From Editors deskAgriculture in India is the pivotal sector for ensuring
food and nutritional security, sustainable development and foralleviation of rural poverty. Our agriculture did extremely well and
it was on the ascendancy till the mid nineties but after that the
growth slowed down. Since 1996-97 the growth rate of
agricultural GDP has been, on an average, 1.75 % per year in
contrast with the rate of 4% that is required. It is the key factor for
generating employment opportunities for the vast majority of the
population. The agriculture sector, as a whole, has been
confronted with numerous challenges linked to food and energy
crisis coupled with climate change and degradation of natural
resources. Similarly, the farmer is facing rising input costs,
declining returns from the inputs, uncertain market, increasing
role of market in agriculture and blurring of distinction between
the domestic market and the international m arket.
To assist the farmer in these changing contexts new
strategies and innovative solutions are urgently required which in
turn will require technological support. In response to emerging
challenges KVK mandate has also broadened with time. From
vocational training, the focus shifted to On-farm testing during
1990s,: to technology assessment and refinement in 2000 and as
knowledge centre and resource centre in 2009. The KVKs at
present are involved in the
On farm testing to identify the location specificity ofagricultural technologies under various farming systems.

Seminar on warehousing developmentact
To create awareness among the farmers
about the Warehousing (Development and
Regulation) Act, 2007, a two days seminar was
organised at KVK, Kapurthala on 10th
and 11th
November, 2010 in collaboration with the
Central Warehousing Corporation (CWC). The
aim of the seminar was to educate about the
provisions of the act and thereby providing an
opportunity to the farmers towards
safekeeping of farm goods in accredited
warehouses. A group of 30 progressive
farmers including 10 farm women attended
the seminar and the team from Central
Warehousing Corporation delivered lectures
on the various components of the the Act likedevelopment and regulation of warehouses,
the method of registration of warehouses, the
issuance of the negotiable warehouse
receipts.
Dr Manoj Sharma, Deputy Director (Training),
KVK, highlighted the importance and
economic impact of safe storage of food
grains and Dr Gagandeep Kaur made
presentation on post harvest management of
vegetables for prolonged storage. In order to
impart practical experience, participants were
taken for exposure visit to CWC warehouse atBhogpur. Apart from the training certificates,
all the participants were given a storage bin of
3 quintal capacity for safe storing food grains
and other commodities at the domestic level.

has always been keen to work in this
direction and organises basic and advanced
skill development training programme from
time to time.
In this series, a four days duration training
cum visit programme sponsored by IFF
was organized at the KVK campus on 16th
to
20th November, 2011. Forty farm women
attended this programme.
The participants were interested to learn
practical skills in the preservation techniques
and therefore, products like papaya chutney,
cauliflower chutney, mixed pickles, mixed
fruit jam, dishes from sprouted pulses etc.
were demonstrated. Tie and dye and
detergent making techniques were also
shown. On theconcluding day, an interaction
with the bank representatives was arranged
to make the participants familiar with various
lending agencies and to help them in starting
their own business.
ScientificAdvisoryCommittee Meeting
The meeting was chaired by Dr. M.S. Gill,
Director of Extension Education and presided
over by Dr. A. M. Narula, Zonal Project
Director, Zone-I. In this meeting, KVK,
Kapurthala managed to get released its first
edition of KVK newsletter by the honorable
chairman, Dr. M. S. Gill. The Newsletter to be
issued twice a year will highlight KVKs
achievements, latest news, techniques and
methods available in agriculture for the
benefit of farmers. Dr. A. M.
Narula stressed that scientific advisory
committee is mandated to advise and assist
the KVK in improving its working and
formulate its future action plan. So he

and established that technologies available at
the KVK like UMMB licks and mineral mixture
are being adopted on a large scale by the
dairy farmers. Dr. M. S. Gill, the Chairman,addressed suggestions and queries of the
members. He requested that Lead bank
should take feedback from the KVK as they
have a large number of progressive farmers in
contact with them and formulate such
schemes which are conducive to district
farmers and can be financed bysuch agencies.
He also insisted that the feedback on
technological constraints in technology likebeing currently faced in happy seeder and

Amarjit Singh Boparai -Mushroomgro er
Name:Sh. Amarjit Singh
Boparai
Village:Muskved
PO:Lakhan Kalan
District: Kapurthala
Mobile No:98554-85865
The name of Shri
Amarjit Singh of village
Muskved of Kapurthala district is well known
as a most successful mushroom grower who
has done wonders in mushroom cultivation in
addition to traditional farming. He started
mushroom cultivation with a small shed over
the terrace of his ancestral home in thevillageduring1993, now hassprawlingcultivation of
over an area of 2000 sq. ft. He obtained a
formal training on button mushroom
cultivation at Krishi Vigyan Kendra,
Kapurthala. The shed built by him with
bamboo poles and iron rods covered with
straw in itself is marker of his innovation. Now
his shed expands to an area of 1000 sq. ft
while rest of the area is being used for floor
for cleaning and packaging. He handles 350-
400 quintals of straw each season and
prepares his own compost. Recent innovation
introduced by him is use of poultry manure in
his compost which has enhanced the
mushroom productivity. Earlier he was
harvesting 20 Kg per quintal of compost,
however, in winter 2009, he harvested yield
to the tune of30 kg mushroom per quintal of
compost with modification in thecomposition
of compost. He himself picks, cleanses and
packs the mushroom at his farm, themushroom thus packed in perforated
polythene bags in standard size of200 gm is
transported to nearby markets of Kapurthala
and Jalandhar. The annual production is to the
tune of 114 quintal and with market price
ranging between 40 60 Rs/ kg, his net
turnover is 5,70,000/- whereas his net
returns amount to 3,15,000/- per season. He
asserts that he achieved this success with
proper guidance; desire to do the things in
better way; doing work with his own hands
instead of relying on labour and support of his
wife. However his expansion plans for hismushroom unit has been put to hold due to
the lack of skilled labour in the field. He
suggestsspawn production and packing units
can open new horizon for the mushroom
cultivation in district and create a great deal
employment of educated youth. It is now
expected that youth of state take cue from
him and adopt mushroom cultivation in big
away.

Hybrid seed production ofmai % e
Corn (maize) isconsidered the only important
Maizeseed production became a major agri
industry when realized that hybrid lines
could significantly out yield open pollinated
line
Breeders have developed several high-
yielding hybrids of maize in recent years.
These have made a major contribution to
increase food production. Several of these
hybrids are attractive to seed industry.
There are lot of business opportunities in
production of hybrid seed production
because of higher profit margin as well as
the farmers have to buy the hybrid seed
each year. Use of hybrid maize has
resulted in the development of new
enterprises like production, processing,
sale and distribution. The seed industry
consists of several components like
research, production, quality control and
marketing. Here is the technology of
production on hybrids developed by the

should be 1 & 3. For JH3459, it should be
kept 1 & 2. Off type plantsshould be rouged
out before pollination. Rouging has to be
performed in seedling stage, flowering
stage and at the time of harvesting by
seeing the plant and ear characters. All
the tassels in female lines must be
removed prior to pollen shedding.
Detasseling should be done daily. 75 kg
Nitrogen, 24 kg phosphorous and 12 kg
potash should be applied to seed
production plot. The seed should be
harvested from female lines only. Thats
the hybrid seed. The male linesshould be
harvested first and kept separately. ' hile
harvesting and shelling females lines off
typesearsshould be discarded.
Intercropping in orchards
As fruit trees take longer time to yield
profit to the grower, it is desirable to
supplement one's income by growing
some short-term crops till they are
shaded by the trees. Such crops when
taken in the orchard are calledintercrops. Farmers should keep the
following points in mind while going
for intercropping in orchards (
) ater requirements of the intercrops
should coincide with the requirement of
fruit trees.
Such intercropsshould beselected that do
not exhaust the nutrients and moisture
from thesoil, which isso essential for the
growth of fruit trees.
Perennial or exhaustive crops like
sugarcane, pigeonpea, maize, jowar etc.
should be discouraged as an intercrop inthe orchard.
Vegetables like tomato, onion,
cauliflower, beans, radish, palak etc. that
have their roots within 25cm depth of the
soil are most suited for intercropping.
Legumes such as pea, lentil, blackgram ,
green gram, sunhemp, cowpea etc., in
citrus orchards had been found very
beneficial in augmenting the nutrient
supply from thesoil.
Such inter-crops suppress weed growth
and reduce the evaporation of soil
moisture, besides adding considerable
quantities of organic matter, nitrogen and
other nutrients.
Papaya , Peach, Phalsa and guava could
also be included in the early stages of
growth of the trees, provided these are
maintained properly by adequate pruning
and removal at proper time.

Mineral mixture
KVK Kapurthala has started production of
mineral mixture to increase milk production
and improve the health of dairy animals. This
mineral mixturecontains major as well micro
minerals which are essential for maximizing
digestion and absorption of nutrients from
feedstuff the animal consumes and will act as
feed supplement. The cost of this feed
8/6/2019 News Letter Kvk Kapurthala
8/16

supplement is Rs55 per kg and is available in
packing of 5 kg. The dairy animals require at
least 17 minerals in their diet for optimal milk
production, reproductive performance and
good health. Consumption of mineral mixture
not only improves the functioning of thevitalorgans in dairy animals but also their immune
and reproductive functions besides ensuring
their overall good health. The demonstrations
conducted at farmers field by KVK showed
that regular use of mineral mixture
supplement can lead to an increase in the milk
yield up to 1.0 litre daily. It is recommended
that for a cow giving up to 10 litres of milk
about 50grams of mineral mixture need to be
supplemented in bran or oilcake daily and
thus1.5 kg issufficient for a cow in a month.
It is worth to mention that this feed
supplement should not be considered a
medicine but should be considered as an
essential dietary constituent. Moreover long
term benefit of supplementation of minerals
includesenhanced conception, healthycalving
and more calves apart from reduction in
overall feedingcost in milk production.
Net housecultivation ofvegetables
To supplement the income of farmers,
particularly in the case of small farmers,
vegetables growing can be helpful. For
this purpose, PAU has standardized
technology for protected cultivation of
vegetables. Thrust is being given on the
cultivation of high-value vegetable crops
under net-house and poly-house. The
university has recommended net-house
cultivation of capsicum, tomato
(indeterminate type) and brinjal. There
are many benefits associated with net-
house cultivation of vegetables. The
technology helps to extend the growing
season, improves quality of the produce
and minimizes the pesticides residues, a
serious issue regarding freshly consumed
vegetables. To demonstrate this
technology among the farmers of
Kapurthala, KVK has constructed a small
shade unit at KVK premises.
The produce of the net-house, being
available in the off-season, fetches high
price in the market due to their better
quality and early availability.
Further, thevegetablesgrown in the net-
house contract minimum incidence of
viruses transmitted through insect vectors
like white-fly, aphid etc. Vegetables likecucumber, beans and bottle gourd also
give encouraging results under net-
houses.
Under theexistingscenario of demand for
better quality vegetables and
continuously shrinking land holding,
protected cultivation can help farmers
increase their profitability. The KVK will
utilize the facility created for training
purposes.

Technological problems in dairyfarming
It was observed that majority of dairy
farmers were either land less or small and
medium. On the other hand only 8% farmerswho were possessing land more than 10 ha
kept dairy animals which show that large
farmers gave more attention to crop
production than the dairy farming. Similarly, it
was observed that 44.5% and 48.8% of
population was keeping up to 5 and 15
animals, respectively. Only 4.3% farmers
possessed between 16 to 25 animals and a
very small population (2.4%) was possessing
more than 25 animals. Thisshowed that very
few farmers were practicing dairy business on
commercial scale (2.4 %) and majority of
farmers i.e. 93.3% were having up to 15
animals. Further, it was also noticed that
majority of dairy farmers (74.9%) were
possessing cows with daily milk yield varying
from 4 to 10 lt./d and 85.8 % of farmers were
keeping buffaloes with daily milk yield ranging
between 2 to 8 lt./d.
Total numbers of dairy farms were
classified on the basis ofselling of milk in the
open market. It was observed that 29.2 %
farmers having domestic dairy only, whereas,
68.4 % population was running dairy businesson semi commercial basis, i.e. they were
selling surplus milk after meeting out their
daily requirements. However, very small
percentages (2.4%) were running on
commercial basis. Hence, there is a need to
put maximum efforts to make these domestic
and semi commercial into full fledged
commercial dairy units.

9. Cow dung management 1.0 9.0 8.5
The problems being faced by these
three categories of dairy farmers were also
different. Major problems of the small dairyfarmers were cow dung management while
for semi commercial and commercial farmers
mastitis was the major problem. The landless
labourers who were keeping animals reported
that the disposal of the fresh cow dung was
the major problem as they were not
possessing land, whereas, this was not a
problem for those who were running business
on semi commercial or commercial basis. The
major technical problems in cross bred cows
reported were of mastitis followed by
anoestrous and repeat breeding. Since, these
farmers were having large number of cows
and thus due to deficiency in proper
management and feeding ofcross bred cows
problems persisted under both theconditions
(Table ). The farmers who were keepingsmall
number of animals (Domestic dairy) were not
facing such problems because they were
takingcare ofeach animals individually to themaximum possible extent but availability of
green fodder and concentrate was on the top
list probably due to poor financial conditions.
Availability of green fodder was a major
concern under commercial dairy farming and
not in semi commercial conditions. It is thus
suggested that in order to meet out green
fodder requirements of milch animals,
farmers must opt for silage making. This
practice will reducecost of milk production on
one hand and prevent nutritional diseases on
the other. From the table, it was concluded
that all these threecategories of dairy farming
were facing different types of problems,
hence their training needs were also found to
be different.
A 3 areness through television talks
The Doordarshan Kendra Jalandhar has been
instrumental in providing support to
agricultural extension. A regular punjabi
programme titled Mera Pind Mere Khet and
Savi Dharti are being telecasted by
Doordarshan Kendra, Jalandhar for spreading
awareness amongst farmers related to various
aspects of agricultural activities including
conservation and sustainable use of natural
resources in agro ecosystem. The agriculture
based program being telecasted by
Doordarshan find audience among farmers,extension workers, and field-level
functionaries, as well as agricultural scientists,
researchers, and policy makers. KVK
Kapurthala has been actively utilising this far
reached multimedia tool to address
information and technology needs of farmers
for their economic growth and faster
dissemination of information.
KVK scientist has been participating asTechnical Expert in the Television Programme
Mera Pind Mere Khet and Savi Dharti.
Scientists of KVK delivered 16 T.V. talks on the
topics related to animal health management,
problems in dairy farming, balanced diet for
children and adults, employment
opportunities for farm women, establishment
and management of orchards, cultivation of
vegetables, integrated nutrient management
in paddy, soil testing and plant protection
measures for kharif crops. Apart from these
regular interview based programs, KVK
scientists participate in interactive televised

Agri-entrepreneurship is the needof
theday
Agri entrepreneurship iscreating a business in
the field of agriculture for the purpose of
achieving profit and growth by utilizing the
opportunities available at variousstages of
product development from farm field to the
consumer.4
hile promoting agripreneurship,
different types ofenterprises in agribusiness
areconsidered:
1. Primary producers: At the individualfamily level, each family is to be treated asan enterprise whose objective is to optimize
the production by making best use of the
technology, resources and cater according
to need and demand in the market.
2. Service providers: In order tooptimize agriculture income by every family
enterprise, there are different types of
services required at the village level. These
include the inputs procurement and
distribution, hiring of implements and
equipment like tractors, seeds drills,
sprayers, harvesters, threshers, dryers, and
technical services such as installation of
irrigation facilities, weed control, plant
protection, harvesting, threshing,
transportation, storage, etc. Similar
opportunities exist in the livestock
husbandry sector for providing breeding,
vaccination, disease diagnostic and
treatment services, apart from distribution
of cattle feed, mineral mixture, forageseeds, etc.
3. Input producers: Some inputs whichcan be produced by the local entrepreneurs at
the village are bio- fertilizers, bio- pesticides,
vermicompost, soil amendments, planting
materials, root media for raising plants in
pots, agricultural tools, irrigation accessories,
production ofcattle feed concentrate, mineral
mixture and complete feed etc.
4. Processing and marketing of farmproduce: Efficient management of
postproduction operations require higher
scale of technology as well as investment.Such enterprisescan be handled by people s
organisation/ self help groups, either in the
form ofcooperatives or servicesocieties. Such
ventures need good professional support for
managing the activities as competitive
business and to compete well with other
players in the market, particularly the retail
traders and middlemen.
Development ofAgri entrepreneurship
Success of a development of an agri-
enterprise venture depends upon following
factors:
1. Inherent viability of the agri-
enterprise: technical, financial and
commercial viability
2. Planning of the agri-enterprise.
3. Execution of the activities concerned
with agri-enterprise
4. Management of the agri-enterprise.
In order to inculcate agri-
entrepreneurship skills and setting up of an

Linkages with linedepartment s
A strong linkage of KVK with the line
departments in the district has led to
extend the reach of itsextension activities
beyond itsexisting domain. The three wayleg model where faculty of KVK, financial
institutions (banks) and service delivery
support (line departments) work together
has facilitated the farmers making
adoption of technologieseasy and reward
paying. Here areglimpses of few activities
taken up by the KVK in collaboration with
various line departments.
