| ACHIEVEMENTS: |
| |
| I.
Research Achievements: |
|
| i) |
The
rainfed technology developed and adopted in the
Ghatampur watershed was found suitable, economically
viable and ecologically sustainable in managing
the problems of the ravinous watershed of Yamuna
river namely; Contour bunding, Land leveling and
smoothening, Contour furrowing, Field bunding & leveling, Sunken structures along with Vegetative barriers of Vetiver, Sacchrum munja and Rambans in controlling soil loss & runoff which resulted in an overall increase of 20 – 25 percent in the yield level of crops like; wheat, barley, gram, mustard, linseed,
pea, soybean, groundnut, pigeonpea and sorghum
in the project.
|
| ii) |
The
wells of the watershed area also showed a progressive
recharging of water table (1.5 m) during the operational
period of the project.
|
| iii) |
Neem (Azadirachta
indica) could be grown successfully with Auger hole technique of pit digging along with
50 percent replacement of original pit soil
by filling mixture (FYM + Gypsum + Soil) on
sodic soil under agro-forestry system.
|
| iv) |
The
field crops under agro-forestry systems can be
successfully grown at early years of plantation
with better crop yield.
|
| v) |
Performance
of the Multipurpose Tree Species (MPTs) on sodic
soil were found better in order of Acacia nilotica, Albizia procera, Eucalyptus terticornis, Dalbergia sissoo, Leucaena
leucocephala, Azadirachta indica, Cassia siamea
and Terminalia arjuna.
|
| vi) |
The Setaria
sphacelate has been observed to give maximum green fodder yield under silvi-pastoral system.
However, Tryspecific hybrid and Brachiria mutica was found second and third in order of productivity. The substantial improvement
in microclimate and physico-chemical properties
of soil i.e. decrease in pH, EC and ESP was
also noticed.
|
| vii) |
Successful
plantation of 10 ha Jatropha and 2 ha Karanja under
the Project on Integrated Development of Tree borne Oilseeds funded by NOVOD Board, Gurgaon.
|
| viii) |
Eviii)

trials on Jatropha at Regional Research Station
Daleepnagar and SIF, Kanpur under the Project on National Network on Integrated Development of Jatropha and Karanja.
|
| ix) |
Selection
of 46 CPTs of Jatropha & 42 CPTs Karanja in the area jurisdiction of the CSA University, Kanpur, Uttar
Pradesh.

plantation on farmers fields in the districts Unnao,
Raibarely, Lucknow, Kanpur Nagar, Kanpur Dehat,
