3. Details of SAC meeting conducted during 2013-14 Sl. No Date Major recommendations Status of action taken in brief Tentative date of SAC meeting
proposed during 2014-15 1. 30.12.13 Vice chancellor remarks:
KVK should advertise the seed availability of various crops through newspapers periodically.
Seed of tomato var. Solan Lalima will be produced at KVK this year and its availability will be advertised through newspapers.
First fortnight of July
Plastic mulch should be preferred over hay mulch as it gives very encouraging results and easily available on subsidy basis to thefarmers.
Suggestion has been incorporated in the forthcoming action plan.
He also stressed upon use of chemicals as per the latest guidelines issued by the Central Insecticide Board.
Only the chemicals which are approved by the CIB have been incorporated in the forthcoming action plan of the KVK.
While installing yellow sticky traps for the management of white flies, the crop height should be kept in mind.
Suggestion will be incorporated in the forthcoming action plan.
3
2. ZPD, Zone-I remarks:
Before conducting SAC meeting, proceedings of previous meeting alongwith agenda items/constraints must be circulated to all SAC members well in advance.
Proceeding of last SAC meeting has been circulated to all SAC members.
Private sector varieties should not be included in OFT/FLD unless it is recommended by the University or some ICAR institution.
Only recommended varieties are included in the interventions.
Instead of varietal screening, interventions on effect of different cultural practices on crop productivity should be included in OFT/FLD.
Interventions on mulching and canopy management have been included in the upcoming action plan.
During vocational courses, one session
should be exclusively on subsidy schemes being conducted by banks.
While conducting vocational courses, one session will be held on subsidy schemes.
The treatments which have given good
results in OFT, should be taken up in FLD next year.
Suggestion has been incorporated in the forthcoming action plan.
3 Director, DMR, Chambaghat Remarks:
Instead of writing 100% NPK, exact doze of
fertilizers alongwith chemical name must be mentioned.
Suggestion has been incorporated in the forthcoming action plan.
Impact analysis of every intervention must
be done by KVK.
Needful will be done in due course of time.
Instead of conducting FLD on individual disease/insect-pest of any crop, emphasis should be given on integrated disease/insect-pest management.
FLDs on integrated disease management in tomato and capsicum have been included in the forthcoming action plan.
Biofertilizers should be tested for 2-3 years We have selected cluster villages in the
4
in the same field so that their effect is visible.
district and intervention on the effect of biofertilizers will be repeated in these villages for three years.
4 Deputy Director Animal Husbandry remarks: KVK should organize some joint
activities with veterinary department. KVK will organize two training programmes in collaboration with veterinary department this year.
5 Progressive farmers remarks: Sh. Atam Swaroop, a progressive
floriculturist of Mahog village requested the Hon’ble Vice Chancellor that University should conduct some training programme for pesticide sellers and Sh. Amar Dutt, a progressive farmer from Mansar also endorsed his viewpoint.
Efforts will be made in this direction.

Integrated disease management technologies in tomato:
The IDM practices mentioned below will take care of the major diseases of tomato and insect vectors.
A) Before transplanting: 1. Soil amendment with Trichoderma viride @ 3kg/bigha before transplanting. 2. Dip treatment of roots of seedlings in a solution of mancozeb (0.25%) for 10 minutes. B) After transplanting:
1. Spray of cow urine (1 part cow urine:8 parts of water) and neem oil (1%) as prophylactic sprays at an interval of 8-10 days. 2. Removal of all solanaceous weeds in and around the field. 3. For white fly management, a spray of imidacloprid (0.0075%) will be given and yellow sticky traps will be installed. 4. Rope staking of plants. 5. For the management of early blight, septoria leaf spot and bacterial spot, sprays of mancozeb (0.25%) + streptocycline (0.01%) or
copper oxychloride (0.3%) will be given alternatively. 6. Mulching with pine needles before monsoon. 7. Lower leaves of the plants will be pruned periodically up to a height of 15-20 cm. 8. With the onset of monsoon, the crop will be sprayed with the combination of cymoxanil + mancozeb (0.25%) ensuring covering of
fruit followed by two sprays each of mancozeb (0.25%) or copper oxychloride (0.30%). 9. Proper drainage will be ensured during rainy season and diseased/bored fruits will be collected and destroyed regularly . Virus infected
plants will be rogued out as soon as the symptoms appear. 10. To check late blight infection during the months of October-November, spray of the copper oxychloride (0.30%) /Bordeaux mixture
(4:4:50) is given and will be repeated at 8-10 days interval.

Annexure-II
Integrated disease management technologies in capsicum:
The IDM practices mentioned below will take care of the major diseases of capsicum and insect vectors.
a) Before transplanting: 1. Sowing of maize around main field 30 days prior to transplanting to check the entry of viruliferous insects 2. Healthy and vigorous seedlings will be dipped in a solution of mancozeb (0.25%) for 10 minutes before transplanting.
b) After transplanting: 1. A prophylactic spray of cow urine (1 part cow urine:8 parts of water) will be given and repeated at 8-10 days interval . 2. Removal of all solanaceous weeds in and around the field. 3. For the management of aphids, a spray of imidacloprid (0.0075%) will be given. 4. Mulching with pine needles before monsoon. 5. Proper drainage is ensured during rainy season. 6. For the management of cercospora leaf spot, a spray of mancozeb (0.25%) will be given. 7. With the onset of monsoon, the crop is sprayed with mancozeb (0.25%) followed by copper oxychloride (0.3%)/ Bordeaux
mixture (4:4:50) alternatively at 7-10 days interval. 8. To avoid bacterial spot infection, the crop is sprayed with Streptocycline (0.01%) + copper oxychloride (0.3%). 9. Diseased fruits will be collected and destroyed regularly. Virus infected plants will be rogued out as soon as the symptoms appear 10. Uprooting of wilted plants and drenching the remaining healthy plants with copper oxychloride (0.3%) or mancozeb (0.25%)
alternatively to manage fungal wilt at 7-10 days intervals.
