Technology Adaptability for Higher Pulses Productivity in Varied Conditions of Uttar Pradesh, India

A. K. Singh, Lakhan Singh

Abstract :

The technology demonstration for harnessing pulses productivity programme was implemented in 137 districts of 11 states in India with the participation of Krishi Vigyan Kendras for demonstrating production potentiality of newly developed technologies of pulses at farmers’ fields. Under this programme, 376 demonstrations on mungbean and urdbean were laid down in different conditions of 16 districts of Uttar Pradesh in summer season during 2010-2012-13. Technology modules included all the recommended package of practices. Technology performance in respect to productivity and profitability from mungbean and urdbean were observed as important intervention. On an average, 10.94 q/ha (mungbean) and 10.18 q/ha (urdbean) yields were realized on farmers’ fields under demonstration which were significantly higher as compared to local check, state and national average yield. More than 10 q/ha yield was obtained from PDM-139, IPM-2-3, IPM 99-125 and Narendra Mung-1 varieties of mungbean. Similarly, more than 10 q/ha yield was provided by Azad Urd-2, PU-31 and PU-35 varieties of urdbean. On an average, net return of Rs. 41526 per ha under mungbean and Rs. 37695 per ha under urdbean in summer season was harnessed by the farmers which indicated higher income between 99 - 119% as compared to local check. The technology dissemination process adopted for scientific demonstrations of pulses played a great role in enhancing productivity and net return of the farmers along with creating a platform for interface with different stakeholders.
