BIRSA AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY, RANCHIP.O.-KANKE, RANCHI-834006, JHARKHAND, INDIA

K.K. Khandelwal, IASVice-chancellor

From the Pen o f Vice-chancellor.Development of the country is beyond imagination, if agriculture is not taken into account as a sector of top priority. Agriculture has its significance not only in terms of population that it supports but also in terms of contribution to GDP, employment, export and overall socio-economic and political stability of the country. Agriculture is still trying to adjust with changes taken place in national and international scenario. At the same time depleting resource base, yield plateau, declining profitability and widening income gap between rural and urban people are demotivating the farmers. These have posed serious challenges to policy makers, administrators, scientists and extension functionaries. Birsa Agricultural University has already initiated efforts to meet these challenges.

The University has introduced innovations in teaching, research and extension. There has been tremendous strengthening of classroom infrastructure. Teachers have been motivated to use IT gadgets in teaching. Experiential learning programme has been oriented towards delivering services to the farmers.

Research infrastructure, both in the farm and laboratory has been improved to undertake not only applied research but also basic and strategic research. Initiative has been taken for research on hybrid in horticulture crops, climate resilient technology and precision agriculture. As far as extension education activities are concerned, efforts have been made to strengthen diagnostic services of ATIC at KVKs. The University has launched Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS) services and is poised to be upgraded to full-fledged call centre in near future.

ICT has been vigorously promoted in the University. Official website of the University has been redesigned and development of Financial Management and Human Resource Management System software are in final stage.

University has taken massive efforts to utilize full potential of seed production capacity of seed farms at headquarter, ZARSs, KVKs and Gauria Karma (Hazaribag). During the year under report university produced 3008 quintal of breeder, foundation and certified seeds.

The image of the university increased many fold with the successful organization of 38th Indian Agricultural Universities Association Vice-chancellors' Conference at Ranchi. The recommendations, if implemented, are sure to open a new vista for administrative and financial autonomy of agricultural universities across the country.

No stone will be left unturned in developing the University into one of the model agricultural Universities of the country. I extend heartiest thanks to all the scientists and staff members of the University involved in preparation, compilation and editing of B AU Annual Report 2013-14.

Efficiency (UAE)1.1.1 Survey and development of database on draught animal power (DAP) and

DAP based equipment and technologies in Jharkhand state: A survey was conducted in 5 (five) villages each in two blocks (Kanke and Namkom). It was found that most of the farmers had small land holdings and had a pair of bullocks. Heavy operations like summer ploughing, transportation and puddling is being done by he-buffaloes in about 30% area. Farmers in this region are still using traditional tools and implements like desi plough, pata, karaha, khurpi, yokes, bullock cart etc. Body dimensions of about 100 bulllocks and 100 he-buffaloes were measured to find the draft developed by average farm animals. An average pair of Chotanagpur bullocks generate draft between 400 to 600 N and he-buffaloes between 800 to 900N.

1.1.2 Development of improved yoke/harness and package of improved animal drawn implements for paddy cultivation : Survey was done to see theavailability of yokes which are being used by the farmers for different farm operations including transportation. Yokes are generally made up of local wood (sal, ber, gamhar, mango). Length of yokes varies from 170 cm to 200 cm and its weight is about 10-15 kg. In a trial, two designs of yokes (length 190 cm and weight 10 kg) have been fabricated in the workshop suitable for animals of Jharkhand state.

1.1.3 Development of Improved Carts for Draught Animals of Jharkhand : Asurvey of different bullock cart was conducted in the selected villages of Jharkhand state. It was found that the farmers used bullock cart made up of iron or wooden wheel.

AICRP on Renewable Sources of Energy (RES)Assessment of availability of surplus biomass / agro waste and their present utilization pattern in selected districts of the Jharkhand state: Thesurvey revealed the availability of biomass and current utilization of biomass in the representative district. The household had an average 1.35 to 3.3 cattle and the dung availability ranged from 15.28 to 28.3 kg per day. Dung was used for making dung cake for fuel and Farm Yard Manure. Crop residues in the representative villages were used mostly for fuel and in some cases for FYM. In most of the villages Biomass (wood) was the main cooking fuel followed by Dung Cake. However, Coal and LPG were also used.Installation, Commissioning and Evaluation of Modified Solid- State Digester at the Centre: Considering the cooking needs of the farm family and realizing the dung availability, two numbers (3 m3 and 6 m3 capacity) of solid state biogas plant has to be installed with the technical guidance of PAU Ludhiana. The location for installation of biogas plant has been finalized at Dairy Farm of the University considering easy availability of cow dung.Assessment of techno-economic acceptability and popularization of SPRERIIDDB (Inverted Down Draft Gasifier) based biomass cook stove in Ranchi : Two types (top feeding and side feeding) of SPRERI IDDB (Inverted Down Draft Gasifier) based biomass cook stove have been evaluated and found that the fuel burning rate in the bottom feeding type cook stove was lower than the top feeding type Cook Stove. Based on visual inspection of stove during fuel burning, smoke formation was less in both the stoves.Performance evaluation of SPRERI improved woodcutter : SPRERI improved woodcutter was tested for cutting of locally available wood about 10 hours. Diameter of wood log used were in the range of 20-30 mm. Output capacity of the machine was about 50-55 kg/h for wood cutting length of 25 cm length.

AICRP on Application of Plastics in Agriculture (APA)Rain water harvesting and its utilization for better water efficiency, plastics lined ponds and low head gravity drip irrigation system: The soil at pond site is found to be sandy loam, so side slope of pond is taken as 2:1. The bottom of pond is assumed to b e l5 m x l5 m and depth which is usually taken between 3-5


m, is taken 3 m. The top surface of pond will be 27 m x 27 m. The volume of pond will be 1359 m3. The calculated length and width of plastic film required will be equal and it is 30.42 m including 1 m length for bunging in soil and 1 m for shrinkage of plastic film. The volume of water which can be stored in the pond will be 1359 m3. The evaporation loss and rainfall during October 2012 to May 2013 was found to be 1145.7 mm (using pan evaporation data) and 120.4 mm respectively. The actual evaporation is found to be 1025.3 mm. The harvested water can be utilized using gravity based system in the area of 42 m x 3 5 m.

1.4.2 Development of low cost detachable roof greenhouse for round the year cultivation of tomato : Cultivation of tomato was done during months (January-May) in open field and detachable roof polyhouse. The temperature during summer was found to be less than maximum temperature in open field and during winter it is more than minimum temperature in open field. It has worked as greenhouse (October-February), shade net (March-May) and rain shelter (June-September).

1.5 AICRP on Post Harvest Technology (PHT)1.5.1 F easibility testing of PKV Akola Mini dal mill: Dhal recovery with PKV dal

mill unit in case of green gram and red gram was recorded around 80.2 % and 77.98 % respectively, with overall milling efficiency of 81.72 % and 79.89 % in case of green gram and red gram respectively. Overall capacity of machine was observed 120.54 kg/h and 118.45 kg/h in case of green gram and red gram. Operating cost per kg came out to be Rs 2.

1.5.2 Feasibility testing of grain cleaner : Capacity of pedal cum power operated grain cleaner was recorded 240 kg/h. And cost of operation was observed 12 Rs/q. Cleaning efficiency of the cleaner and grader was obtained 82.62 %, and 79.32% in case of arhar and green gram at 12.4 % and 13.2 % moisture content respectively.

1.5.3 Survey to identify the practices of ripening of fruits : Calcium carbide and Etmephon 39 % S.L. (trade name kripon) were used to ripen fruits. In general, 1-3 gm/kg calcium carbide and 1 ml /litre Etmephon were used to ripen the banana, mango and papaya. Cost incurred on ripening per kg of mango, banana and papaya was found to be 12-36 paisa for mango, banana and papaya. Treatment period with calcium carbide was reported to be 24 hr in case of banana and mango whereas in case of papaya it was noticed 48 hr in summer


whereas in winter in case of banana treatment period was 48 hr. Subsequently, products were stored for the period of 1-3 days depending upon the need of final colour and market demand.

1.6 Precision Farming Development Centre (PFDC)1.6.1 Fertigation study in cauliflower : The highest percentage of survival of

cauliflower seedlings were found in portray (98.09) followed by formaldehyde treated soil (87.8), soil solorized (86.2) and control (81.33). It was found that seedlings grown in protray were healthy & sturdy plant and portray seedling was used to study the effect of fertigation on cauliflower. The three treatment used to study the effect of fertigation were T1 (80% fertigation of RDF), T2 (100% fertigation of RDF) and T3 (120% fertigation of RDF). It was found that there is no significant difference in yield of T2 and T3, based on the cost of fertilizer it can be concluded that T2 treatment was best.

1.6.2 Impact of drip irrigation and fertigation on yield, WUE of tomato under NV polyhouse : Seven treatments were taken for this study and they were T1 (0.8 E T + 100% RDF), T2 (1.0 ET +100% RDF),T3 (0.8ET+ 125%RDF),T4 (1.0 ET +125% RDF), T5 (0.8 ET +150% RDF), T6 (1.0 ET +150% RDF) and T7 (Conventional irrigation + Conv. Fertilizer application). The highest yield was found to be 115.7 t/ha for T6 followed by 111.5 t/ha for T5. There is no significant yield difference between T5 and T6 but in case of T5 there is added advantage of 20% of water saving. There is no significant effect of fertilizer dose at 100% RDF (T1 & T2) and 125%RDF (T3 & T4) on productivity but at 150%RDF (T6) there is significant difference between T6 and T1, T2 & T3. So it can be concluded the effect of fertilizer dose is more significant than volume of water.

1.6.3 Effect of drip irrigation and Plastic mulch on yield, WUE of cauliflower:The highest yield was observed in the treatment drip at 1.0 ET with mulch (Ts) which was significantly superior to all other treatments. However water productivity was highest for 0.6 ET with mulch (T[) followed by 0.8 ET with mulch (T3) at 0.37and 0.35 Kg/litre of water. Mulches have effected moderation of soil temperature across all treatments. Soil temperature was increased by an average degree in month January and February while there was a reduction on around 2 degree in March.


1.6.4 Study on Crop water requirement through drip irrigation and Fertigation in Okra : The highest yield was observed at drip 0.8 ET +80% Fertigation for Okra in comparison to other treatments including conventional method of irrigation (Furrow) and fertilizer application (Basal). The yield was found to be average 13 t/ha which is higher than 10.6 t/ha, which was found for conventional method.

1.6.5 Effect of drip irrigation and black plastic mulch on yield, WUE of potato:The highest yield was observed at drip irrigation of 0.8 ET with mulch (T3) followed by drip irrigation at 1 ET with Mulch (T5). The highest yield was found to be 27.6 t/ha. The suitable mulch must be used with drip irrigation system for vegetable cultivation.

Devices (WEAAI): The project was implemented in collaboration with C- DAC, Kolkata for developing portal(www.bau-eagriculture.com) on agriculture, livestock and forestry, mobile based solution, interactive voice response system(IVRS) and learning content management system (LCMS) for agriculture, veterinary and forestry. Altogether 21,450,1453 and 843 visitors have been reported to visit the portal on agriculture, livestock and forestry. Similarly, 2561 persons have accessed the information through guided SMS. Over 500 CDs have been distribute to non-government organizations (NGOs) and progressive farmers. IVRS on agriculture domain in Hindi language has already been launched, the number of which is 0651 -2451500.

2.2 Access of Agricultural Information through Mobile in Jharkhand:Reaching every individual farmer has always been a major problem. The research was conducted with the specific objectives viz. to study the use of different mobile applications by the farmers, to assess the farmers' preference about different types of media viz. text, audio, image and video, to assess the quality of receptivity and applicability of different types of information received through different types of mobile applications, to ascertain association of mobile use and information application in agriculture with socio-personal and economic characteristics of respondents and to study the constraints associated with application of mobile in agricultural extension. The research design adopted for the present study was ex-post facto, since the

phenomenon had already taken place. The study was conducted in the purposively selected three districts one each from every agro- climatic zone of Jharkhand on the criteria of user base of IKSL i.e. Dumka in zone IV, Palamau in zone V and East Singhbhum in zone VI.

Findings2.2.1 Socio-personal and economic characteristics of the respondents: There

were no differences between IKSL and Non- IKSL categories of respondents in respect of independent variables viz. age, family education, social participation, extension contact, mass media and IT exposure, innovation proneness, attitude towards mobile, annual agricultural income, information needs, knowledge about mobile feature, level of aspiration about mobile and monthly expenditure on mobile service as depicted by their't' values.

2.2.2 Knowledge and use of mobile applications by respondents: Majority of the respondents had the knowledge of F.M. Radio (78.89%) which was followed by audio-video message (76.67%), camera (72.22%), text message (67.78%), memory card (66.67%), bluetooth (64.44%) and games (60.00%).About 16% respondents possessed the knowledge of QWERTY key-pad and micro USB port each. It was revealed that cent percent respondents used the call receiving feature. The majority of the respondents used call making (90.00%).

2.2.3 Respondents' preference about different types of media viz. text, audio, image and video: Media preference was image, audio, text and video with the frequency percentage of32.22,17.78,16.67 andO.OOrespectively.

2.2.4 Receptivity and applicability of different types of information received through different types of mobile applications: It is revealed that most understood information was disease control (3.56) which was followed by insect- pest and control (2.93) and market rate (2.73). It is further revealed that most applied information was disease control (3.20) which was followed by insect pest control (2.84) and varieties (2.48).

2.2.5 Association of socio-personal and economic characteristics of the respondents with dependent variable: Family education, social participation, extension contact, mass media and IT exposure and innovation proneness were found positively correlated with mobile use ,access of information,information application and satisfaction.


2.2.6 Relative contributions of socio socio-personal and economic characteristics of the respondents towards dependent variable: In case of mobile use four variables viz. innovation proneness, age, extension contact, level of aspiration about mobile which could explain the variability up to 23.6 %. Innovation proneness, age, extension contact, mass media and IT exposure, family education, annual agricultural income explain the variability towards information application index up to 60.7 percent. Only one variable i.e. level of information needs explained the variability towards information application up to 34.4 per cent in case of information application. Social participation alone explains the variability up to 23.6% in respect of satisfaction in getting information

2.2.7 Constraints associated with application of mobile in agricultural extension: The most important constraint was non - availability of mobile number of source (52.22%) which was followed by costly additional service (44.44 %), health hazard (42.22 %),non -availability of content in local language(42.22%),shyness due to more age (38.89 %), costly mobile set (35.56%) and problem in understanding voice SMS(31.11%).

3 AGRICULTURAL PHYSICS & METEOROLOGY3.1 Meteorological Research Scheme (Non-Plan)3.1.1 During 2013, altogether 1230.4 mm rainfall was received in 66 rainy days at

Kanke, Ranchi. Except January, November and December, rainfall wasreceived in almost all the months. Pre monsoonal rain (18.6 mm) received in May was insufficient for summer ploughing, however pre monsoonal rain received in June could be utilized for land preparation. Onset of monsoon was on 15th June and only 161.0 mm rain was received against 213.5 mm of its normal during the month. July and September too, received deficient rain (-57.1 and-58.0 % respectively), while August received almost normal rainfall (-6.3 %). This year's monsoon rainfall was deficient by -37.3 %) with little uneven distribution but no agricultural drought appeared. The monsoonal rain concentrated in 48 days against its normal of 55 days. October received record high rainfall of459.6 mm against its normal 80.3 mm due AILA and PHAILIN cyclonic storms.

3.1.2 Among the three agro climatic zones, deficient rain was received in zone IV (- 33.7%) and zone V (-24.3 %). However, zone VI received around normal rain


(+1.6 %). In Zone IV, July and September months were worst affected and received -52.6 and -43.9 percent deficient rain. September was also worst affected (-32.3 % deficient rain) in zone V. The zone VI received around 18.8 percent excess rain.

3.1.3 During the monsoon months, only 3 districts (Simdega, West Singhbhum, and Khunti) received more or less normal (< 4.0%) rain, while another 3 districts (Lohardaga, East Singhbhum and Saraikel) received 10-15% below normal rain. Eight districts received below 30% rain (i.e. Latehar -24.5%, Gumla - 25.3%, Dhanbad -21.8%, Bokaro -28.5%, Deoghar -20.7%, Godda -23.1%, Sahebganj -28.3% and Pakur -27.4%). No agricultural/meteorological droughts were observed in these districts. The rest 10 districts were worst affected and received rain between 30 52 % (Hazaribagh -30.4%, Ranchi - 34.9%, Dumka -37.6%, Palamu -40.5%, Koderma & Garhwa -43.8%, Jamtara 47.7%, Giridih 47.9%, Chatra 48.9% and Ramgarh -51.4%). These district faced moderate to severe drought and affected mainly the rice crop (transplanting/crop growth and yield).

3.1.4 The weekly distribution of rainfall at Kanke during the monsoon period (Met. week 23 44) was also not good, week numbers 29, 32, and 36 received very less or no rain, while eight weeks (No. 25,28,27,28,31,33,35, & 37) received less than 50% of their normals. However, due to its even distribution no moisture stress was noticed in upland but transplanting of paddy was affected due to insufficient rain. Other parameters like Relative humidity, Wind velocity, Sun shine hours and evaporation etc. were fluctuated in normal range.

3.1.5 More fluctuations in temperature was observed during 2013. Span ofminimum temperature has increased and below 5°C temperature has been recorded in altogether 23 days. Peak minimum temperature was 0.0°C on 9th of January followed by less than 1.1°C in 2 days in January (on 11th & 30th) and 2.2°C (on 12th & 29th) in January during the year. It has supported rabi crops specially wheat in the region. Similarly, span of maximum temperature has also increased and above 40°C temperature was recorded for 19 days with its peak of 43.2°C on 11th May.

performance of upland paddy crop, three varieties, 'Vandana', Biras Vikas Dhan 109 and Birsa Vikas Dhan 111 were grown in upland with 3 dates of sowing (Dl: 22nd June, D2: 2nd July and D3: 12th July) under the experiment “Crop weather relationship” during kharif, 2013.Crop duration of all three selected varieties ranged from 92 to 100 days. Vandana and Birsa vikas Dhan 111 showed similar growth pattern. Heat unit requirement of 12th June sown paddywas around 1491 followed by 2nd (1481) and 3rd (1474) date sown crops.

3.2.1.2 Initial soil temperature for one month at different depth (0-5 and 5-10 cm) showed that it was found highest for 12th July sown field from sowing to 12 DAS. During 20 30 DAS it was highest for 22nd June sown field. Soil moisture at 0-15 cm depth ranged from 11.7 - 20 % under all the three dates of sowing. Soil moisture increased with increase in soil depth. Average soil moisture was found highest for 12th July sown field except at 30, 75 and 90 DAS and was lowest at the time of sowing to germination in 12 July sown fields. Soil moisture % at different depth under different sowing dates showed that it was always around the soil moisture retention at field capacity at each stage.

3.2.1.3 Crop sown on 2nd July exposed to comparatively higher average air temperature at every phenological stage of crop growth. 12th July sown crops received highest amount (954.3 mm) of rainfall during entire cropping duration but no rain received during vegetative to flowering stage. Lowest rainfall (558.6 mm) received by 22nd June sown crops with no rain at the time of milking to grain filling stage. No rain received at the time of flowering to milking stage for 2nd July sown crops. Crop sown on 22th June experienced relatively higher relative humidity at all stages except from sowing to germination.

3.2.1.4 Among the three dates of sowing, paddy yield of 2nd date (2nd July) was found highest (8.59 q/ha) followed by 1st (22nd June) date (7.54 q/ha) with no significant difference. Among the varieties, performance of Vandana was very good and yielded highest (9.67q/ha). High rainfall at vegetative stage and uneven distribution of rainfall followed by dry spells at reproductive stages, all varieties sown under different dates, yielded very low as compared to their potential yield (30-35 q/ha). Reduction in yield was mainly due to stunted growth of paddy and formation of chaffy grains.

3.2.1.5 All the three paddy varieties were affected by the Brown spot disease due to higher temperature associated with high RH (RHI86-88% & RHII68-79 %) at

These hindi bulletins covered on time advisories for agriculture (land preparation, soil and crop management, disease and pest management, selection of crops and varieties and their management etc.) and allied activities based on the likelihood of weather condition. During Kharif (June October), 2013 centre received 41 weather forecast from IMD and 18 Agromet Advisory bulletins were prepared and disseminated to the farmers through Mass media, District Agriculture office and personal contact.Agromet Advisory Service (IMD, MoES), RanchiAMFU, Ranchi covers 12 districts of Jharkhand. 6 districts of Zone IV (Ranchi, Khunti, Bokaro, Hazaribag, Ramgarh and Chatra) and 6 districts of Zone V ( Gumla, Simdega, Lohardagga, Palamau, Garhwa and Latehar). In Kharif, 2013 the number of Agro-advisory bulletins issued were 41. Bulletins issued bi-weekly in Hindi and English and simultaneously uploaded in websites of IMD, ICAR, BAU and SAMETI. SMS advisories were also sent to the registered farmers through farmer's portalDuring Kharif, 2013 maximum relative humidity forecast was found to be most accurate ie, 98 per cent followed by cloud cover forecast (90 %), minimum relative humidity (85 %), minimum temperature (67%), wind direction (66%), maximum temperature (56%) and least in the case of rain forecast (47%). Though, the rain forecast in kharif season was nearly fifty per cent accurate, but the forecast of Phalin, a cyclone hit the coastal region of Orissa on 12th October, 2013, was most accurate.FASAL (Forecasting Agricultural output using Space, Agrometeorology and Land based resources)The rice production in the state of Jharkhand, in Kharif 2013-14, was predicted to be 30.36 Lakh tones with a coverage of 9.07 Lakh hacteres as FI forecast while the final (F2) forecast was of 38.81 Lakh tones with a total coverage of 12.397 Lakh hactares. The final (F2) forecast was found very close to the


reported (state govt.) production o f32.99 Lakh tones with a coverage of 12.25 Lakh hectares. The forecasts were made for all the 24 districts of Jharkhand

3.4.2 The wheat production in the state of Jharkhand, in rabi 2013-14, was predicted(F3) to be 6.8 lakh tones out of the total coverage of 1.6 Lakh hectares with an average production of 4.16 t ha-1. The reported (state govt.) production of wheat, in rabi 2013-14, was 3.47 Lakh tones with a coverage of 1.73 Lakh hectares. DSSAT Crop simulation models CERES Rice 4.5 and CERES Wheat 4.5 are being used.

3.5 Lysimeteric experiment (IMD)Total loss of water through Evapotranspiration (ET) recorded for Urd crop (var. Uttata), sown on 26.07.2013 was 137.0 mm. Its maximum rate (2.0 mm/day) was recorded in 37th met. Weeks at flowering stage, while minimum 0.9 mm/day was in 31st week at initial growth stage. Poor grain yield (1.75 q/ha in tank and 5.5 q/ha in field) was recorded due to late sowing and weed problem.

5 ENTOMOLOGY5.1 KHARIF5.1.1 Rice Entomology5.1.1.1 Gall midge screening trial: Out of 172 entries of rice screened against gall

midge under different trials (GMBT, GMS and GMSS), 23 entries were foundto be free from gall midge infestation. They were Kavya, W-1263, ARC-6605, Dukong-1, Madhuri L-9, BG-380-2, MR-1523, Abhaya, INRC-021, Aganni, CORG-11, CORG-15, CORG-24, CORG-30, CORG-31, CR-2698, CR-2642- 41, KNM-113, CAUR-1, CAUS-1, Manipur Local, WR-11-4-1 and Suraksha. Highest incidence of gall midge ranging from 30 to 45 per cent silver shoot as well as 50-90 per cent hill infestation were recorded in the case of TN-1 (SC).

5.1.1.2 Multiple pest resistant screening trial (MRST) : Out of 30 entries of rice tested, only six entries viz., W-1263, PTB-33, DRRH-2, Suraksha, RP-4918- 221(S) and PP-4918-228 emerged as promising against yellow stemborer and gall midge (biotype 3). TN-1 (SC) received the highest incidence of gall midge (56.43% SS), yellow stemborer (26.5% DH) and 8.93% white earheads.

5.1.1.3 Effect of planting dates on pest incidence of rice (EPDP) : Gallmidge, yellow stemborer, hispa leaf folder, and GLH were categorised as the major insect pests. It was found that earlier was the planting, lesser was the intensity of the pest incidence. As such, pest incidence, in general, was found in descending order of. Early planting > normal planting >Late planting. Quantum of grain yield also varied almost in similar trends indicating 40.60,


36.40 and 31.79 q/ha, respectively in case of early, normal and late planted crop of rice (Var Sahbhagi).

5.1.1.4 Insecticide evaluation trial (IET) : Field bio-efficacy of some newer molecules of the insecticides were tested. Sole application of three insecticides and their tank mix application with the wetting agent (surfectant) viz., Ek Boond @ 200 ml/ha were taken as separate treatments as foliar sprays, applied at 15,35,55 and 95 DAT (days after transplanting). YSB, gall midge GLH, leaf folder and hispa were the prevailing insect pest species. All the three newer molecules of the test insecticides viz. Rynaxypyr 20 EC (Coragen) @150 ml/ha, acephate 95 SG @ 526 g/ha and dinotefuran 20 SG (Token) @ 200 g/ha alongwith their tank mix application with the wetting agent (Ek Boond @ 200 ml/ha) as foliar sprays, applied 4 times, at 15,35,55 and 95 DAT proved to be significantly more effective against almost all the insect pest fauna as compared to their sole application. Application of granules of carbofuran 3 G @30 kg/ha at 15 DAT, followed by three need based foliar spray at 35,55 and 95 DAT with monocrotophos 36 SL @ 1.5 lit./ha also proved very effective against the insect pests species, resulted higher grain yield (38. q/ha). Foliar spray of Rynaxypyr 20 EC (Coragen) @150 ml/ha alongwith the wetting agent (Ek Boond @ 200 ml/ha) showed the best performance against the pest fauna, resulting higher grain yield (39.20 q/ha). The highest Incidence of the prevailing pest fauna with the lowest yield o f24.36 q/ha was obtained in case of untreated rice crop.

5.1.1.5 Pesticide compatibility trial (PCT) : Tank mix application of certain insecticides and fungicides were tested for their compatibility of bio-efficacy against the prevailing insect pests and diseases of rice (var. IR-64). It was found that pesticide combinations comprising of the combination product, viz., flubendamide 4% + buprofezin 20% SC alongwith tank mix application either of hexaconazole (Contaf Plus) or tricyclazole 75 WP (Baan) as well as trizophos 40 EC alongwith either of hexaconazole or tricyclazole proved to be highly compatible and effective against the pests and diseases viz., YSB, hispa, GLH, leaf folder, brown spot and blast diseases resulted higher grain yields of 54.97 55. 73 q/ha and 46.37 q/ha, respectively, as against the lowest yield of 34.86 q/ha obtained from the untreated plots. The tank mix application of the combination of the insecticides and the fungicides did not exhibit the toxic effects at all on the cop plants as well. As such, the tank mix combinations were found to be compatible in managing both the insect pests and diseases of rice.


5.1.1.6 IRCP: Influence of rice cultivation system on pest incidence : Stem borer, gall midge, leaf folder, hispa and green leaf hopper incidence was observed.

9. SOIL SCIENCE & AGRIL. CHEMISTRY9 .1 SOIL CHEMISTRY9 .1 .1 Permanent manurial trial (PMT Non-Plan)

The experiment with maize-wheat cropping sequence is being conducted for the last 57 years (1956-57 to 2013-14) with 14 treatments with the main


objective to study effect of continuous application of manures, lime and fertilizers on the crop productivity and soil fertility status of an acid soil.Lime application along with balanced NPK recorded highest yield over the years as well as during the year under report. Application of FYM at around 22 tones/ha/crop can support grain yield of 34.8 q/ha for wheat in maize-wheat cropping sequence. Highest grain yield of 47.5 q/ha was recorded for the treatment Lime +NPK and was statistically at par with treatments integrated use of FYM (11.0 t/ha) with chemical fertilizers were followed. Highest SYI of0.41, 0.26 and 0.36 was observed for inorganic, organic and integrated series, respectively. Maximum reduction in pH from 5.5 to 3.47 was recorded in treatments where N alone was applied from last 57 years. High build up of P as per the level of application of P was recorded for the treatments where P fertilizer application was practiced. Decline in available K was noticed for all the treatments. Perusal of grain yield data of maize during the year 2013-14 revealed that highest grain yield of 40.8 , 35.4 and 37.2 q/ha in integrated, organic and inorganic series respectively. Among different treatment combination in integrated series it was observed that substitution of nitrogen through FYM up to 50 % sustains higher grain yield of crops as well as maintains fertility status of soil. Highest Sustainable Yield Index (SYI) of 0.54,0.35 and 0.45 was observed for inorganic, organic and integrated series, respectively. Maximum reduction in pH from 5.5 to 3.83 was recorded in treatments where N alone was applied. In general higher organic carbon content in post harvest soil samples was recorded for all the treatments. Organic carbon variation among different treatments was 0.50 - 0.80 and 0.85-1.03 % for inorganic and integrated series respectively. Application of FYM alone @ 22 t/ha per crop increased organic carbon content from 0.52 % to 0.97 % in 57 years

9.1.2 Long term fertilizer experiment (LTFE-ICAR 1972-73 to 2013-14)The experiment was initiated in 1972 at Ranchi as one of the centre of All India Coordinated Research Project on an acidic red loam soil with ten treatments replicated four times. The experiment was started with soybean based three crop rotations (soybean potato wheat, upto 1980; soybean toria wheat upto 1985 and thereafter soybean wheat cropping sequence. The treatments were 50% NPK+W (Tj), 100%NPK+W(T2), 150%NPK+W(T3), 100%NPK+HW (T4), 100% NPK+Lime+W (T5), 100% NP+W (T6), 100% N+W(T7), 100% NPK+FYM+W(T8), 100% N(S)PK+W(T9) and Control (T10). Superimposition were introduced in three treatments 100% N+W, 100%NP+W and 100%


N(S)PK+W in Kharif 2002-0?! with application of Lime and FYM and another changes were introduced in treatment 150% NPK+W in Kharif 2005 with two levels of FYM i.e. 5.0 ton and 10.0 tons/ha FYM application in replication No.III. Highest grain yield of wheat (37.7 q ha'1) was recorded in the treatment receiving recommended dose of fertilizers to both the crops @ 25:30:40 and 120:30:40 for soybean and wheat, respectively and FYM @ 10 t/ha in kharif only, followed by 34.51 q ha'1 for the treatment receiving 150 % NPK and there was no significant difference between the two treatments. Continuous application of 150 % NPK to both the crops recorded significantly higher grain yield of wheat than both optimal and sub-optimal dose of NPK and the increase was 19% as compared to recommended fertilizer practice. In superimposed treatments, application of either lime or FYM resulted in increase in grain yield ofwheat and the average increase was 23.1-32.1,142-483 and 80-112 in 100 % NP, 100 % N and 100 % N (S) PK treatments, respectively as compared to their respective original ones. FYM was found to be superior to lime for first two treatments and lime had an edge over FYM for the third superimposed treatment(100 %N(S)PK).Highest grain yield of 19.4 q ha'1 was recorded for the treatment where FYM was applied along with NPK fertilizers, followed by 17.2 q/ha for the treatment where lime was applied along with NPK fertilizers since 1972. There was no significant difference in grain yield of soybean due to application of FYM/lime along with balanced NPK fertilizer during the year under report.Decline in available K content of soil was noticed in almost all the treatments as compared to their initial values. Build up of available sulphur in the treatment 100 % N(S) PK was noticed.

9.1.3 Effect of potassium application on yield of vegetable crops under farmer's field (IPI, Switzerland): Effect of K application on yield of vegetable crops viz., cauliflower, tomato, brinjal, french bean, cucumber, bitter gourd, green pea and potato on farmers' field were carried. The results of the experiments revealed that application of 150 % K in two equal splits along with recommended N & P resulted in higher economic yield of the crops. Biochemical analysis of vegetables for various parameters like carbohydrate, TSS, phenol, lycopene and ascorbic acid content were also influenced by application of potassium in different crops and had a beneficial impact on the above parameters. Nutrients concentration of brinjal on dry weight basis for N, P, K and S varied from 1.33 to 1.43,0.24 to 0.34,2.13 to 2.91 and 0.53 to 0.61


per cent, respectively. Twelve trials were carried out in the different fanners field under IPI Proj ect consisting three blocks and 12 farmers to see the effect of K application of the yield vegetables crops. Result showed that application of K @ 150 % of recommended doze for different crops in two split gave the highest crop yield as well as quality of the produce.

9.1.4 Long term system evaluation of ecological intensification management and farmers' fertilization practices (IPNI) : Maximum grain yield (31.37 q/ha) and straw (47.01 q/ha) was found with the application of NPK (130:70:60) and this treatment recorded 37.0 % higher yield over FFP. Nutrient concentration and total nutrient uptake varied with the treatments. In post harvest soil available N declined and P was increased from their respective initial values. Analysis of post harvest soil samples for various forms of K viz., 1 NHNOj extractable K, Exchangeable K and Non-exchangeable K were also influenced by the nutrient management practices and varied from 633 to 1054, 93 to 196 and 534 to 848 kg ha1 , respectively. Effect of different rate and timings of N application in wheat under maize-wheat cropping system, Maximum grain yield of wheat (38.42 q/ha) and straw yield (52.31 q/ha) was recorded with the application of N @150 kg/ha in three splits and on the basis of L.C.C. grain yield was 37.79 q/ha followed by two splits (30.08 q/ha). Total N, P, K and S uptake ranged from 10.7 to 65.4 kg/ha 2.1 to 14.4 kg/ha, 12.3 to 72.2 kg/ha and 0.9 to 5.75 kg/ha, respectively. Percent increase in yield of the system was highest with the application of 240 and 150 kg N/ha in maize and wheat, respectively. Post harvest soil for available nutrients N, P, K and S varied with the treatments.

9.1.5 AICRP on micronutrient : Impact of Boron and Zinc in wheat with 4 levels of Boron (0,1.0,1.5 and 1.0 kg/ha +2 foliar spray o f200 ppm concentration) and Zinc (0, 5 , 10, 5 kg ha'1 + 2 foliar application (0.5 % of Zn S04 2H20) was studied at tillering and before flowering stage. Grain yield of wheat was significantly affected with application of Boron. Maximum yield was recorded39.79 q ha'1 with application of 1.5 kg ha'1 boron, while 1.0 kg ha'1 boron with foliar application of (0.2%) boron showed at par yield (38.16 q ha'1) to application of 1.5 kg/ha. Impact of Zinc application and its interaction with boron showed none significant effect on grain yield of wheat. Application of Boron in rice observed significant response on rice yield and also biological yield of rice, while its response on straw was found statistically non significant. On the other hand Zinc application in rice showed non significant result on yield


of rice when grown in red and lateritic soil. Application of Zn observed significant response on Zn content in rice plant at tillering stage, while at pre flowering stage its significant response was observe only in Zn content of upper leaf. Application of B observed significant response on content of Zn in rice plant at tillering stage and also in different part of rice plant (Stem, Lower leaf and Upper leaf) at pre flowering stage. Impact of Zn application was statistically significant on content of Zn in different part of rice plant at panicle initiation stage. While application of B at this stage only showed significant response on content of B in upper leaf, middle leaf and stem of rice plant. More than 50% soils found deficient in B, while Zn deficiency was observed only in about 10 % of soil. Zn, Cu, Fe and Mn fertility status found above the critical limit (Zn, Cu, Fe and Mn respectively 0.5, 0.2, 4.5 and 2.0 mgkg) in both the delineated district of Jharkhand.

9.1.6 AICRP on soil test based fertilizer recommendation for targeted yield in central part of Jharkhand (STCR Ad-hoc Project): Potato was taken as test crop under field conditions for development of targeted equation by developing soil fertility gradient viz., Low (L0), Medium (LJ and high (L2). Mean tuber yield of potato during the year 2012-13 varied from 87 for (L0) to 100 q/ha (L2) and variation in soil fertility status was also observed. Available nutrient status for N, P and K varied from 205 to 267 kg N/ha, 16 to 24 kg P20 5/ha and 239 to 311 kg KjO/ha and higher values were recorded in L2. It was observed that application of 100 % recommended NPK+ 12.5 t/ha of compost is equally or more beneficial than 200 % recommended NPK without compost application.

9.1.7 Effect of 'Urea Pastilles' on crop productivity and N use efficiency in some soils of India: Urea pastilles are large granule sized urea containing same amount of N as compared to prilled urea available in the market. Different levels of nitrogen were applied to the wheat crop through prilled and pastilles urea alone or in combination with compost to compare their efficiency and soil fertility. Results revealed that urea pastilles has shown better effect on yield than prilled but statistically not significant. Nitrogen application through Prilled urea @120 kg ha'1 or Urea pestilles @ 90 kg ha'1 was found at par with each other in case of grain yield of maize crop. 120 kg/ha N application gave significantly higher yield as compared to the treatment absolute control,control (-N) and 60 kg N/ha, irrespective of pastilles and prilled urea Similar trend has been observed in the case of N, P & K uptake. NH4-N was found high in case of 120 kg N alone or with FYM (6 t/ha). NH4-N was present in the soil from 5-60


DAS and further more where 120 kg N was applied as urea pastilles. Nitrogen (NO3-N) remain higher till the maturity of crop in case of 120 kg N applied as Urea pastilles. N 03-N, total N, NH4-N all were higher in case of application of urea pastilles @ 120 kg N followed by Prilled urea.

9.1.8 Long term system evaluation of ecological intensification managementand farmers fertilization practice in maize-wheat cropping system : Thehighest grain and straw yield of Maize (58.78 and 64.5 q/ha) was obtained with the application of NPK (180:90:100) followed by FFP (14.6 and 18.7 q/ha). The NPK treatment recorded 302 % higher yield over FFP. The total nutrients uptake (N, P, K and S) were significantly higher with the application of NPK followed by FFP.

9.1.8.1 Effect of different rate and timings of nitrogen application in maize- wheat cropping system: The application of N in Maize @160 kg/ha in 3 splits on the basis of LCC recorded the yield (64.8.0 q//ha) and was at par with the application of N @240 kg/ha. Higher nutrient uptake by crop was recorded with increasing levels of nitrogen application. The maximum nutrient uptake was found with the application of nitrogen @240 kg/ha as compared to other treatments.

9.1.8.2 Omission plot/ quefts' calibration in maize- wheat cropping system: In theon-going omission plot experiment, during the following maize season, the ample NPK and the omission plots were equally divided into two smaller plots and residues of the previous wheat crop was retained in one plot while residues were completely removed from the other plot. Yield of maize in the ample NPK (250:120:120) plots, with and without residues, were 69.2 and 67.6 q/ha, respectively. Where the SSNM treatments (200:90:100) gave highest yield (72.4 q/ha) The lowest yield of maize (2.8 q/ha) was obtained in the N omission plot where wheat residues were not retained while the yield was slightly higher (2.90 q/ha) in the N omission plot with residues retained. This might be due to higher mineralization of N in the plot with retained wheat residues. Reduction in yield of the system followed the order N (84.8 %) < K (42.4 %) < P (32.1 %).on the basis of NPK.

9.1.8.3 IPNI (CIMMYT Funded Project) Assessment of agronomic and economic benefits of fertilizer use in maize production system under variable farm size, climate and soil fertility condition in Eastern India: Soil sample were collected from two different block (Sahebganj and Mandarow). In the


Sahebganj block three villages were selected Lai Bathani,Krishna Prasad and Mahadevganj and in Mandarow block Gatiyari, Mathadih and Paharpur. The farmers of Sahebganj block were resource reach and whereas the farmers of Mandaro, Darisai and Giridih block were resource poor. The fertility status of all the blocks except Sahebganj was found low to medium status . Trials on maize were carried out in Sahebganj, Giridih, Darisai (Ghatsila) and Mandrow block, comprising three treatments (FFP's, State recommendation and Nutrient Expert ).The dose of fertilizers were fixed after running the software and it varied from location to location. Whereas the dose of fertilizer as per state recommendation for maize was 120:60:40. Results showed that the highest grain yield of maize (84.0q/ha1) was obtained with the application of fertilizer (150:64:113 kg/ha) on the basis of Nutrient Expert (NE) in Sahebganj. (Alakhdev paswan, Village Krishna Prasad ). In Giridih highest grain yield (52q/ha1) of maize was obtained with the application of 160:60:70kg/ha(NPK.) as per NE. The results showed by the trials stated that the application of fertilizer on the basis of Nutrient Experts is suitable however further validation trials are required for strengthening the results.

9.1.9 Soil testing (Non Plan) :Duringtheyear2013-14altogether4853 soilsamples of the farmers field were received in the soil testing laboratory of the department during 2013-14. These samples were from Ranchi, Gumla, Khunti, Ramgarh, Deogarh, Jamtara, Chaibassa, Simdega, Chatra, Hazaribagh, Borkaro , Singhbhum (E) & Singhbhum (W) districts of the state. Analysis of the soil samples revealed that on an average 48.6% samples were in low organic carbon status. Where as 23.5 % and 27.9 % samples were medium and high in organic carbon status. In case of available phosphorus 52.6 % samples were found to be low in available phosphorus status, 49.1 % samples were rated in low potassium status. Rest of the samples was medium to high in potassium status. Soil reaction (pH) ranged from 4.3 to 7.1. Soil test indicated the need of N, P and K nutrient in soil through inorganic, organic sources and biofertilizer for sustaining higher productivity of crops. Application of lime is strongly recommended to correct the soil acidity problems in upland soil.

9.2 SOIL MICROBIOLOGY9.2.1 Recycling of crop wastes (in situ) permanent experiment (Non Plan): Long

term experiment on “In situ crop residue incorporation” for last 21 years with groundnut wheat cropping system revealed that 25-50 % fertilizer N can be

2 AQUACULTURE2.1 Feed management to increase the survivability of baby fish : Generally in

rural areas the survivability from spawn (72 hrs old) to fry (15-20 days old) is very poor due to several reasons. The lack of good quality feed (balanced feed) is one of the important factors. The rice bran and mustard oil cake is the common feed used for rearing the spawn to fry. An experiment was conducted with little modification of the feed. A small quantity of mustard oil was mixed with the feed and it increased the survivability.It has been observed that Besan and mustard oil mixed in the feed of fish spawn has increased the survivability . Since the oil is floating on the water so feed mixed with oil had floated for more time than normal feed so it has been consumed better way. The oil is used for killing the insects in fish pond. The use of mustard oil daily in the feed might have decreased the insect population regularly. The finding needs further revalidation.

2.2 Developing sustainable farming system models for prioritized microwatersheds in rainfed areas in Jharkhand. (NAIP-Completed)The project had been implemented in 32 villages covering 2588 households of two disadvantaged district of Dumka and Jamtara from 2007-2014.On the basis of the interventions, some models had been found suitable for different categories of farmers. For landless (land holding <0.0lha.), the livestock rearing was found very suitable, a nucleus family (common in tribal) can earn practicing the same an additional income of Rs. 25,150/yr. Similarly, the marginal (land holding 0.01-1 .Oha.) and small farmers (land holding 1-2 ha) can adopt rice/lac based farming system and earn an additional income of Rs. 34,744/yr and Rs 59,806/yr, respectively. The impact study of the project revealed that income had been increased from 24,446 to Rs.73,684 in 6 years in NAIP villages whereas it is still stagnated at Rs. 23,471 in Non NAIP village. The farmers are now making more expenditure towards education for their children and purchase of household items from the additional income.

VETERINARY PATHOLOGYExploration on mechanism of toxicity of chemotherapeutic drugs on non tumerous normal cells of the rats during cancer therapy is being conducted which may be helpful in getting rid of the problem of adverse side effects of cancer therapy on body.Proliferative aggressiveness determines the diagnostic, prognostic & therapeutic decisions. Proliferative speed (Mean Cycle time) & fractions are two major determinants of rates of proliferation of tumour. Mitotic figures are classical parameter to assess the rate of proliferation of tumour but it doesn't distinguish between proliferative speed and fraction. Attempt is being made to assess these parameters by blocking the mitosis between two biopsies or aspirations with microtubules blocking agent like colchicine

1 BASIC SCIENCE & HUMANITIES1.1 A ssessment of Production and Sales of Mahua Produce In Ranchi District:

Out of three weekly markets studied Urghuttu market is observed as rich in trade/business of Mahua products. The social structure of respondent is found from 04 to 12 members, and it is also noted that children & women are involved in collection of Mahua flower/seed. Mahua is widely collected across all of the studied villages for which villagers spend on an average of 15-20 days in summer season. During this period they collect an average of 70-90 kg of Mahua flower and 10-15 kg of Mahua seed per tree/year. Studies indicate that a household benefited from Maua between Rs 1500-3000 per year in a season. Seed selling trend has increased & oil consumption trend has decreased due to extraction of oil problem and availability of low price oil in local market. In the studied village maximum No. of Mahua tree is found in Geswe and minimum in Kulhi village. All three markets (Urghuttu, Ormanjhi, Mandar) surveyed, show similar patterns of marketing channel, and part of livelihood of villagers of nine villages (Surid, Geswe, Salhan, Kuchu, Kulhi, Gurhu, Naro, Kanijari, Mahuajari) are dependent upon Mahua trade. Collectors visit the weekly market for selling their produce otherwise middlemen buy their produce from village.

2 FOREST BIOLOGY & TREE IMPROVEMENT2.1 Observation of food & food habit of leaf folder (Parotis marginata), an

insect pest of devil tree (Alstonia scholaris) in field condition : The major target area of leaf folder was found to be the apical portion of the Alstonia shoot. The larvae were observed to live in the shelter created by folding the leaves and feed within it by scraping the chlorophyll containing tissues in between the upper and lower epidermis skeletonizing the leaf. Sometimes it was noticed that the larvae webbed two or three leaves together and feed between them and so they are also called leaf Webber. The binding of leaflets together by the silky secretion facilitates the larvae settle inside comfortably and devour the leaf content. Larvae were collected by opening of the leaf folds or webs and it was observed that only one larva wash there in each leaf fold or leaf web. Besides the presence of an array of small and blackish faecal matter in the infested leaf is the symptom of leaf webber infestation. In severe case of infestation, the dried skeletonized leaves give the burnt appearance.

D. COLLEGE OF BIOTECHNOLOGY1. Genomics

On comparison of the SCAR nucleotide sequence of fragment A (NCBI accession no. KC020190) and fragment C (NCBI accession no. KC020192) two SNPs were discovered. The comparison of the sequences showed that the change at the 3rd base of the triplet codon made one mutation redundant as both the codons coded for alanine. The other SNP was also on the 3rd base of the triplet codon. This changed the amino acid leucine to valine. These differ by a single methyl group and are both aliphatic, hydrophobic amino acids. Both sequences bear >95% homology to the Aspartame Glutame Racemase superfamily domain which is part of the enzyme hydantoin racemase of Ralstonia pickettii (a gram-negative, rod shaped proteobacteria and an oligotroph with the ability to survive in low nutrient environment). FRAGMENT B (NCBI ACCESSION NO. KC020191) showed 97% homology at nucleotide level to the HATPase c superfamily domain which is part of the NarQ receptor protein, an important protein of the NAR operon of prokaryotes involved in uptake and fixing of nirogen. Several different bacterial and fungal endophytes were discovered in V L 149 and JWM 1 genottypes of finger millet. Partial 16S ribotyping shows they have the ability to promote growth, drought and halo tolerance, nematocidal properties, pathogen resistance, nitrogen fixing properties etc. In vitro nitrate reudtase activity performed on 25 different genotypes of finger millet showed that there wqas several fold increase in the activity after induction with the maximum value obtained for BM2.2. Proteomics2.1 Diversity analysis of Rhizobia in soils from the acidic regions of the state

Of Jharkhand : Studies on the genetic diversity of rhizobia from the acidic soils of the State Of Jharkhand are under progress. Various isolates from different crops are being currently studied, which include groundnut, Chickpea, Pigeon pea, Cowpea, Soybean, Black gram, Mungbean, Pea, Lentil, Berseem and Kulthi. All the isolates are characterized and authenticated by nodulation testing.

2.2 “Proteomic Analysis” of various Rhizobium isolates from various crops collected from the acidic soil regimes of the State Of Jharkhand : As perthe mandate of the centre, systematic analysis is being carried out at “Proteomic Level” in the laboratory for various Rhizobium isolates Of Jharkhand by utilizing highly sensitive “Two-Dimensional GelElectrophoresis (2-DE)” technique. Proteomic analysis of Rhizobium isolates of Black Gram


(Vigna mungo), Pea (Pisum sativum L.) and Green Gram (Vigna radiata L.) was carried out this year. Several important and “Unique” protein differences amongst the various Rhizobium isolates were documented, which are thought to impart selective tolerance to the Rhizobium isolates with respect to soil acidity.

2.3 Optimization of the parameters for obtaining high quality mass spectrophotometry data: Various parameters for obtaining high quality Mass Spectrophotometry (MALDI-TOF-TOF) data were optimized. The technique is to be used for “Peptide Mass Fingerprinting Analysis”, which will be employed for candidate gene identification.

2.4 Registration and documentation of novel strains of Rhizobium collected from acidic soil regimes of the state of Jharkhand : 16SrRNA “Ribotyping Analysis” of various isolates from various crops, such as Pigeonpea, Chickpea and Soybean respectively have been successfully performed, which were collected from various acidic soil regimes from the State Of Jharkhand. “Nucleotide Accessions” have been released by NCBI (NIH, USA) for acid- tolerant Rhizobium strains from pigeonpea with Accession Numbers, KF309195, KF309203 and KF309204 collected from soil pH 5.5,4.5 and 4.5 respectively. The details of the isolates are now available on http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. Work is currently in progress towards cataloging the various acid-tolerant isolates from other crops by utilizing the 16SrRNA ribotyping approach. The crops analysed so far include pigeonpea, chickpea, soybean, blackgram, pea, greengram and barseem (As per QRT recommendations) respectively.

2.5 “Mass Spectrophotometry (MALDI-TOF-TOF)” analysis followed by“Peptide Mass Fingerprinting Analysis” to identify the genes associated with the acid soil tolerance : After optimizing the parameters of the MS protocol, the MALDI-TOF-TOF data for one of the unique proteins expressed exculsively in the acidic soil regime, from BlackGram has already been obtained. The “High Confidence” data obtained through MS analysis reveals the identity of the protein as, “Chain A, Structure Of Periplasmic Binding Protein (Accession Number: gi|88192851, Molecular weight: 33,300Da and Isoelectric Point: 7.80 respectively). Work is now in progress to identify the proteins / genes from various other crops / isolates by utilizing the MS analysis. The data generated by the MS analysis would surely be able to shed light on the

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov


roles of the genes, which are thought to play a crucial role in imparting tolerance to the acidic soil regime.

FARM ADVISORY AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT SERVICES

The Scientists of different units of Birsa Agricultural University provide Farm Advisory Services to the farmers through personal contact, farm and home visits, correspondence and through telephone calls and support services like soil testing, treatment, sale of inputs and planting materials, disease diagnosis and vaccination of animals.

A. Weather Forecast and Agro-advisory• Weather forecast based Agromet Advisory Bulletins for all the 24

districts of Jharkhand were prepared twice a week and disseminated to the farmers through various means of mass communications and personal contacts.

• Altogether 6 farmers' awareness programmes on "Climate Change and Agriculture" were organized under AICRP on Agrometeorology (ICAR) in three tribal district Ranchi, Dumka and West Singhbhum. Two programmes were organized in each districts separately.

B. Soil Testing and Agro-advisoryAltogether 4853 soil samples of the farmers' field were received in the

soil testing laboratory of the department. These samples were from Ranchi, Gumla, Khunti, Ramgarh, Deogarh, Jamtara, Chaibasa, Simdega, Chatra, Hazaribagh, Borkaro, East Singhbhum and West Singhbhum districts of the state. The soil testing analysis services provided to farmers on FREE OF COST and recommendation of fertilizer application on the basis of soil test values were sent to concerned farmers for adoption in crop cultivation.

These soil samples were analyzed, the salient results are summarizedbelow:

Parameter % Low % Medium % HighOrgbanic carbon (%) 48.6 23.5 27.9Available P2O5 (kg/ha) 52.6 31.4 16.0Available K2O (kg/ha) 49.1 26.6 24.3Soil pH Range 4.3 to 7.1

Analysis of the soil samples revealed that on an average 48.6% samples were in low organic carbon status. Whereas 23.5% and 27.9% samples were medium and high in organic carbon status respectively. In case of available


phosphorus 52.6% samples were found to be low in available phosphorus status, 49.1 % samples were rated in low potassium status. Rest of the samples were medium to high in potassium status. Soil reaction (pH) ranged from 4.3 to 7.1. Soil test indicated the need of N, P and K nutrient in soil through inorganic, organic sources and biofertilizer for sustaining higher productivity of crops. Application of lime is strongly recommended to correct the soil acidity problems in upland soil.

KRISHI VIGYAN KENDRAS (KVKs)

KVKs are working towards reducing the time lag between generation of technology at the research institutions there location-specific and application to the farmer fields for increasing productivity production and profitability as well as for food and nutritional security.

Mandates of KVKs:• On-farm testing to identify the location specificity of agricultural technologies under various farming systems.• Frontline demonstrations of agricultural technologies to establish their production potentials in the farmers' fields.• Training of farmers and extension personnel to update their knowledge and skills in modern agricultural technologies.• Work as resource and knowledge centre of agricultural technologies for supporting initiatives of public, private and voluntary sectors for improving the agricultural economy of the district.• Produce and make available technological products like seed, planting material, bio agents, livestock breeds etc. to the farmers.• Organize extension activities to create awareness of improved agricultural technologies to facilitate fast diffusion and adoption of technologies in agriculture and allied sectors.

KVK, plays a vital role in facilitating application of agricultural technologies by the farmers. It is a unique scheme of ICAR oriented to serve the farmers by being the fountainhead of agricultural technologies at the district level. KVKs are the agricultural knowledge centres for farmers, farmwomen, and rural youth and extension functionaries. KVKs have been established in 23 districts of Jharkhand out of which 16 KVKs, namely, West Singhbhum, Palamu, Pakur, Lohardaga, Bokaro, Dumka, Giridih, Sahibganj, Dhanbad, Chatra, Garhwa, East Singhbhum, Jamtara, Latehar, Simdegaand Saraikela-Kharsawan, are under the administrative control of Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi and seven KVKs namely, Deoghar, Koderma, Hazaribagh, Ranchi, Gumla, Godda and Khunti are working under other agencies.

Agro-climatic zone-wise distribution of KVKs in JharkhandKVKs of Jharkhand are distributed under 3 agro-climatic zones spread

over twenty four districts. Highest number of KVKs (12) falls under Central and North Eastern Plateau followed by Western Plateau (8) and South-eastern Plateau (3). The details are as follows:

IARI-BAU Collaborative National Extension Project in Ranchi, Jharkhand

The IARI-BAU Collaborative Extension Project under the National Extension Programme of IARI, New Delhi is under operation since 2007-2008. The main objective of the project is to develop village-based model for market led- agriculture through appropriate technological interventions.

• Rice technologies transferred during Kharif-2013 : During Kharif 2013 demonstrations on rice were conducted in the adopted villages of Haldama and Gari Hotwar (Kanke block) and in Saher (Nagri block) of Ranchi district. It was recorded that PRH-10 gave better yield. The average yield recorded for PRH-10 was 54.00 q/ha and 51.00 q/ha for P-2511. The average yield of JD-13 was 25.25 q/ha only. The average yield of rice was low as farmers did not use the recommended dose of fertilizers.

• Wheat technologies transferred during Rabi 2013: During Rabi season 2013, wheat varieties such as HD-2967, HD-2851, HD-2733 and WR-544 were demonstrated in farmers' field at Gari Hotwar and Boreya villages (Kanke block) and Saher at Nagri block in Ranchi district. Among the four varieties of wheat, HD-2967 gave highest yield (42.15 q/ha average yield) followed by HD- 2733 (38.75 q/ha average yield).

• Technologies transferred related to other crops during Rabi 2013-14:Underthis programme 12 demonstrations of mustard were conducted covering 8.00 ha of land. There were 5 demonstrations on lentil (L-4076) in 5.00 ha of farmers' field. Among the two varieties of Mustard (Pusa Bold and Pusa Vijay) Pusa Bold gave better yield than Pusa Vijay. The average yield of Pusa Bold was19.30 q/ha while that of Pusa Vijay was 14.38 q/ha. It might be due to the fact that, Pusa Bold is recommended variety for all situations which matures in 140 days. It is bold seeded variety with 40% oil content.

• Integrated Farming System (IFS) for Enhancing Sustainable Rural Livelihood Security in Sahibganj and Pakur Districts of Jharkhand: The Project on "Integrated Farming System (IFS) for Enhancing Sustainable Rural Livelihood Security in Sahibganj and Pakur Districts of Jharkhand" has been implemented duringthe period 2009-13.

• Technology Transferred on Paddy during 2013-14 at Borio Cluster,Sahibganj: Duringthe project period (2013-14) a total of 4 improved varieties of paddy such as IR-64, Rajendra Mansuri, Swarna (MTU 7029) and Sahbhagi


were demonstrated in which 29 farmers participated. Altogether 7.00 ha of paddy area were covered during Kharif season. The yields (q/ha) were found to be very good (Rajendra Mansuri-47.80, Swarna (MTU 7029)-59.20 and Sahbhagi-38.50) except for IR-64 (40.50).

• Technology transferred on wheat during 2013-14 at Borio cluster, Sahibganj: It was found that, due to inadequate of irrigation facilities, farmers of this areas were not in a practice of growing wheat. A few farmers were growing local varieties of wheat. During the period 2013-14 wheat variety K-307 was demonstrated among farmers covering 2 villages. A total number of 56 farmers participated in the demonstrations on wheat. About 12.50 hectares of area was covered forthe demonstration. The yields recorded were average (20.00q/ha).

• Technology transferred on maize during 203-14 at Borio cluster, Sahibganj: During kharif season the tribal farmers (almost all) grow maize in their bariland. It is one of the major crop in upland. It was found that in the villages, farmers used traditional varieties of maize. Thus, during the project period an improved variety of maize variety- Suwan was demonstrated among the farmers in 2 villages. A total of 39 farmers participated in the demonstrations covering 5.00 hectares of upland area which gave very good yield (28.60q/ha).• Technology Transferred on Pigeon Pea during 2013-14 at Borio cluster, Sahibganj: It was also found that al most al I the farmers of these vi I lages, grew traditional varieties of pigeonpea in upland. Thus during the project period 2013-14, two improved varieties of pigeonpea such as Bahar and Birsa Arhar were transferred to the farmers of 2 villages. Altogether 35 farmers participated in the demonstrations which overed 4.00 hectares of upland. Yield of the crop ranged between 11-16 quintals per hectare. The farmers were motivated with the yield of pigeonpea.

BAU-DRMR Collaborative Extension ProgrammeUnder Tribal Sub-plan the State was selected by Directorate of Rapeseed and

Mustard Research (DRMR), Bharatpur to promote rapeseed and mustard production among tribal farmers which is important oilseed crop of the state. Tribal dominated villages under Namkum, Kanke and Nagri blocks of Ranchi district, Lohardaga, Kisko and Bhandra blocks of Lohardaga district, and Noramundi, Hatgamahria & Khutpani blocks of West Singhbhum district were adopted.


Project Activities• On-farm demonstration : Among different mustard varieties under demonstration Bharat Sarson-I gave the highest average yield of 13.3 q/ha followed by 12.35 q/ha and 11.80 q/ha in variety Bharat Sarson- II and Pusa Jaikisan respectively in Lohardaga district. The increase in yield over local check was 23.71 %, 33.3%, 51.83%, 58.33% and 69.71 % in variety Rajendra Suphalam,Shivani, Pusa Jaikisan, Bharat Sarson-ll and Bharat Sarson-I respectively.

• Creation of irrigation facilities is underway in the 'W' section (8 new ponds), LakeSouth section (renovation of pump house and establishment of pipe line including electrification) and in 'D' Block (one new pond including channel).

Weather during 2013-14During kharif 2013 the delayed onset of monsoon affected rice transplanting and delayed transplanting caused significant yield reduction in seed production crop grown during kharif season, moreover, the 'Phalline' cyclone during 13th and 14th Oct. 2013 had 90mm and 120mm rainfall along with high speed winds at 8.3 and 20.4 km/hr respectively further destroyed the standing/harvested crops which culminated not only in the yield reduction of kharif crops but also affected planting/sowing of rabi crops. Nevertheless, rain during Jan. 2014 coincided with the peak flowering period of Arhar and field pea crop which ultimately reflected in seed yield.

BAU Annual Report 2013-2014 FINANCE & ACCOUNTS

FINANCE & ACCOUNTS1. (i) Compared to previous years, Exchequer control over allotted fund and

expenditure incurred out of such fund have improved this year. This has been made possible by releasing funds to the units on the basis of demand for payment of salary and allowances.

(ii) Previously, the units used to delay in sending the schedules of GPF, CPF and GLI to concerned GPF section. After introduction of net payment system, amounts of GPF etc are now being credited to those accounts on the basis of deduction schedules. However, these are not being received regularly resulting in delay in posting and compilation of accounts.

2. The audit of accounts for the year 2006-07 by the Accountant General, Jharkhand has been completed and request letter for audit of account for the year 2007-08 has submitted to the Accountant General, Jharkhand. The annual accounts for the year 2009-10 to 2013 -14 are under compilation.
