Silent Features of the components implemented under

NHM in the District;

1. Vermicompost & Biodigester Units; For promoting organic farming in horitultural crops

construction of vermicompost unit or Bio digester unit has

gained importance in the farming community of the district.

With the available farm wastes farmers are going for production

of vermicompost. During 2009-10 215 Units have been

9

established throughout the district. During 2010-11 also

farmers have got assistance for construction of 55 Units under

NHM scheme.

2. Integrated Pest Management; For minimizing chemical usage in horticultural crop production,

Integrated Pest Management has gained lot of importance in the

district. By adopting Integrated Pest Management practices like

usage of Pheramone Traps for Mango fruit weevil, Red Palm

Weevil, Rhinocerous Beetle has been effectively contolled. Hence

inputs like Biofertilizers, Neem based chemicals are being widely

used by the farmers.

3. Onion Storage Units: As though Mandya district is predominantly a tradition area for

vegetable production now a days farmers are switching on to

Onion crop which is high income generating crop for the

farmers. Deparatment has given subsidy for Onion Storage

structure construction during the year 2010-11 under NHM.

Observations:-

(i) In Thoppanahalli Village, for the AEP for Mango no water is available

and farmers are bringing water from far away places by tankers on

payment basis.

(ii) The procedure being followed for storage of Rose Onion is not

scientific and cannot protect the produce in different climatic vagaries

and also for longer time.

Recommendations:-

(i) Availability of water source on the field to be ensured while selection of

farmers for AEP.

the soil, which provides the micro-nutrients deficient in the soil.

Following micro-nutrient deficiencies are found in the Hassan District is

as follows. 70%-79% of zinc deficiency recorded in the Malnad regions

like Alur, Sakaleshpur, Belur and part of Hassan talukas, and hence

distribution of ZnSo4 to the farmers of there talukas under National

Horticulture Mission is needful. Major Horticulture crops grown in these

areas are Ginger, Pepper, Banana, Potato, Mango, Sapota and Areca.

of Hassan is covered by red to brown sandy loams. In which crops are

extensively cultivated by applying organic and inorganic fertilizers. These

soils are neutral to slightly acidic with PH 5.9. Hence application of lime

is also taken up under INM. To increase the fertility status of soil

distribution of green manure seeds, organic manures Bio-fertilizers,

Micro-nutrients especially in the talukas like Arasikere,

Channarayapatna, Arakalagud and Holenarasipur.

Observations:-

(i) SHM has sanctioned one Plant Health Clinic, one disease forecasting unit, one leaf /

tissue analysis lab and the model nursery for medicinal/ aromatic plants to Agriculture

College, Hassan.

(ii) The Plant Health Clinic has been serving the farmers of the region to diagnose various

diseases and pests affecting horticulture crops and also suggesting remedial measures to

42

control the same. The college also conducting regular training programmes for farmers

for managing pests and diseases of horticulture crops in the region.

(iii) The model nursery for medicinal plants established under NHM has not produced any

planting material and maintenance of the nursery is very poor.

(iv) AEP for TC banana in village;- Doddachakonally needs to be supported with drip

irrigation under NMMI.

(v) A leaf tissue analysis lab established to the Planters Association and Sakleshpur has been

serving satisfactory with regard to analysis of micro nutrients, Ph values and soil analysis

etc.

Recommendations:-

(i) The activities sanctioned to the Agriculture College, Hassan need to be reviewed by the

DOH and measures to be taken to utilize infrastructure developed for disease forecast

unit leaf tissue analysis lab. It is suggested that the college in coordination with DOH

should work out the demand for planting material of medicinal plants and start

producing the material accordingly.

Observations:-

(i) Nurseries supported under NHM for vegetable seedlings production under protected

cultivation are functioning well and farmers are getting good income with the sale of

planting material. In most of the cases, the seedlings are raised on the basis of indents

from other farmers.

(ii) Small nurseries for production of black pepper planting material are functioning well. In

view of the demand, more such nurseries need to be supported .

56

(iii) The nursery for production for black pepper planting material functioning under the

control of DOH needs to be upgraded.

(iv) Shade net protected cultivation for Capsicum is showing encouraging results at

Linglapura village.

(v) Multi-purpose processing unit established at Katagale with the support of NHM for PHM

of Arecanut and Pepper has been found very useful and helps in reducing the labour cost

as well as improving the quality of produce with negligible post harvest losses.

(vi) Selection and procurement of planting material by the farmers themselves from the DOH

approved nurseries has shown better establishment of plants growth and minimum

mortality.

(vii) The cluster of about 480 Ha. lab at Talikare taluk developed under NHM, Area Expansion

Programme for mango has started giving production is about 25% of the area under crop.

Recommendations:-

(i) In view of huge expected production of mango in Tarikare taluk cluster, there is a need

to establish ripening chambers, pack houses as well as processing units.The action

needs to be initiated.

(ii) In view of the demand, more number of nurseries for production of black pepper

planting material need to be supported.

(iii) Multi-purpose processing needs to be supported for reducing the PH losses and

improvement of quality.

(iv) In view of field operations for horticulture crops, there is a need to examine the support

for tractors of less than 20 HP under horticulture mechanization.

YES.

Observations:-

(i) In case of Area Expansion for different crops, cluster approach is not being followed.

(ii) Rejuvenation of mango orchards has impressive effect on the productivity and

beneficiaries are happy. The rejuvenation has been taken up for orchards. There is a lot

of scope for its extension and need to be supported.

68

(iii) Ripening chamber for banana and mangoes is popular among beneficiaries and the

numbers of units need to be increased by following strictly the technical specifications

and under hygienic conditions.

(iv) At present, for mango ripening the charges being taken are on the higher side. The

Department of Horticulture may explore the possibility of reducing these charges to a

reasonable rate.

Recommendations:-

(i) In case of AEP, the cluster approach need to be followed as per NHM norms.

(ii) In view of increase in area expansion and rejuvenation, there is a need to have more

number of ripening chambers.

General Recommendations:-

(i) In area expension programmes, technical support and supervision need to be improved.

(ii) In AEP, cluster approach as per NHM norms need to be strictly followed.

(iii) In general, the nurseries supported under NHM producing vegetable seedlings are

producing quality material on demand from other farmers and needs to be encouraged.

(iv) There is a need to establish ripening chambers, pack houses for mango and banana

respectively in big clusters where production has started.

(v) In view of scope for rejuvenation for mango orchards, more importance should be given

to rejuvenation.

(vi) Bee keeping is found to be more beneficial because of enhancing the pollination in

increasing the yield of crops like guava, coconut, lime, papaya & vegetables.This needs

to be encouraged and training should be imparted.

(vii) There is a need to maintain the records of the activities of Plant Health Clinics.

(viii) Plant Health Clinic in the private sector should have technical person for analysis &

suggestions.

(ix) The model nursery supported for medicinal plant to Agriculture College, Hassan should

start production of planting material.

(x) The model nursery supported under NHM to Organic Farming Research Station,

Naganahalli for production of planting material should start production of material

immediately.

(xi) The plant health clinic sanctioned to Organic Farming Research Station, need to be

established as per norms for the benefit of farmers and this should be monitored by DOH.
