Major research achievements

Generated Technology

• Application of RDF 100% + vermi-compost @ 3.0 t/ha + ZnSo4 25 kg/ha+ azotobactor 20g/kg seed in mustard could bring significant increase in the grain yield (28.57) of mustard.
• Hyb. Rice-wheat- greengram (G+R) for rice based cropping system and Maize+black gram-potato-onion for maize based cropping system could be suitable crop sequence under central plain zone of Uttar Pradesh
• Late sown chickpea could yield maximum if fed @ 100% RDF with Rhizobium + PSB + PGPR (B3) in central zone of Uttar Pradesh.
• Wheat crop could yield significantly maximum with the management of weeds through post emergence tank mixed application of sulfosulfuron and met sulfuron (25+4 g/ha) at 25-30 DAS. The magnitude of increase in grain yield was 27.8% over weed check .
• Under the land configuration and weed management practices in onion, raised bed pattern with 10 tonnes/ha rice straw along with application of Oxyfluorfen @ 225 g a.i./ha + one hand weeding at 40 DAT in onion effectively controlled weed all kind of weed with minimum nutrient depletion and produced highest bulb yield (211.05 q/ha), net return (Rs 197963/ha) and BC ratio (1:3.65). This treatment combination may be recommended for higher productivity and probability of Rabi onion in control Uttar Pradesh.
• 75% RDF along with seed inoculation with Rhizobium and PSB was observed an alternative of 100% RDF for the cultivation of chickpea in Central Plain Zone of Uttar Pradesh.
• Clodinofop @ 60 g ha-1 + metsulfuron methyl @ 4 g ha-1 was observed an alternative of hand weeding twice at 20 and 45 DAS for effective weed management of irrigated linseed in Central Plain Zone of Uttar Pradesh.

Technologies included in Saghan Padhatiyan published by state Government

• Spray Imazathapyre 10 EC @750-1000ml (75-100 gram a.i.) per hectare in standing crop of zaid moong at 20-25 DAS to manage weeds (Zaid Phaslon Ki Saghan Padhatiyan, 2018).

All India Coordinated Research Project Agrometeorology

Weather characterization:

• Analysed district wise Agro climatic onset of different districts of Uttar Pradesh. Kashganj observed late onset of 6 days, Badaun 7 days, Etah, Bareilly, Mahoba 8 days, Shajhanpur, and Farrukhabad 10 days, Sitapur and Jalaun 11 days, Hapur and Fatehpur 12 days from start. The rest of the district received 15-29 days late agro climatic onset from the starting date.
• In Kanpur region, out of the 49 years, no drought was occurred in 41 years (84% ), moderate drought in 7 year (14%) and severe drought in 1 year (2% ) was noticed during 1971 to 2019.
• In Kanpur region, out of 49 years, 31 years were observed as agriculture drought year during kharif season. Agriculture drought was prolonged up to 12 meteorological weeks from 31 to 42 in 1979, while, rainfall was discontinued during 13 weeks in Kharif season of the year 1974 and 2015.
• The deviation of annual rainfall was seen in decreasing trend from the normal rainfall during the decade 2001-2010 and 2011-2019 whereas, the initial decade 1971-1980, 1981-1990 and 1991-2000 observed higher decadal rainfall over normal. The annual decadal rainfall trend was observed in descending order from higher to lower. The data also revealed that decadal winter season rainfall showed erratic pattern, whereas, rainfall during Summer season is in increasing pattern from initial decade 1971-1980 to 2011-2019.
• Decadal South-west and Post monsoon rainfall decreased continuously from initial to last decade. This showed that both South-west and post monsoon rainfall shifted towards summer and winter season rainfall.

Crop Weatther Relationship

Rice

• Timely planted (02 July) crop when temperature and rainfall during planting, PI and milking period was estimated 31.7,34.5 and 34.80C (Tmax.), 25.7, 23.3 and 21.0 0C (Tmin.) and 50.3, 138.8 and 51.2mm ( RF) at respective stages proved to be optimum and produces the highest grain (43.5 q/ha), straw yield (64.2 q/ha) and harvest index (40.3 %).Hence 02 July transplanting of rice was significantly superior as compared to other two dates of planting viz; 12 July and 22 July.
• Among the varieties NDR-359 gave 18.3 %, 12.3% and 11.5 % higher grain yield as compared to CSR-27, Sarjoo-52, and Swarna, respectively. The grain yield gradually decreased by 10 days delayed over 02 July, was recorded 11.1% and 31.0 % yield.
• It can say that first week of July is better(normal date of planting) for plantation of paddy and NDR -359 is superior amog the four tested varieties for Central part of U.P.

Maize

• The highest maize seed yield (62.6 q/ha) was obtained in 19th June early sowing as compared to 29th June (57.6 q/ha) and 09th July (49.4 q/ha) sowing. The optimum maximum and minimum temperature at different phonological stages was received in early sown crop.
• The higher heat unit i.e. 156.3, 646.0,103.9, and 233.70Cdays was recorded during emergence, knee high, 50% silking and dough stages, respectively, in timely sown crop as compared to subsequent 10 day delayed sowing.

Wheat

• The analysis of five year weather and crop data revealed that the higher maximum and minimum temperature during vegetative stage of wheat varieties (HD-2967, HD-2733, K-307 and K-9107) showed significant positive correlation (R2 = 0.31 & 0.028, respectively) while negative Correlation was found when temperature (Max.& Min.) was higher during reproductive stage (R2 = 0.53 & 0.81).
• At vegetative stage, unit increase in maximum temperature enhanced wheat yield by 0.25 t./ha while unit increase in minimum temperature decreased the wheat yield by 0.14 t./ha.
• Unit increase in maximum and minimum temperature during reproductive stage decreased wheat yield by 0.22 and 0.34 t./ha, respectively.

GKMS Project

• Under the Gramin Krishi Mausam Sewa project (GKMS) is issuing crop and location specific weather based agro advisories for the benefit of farming community on every Tuesday and Friday along with occurrence of extreme weather events. Farmers can register through the website of Agrimet Division (www.imdagrimet.gov.in) to utilize these services by visiting the following link:
  http://imdagrimet.gov.in/farmer/FarmerRegistrationFrontpage/welcome.php
• District level weather forecast for next 5-days in respect of Rainfall, maximum temperature, minimum temperature, wind speed, wind direction, relative humidity and clouds, weekly cumulative rainfall and Crop specific advisories are provided to farmers.
• We are continuously in providing crop specific advisories to the farmers through different print/visual/Radio/ IT based media including short message service (SMS) and Interactive Voice Response Service (IVRS) facilitating for appropriate field level actions.
• Weather forecast based agromet advisories are disseminated through MKisan portal launched by Ministry of Agriculture and also under public private partner. More than 576708 farmers of 17th districts of central Uttar Pradesh have been farmer registered in mKisan Portal and they are regularly receiving text and voice SMS through mKisan Portal.
• The weather based agromet advisories helped in increasing yield and controlling disease and pest infestation of crops.
• Weather based agromet advisories are disseminated through Meghdoot app launched by Ministry of earth Science, IMD and ICAR and also under public private partner.
• The registered farmers receiving SMS through the mKisan portal every Tuesday & Friday. Total five SMS is sent per month. The total 576708 farmer getting advantage of valuable weather based information for conducting further agronomical practices by SMS.
• The meghdoot app helps farmers to manage crops & livestock better because weather based agromet advisory provided on app is a quick way to disseminate the forecast based agriculture.
• Agromet advisory bulletin of District level and block level are uploading to the site of IMD http://agromet.imd.gov.in/ and http://www.imdagrimet.gov.in/ every Tuesday and Friday.
• Daily weather data is being updated on this site http://www.imdagrimet.gov.in/ everyday.
• Agromet advisory bulletin of District level and block level are uploading to the mail i.e. agrimet_pune@yahoo.com, agrimet_information@yahoo.com, lata.vishnoi@gmail.com.
• Weather data is sent to all Newspaper Journalist through whats app group of agrometeorology “CSA Weather Information”.
• Farmers also get weather information details by phone & news paper.
• Farmers feedback is also been collected through telephonic and whatsapp message about the profit/loss occurred due to agromet advisory bulletin.

FASAL Project
