Impact of KVK Bahraich
Name of Technology : Zero-till wheat after rice.
Character of Technology :
Zero tillage planting of wheat after rice is the most successful resource-conserving technology to date in the low-lying areas of the eastern Uttar Pradesh. Zero tillage wheat allows for a drastic reduction in tillage intensity, with significant costs sowing as well as potential wheat yield through planting of the wheat crop at a better time and is very effective in minimizing soil and crop residue disturbance.
Impact of Technology :
Zero tillage’s in wheat impact in the tarai belt of Bahraich has been achieved through on intervention that proved attractive; an enabling process that combined elements of persistence, flexibility and facilitation; and a context that implied a need for change.
Name of Technology : Utera Lentil Cultivation
Character of Technology :
Bahraich District is located in the tarai of eastern Uttar Pradesh. The area being low lying is the some part of the blocks Fakharpur, Mehinpurwa and Mahsi. Sowing of lentil in optimum time becomes difficult after lowland rice or excess soil water condition deterring land preparation after harvest of rice crop.
Impact of Technology :
Farmers are practicing Utera cropping successfully in lentil in tarai belt in this district in consultation with the subject matter specialist of Krishi Vigyan Kendra to facilitate better production of the crop. This technology is commonly used in the blocks of Fakharpur, Mahsi and Mehinpurwa of Bahraich district.
Name of Technology : Control of wilt disease through IPM in pigeon pea.
Character of Technology :
Wilt caused by Fusarium udum But. is a serious wide spread and destructive disease of pigeon pea. Wilt is seed and soil borne in nature hence it is difficult to manage. For controlling wilt, adopted of IPM technology involving summer deep ploughing, timely sowing and use of bio-fungicide ie. Tricoderma spp.
Impact of Technology :
Higher pigeon pea production is being achieved by adoption of IPM technology by large number of farmers in the district.
Name of Technology: Control of mastitis in milch animal.
Character of Technology :
Mastitis is inflammation of the parenchyma of Mammary gland and caused by Staphylococcus aureus and Staph. Mastitis occurs due to unhygienic condition in milch animal. For the control of mastitis, washing the udder with the use of either KMnO4 @ 10mg/lit of water or Zermilon @ 1.0ml/ liter of water after milking up to 20 days after calving.
Impact of Technology :
Mastitis control by 100% with this technology resulted enhance the milk production during same lactation period.
Name of Technology: Control of flower dropping in tomato.
Character of Technology :
Dropping of flower in tomato due to no use of plant growth regulator and improper irrigation management. Proper moisture should be maintained during crop period for higher yield. For control of flower dropping, plant growth regulator (Para Chloro Phenoxy Acetic Acid) @ 20 ppm ( 2mg/lit of water) was spray one time at flowering stage. Application of micro nutrients as boron and manganese along with macro nutrients.
Impact of Technology :
Tomato yield increase 20-30% with this technology and this technology adopted by vegetable growers.

TITLE :
Yield potential of lentil with use of bio fertilizers Utera cropping after harvest of rice.
Introduction :
Nutrient use for agricultural production is essential to increase food production. Low productivity of lentil may be ascribed to many reasons, but inadequate and imbalanced fertilizations and terminal heat are the measure factor. It is a general practice of the farmers of this district to sow various winter crops like lentil, chickpea and pea under utera system after rice harvesting without use of bio fertilizers to ensure germination using the residual moisture and to avoid tillage operations. Use of balanced fertilization by application of chemical fertilizers along with bio fertilizers is of great importance. Use of efficient strains of Rhizobium and phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) may help not only in increasing nutrient use of efficiency and yield but also reducing the cost of cultivation.
KVK intervention :
Rhizobium and phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) in utera lentil without tillage operation.
Output :
Yield obtained under recommended technology is higher (11.30 q/ha) than the farmer’s practice (9.60 q/ha) which is 17.71% more over farmer’s practice. The highest net income was fetched with application of bio fertilizers mainly because of higher productivity. Benefit : cost ratio was also higher (3.96) under demonstrated technology when compared with farmer’s practice (3.88).
Outcome:
Combined inoculation of rhizobium and phosphate solubilising bacteria (PSB) recorded the highest net returns and benefit : cost ratio under demonstrated technology.
Impact :
Farmers are practicing Utera cropping successfully in lentil in low lying areas in the Bahraich district. Adoption of this technology by 35 farmers in nearby village of conducting on farm trial.
