General Observations

JIT has recorded following observations on implementation of centrally sponsored

horticulture development programmes including drought package in the districts of Beed,

Jalna, Aurangabad, Ahmednagar and Pune during its visit from 27th May to 3rd

June,

2013.

1. Area expansion progrmame under fruits have gained momentum and the progress

in this regard is satisfactory as field functionaries are supervising and

recommending the package of practices to the farmers through regular visits in

few districts.

2. It is prudent to mention that there is a need to have large size community tanks to

save rain water for life saving irrigation of orchards.

3. The Deputy Director of Horticulture should provide all relevant documents to JIT

members during its visit which were not produced at the sites.

4. The visits of JIT to various districts were not effectively organized to avoid long

journey time.

5. It has been observed that display boards with NHM logo are not displayed at

NHM assisted sites. It is suggested that boards are to be placed with the detail

informations including crop / variety / component, name of beneficiaries, dated

and technical details of components.

6. In Beed district, wild bore‟s off and on attack damage the irrigation structures.

Farmers are facing difficulties in controlling the menace.

7. In many places, farmers are demanding small individual farm ponds to be used for

irrigating vegetable crops under protected cultivation

8. Farmers are also demanding to consider coloured Capsicum under high value

planting materials on par with roses and gerbera.

9. Farmers need to properly trained on pruning and training aspects of horticulture

crops.

10. While discussing with the Programme coordinator, KVK, Kharpudi, Jalna, it was

informed to undertake effective measures in protecting horticulture crops under

4

drought conditions in the region and also to undertake technology demonstration

in the farmers field.

11. The outcome of trials conducted at Mahatma Phule Agriculture University,

Rahuri in respect of high density rejuvenation of Guava need to be percolated in

the field level to benefit the farming community.

12. It is invariably noticed that the incidence of mildew in capsicum and dieback in

Dutch rose variety „Bordo‟ under protected cultivations is on increase and

suggested for immediate appropriate control measures. Farmers are using both

insecticides and fungicides in controlling the disease. Need based plant protection

campaign need to be organized at field by the development departments in

association with Agriculture Universities.

13. JIT noticed acute incidence of gummosis in sweet orange and cracking of bark in

mango and also suggested effective measures to control the disease incidence.

Farmers are pasting cracks with mud slurry but it needs to be pasted with copper

oxychloride or Bordeaux paste.

14. Under the protected cultivation of horticulture crops, the maintenance of

temperature and relative humidity is neither properly understood nor considered

as a critical parameters for quality produce. Quality of the produce is not

apparently attractive. Cluster of farmers and field level officials involving

protected cultivation needs training regularly by the experts.

15. While giving assistance for pack house, its effective usage for the said purpose

should be ensured.

16. Creation of water resources has been a major factor in transforming the economy

of the local people, NHM provides assistance for taking up water resource

development as a community based activity as well as on individual field, which

need to be linked with drip and sprinkler irrigation system.

5

Actionable Issues

1. Rejuvenation of senile orchards, particularly sweet orange, mango and guava needs to be

taken up on priority basis. Moreover, farmers need to be trained on technology and

support for procuring implements being used in rejuvenation.

2. Farmers availing assistance for micro irrigation need to be trained on fertigaition

scheduling and its application. Beside, a MOU needs to be signed with the firm for

ensuring technical and agronomical support and free post installation / maintenance of the

system for period of at least three years.

3. The Pack house for which assistance was given need to be put to an effective use.

4. The level of motivation and creation of awareness among farming community by the

development officials need to be improved.

5. The component of creation of farm pond under NHM has really given the sustenance of

livelihood to the farming community in all the districts affected by severe drought. This

needs more focus in progressive development of horticulture in the region.

6. The outcome of trials conducted at Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidhyapeeth (MPKV), Rahuri,

in case of High Density Guava, need to be percolated in the field level to benefit the

farming community.

7. Gummosis in sweet orange and Bark cracking in mango needs to be attended as effective

control measures.

8. The incidence of mildew in capsicum and dieback in Dutch rose variety Bordo under

protected cultivation needs to be controlled effectively.

9. Under the protected cultivation of horticulture crops, the maintenance of temperature and

relative humidity needs to be addressed properly.

10. Farmers are retaining the pseudostem after harvesting of Banana, this practice needs to be

technically evaluated by SAU‟S prior to recommendation.

11. In some cases, citrus bud union is kept below the ground level, which invites disease

problem, this practice needs to be avoided and farmers are to be trained properly

12. Boards with NHM logo needs to be displayed at the sites of beneficiary wherever,

financial support has been given.

Drip and Sprinkler system of irrigation have many advantages over traditional flow

system of irrigation. Since last 3-4 years demand for Micro irrigation is increasing every year.

Now every year on an average 2.50 lakh hectare area is coming under Micro Irrigation. For

which funds of Rs. 750 crores are required. However State is getting about 250 crore as central

assistance per year. Therefore there is lot of pending claims from 2009-10.

Because of scarcity situation in Maharasthra there has been lot of awareness among

farmers and all sectors of society about efficient use of available water resources. More

24

specifically it has been felt very much essential to bring all sugarcane area under drip irrigation.

The average area under sugarcane in Maharashtra is about 9.00 lakh hectares, so far 1.10 lakh

hectares has brought under drip irrigation, to cover remaining 7.90 lakh hectare under Micro

Irrigation approximately Rs. 5000 crores are required. All sugarcane area can brought under

Micro Irrigation in next 5 years for which Rs. 1000 crores central assistance is required every

year.

PUNE DISTRICT

Government of India has launched National Horticulture Mission (NHM) during the Xth

Plan with effect from Year 2005-06 for holistic development of Horticulture duly ensuring

horizontal & vertical linkages with the active participation of all stake-holders. The thrust of the

mission will be on area based regionally differentiated cluster approach for development of

horticulture crops, having comparative advantage.

As per the directives of the State Government a District Level Committee under the

chairmanship of District Collector has been constituted. The Committee meetings take place

regularly wherein the proposals received from field officers are thoroughly discussed &

recommended for approval.

Government of Maharashtra has identified clusters for area expansion of horticultural crops

wherein Pune District falls in Western Ghat Region (Cluster 2). It was decided in the District

Committee that crops of local economic importance. The area under crops like Grape, Banana and

Gauva had increased up to 2885 ha. from 2009-2013. Farm ponds (360) had constructed to ensure

life saving irrigation to horticultural crops. Farmers shifted towards green houses (130) and shade

net houses (163) for cultivation of vegetables and flowers. Under post harvest management, pack

house (89) were constructed to increase marketability of farm produce.

results.

2. Sugarcane baggas applied as mulch in sweet orange and pomegranate orchards has given

good results as JIT observed.

3. In Golatgaon farmers have not done mulching.

4. In Wahegaon area, shortage of water is so acute that farmers apply sewer water transported

from 35-40 KM away from the orchard site to save the plants.

5. Protected cultivation has been given more importance, which is good sign to produce more

vegetable / flowers in the district.

6. There is good demand of community water tank in the district.

7. Some places, it is noticed that entire gardens are wilted / dried, plants removed from orchard

completely.

Observation

1. There is huge demand of community water pond in the district due to shortage of water.

2. Drought Package is being implemented as per the recommended schedule in the orchards

with some modification by the few local farmers.

3. Wilt complex is more common in Pundi Dhanora, Control measures suggested for immediate

control.

4. Gummosis and phytophthora problems encountered in Raoulasgaon, farmer has been advised

to control the disease.

5. Pack house sanctioned without seeing the feasibility of produce, which is not correct. SMD

may see that such component should be given to actual needy beneficiary.

6. Most of places, NHM display board are not placed.

7. Farmer grafted orange on wood apple root stack to be watched regularly for its performance.

8. Under drought package Shirapur (Ashi) farmers have raized various issues / difficulties in

meeting and submitted application as under.

a) There should be provision to fill up the tanker from water source to irrigate the fruit

orchards in drought condition.

b) To give permission for plantation of pomegranate grafted (Air layering) seedlings

which are prepared by farmers in their own orchard.

c) Benefit / permission to take community Farm Pond should be given to farmer who is

willing to develop orchard. (Condition of previous orchard should be exempted).

d) The subsidy should be given on the basis of soil strata for community water tank.

e) Some components of NHM are bank linked. This condition should be exempted as

most of the banks are reluctant to sanction proposal.

9. Farmers also need to be trained on pruning and Training aspect of horticulture crops in the

districts.

10. Wild bore attack is also common and farmer are facing difficulties in controlling this menace,

damaging irrigation structures.

11. Heavy incidence of gummosis in sweet orange and bark cracking in mango noticed, suggested

remedial measures to control the disease.

VISIT TO SPECIAL PACKAGE FOR REJUVENATION IN DROUGHT AFFECTED

DISTRICTS (BEED, JALNA, AURANGABAD, AHMED NAGAR AND PUNE) OF

MARHARASTRA DURING 27TH

MAY to 3RD

JUNE, 2013

Dr. Om Prakash, Chief Consultant (NHM), Deptt. of Agriculture and Cooperation,

Ministry of Agriculture, New Delhi & Dr. Venkatesh N. Hubballi, Director DCCD, Kera Bhawan,

Cochin and Representative of SHM & SIMC arrived on 27th May at Aurangabad. The team has

visited Beed district on 28th May, Jalna district on 29th May, Aurangabad on 31st May & 1

st June

Ahmednagar and 2nd

June Pune 2013. During the visit team has reviewed the special package for

rejuvenation of orchards & various activities undertaken under National Horticulture Mission.

Extent of damage in orchards due to drought

Continuous natural calamities i.e. scanty rainfall for the last two years has adversely

affected the health of the orchards and led to heavy losses.

Losses in yield are more than about 60% and severe case to the extent of 75-80% in some

fruit crops.

More expenses due to increase in cost of irrigation water and other inputs like mulching,

water retaining agents, plant protection etc. to save the orchards.

Farmers have to maintain the orchards without any returns till, onset of rains.

Farmers have started uprooting some wilting plants due to acute shortage of water as it has

become financially unviable.

Background

Deficient rainfall for the last two years in many parts of Maharashtra, specially in

Marathwada, and part of Western and Central Maharashtra has severely affected horticulture and

allied activities, which are main source of livelihood and employment in the region. Following

the failure of monsoon in 2011, the state had declared drought in 7753 villages in 14 districts. The

monsoon rains of the year 2012 were also inadequate, especially in the first half, leading to further

deterioration of the existing situation, thereby impacting crop productivity, drinking water sources

and fodder supply. The State declared drought in 7896 villages based on final kharif crops output.

The Govt. of India has approved a rejuvenation package amounting to Rs. 400.00 crore vide letter

100

No. 33-43/2012-hort. dated 15th

March, 2013. The package is approved for implementation in

drought affected district of Jalna, Pune, Sangli, Ahmednagar, Aurangabad, Beed, Osmanabad,

Solapur, Satara, Nashik, Dhule, Jalgaon, Parbhani and Buldhana. This package is applicable for

all types of Perennial fruits crops including Sweet orange, orange, Pomegranate, grape, Mango,

lime, guava, sapota and custard apple are important fruit crops in these districts on which-

livelihood of the farmers is dependent.

The package involved a unit cost of Rs. 60,000 per hectare with 50% assistance viz. Rs.

30,000 per ha to the farmers limited to a maximum area of two heaters per beneficiary. The

balance cost of the package is borne by farmers and by the State Government.

In last 5 years rainfall received was satisfactory only during 2010 while during 2012 the

rainfall was very less, it affected very badly different orchards due to lack of water.

Due to drought condition water was not available in farmer‟s field. They were bringing

water from 5 to 50 Km. distance from December, 2012. During discussion with farmers they told

that one tanker of 5000 liter costs Rs. 1000 to Rs. 5000 according to distance of transportation.

Expenditure for maintenance of 1 ha of orchards ranges from Rs. 50,000 to Rs. 1.00 Lakh to bring

water by tanker.

The JIT visited drought affected districts (Beed, Jalna, Aurangabad, Ahmadnagar and

Pune) and observed that the area of the fruit crops had decreased due to drought conditions

prevailing up in the region. The observations recorded by the JIT are given below:-

1. The package specification designed for the drought relief was partially followed thereby

incorporating localized concept but intensive motivation and awareness programme by the

departmental officials was hardly noticed.

2. At some sites, it was noted that entire gardens were dried up extensively.

3. Most of the citrus farmers were removing the plants, where they are unable to protect the

crops due acute shortage of water.

4. The entire areas in Beed, Jalna and Ahmednagar districts were having very scanty green

canopy and looks like dry belt.

5. In many places, farmers were covering the root zone of horticulture crops mainly of

Pomegranate, Citrus, Mango, Grapes and custard apple with polythene sheet but without

adding moisture retaining agent. The concepts of moisture retaining agent differ from

farmer to farmer and some farmers were not ready to accept the advantages of moisture

retaining agent. All affected farmers and field level implementing officials needs training

programme from the Agriculture Universities or near KVK‟s.

6. In case of organic mulching, the root zones of these crops were partially covered with plant

residues of sugarcane, straw of paddy and jowar. Following these type of practices, it

would not provide full benefits of moisture conservation.

7. . In most of the cases, even though all the areas were severely affected by the drought and

farmers were protecting these crops by water tankers procuring from 30-40 km away form

the sites. Farmers were taking more strains in bringing the water from far away places and

this water need to be utilized most efficiently by following technical parameters suggested

by experts

8. Farmers were not technically trained /informed in effective adoption of mulching practices

and its advantages.

108

Impact of Package

1. The farmers adopted the package in totality were getting good result and sustaining,

whereas nearby orchardists who did not follow the package, were unable to save their

orchards.

2. The component of farm pond under NHM has really given the sustenance of livelihood

to the farming community in all the districts which were affected by severe drought.

Suggestions

1. While interacting with the farmers, they requested to increase the quantum of assistance

and also to cover all the farming community without making any difference with small,

marginal and big farmers.

2. Farm pond has really given the sustenance of livelihood to the farming community in

all the districts which are affected by severe drought, need more focus for progressive

development of horticulture in the region.

3. All the farmers were arguing that they were spending more money in protecting these

crops and assistance provided by the government is not sufficed.

4. The subsidy should be given on the basis of soil strata for community water tank.

5. Motivation and creation of awareness progrmme among farming community by the

development officials need to be enhanced.

6. Farmers also need to be trained on pruning and training of horticulture crops properly.

By observing the practices adopted by the farmers in all the drought prone districts,

they rarely practised the method of training and pruning of plants. Implementing

officials are not aware about the pruning technology to train the farming community.
