8. KVK, Roha, Raigad district Maharashtra

1. Supply of seed and planting material of desired crops

This KVK supplied about 4 tonnes of Karjat – 7 Variety to the farmers. 700 mango

seedlings and 1000 coconut seedlings were also provided

2. Agro-met advisory services on a continuous basis;

First week of June is normal time for onset of monsoon in Konkan However, many a

times, monsoon is delayed by 15-20 days leading to delayed sowing as well as transplanting

of rice. Under such circumstances the farmers can adopt contingency crop production

technology for alleviating effect of unfavourable rainfall.

In low lying area, rice varieties with medium duration (130-135 days) viz. palghar-1,

Sahyadri hybrid, Karjat-5 should be grown in place of late maturing varieties. For mid-land,

early varieties like Ratna, R-711, R-24, Karjat-4, etc could be grown, whereas, in uplands

very early varieties, maturing in 90-100 days, may be grown so as to mitigate impending

moisture stress during grain formation and maturity stages. Rahu method of sowing rice be

followed for uplands and midlands or mat nursery should grown and 15 days old seedlings be

trans planted in the field to avoid loss of time. In uplands, pulses like Cowpea (Var. C-152,

Konkan Sadabahar), Blackgram (Var. T-9, Sindhkheda-1) oilseeds like Sesame (Phule Til-1),

Niger (IPG-76) groundnut (Konkan Tapora, Konkan Gaurav, TG-26, Phule Pragati) and

hill millet like Ragi (B-11 and D-1) can be successfully grown under delayed monsoon rains.

The stability in the yield of Nagli could be enhanced with intercropping than its a sole

crop hence intercropping of ragi + groundnut in 2:1 and 1:1 proportion is most suitable and

economically beneficial. Strip intercropping of these crops across slope could reduce erosion

and runoff to a great extent.
