplication of

seeds and saplings of medicinal & aromatic

plants by virtue of developing several improved

varieties.

The financial and physical targets are fixed on

annual basis and reviewed in the JNKVV

planning meeting in the month of April every

year. The corrective measures are planned for

the improvement in the implemented

programmes. The mid-term corrective

measures are also being taken up in the farm

the public sector breeds with the private sector.

There seems to be a tremendous potential to

develop the seed links programmes of public/

private sector. This helps in developing/

strengthening research resources and

adequate resource income to University. An

MOU has been developed for the purpose.

This MOU is as per the guidelines of IPR

Management for Agriculture Research

Technologies of NARS and approved by Board

of Management of University. Seed companies

i.e., Vikki Agro Tech, Vibha Seeds J.K. Agric

Genetics, Dhanuka Seeds, Agri. Co. Seed etc.

and with a dozen of seed companies showed

interest for commercialization of early

maturing Rice hybrids on non exclusive basis.

Similarly in medicinal and aromatic plants

partnerships are being developed through

three-party agreement i.e., JNKVV, farmers

and Industry on mutually agreeable terms and

conditions. An IPR Management cell of the

University has taken care of transferable

technologies for commercialization of rice

hybrid JRH 5

An in house seed quality assurance system

has been developed to regulate the quality of

seed and planting material produced at the

University. This is bei ng done through field

monitoring systems. Later on the seed

samples are being drawn from the processed

seed of each variety and are being tested at

Govt. Seed Testing Lab as well as JNKVV

Seed Testing Laboratory of STR. The seed

samples are supplied to STR lab for

verification of genetic purity of the seed

supplied to various agencies through Grow

Out test as Post Control Plot. Observation

related to genetic impurity in Post Control Plot

are being communicated to seed production

centre of the University as well as the persons

lifted the same seed lots so that corrective

measures may be taken up timely to maintain

the seed quality.

Benefits and beneficiaries

Seed is being made available to the indenters

as per demand/indents. Quantity of seed

available of all the crops, varieties and

categories for sale is placed in the University

Web site alongwith name of center where seed

is available, price list, contact phone numbers

etc. This information is made available to all the

concerned. The seed purchaser may demand

through FAX or e mail which is confirmed

immediately along with the name of centre and

total amount to be paid at the lifting centre and

cut of date for lifting etc.

The information about cut off date, quantity of

seed available is being also made available at

Agricultural Technological Information Center,

JNKVV, Jabalpur (ATIC) as well as Directorate

Farms. The upto date seed availability is being

upgraded in the JNKVV web site from time to

time to benefit the seed producing agencies.

Several seed systems i.e., seed village

programme, model seed sytems at Vidisha and

Sagar, Rice fallow chickpea quality seed

production in livelihood seed system paid

demanded to the farmers and brought self

reliance in quality seed availability

The seed cost has come down as it has been

produced where it was needed most by

eliminating transport costs and role of

middlemen. The integrity and quality of the

seed would be assured, as it is produced under

the supervision of competent person. Adoption

of improved varieties led to increase

productivity by 20-30%.

Promotion of local seed enterprises has also

generated employment at the village level. The

major beneficiaries are small holder farming

families who may gain access quality seed of

improved varieties.

ISOPOM Project

Development and popularization of Model'

Seed System(s) for quality seed production

of major legumes to ensure seed-

sufficiency at the village level

Increase in agricultural production is the

key to all-over economic growth.

Incidence of dry root rot and Pod borer was

reported at some farmer's field.

Assess opportunities and constraints to

developing efficient seed production and

supply systems, including policies, and

Quality seed

is essential for good crop in any agricultural

production system. However, resource poor

farmers face serious constraints when

sourcing healthy, high quality seed. The health

of seed is important, not only with regard to the

direct yield losses caused by seed-borne

diseases, but also for perpetuation of

epidemics, spread of diseases, food and feed

safety (absence of toxins) and storability.

Further benefits of using good seed include,

lower pesticide requirements, no need for

poisonous seed dressings, usability for organic

cropping, no rejection of expensive

multiplication seed, improved seed export

potentials, better quality of food and feed,

better quality for industrial purposes, reduced

seed rates, faster emergence and more

vigorous growth and reduction of farmers risks.

Production and trade of healthy seed thus

constitutes a large and readily accessible, yet

largely unexploited, potential for pro poor

development. Demand of quality seed at

village level can not be fulfilled without the

participation of farmers. Only formal seed

sector can not fulfill the requirement.

Introduction of high yielding varieties suitable

for the area and organization of training for

seed production technology will certainly play

significant role in achieving the goal.

Fortunately environment was favorable for

quality seed production at farmer's field in both

the districts compares to last year, but

strategic seed reserve at the village/

community level.

Vidisha and Sagar districts are leading in

chickpea production in Madhya Pradesh. But

the average productivity of these districts is

very low as compared to the national

productivity. The major cause of the low

productivity is –

Less availability of quality seed against the

total demand.

Lack of awareness regarding improved

varieties.

Plant protection practices are not followed.

Proper nutrients application is not applied.

Recommended seed rate is not followed.

Chickpea is more prone to biotic and

abiotic stress.

Lack of irrigation facilities.

Lack of improved seed storage facilities.

Cultivation on marginal land.

Adoption process for improved agro

techniques is very slow.

Chickpea is the most important pulse

accounting for more than 70% of the global

production in India. Chickpea is the cheapest

source of protein and is the inseparable part of

the daily diets of every Indian. In spite of being

the largest producer, India has to import

chickpea up to 1.5 Million tons every year to

meet its domestic requirements. It is unlikely

that area under chickpea will ever increase in

the irrigated regions of the country. However,

there is a scope for expanding chickpea

production in approximately 12 m ha rainfed

rice fallow lands (RRFL) in central and eastern

India. Out of this 12 m ha potentially; 4.69 m ha

chickpea growing RRFL areas are in the state

of Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh.

In these two states, currently farmers either

leave the RRFL without growing a second crop

or grow local varieties of chickpea which yield

low, thus discourage chickpea production.

Rainfall during Kharif season in the RRFL

region in the country is usually more than

enough to grow rice. Recent feasibility studies

conducted by ICRISAT and its partners in ICAR

The area under cultivation of crops in Jabalpur

district is 2, 72,700 ha out of which 1, 49,171

ha area is rainfed only 1, 23,529 ha area is

irrigated which cultivated during rabi and kharif

both. The soil of the Jabalpur district is

medium black to red yellow gravel soils. The

Jabalpur district covers the Patan, Sahpura

and Panager block comes under the deep to

medium black soil where as Sehora, Majholi

and Kundum block posses the sandy to loam

and gravel soil, respectively. The total average

rain fall of the Jabalpur district is 1350mm

which receives during four months of mid June

to mid October. Paddy is the major cereals

crop grown during the kharif. However, the pea

is growing intensively in the four blocks i.e.

Patan, Sahpura, Sehore and Panager block in

fallow-Pea-Wheat cropping sequence under

the assured irrigation .Moreover, in the rainfed

areas Paddy fallowed by lentil or gram or

facilities during rabi season. Rice and wheat

are two most important cereal crops grown in

the state which contribute to a major share in

food grain production. Rice cultivation is

traditionally spread in the Kymore plateau and

Satpura hills that covers nearly 50% of the total

geographical area. Rice-wheat system

predominantly exists in the irrigated areas.

Medium to long duration Rice (120-130 days)

wheat with high yielding dwarf cultivars gave

the assured returns under irrigated condition.

However, under rainfed area farmers either

leave the second crop or grow the traditional

local varieties of chickpea after rice (long

duration) in the stored soil moisture, which

yield is very low, hence, it discourage the

chickpea production. Unfortunately the

farmers of the Jabalpur (Kymore platue &

Satpura hills) are least aware with the newly

developed short duration rice varieties/hybrids

as well as the new cultivars of the chickpea and

their improved management practices under

rainfed areas.

The major constant in the production of

chickpea is the losses of soil moisture due to

delay in sowing owing to late harvest of paddy

crop and infestation of fusarium wilt and coller

rot. Though, the numbers of varieties of

chickpea have been developed by the

University which are high yielding, short

duration, pest and drought tolerant and can be

followed under improved pulse production and

protection technology.

The aforesaid interventions under the rice

fallow cropping sequence not only increase the

overall productivity of the system but also

improve the physical, Chemical and biological

properties of the soil and helps to make the

production system more economical and

sustainable. This will also helps to improve the

nutritional livelihood status of the isolated poor

farmers.

Hundred field demonstrations were carried out

at farmers field belonging to the block of

Salient findings

Panagar, Sehora and Patan district Jabalpur.

Each unit of demonstration was taken half acre

area and crop variety JG-74 was used for

demonstration. The crop was sown by suing of

30 Kg seed/ acre and sowing was completed

with in mid to end of Nov. 2008. Treated seed

with fungicide was used for sowing and before

sowing it was inoculated with Rhizobium

Culture and PSB. Simultaneously, PSB was

also applied @ 4Kg/acre along with 50 Kg of

well decomposed FYM) as soil application just

before the sowing. Seventy two farmers were

applied irrigation as come up irrigation. The

remaining 28 farmers were not used any

irrigations for the crop. The crop received

winter rains ranging from37.8 to 42.0 mm of

water in different location during the month of

January 2009.

The crop was fertilized by farmer as per their

own sources. The in tegrated pest

management approach was followed by using

pheromantrap and bird perches, among with

the trizophose and Indoxacrob (Awant) as a

single spray. However, most of the farmers left

the crop without use of insecticide. The yield

data of chickpea are being recorded, other

observation with respect to infestation of

disease and insect pest are presented in the

proforma.

The crop variety showed the resistant with

respect to disease score (ranging from 1-10%)

at all most all the places. Moreover, the scored

plants were found to be infested with

sclerotium (coller rot disease) during the early

stage of crop. The rare plants were found to

damage with wilt. Similarly, the

incidence of pod borer was also observed in

the crop. However, the percent incidence was

very less as compared to the crop sown by the

farmers in the adjoining area.

The demonstrated plots showed the variation

at different locations with respect to incidence

of ranging from 7 to 16 per cent

observed at podding stage.

demonstration revealed that the variety JG-16

showed the superior over both of JG-130 and

JG-315 and gave 32.6% higher yield over

check. However, JG-130 gave 21.4 percent

higher yield over JG 315. Hence, variety JG-16

proved to be the best among the tested

varieties under rainfed rice-fallow cropping

situations.

Moreover, the farmers showed their interest in

JG-130 before the harvest/threshing of crop

based on its pod size. However, the opinion of

farmers changed after getting the yield as

variety JG-16 yielded 32.6% over JG 315

Most of the farmers stated that the early

be utilized for the germination of crop.

Needs to suggest some measures to check or

The chickpea is grown under rainfed situation

and followed the minimum tillage practices

which provide opportunity to grow and florists

the weeds. These weeds causes the reduction

in yield. The unavailability of safer and effective

post emergence herbicides for controlling the

weed population in chickpea.

The farmers are using high seed rate as

Salient findings

Based on the infestation of insect pest and

disease it could be concluded that the variety

JG-74 proved to be resistant to wilt and

tolerant to the podborer up to some extent.

However farmer showed their interest in JG-

74 as its pod being is better than local one.

The seeds of improved variety provided to the

100 farmers hence a total of 1500 kg seed was

sown on an area of 20 ha. The same area has

produced 346.75 q which is 23 times more and

it is sufficient to cover the area of 462.3 ha.

In Madhya Pradesh Satna district is situated at

and 157.0 thousand hectare area during their

respective seasons.

Hundred unit demonstrations were carried out

at farmers' fields belonging to the block of

Damoh district Damoh. Each unit of

demonstration was taken half acre area and

crop variety Jaki-9218 was used for

demonstration. The crop was sown by using of

30 Kg seed/ acre and sowing was completed

with in mid to end of Nov. 2008. Treated seed

with fungicide was used for sowing and before

sowing it was inoculated with Rhizobium

Culture and PSB. The crop received winter

rains ranging from37.8 to 46.0 mm of water in

different location during the month of January

2009. The integrated pest management

approach was followed by using pheromantrap

and birdperchers, along with the Endosulphan

and trizophose one spray each. The yield data

of chickpea is being recorded, other

observation with respect to infestation of

disease and insect pest are presented in the

proforma.

The crop variety showed the resistant once

with respect to disease score (ranging from 1-

10%) at all most all the places. Moreover, the

scored plants were found to be infested with

during the maturity stage of crop.

The rear plants were found to damaged with

wilt. Similarly, the incidence of pod

borer was also observed in the crop. However,

the percent incidence was very less as

compared to the crop sown by the farmers in

the adjoining areas. The demonstrated plots

showed the variation at different locations with

respect to incidence of ranging from 7

to 16 percent observed at podding stage.

100 unit demonstrations were conducted in

block of Damoh (Dist. Damoh) in The viz.

yield of chickpea ranging 5 to 20 quintal per

Its trial conducted in 2 units Halgaj, and Mudari

village. Six varieties were provided to the

farmers for preference on location and result

on survey based on performance of yield has

shown that farmers were more convinced with

the performance of variety JG 16 fallowed by

JG 74. The variety JG 16 fallowed by JG 11

well over the others as regards to the yield 18

q/ha & 17 q/ha respectively. Performance of

JAKI 9218 is not good in yield as compare to

other varieties. The farmer preferred varieties

are JG 16 and JG 74 which gave higher yield

and also desirable grain size.

Three varieties were provided to the farmers

at two location namely Bamori & Halgaj for

assessing the performance under rice fallow

and rice-chickpea cropping sequence over

existing variety JG 315 & JG 74 result of

revealed that the variety JG 16 showed the

superior over both of JG 74 & JG 130 and gave

higher yield over check. However, JG 74 gave

20% higher yield over JG 315. Variety JG 16

provide to be the best among the tested

varieties under rainfed Rice fallow cropping

situation.

As farmers point of view the early maturing

varieties of cereals and pulses should be

provided & need to be farmer's friendly

The truly & timely availability of quality seed

must be ensured so that the soil moisture

may be utilized for the germination of crop.

To check or destroy the weed population in

standing crop.

Training of Kharif & Rabi improved varieties

of paddy & chickpea by means of literature.

As the farmer are using either local variety of

the crops in their field due to various socio-

economic factors, so seed replacement rate

has to be increased at the grass root level.

Majority of farmer total cropping is based on

fortunes of rainfalls so practices on proper

utilization of water too have to be taken into

consideration for successful implementation of

the project.

The six varieties namely JG-11,JG-16,JG-130,

JG-315, JG-74 and JAKI-9218 were provided

to the former of Damoh district for preferability

on location and result on survey based on

performance of yield has shown that farmer

were more convinced with the performance of

variety JG-16 followed by JG-74. Damoh

district has attributed to on average of 11 fold

increase in the seed provided to the farmers

thus showing a vast scope in multiplication and

further distribution of high quality seed among

the farmers. This will ensure in increase in

seed replacement rates in rural tract and thus

the production of chickpea in rainfed rice fallow

land will be increased

As the crop harvesting is completed, the

farmers are not satisfied with their yield from

the chickpea JAKI 9218 production which was

shown in Rainfed rice based cropping system

of Damoh district.

Preferred variety should be distributed

and identified seed replacement rate has

to be increased at the grass root level

Integrated pest management may be

established for the chickpea production &

will be available to the resource poor

farmers

As effective seed multiplication &

distribution system of chickpea at village

level will be established with high yielding

varieties

Increase in cropping intensity ,will lead to

improved livelihoods.

Chickpea import reduced gradually as its

production improved

The seed production programmes of all crops

are being planned on the basis of national and

state indents, indents from private seed

sector, seed market intelligence reports and

also based on previous year sales and

demands. The total indent of all sectors put

together is being planned on the basis of

suitability of a particular variety to different

agro-climatic zones. The entire production

programme is being developed with the

consent of officer-in-charge of farms and

Results of Practical Utility

The seeds of improved varieties viz. JG 74, JG
