ANNEXURE-II

SIGNIFICANT ACHIEVEMENTS MADE AND THEIR IMPACT ON THE AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION IN ANDHRA PRADESH

- In sugarcane 19 promising clones have been identified for juice quality.

- As curing contributes to about 30 per cent of the cost of cultivation of FCV tobacco, concerted efforts were made to save fuel by insulating the roof, ventilators and doors of the barn with strawmit and external plastering of the roof with cement, thermocole mixture. This technology has resulted in saving of curing cost by about 25 to 30 per cent. Package of practices including control of pests and diseases have been developed for different crops.

- A triple harvesting technique was developed for dual purpose maize wherein the green fodder, semi dry fodder and cobs are harvested sequentially without affecting the seed yield.

- A strategy for in suit incorporation of N rich biomass was developed by growing horsegram using post monsoon rainfall, with a saving of 20 kg N for the subsequent crop.

- P - solublising bacterial strain Pseudomonas fluorescence was isolated and protocol was standardized for its mass production.

- Drill plough and CRIDA groundnut planter were patented.

- Prototypes of groundnut stripper and tractor mounted, air assisted orchard sprayer was developed.

- Elite clones of tamarind, jamun and custard apple were isolated from Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.

- Around 500 trainees, subject matter specialists and senior extension personnel were trained in over 50 training courses held at Central Research Institute for Dryland Agriculture, Hyderabad.

- Over 4000 farmers, farm women and rural youth were trained in rainfed agricultural technology.

- Around 650 farm implements costing over Rs. 6.40 lakhs were sold to farmers.

- A technology for fertilizer recommendations based on soil test for obtaining yield of major crops like rice, maize, groundnut, sunflower, sugarcane, chili and a ready reckoner has been prepared.

- Drought tolerant strains of Rhizobia for different pulse and oilseed crops have been isolated.

- Bullock drawn ferti-seed planter for oilseed (castor, groundnut and sunflower) and other dryland crops resulted in saving in cost of approx. Rs. 100/ha as compared to conventional method.

- A sunflower thresher with 5 hp electric motor, having an output capacity of approx. 150 kg/h has been developed and is being commercially manufactured.

- Power operated groundnut pod stripper reduced cost of stripping by half as compared to manual traditional methods and resulted in 99 per cent stripping efficiency and there was no damage to the pods.

- The adoption of sub surface system of drainage resulted in reduction of soil electric conductivity.

- There was substantial increase in the crop yields - Rice 14-30 per cent, Sugarcane 65 per cent and Betelvine 20-30 per cent due to adoption of sub surface system.

- Under the mariculture activities, the technologies for onshore pearl oyster farming and pearl production as well as the tissue culture of seaweeds have been perfected for commercialization. Consultancy on onshore pearl culture technology has been given to a number of enterprises.

- The post harvest technologies developed by Central Institute of Fisheries Technology has resulted in increase in the export of fish and fishery products.

- Crossbred pigs produced have been found to be superior in back fat thickness and in lean cuts over indigenous pigs, have higher feed conversion efficiency and were heavier at contemporary ages than that of indigenous pigs.

- Different kinds of complete feed were formulated and developed utilizing locally available crop residues. The impact of research has resulted in reduction in the cost of milk, meat and eggs and due to the balanced diet also there is increase in the production of milk and egg.

- The epidemiology of Foot and Mouth Disease has been determined.

- The Council has 16 Krishi Vigyan Kendras and one Trainer`s Training Centre in Andhra Pradesh. During the year 2000-01, the Krishi Vigyan Kendras have organized 1147 training programmes for the benefit of 26556 farmers including farm women, rural youths and extension functionaries.
