PREFACE

Four of the twenty nine districts of Tamilnadu are identified by thePlanning Commission of India as to have been disadvantaged considering thesocio-economic, agro-ecological and bio-climatic indicators. Three of them viz.,Villupuram, Cuddalore and Nagapattinam lie on the coast and the fourth oneThiruvannamalai district lie adjacent to the coast. These districts aredisadvantaged in terms of socio-economic conditions such as lower literacy (61 percent as against the state average of 73.5 per cent), higher population of SC and STpopulation (28.09 per cent as against the states’ figure of 20 per cent) and a vastmajority of the farming community in these tracts are small and marginal farmers(72 per cent) with less than 2 hectare land holdings. However these districtscontribute for one third of rice area in the state though the productivity is low.Exclusive rice farming without much of crop or farm diversification is practiced inthese tracts. The low rice productivity here is attributed to infestation of pestand diseases, weeds, poor water and fertility management. Frequent cropfailures due to floods in recurrent seasons do cause distress to farmers of thesedistricts. Added to these constraints, the water bodies that serve the purposeof irrigation during pre and post monsoon seasons are heavily infested withaquatic weed water hyacinth that aggravates the problem by stalling earlyplanting or a restoring fallow or second season crop.

In the uplands characterized by poor rainfall and dry tracts spread over theinterior parts of these districts, the yields are generally low, coupled with theeverlasting risk of total crop failure due to vagaries of rainfall. Farming systemapproach was observed to be a resource management strategy for achievingeconomic and sustainable agricultural production to meet the diverse requirementof farm household while preserving the resource base and maintaining highenvironmental quality. Landless labourers constitute 15 per cent of the populationin these four districts. Though NFWP and NREGA, the national developmentprojects target these segment, still a larger proportion of landless agriculturallabourers need an alternative livelihood option. Farming enterprises such asmushroom production or vermicomposting that could be practiced in their ownhousehold would serve the causes of continued employment during off-seasons,enhanced nutritional standards and livelihood security.

Accordingly Farming System designs with the integration of variedcomponents to suit the wetland and upland conditions along with coastal shoreswere evolved and component technologies for these designs were alsostandardized by the Department of Agronomy, Faculty of Agriculture, AnnamalaiUniversity through institutional and on-farm experiments from 1996-2006. TheseIFS designs are upscaled for adoption by the development partners of this projectand the impact of these interventions on their livelihood of 2400 farminghouseholds are studied.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The NAIP-SRLS subproject “Farming Systems for Livelihood Security ofSmall and Marginal Farmers in Disadvantaged Districts of Tamilnadu” wassanctioned to Annamalai University as Lead Center along with Dhan Foundation,Vedapuri KVK and BMT KVK as consortium partners. It covered fourdisadvantaged districts of Tamilnadu viz. Cuddalore, Nagapattinam, Villupuramand Tiruvannamalai. The baseline survey of the project indicated that the grosshousehold annual income in Wetland clusters, upland clusters and coastal clustersare Rs.31,822.11, Rs.30,398 and Rs.20,526. The target area was categorized in tothree different clusters based on their agro-ecology, as wetland clusters (withmono cropping of rice, transplanted under traditional mode of cropping patternviz., rice-blackgram), upland clusters (with dryland irrigated crops such as millets,groundnut, vegetables as the base crop) and shore farming clusters (that holdsshrimp farming in sea backwaters as the livelihood of fisher folk). Each clustercomprised three villages, where in 100 small and marginal farmers and 100landless labourers were selected as development partners. The technicalinterventions were based on varied integrated farming systems approach to suitthe differing agro-ecology and were super imposed with training on otheragronomic strategies of component technologies such as INM, IPM,mechanization, post harvest processing etc. For the wetland clusters, an innovativedesign of integrating fish culture and poultry rearing in the rice fields wasimplemented in the rice fields of 838 farmers. Infrastructure like poultry cages,concrete posts were created on these farms. For upland clusters, the IFS designincluded integrating goat and crops of choice of the development partners.Accordingly, 1000 goats @ 2 goats for each of the 500 farming households weregiven to development partners. For the shore farming clusters, culturing sea weedGracilaria edulis was disseminated for replacing shrimp culture. The landlesslabourers from all the fourteen clusters numbering 1500 were trained in mushroomculture or vermicomposting. Besides these farming system based basicinterventions, innovative bio-control of the aquatic weed water hyacinth in 30watersheds using an insect bio-control agent Neochetina eichhorniae and medicinalplant product Coleus amboinicus, were also demonstrated and adopted in24 watersheds spread through these four districts. The weighted mean value forwetland clusters and upland clusters are 80 per cent and 74 per cent. The resultsindicate that the livelihood enhancement in wetland clusters were 54 per cent inNagapattinam, 88 per cent in Cuddalore and 98 per cent in Villupuram districts.The livelihood enhancements were 65, 75 and 82 per cents in Nagapattinam,Cuddalore and Villupuram districts, respectively for upland clusters.

TECHNICAL DETAILS

1. INTRODUCTION

Traditionally, the rice tract in these districts Cuddalore, Nagapattinam,Villupuram, Tiruvannamalai were growing two crops of rice stretched duringthe sequence of monsoon seasons viz. ‘Kuruvai’ (June to August) and ‘Thaladi’(September to December) or ‘Samba’ (July to December) and ‘Navarai’(January to April). Accordingly these lands are called double croppedwetlands. However, with inadequate receipt of water in the Cauvery River inrecent years, double cropping now is possible only with the availability ofsupplemental irrigation sources like underground water. The low riceproduction here is attributed to infestation of pest and diseases, weeds, poorwater and fertility management. Frequent crop failures due to floods inrecurrent seasons do cause distress to farmers of these districts. Theserecurrent floods are due to changing climate as well as blockage of irrigationchannels with aquatic weeds.

In the uplands spread over the interior parts of these districts, dry landfarming constitute 52 per cent of the total cultivable area, accounting only for 40per cent of the total food grain production. The yields in these dry tracts aregenerally low, coupled with the everlasting risk of total crop failure due tovagaries of rainfall. Further, many gaps in component technologies of soil, water,fertilizer and weed management with special emphasis on perennial weeds suchas hariali grass and nut sedge have to be attended for conserving the meagreresources available in such dry tracts and to effectively utilize them for farmproduction in a sustainable manner. As rain water needs to be effectivelyharnessed on the soil surface, the land need to be kept weed free. This enablesmaximum amount of rain water to seep into the soil and also reduces evapo-transpiration loss of water from the weed vegetation. However, repeated handweeding using hand hoes or shallow depth implements often expose the surfacesoil moisture for more evaporative loss. Uses of herbicides are seldom preferreddue to lack of optimum soil moisture for herbicide desorption. This makes weedmanagement in dry lands a more complicated but much more significanttechnology for enhancing farm productivity.

11

The disadvantaged districts of Tamilnadu occupy a coastal length of 270 kmand coastal aqua farming by both farmers as well as fisher folk need to bereinforced with advanced scientific techniques and alternative options like sea-weed culture in order to strengthen their declining resource generation.

For managing aquatic weed, the different management options availablehave their own merits and constraints. Exclusive dependence on classical bio-control using insects is constrained with the length of time and reminiscence of theweed below threshold level even after completion of the project. Further, in manywatershed environs of India, classical bio-control with insects is limited byinterrupted host range (weed vegetation) due to drying of water bodies in thesummer. As regards herbicide use, toxicity on non-target flora and fauna andresidue hazards militate against their adoption. Further, no single herbicide isregistered for use on water, in India.

Accordingly, the remedial measures tried in this sub project included

Ø Farming Systems approach with integration of other farm enterprises,varying with agro-ecological conditions such as wetlands with rice oruplands with dryland farming.

Ø Productivity enhancement in rice and other crops

Ø Enhanced resource conservation through better management of weeds inwater resources

Ø Reduced environmental pollution through optimized agro input use

Ø Alternative options for aqua farming and landless labourers.

2. OVERALL SUB-PROJECT OBJECTIVES

Ø Up scaling farming system models through on farm research for adoption

under wetland, upland and shore farming conditions in disadvantaged

districts of Tamilnadu.

Ø Productivity enhancement in predominant crops of these districts through

technologies like IPM, INM and mechanized cultivation.

Ø Imparting training for processing and value addition in the farm produces.

Integrated Rice + Fish + Poultry Farming

An innovative mode of integrating fish culture and poultry rearing in rice

fields was designed. Unlike other farming systems demonstrated elsewhere,

wherein the component enterprises would remain as separate entities, in this IFS

approach, fish poly culture with Catla, Rohu, Mrigal, Common Carp and Grass

Carp in equal proportions of a stocking density of 2000 fingerlings ha-1 were taken

up in trenches running along the border of rice fields in one side, with a dimension

of 1 x 0.5 m, occupying 10 per cent rice area. Broiler birds @ 1 bird / 10 m2 of rice

area, were housed in cages that could accommodate a maximum of 20 birds (6 x 4

m 2 of floor space and a height of 3 m), were installed in the field using six concrete

posts of height 2.4m, 1.2m buried inside the field and 1.2m protruding above,

lifting the cages above crop canopy. The bottom of the cages were made of wire

mesh (0.5 sq. inch) so as to leave the broiler waste, straight to the rice field wherein

a 5 cm water column were maintained, allowing the poultry waste to get dissolved

and to serve both as manure to the field as well as feed for the fishes. This

excluded the need for collecting the poultry waste and applying it to the rice field

the task of which were laborious and cumbersome, besides the scope for some

wastage. The fishes were able to swim in the rice field and feed on the pests and

weeds.

Integrated Goat + Vegetable / Floriculture / Millet Farming

This technology involved rearing goats and using them for manuring as

well as plant protection in crops that were grown during the succeeding cropping

season. Under traditional goat rearing mode, farmers rear goats, exclusively on

herbs and vegetation available on social and ranching sites. In this intervention,

farmers were trained to rear the goats, allowing them to graze on the weed

vegetation (mostly perennial grasses like Cynodon dactylon and sedges like Cyperus

rotundus) that predominate the cropped lands during the off-season.

Simultaneously, collecting the goat manure during the off-season and

incorporating them for the crops (millet / vegetable / flower crop) during the

rainfed seasons greatly complimented the crop by virtue of improved organic

matter, soil nutritional status, pest, disease and weed control (through depletion of

15

soil weed seed bank and suppression of alternate weed hosts for the pest and

diseases). This greatly helped control of perennial weeds. However, these goats

(reared @ 4/acre or 10/ha) were fed with tree loppings and other freely and easily

available forages during the cropping season. Early sexual maturity, low age at

first kidding (10-14 months) and multiple births in well managed goats

contributed for a rapid rise in goat population. Hence, farmers were trained to sell

goats attaining weight between 15-20 kg, after 18 months.

Integration of seaweed culture (Gracilaria edulis), in coastal aqua farming

This technology for seaweed culture involved growing Gracilaria edulis by

raft or floating method. Fragments of this native sea weed were collected and used

as seed. The floating device was a simple frame made of bamboos durable in sea

water. Using this a 3m2 frame is formed and 15 to 20 cross lines of rope were tied.

In each cross line, 20 seed fragments of sea weed were tied. The raft were made to

float at 50 cm below sea water surface, with the help of floats made of foam or

plastic buoys or bags filled with coconut husks. The frame was also anchored to

bottom using bamboo poles. From 1ha, 100 tons of fresh sea weed bio-mass,

resulting in 10 tons of dry sea weed or 2 tons of agar agar annually were obtained

and each harvest cycle took 60 days.

Integrated bio-control of aquatic weeds

Managing floating aquatic weed water hyacinth in water bodies such as

farm or village ponds, irrigation channels and aquaculture habitats were imparted

for trainees with integrated management option. The strategy for managing the

aquatic weed water hyacinth was through the integration of insect bio-control

agent Neochetina eichhorniae / bruchii with the use of dried plant material of the

medicinal herb Coleus amboinicus L. The medicinal herb was allelopathic on water

hyacinth through the mechanism of membrane disruption and electrolyte leakage

and the dried plant powder easily got absorbed into the weeds through the leaf

scrapings made by the insect agents.

Achievement of Rice + Fish + Poultry Farming System

The baseline survey of the project indicated that the gross household annualincome in Wetland clusters is Rs.31,822.11. Increases in income for these threedistricts through the adoption of Rice + Fish + Poultry farming are presented intable 1. The increase in Gross household income in Villupuram district is Rs.31,200which is accounting for 98 per cent, the highest, as the number of broiler rearingspread over three crops of rice is seven. The increase in gross household income inCuddalore district is Rs.28,050, that contributes only 88 per cent increase. This isbecause of the fact that water availability in the Wetland cluster of this district isnot permitting more than one crop and hence, only four broiler rearings alone arepossible. However, the farmers are enthusiastic about the intervention as is evidentfrom one broiler rearing that extends outside the three that are possible during thesingle crop of rice. The increase in gross household income is the least of Rs.17,300that makes only 54 per cent increase with in an year in Nagapattinam district.Though two crops of rice are grown and poultry rearings for five generations aretaken up, the meat yield and market prices are comparatively lower than thatexperienced at Cuddalore. The Manurial output from broiler birds in rice arefurnished in table 2. The results indicate that addition of poultry manure in fivecents of rice area has added nutrients more than the quantity that could have beenpossible through the normally recommended dose of Farm Yard Manure. Highernutrient addition through poultry manure compared to other organic sources inrice is already observed in institutional and on-farm experiments. Pest incidence inrice as shown in table 3, is also reduced due to integration of the fish culture andpoultry components, because of the feeding habits of fishes that suppresses the eggmasses, larvae and alternate weed hosts of pests. Pest suppression and livelihoodenhancements are experiencing incremental enhancements from those observed inprevious year results.

19

The four new wetland clusters, from April 2012 formed three in Cuddalore

district and one in Villupuram district involve Rice+Fish+Poultry farming in 400

farmers holdings, with the total number of development partners for wetland Rice

+Fish +Poultry farming intervention, increasing to 838. The striking success of this

Rice + Fish + Poultry farming system has made 392 other farmers (other than the

838 identified development partners) to adopt this in their holding. Further 12 of

the identified development partners have been extending the technology from the

project supported 200 m2 area to half an acre (2000 m2) of their holdings. Further,

the State Planning Commission of Tamilnadu, on requests from farmers who have

been consulted, at their regional consultative meetings, invited an exclusive

presentation of the project interventions at the State Planning Commission

Chennai, where in all the secretaries and executives of line departments

participated. The technology was accepted for upscaling throughout the state. The

State Agriculture department also has started sending batches of 50 farmers, for

training in Rice+ Fish +Poultry farming through its ATMA scheme and so far six

batches have been trained.

Achievement of Goat + Millet / Vegetable / Floriculture Farming System

In the upland clusters, integrating goats rearing with crops in sequence,enhanced the livelihood of small and marginal farmers. The baseline surveyindicated that annual income of farmers in upland clusters is Rs.30,398, in all thethree districts. The average livelihood enhancement is the highest in Villupuramdistrict (table 4), as the reproduction from two goats given to the farmers, at thecommencement of the project, has resulted in eleven goats in total by 36 monthswith nine of them becoming saleable. In other two districts, though thereproduction rate on an average is comparable, the weight increase in kids is slowbecause of lesser availability of the loppable fodder during cropping season andweed vegetation available for grazing during the off-season. This is reflected onthe fact that farmers of these districts viz., Cuddalore and Nagapattinam had onlyseven additional goats that are salable by 36 months duration that contributed forcomparatively lower livelihood enhancement. However, the reduction in weedbiomass in the farmers field because of grazing by goats in the off-season. (Fig 2) ishigher in Cuddalore and Nagapattinam districts compared to Villupuram thatcould be attributed to closer grazing of goats for want of excessive or adequateflushes of weed vegetation in the off-season in these two districts compared toVillupuram.

In the upland clusters, the goats given to 500 farmers (two for eachdevelopment partner) have multiplied to 8000 at the end of four years (March2012) after the sale of six to eight goats by a development partner (on an average).Further, these 8000 goats have multiplied to 12,000 goats at the end of March 2014.The manurial addition from these goats and weed control by virtue of grazing onweed vegetation during the off season has greatly complimented crop production.The details are given in table 4.

Achievement of seaweed culture in coastal shore farming

In shore farming clusters, culture of seaweed Gracilaria edulis improved the

annual household income of the participating development partners (Table 5). The

baseline survey value indicated that their annual income is Rs. 20,526. Villupuram

district experienced the highest of 68 per cent of livelihood enhancement, as the

number of harvests is five / year, made possible by lesser dilution of the

brackishness of backwater during the monsoon seasons. Cuddalore is next in order

(with even four harvests / year) as the yield of seaweed biomass is 220 kg / raft

which is slightly higher than the other two districts where the yields are only 200

kg of fresh seaweed / raft. The enthusiasm of development partners is lower in

Nagapattinam district that accounted for only three rafts compared to four rafts

used for seaweed culture in other districts. This solely contributed for the least

enhancement of livelihood (39 per cent).

area, are housed in cages that could accommodate a maximum of 20 birds (6’ x 4’

of floor space and a height of 3’), that are installed in the fields using four concrete

posts of height 8’, 4’ buried inside the field and 4’ protruding above, lifting the

cages above the crop canopy. The bottom of the cages are made of wire mesh (0.5

sq. inch) so as to leave the broiler waste, straight to the rice field wherein a 10 cm

water column is maintained, allowing the poultry waste to get dissolved and to

serve both as manure to the field as well as feed for the fishes. This excludes the

need for collecting the poultry waste and applying it to the rice field, the task of

which is laborious and cumbersome, besides the scope for some wastage. The

fishes could swim in the rice field and feed on the pests and weeds.

Integrated Goat + Crop Farming System

This technology involve rearing goats and using them for manuring as well

as plant protection in crops that are grown during the succeeding cropping season.

Under existing goat rearing mode, farmers rear goats, exclusively on herbs and

vegetation available on social and ranching sites. In the intervention proposed,

farmers are trained to rear the goats, allowing them to graze on the weed

vegetation (mostly perennial grasses like Cynodon dactylon and sedges like Cyperus

rotundus) that predominate the cropped lands during the off-season.

Simultaneously, collecting the goat manure during the off-season and

incorporating them for the crops (millet / vegetable / flower crop) during the

rainfed seasons greatly compliment the crop by virtue of improved organic matter,

soil nutritional status, pest, disease and weed control (through depletion of soil

weed seed bank and suppression of However, these goats (reared @ 4/acre or

10/ha) need to be fed with tree loppings and other freely and easily available

forages during the cropping season.

32

Integrated Sea weed culture in shore farming

This technology for seaweed culture involves growing Gracilaria edulis by

raft or floats method. Fragments of this native sea weed is collected and used as

seed. The floating devise is a simple frame made of bamboos durable in sea water.

With bamboo, a 3m2 frame is formed and 15 to 20 cross lines of rope are tied. In

each cross line 20 seed fragments of sea weed are tied. The raft is to float at 50 cm

below sea water surface, with the help of floats made of foam or plastic buoys or

bags filled with coconut husks. The frame is also anchored to bottom using

bamboo poles. From 1 ha, 100 tons of fresh sea weed bio-mass, resulting in 10 tons

of dry sea weed or 2 tons of agar annually could be obtained from each harvest

cycle within 60 days.

Biological control of water hyacinth

Training for managing floating aquatic weed water hyacinth in waterbodies such as farm or village ponds, irrigation channels and aquaculture habitatsare being imparted for trainees with integrated management options. They includeuse of insects, allelopathic plant products, fishes and weed utility. However, theprime strategy for managing the aquatic weed water hyacinth is through theintegration of insect bio-control agent Neochetina eichhorniae / bruchii with the useof dried plant material of the medicinal herb Coleus amboinicus L. The medicinalherb is allelopathic on water hyacinth through the mechanism of membrane

33

disruption and electrolyte leakage and the dried plant powder easily gets absorbedinto the weeds through the leaf scrapings made by the insect agents. All thedevelopment partners are encouraged to cultivate C. amboinicus in smaller area oftheir fields and the harvested leaves are made in to dry powder. The insects arebeing reared in the lead centre. Subsequently, they were released in 24 watershedsspread throughout the district @ 1000 per water shed at the first instance inOctober 2009. The aqueous extract of dry leaf powder of C. amboinicus was sprayedin January 2010.

11 CONSTRAINTS, IF ANY AND REMEDIAL MEASURES TAKEN

Constraints

Ø Marketing of poultry meat through established and existing urban networkwas less remunerative.

Ø Upscaling from the on-farm participating rice + Fish + Poultry fields of 5cents (200 m2) to half an acre or more with more no. of cages by enthusiasticfarmers was constrained by credit support.

Ø Goat rearing by farmers opposed by other non-beneficiary farmers due tograzing on non-beneficiary’s holdings.

Remedial measures taken

Ø Farming were assisted to initiate marketing outlets on their own (withfinancial assistance to commodity interest groups)

Ø Organized a workshop exclusively for the bankers, so that Rice +Fish +Poultry system is accepted for credit support by them as a viable technologyfor advancing loans.

Ø Goats given to development partners were insured and tagged andresponsibility of monitoring grazing by the goats exclusively within thebeneficiary farmer’s holdings87 was assigned to the commodity interestgroups.

Ø Reduced environmental pollution through optimized agro input useØ Alternative options for landless labourers: viz., Mushroom cultivation and

vermicomposting.

21. STEPS UNDERTAKEN FOR POST NAIP SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainability Fund

For ensuring continuance of the project implementation and technicalinterventions such as integrated farming system models, the participatingdevelopment partners have been organized in to Commodity Interest Groups,with the involvement of local administrative personnel. These groups wouldensure maintenance of the IFS infrastructure such as poultry cages in the rice fieldsof development partners and continued activities. These groups would also ensurethe timely supply of inputs to them as well as resolution of any localized problems.Sustainability fund has been collected from the financial contribution of thedevelopment partners for the inputs required. The fund is maintained by theCommodity Interest Groups concerned and used in the operation of FarmingSystem models. Bankers workshop for ensuring credit support for the spread andsustenance of IFS models was also organized.
