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.
