2.2 Description of Agro-climatic Zone & major agro ecological situations (based on soil and
topography)
S. No Agro-climatic Zone Characteristics
1 North Eastern Zone The district lies between 12º 10’ and 13º 15’ Northern latitudes
and 79º 15’ and 80º 20’ Eastern longitudes. The average annual
precipitation is 1104.4 mm with 52 per cent benefit from
North-East monsoon and 41 per cent from South-West
monsoon and the remaining 7 per cent from summer showers
and winter rains respectively. The mean maximum and
minimum temperatures are 37.9oC and
18.5oC respectively. The area has semi-arid tropical climate.
The hot climate prevails during the month of March-April and
the slightly cold climate from December to February, the rest of
years belong to humid climate. Tanks are the most important
source of irrigation in this zone closely followed by wells. .
Due to tank and well irrigation, wetland and garden land
cropping systems are in vogue though major area is under dry
land agriculture. The underground water potential in this region
is assessed to be good and this zone stands foremost in lift
irrigation from wells with large number of agricultural pump-
sets.

3. Scientists involved: SMS (CRP), SMS (PB & G), SMS (Agrl.Ento.)
4. Details of farming situation:
In Tiruvallur district, the main cropping seasons are Sornavari (April-July), Samba (Aug-Dec)
and Navarai (Dec-April) and the cropping pattern is Rice – Rice- Pulses/Groundnut. Soil type varies
from coastal sandy, coastal and river alluvium and red soil with moderate pH of 6.5- 7.5 in most of
the areas except coastal sandy soils were the pH is >8.0. The average annual precipitation is 1104.4
mm with 52 per cent benefit from North-East monsoon and 41 per cent from South-West monsoon
and the remaining 7 per cent from summer showers and winter rains respectively. The mean
maximum and minimum temperatures are 37.9oC and 18.5oC respectively. The area has semi-arid
tropical climate. The hot climate prevails during the month of March-April and the slightly cold
climate from December to February, the rest of years belong to humid climate. Tanks are the most
important source of irrigation in this zone closely followed by wells. Paddy is cultivated in 108000 ha
in all three seasons as an irrigated crop.
5. Problem definition / description:
In Tiruvallur District, about 1500 ha area is affected by submergence problem mainly in
minjur block of cholovaram district. Farmers are cultivating BPT 5204 paddy in submergence
prone areas. BPT 5204 is a fine grain paddy variety and widely accepted by the farmers of
tiruvallur district but encounters the problem of low yield in submergence prone areas. Hence an
alternate variety suitable for submergence prone areas of Tiruvallur District is needed for
improving the production and productivity of paddy.

5. Problem definition / description:
In Tiruvallur District, about 2500 ha area is affected by salinity problem mainly in minjur,
pondhavakkam, poondi, puzhal, cholovaram and gummidipoondi areas. Farmers are cultivating
BPT 5204 paddy in salinity prone areas. Some farmers are aware of growing TRY 3 paddy variety
but that variety was released ten years back. Growing old variety yields low and also farmers need
fine grain paddy variety as that of BPT 5204. Hence an alternate variety suitable for salinity areas
of Tiruvallur District is needed for improving the production and productivity of paddy.

dry land agriculture. The underground water potential in this region is assessed to be good and this
zone stands foremost in lift irrigation from wells with large number of agricultural pump-sets.
Groundnut is cultivated in 7276 ha mainly during Rabi season (Dec – April) as an irrigated crop.
The district average productivity is 2800kg/ha and annual production of 20280tonnes.

Alternate variety for high yield
In Tiruvallur District, JL 24 is the popular variety grown by the farmers followed by TMV
13 which is a red kernel variety. JL 24 was released more than 30 years ago and has low yield
KVK-TIRUVALLUR ANNUAL REPORT 2018-19 Page 29
potential. TMV 13 is a high yielding variety with yield potential of 3.0tonnes /ha. This variety is
acceptable by the farmers but encounters problems in germination and poor storage capacity.
Hence an alternate variety with high yield, pest and disease resistance suitable to Tiruvallur
District is needed for improving the production and productivity of Groundnut in the District.

Ribbed gourd is being cultivated in Tiruvallur district during July and January. The average
annual precipitation is 1104.4 mm with 52 per cent benefit from North-East monsoon and 41 per
cent from South-West monsoon and the remaining 7 per cent from summer showers and winter
rains respectively. The hot climate prevails during the month of March-April and the slightly
cold climate from December to February, the rest of years belong to humid climate. Tanks are
the most important source of irrigation in this zone closely followed by wells. The mean
maximum and minimum temperatures are 37.9oC and 18.5oC respectively. The area has semi-
arid tropical climate. Ribbed gourds are being cultivated in well drained sandy loam soil in 10
blocks of Tiruvallur district under irrigated condition.
5. Problem definition / description: (one paragraph)
Ribbed gourd is cultivated in large extent in South and Eastern states. It is rich in
vitamin A, potassium, phosphorus and calcium. In Tiruvallur district total area under
vegetable crops is 2385 ha with the total production of 55385 tonnes. Due to low yield in
existing variety / hybrid and fluctuation in market price of the produce ribbed gourd is
cultivated in very less area. However, the producers of ribbed gourd are economically and
socially weaker people facing various problems. Due to illiteracy, ignorance and financial
weakness, the farmers possess a weak bargaining power and on the other hand, the traders take
the advantage of the farmers “weakness” because they are generally well informed, well
organized, financially sound and very tactful in their dealings. Most of the growers in the
study area face many problems relating to the cultivation of ribbed gourd such as pests and
diseases, high cost of input, lack of irrigation, shortage storage facilities and lack of scientific
knowledge.

Ribbed gourd belongs to genus Luffa. Genus name was derived from the product “Loofah”
used as bathing sponges, scrubber pads, doormats, pillows, mattresses, cleaning utensils, etc. It
contains a gelatinous compound called luffein. Ribbed gourd are cultivated on a commercial
scale and grown in homesteads for its immature fruits which are used as cooked vegetable. Fibre
of mature dry fruits is used as a bath sponge. As tender fruits are easily digestible and
appetizing, it is prescribed for those who are suffering from malaria and other seasonal fevers.
Study has been conducted to assess the suitability of ribbed gourd cultivation in Tiruvallur
district of Tamil Nadu, for which standardization of hybrids is of immense utility. Hence, the
present experiment was conducted to study the assessment of suitable ribbed gourd hybrids for
KVK-TIRUVALLUR ANNUAL REPORT 2018-19 Page 33
their suitability for cultivation in Tiruvallur district of Tamil Nadu. The study was carried out by
Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Tirur, Tiruvallur district during 2018-2019 to assess the performance of
ribbed gourd hybrids in Tiruvallur district under scientific management practices.
Two high yielding hybrids namely farmer’s local variety (T1), TNAU COCH-1 ribbed gourd
(T2) and (T3) Arka Vikram ribbed gourd were tested with ten replications at farmers’ field. The
results revealed that the overall performance of TNAU COCH-1 ribbed gourd followed by Arka
Vikram ribbed gourd hybrid and was superior to local hybrids and found most suitable for
cultivation in Tiruvallur district.
The highest fruit yield of 31.52 t/ha was obtained in COCH-1 followed by Arka
Vikram ribbed gourd (31.00 t/ha) and the lowest from fruit local hybrid (20.40 t/ha). Highest
benefit to cost B: C ratio ( 3.0) was reported in fresh fruit COCH-1 followed by Arka vikram
fresh fruit ( 2.87) and the lowest fresh fruit ribbed gourd in local hybrid (2.39).

4. Details of farming situation: Not applicable
5. Problem definition / description:
Time consuming and inefficient decomposting process in traditional method
Traditionally compost is prepared from cow dung and crop residues by heaping and
watering intermittently and allowing the microbes naturally found in the waste material to
decompose the waste material. In this method the composting of crop residues and animal waste
may take longer time ie.,upto 90-120 days. Sometimes the composting is not proper even after 3
months. In order to hasten the process of composting suitable decomposing microbial cultures are
needed. Hence various microbial cultures developed by Central Institutes and commercially
available have to be assessed for their efficiency.
6. Technology Assessed:

Dairy cattle were allowed for grazing, Because of shrunken grazing field, cows could not
meet out their nutrient requirement in Their Tiruvallur district. Deficiency of nutrient leads to energy
& protein deficit that caused hormonal imbalance for reproduction. Negative energy and hormonal
imbalance leads to anestrous-cystic ovary which resulted in extended postpartum period. So calving
interval is increased ; it leads to huge economic loss.

Situation analysis/Problem statement:
In Tamil Nadu paddy is grown in 17.65 lakh ha. with an average production of 64.74
lakh MT and productivity of 3668 kg per ha (2014-15). In the North Eastern Zone of Tamil
Nadu, Paddy is being cultivated in three seasons in Thiruvallur district viz., Sornavari (Apr –
Jul), Samaba (Aug – Nov) and Navarai (Dec – Mar).In Thiruvallur district paddy is being
cultivated in 96348 ha with the production of 4,26,203 MT and average productivity is 4423
Kg per ha. In Tiruvallur district farmers cultivate BPT 5204 and NLR 34449 varieties during
samba season. Pest and disease incidence has been recorded high in these varieties. The
variety CO 52 paddy variety has been released by Tamil Nadu Agricultural University during
the year 2017. Duration of the crop variety is 130.135 days with the parentage of BPT 5204
and CO 50. It has medium slender white rice with the production capability of 6191 Kg per
ha and 1000 grain weight is 14.1 grams. The special characters of the variety is medium tall,
high yielding, moderately tolerate to Brown plant hopper, leaf hopper, blast, sheath blight,
sheath rot and brown spot.
Plan, Implement and Support:
For the popularization of CO 52 variety during samba season in Tiruvallur District, it
was proposed to conduct field level demonstrations in twenty places during the year 2017-18
and 2018-19. Hence twenty farmers were selected from five blocks viz., Ekadu,
Gummidipoondi, Ellapuram, Solavaram and Kadambathur of Tiruvallur distirct. On campus
and off campus trainings were given to farmers as well as extension personnel on various
improved crop production technologies and integrated pest management practices. The
farmers were also facilitated with technical pamphlets on Nutrient management, Pest and
disease management and wild boar management. Demonstrations were made on seed
treatment, Pheromone traps and sticky traps in pest monitoring, IPM and IDM concepts,
harvest and post harvest operations.Technology intervention viz, supply of new variety CO 52
@ 40 kg/ha; Seed treatment with Azospirillum, Phosphobacteria & KRB each @ 600 g/ha
seed & SA @ 2.0 kg/ha; Seed treatment -P. fluorescens @10 g/kg + 2.5 kg SA;Machine
transplanting; Installation of Pheromone trap @ 12 /ha ; Release of Trichogramma chilonis
@5 cc/ha were demonstrated at field level. Necessary farm advisory services were given by
the Subject Matter Specialist of KVK with varied specialization. The farmers were also
facilitated with technical pamphlets. Demonstrations were made on seed treatment, IPM and
IDM concepts, harvest and post harvest operations. Sowing was taken during the month
Aug-Sep 2017 and harvested during the month of Dec 2017 – Jan 2018. Parameters viz.,
Height of the plant, number of tillers per hill, number of productive tillers per hill, incidence
of Brown Plant hopper(no./hill), Stem borer (% damage), BLB, Blast (PDI), Yield(kg/ha) and
BCR was observed and recorded from the demonstration fields.
Output:

15. A. 2. Greengram CO 8 – A factor in changing socio economic status of farmers
1. Situation analysis/Problem statement: Greengram is cultivated in 9188ha mainly during Rabi (Dec-Jan) season in Tiruvallur
District in the cropping pattern Rice-Rice-Greengram. The average productivity of this crop
is 850kg /ha in Tiruvallur. KM 2 is the popularly cultivated variety in the District. This is a
variety with indeterminate growth habit and needs several picking. This variety is also
susceptible to pod borer leading to yield losses upto 25% and was released 20 years back.
The new variety CO 8 released from TNAU during 2013 is a short duration variety maturing
in 55-60 days, with determinate growth habit, synchronous maturity and non shattering
nature. This is also tolerant to Yellow Mosaic Virus and Pod borer. Hence the variety CO 8
was introduced among the farmers through FLDs (2014-15 & 2017-18) and CFLDs (2016-17

15.A.3. Direct Sown Rice Cultivation – Integrated Crop Management Practices to
impart
drought tolerance and boost productivity
Situation analysis/Problem statement:
Paddy is being cultivated in three seasons in Thiruvallur district viz., Sornavari (Apr –
Jul), Samba (Aug – Nov) and Navarai (Dec – Mar). Paddy is cultivated as a direct sown crop
in about 1000 ha area in Ellapuram and Kadambattur blocks of Tiruvallur District under
semidry conditions. The successful cultivation of the crop under such situation mainly
depends on the rainfall during the early stages of crop growth and with availability of the tank
fed water during the later stages of crop growth. The crop is prone to drought when the
rainfall is inadequate. Yield is drastically reduced under such circumstances due to poor
recovery of the crop which encounters earlier drought stress and spikelet sterility problems
under terminal drought situations. The farmers cultivate varieties like BPT 5204 or MTU
1010 which are not drought tolerant and face severe yield loss. Hence drought tolerant variety
combined with integrated crop management practices to mitigate drought / impart drought
tolerance to crop have to be demonstrated to the farmers in order to realize good crop yield.
Anna (R) 4 is a drought tolerant variety released by TNAU in 2009. It matures in 100-105
days and has long slender white rice with the average yield of 3.7 t/ ha under drought
conditions.
Plan, Implement and Support:
Integrated Crop Management practices in direct sown rice have been demonstrated
during samba season of 2018-19 in Ellapuram and Ekadu blocks of Tiruvallur District. Ten
one acre demonstrations were conducted during the year 2018-19. On campus and off
campus trainings were given to farmers as well as extension personnel on various improved
crop production technologies and integrated pest management practices. The farmers were
also facilitated with technical pamphlets on drought tolerant varieties and Integrated Crop
management. Demonstrations were conducted on seed hardening and seed treatment, seed
KVK-TIRUVALLUR ANNUAL REPORT 2018-19 Page 111
drill sowing, PPFM spray for drought mitigation, IPM and IDM concepts. Technology
intervention viz, supply of new variety Anna (R) 4 @ 50 kg/ha; Seed treatment with
Azospirillum, Phosphobacteria & KRB each @ 600 g/ha seed & SA @ 2.0 kg/ha; Seed
hardening with 1% KCl; Seed drill sowing; PPFM spray demonstration @ 500 ml/ha (2
sprays) were demonstrated at field level. Necessary farm advisory services were given by the
Subject Matter Specialist of KVK with varied specialization. The farmers were also
facilitated with technical pamphlets. Demonstrations were made on Seed hardening, Seed
drill sowing, weed management and PPFM spray for drought mitigation. Sowing was taken
up during the month Sep, 2018 and harvested during the month of Jan 2019. Parameters viz.,
Height of the plant, number of productive tillers per plant, No. of grains/panicle, Drought
recovery rate, Yield (kg/ha), Net Returns and BCR was observed and recorded from the
demonstration fields.
Output:
Among the demonstrations undertaken in ten farmers field, Mr. C. Jayakumar of
Vadamadurai village having farming experience of 30 years has obtained the highest yield of
4500 kg per hectare by cultivating Anna (R) 4 and having followed the Integrated crop
management practices for direct sown paddy during samba 2018-19 and realized Net return
of Rs. 41450 and BCR of 2.71.

Comparison of Yield and Net Returns of the Demo with Check
Outcome:
Yield increase over the check variety MTU 1010 is 37.20%. Farmers of Ellapuram and
Ekadu block were highly satisfied with the technology demonstrated and the new variety
which is high yielding and tolerant to drought (drought recovery score of 1).The
marketability of the variety is also on par with MTU 1010.
Impact:
The farmers show greater interest to cultivate Anna (R) 4 as it is drought tolerant and
yielded 4100kg/ha even when the rainfall is very meager during the cropping period (55 mm
in three rainy days). Through FLD conducted during 2018-19, expected increase in area for
Anna (R) 4 is 50 hectares under direct sown condition. The farmers also show better
adoption rate for the improved technologies like Seed hardening and PPFM spray for
drought mitigation.

from the check variety was Rs. 65,937/- with the increase in Net Return of 59.64 per cent.
Pest and disease incidence was less. Market preference was high for this variety because of
its high oil content.
Horizontal spread
TMV 13 was found to be more remunerative to the farmers and the horizontal spread of
this variety was 2300 ha in Tiruvallur District during 2017-18.
3. Mechanization in Paddy
Paddy, one among the major crops of Tamil Nadu is being cultivated in 1,02,650 ha in
Tiruvallur District during Soranavari, Samba and Navarai seasons. Since the district is
adjacent to Chennai, labour scarcity is the major problem faced by the farming
communitydue to urbanization and other employment opportunities. Due to non availability
of sufficient labourers in time the framers are facing difficulties in transplanting, weeding and
harvesting. Based on the field survey and interactions with the farmers the KVK has initiated
the popularization of paddy transplanter.
Interventions
To start with, five On farm trials were laid in different villages of Tiruvallur district
during Samba, 2009. Transplanting was done using paddy transplanter. Trainings on raising
nursery, transplanting and various crop production technologies were given with technical
pamphlets. The demonstration plots were periodically visited, advisory services were given
and observations recorded. The method of using transplanter out yielded 5460 kg/ha of grain
followed by line planting (5250 kg/ha). On observing the efficiency and less labour
requirement the OFT was proposed for Front Line Demonstration and ten demonstrations
were laid during Navarai, 2010 in Ayalur, Kilampakkamand kandigai villages and necessary
follow up was done.

The performance of paddy transplanter was found satisfactory since the method is
efficient, economical and labour requirement is very less. Five days skill development
Training on paddy transplanter comprising of nursery raising, transplanting and maintenance
of the machine was given to 20 farmers of Cooperative societies at KVK, Tirur. Due to these
efforts around 610 ha was raised with transplanter during Sornavari, 2011.
Horizontal spread Front Line Demonstrations during Navarai, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 resulted in the following
Due to these efforts around 2200 ha was raised with transplanter during 2011, 7300 ha
during 2012 and 27500 ha during 2013.
During 2013 an area of 27500 ha was raised with transplanter which was 31.6 % of total
paddy area of the district.
In machine transplanting economic gains were expressed in terms of labour saving.
Labour saving was observed to be 77.10 % .
Farmers expressed their confidence in taking up machine transplanting to overcome labour
scarcity.
4. SRI in Paddy
Rice being the prime crop of Tiruvallur district, is cultivated in 1,02, 650 ha during
Sornavari, Samba and Navarai seasons. To achieve quantum yield increase in Rice, System of
Rice Intensification was introduced as a major objective in TN-IAMWARM Araniar and
Cooum sub basin of KVK, Tiruvallur.
Interventions
A total area of 5234 ha was raised under SRI in the sub basin areas. The SRI
technologies viz., 14 days old seedlings, single seedling, square transplanting with 25 x 25 cm
spacing, weed management using cono weeder, alternate wetting and drying and nitrogen
management using LCC were taught to the farmers and the farmers adopted the technologies
explained. Also nursery preparations and transplanting skill were followed.
Economic gains
An average of 6700 kg/ha of grain yield was realized by the farmers.
Impact and Horizontal Spread
SRI has created a major impact among the farmers and 35,000 ha of SRI area was
recorded in Tiruvallur District during 2016-17 accounting to 40.20 % of total rice area and
more horizontal spread is anticipated in the ensuing season.
