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

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.

INTRODUCTION

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

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

residual effect persisted up to six crops in
sequence.
In soils, deficient in both Zn and S,

The yield of garlic decreased with

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.

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

(357.1 g plant ) over control (62.86 g
plant ). On the other hand, application of
urea @1.50 g plant was found to be
associated with maximum oil yield (1.07
per cent).
Urea application through ring method
inlLemongrass (variety RRL 16) in different
seasons showed that in spring season
herbage yield was maximum (2.39 kg ha )

Urea plant . Maximum oil (0.28 per cent)
was found in treatment where 1.75g urea
plant followed by (0.26 per cent) in 2 g

dozes of Urea are required to enhance
herbage yield as well as oil content.
Integration of bio-inoculants with inorganic

inoculated to M.P. soils through Nitragin
inoculant and later on with SB1, SB16, SB103,
SB119 & SB120. Molecular pattern differed
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

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

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

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.

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
(JNKVV) is the premier institution for seed
production and distribution in the country. It
caters around one third of breeder seed
requirement of the nation. The clientle include

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
single window. It is being operated through
Director Farms of the University. The system
has been effective for the successful

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

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

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
Paddy fallow cropping sequence are under
practice.
Rice-chickpea is the predominant system next
to Rice-Wheat cropping system which covers
more than 65.0 and 68.0 thousand ha. area
during their respective season under rainfed-

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.

others as regards to the yield (20.15 q/ha) and
attack of insect pod borer. The next top ranking
variety is the JG-16. The JAKI 9218 failed to
compete any of the variety. The farmers
preferred variety JG-16 and JG-74 which gave
not only higher yield but also produced a
desirable grain size. The variety JG-16 much
liked by the farmers who visited the site and
demanded for the seed. The overall

over existing variety JG 315. Results of
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
maturing variety of paddy should be provided
to proper cultivation of subsequent gram crop.
The timely availability of quality seed must be
ensure, so that the residual soil moisture may
be utilized for the germination of crop.
Needs to suggest some measures to check or
destroy the weed population in standing crop.
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
compared to recommended, which provide
condition to promote collar rot disease at
seedling stage.
The farmers are least interested to invest
money on protection of crop as they are
economically poor.

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.

As in our area farmers are using their growing
trends by using local varieties in their field due
to their poor status as majority of farmers in
district is marginal and there is lack of
knowledge about agricultural practice and
technology and they do not have sufficient agri
inputs for their farming. So practices on proper

cropping system which covers more than 67.0
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.

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

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
