RESEARCH

The University has developed linkages with international organizations such as ICRISAT, ICARDA, ICRAF, CIMMYT, IRRI, Indo-US-JCERDC, University of Florida and ACIAR as well. The University also has linkages with reputed national level organizations such as IGFRI, Jhansi; IISS, Bhopal; CIAE, Bhopal; NASS & LUP, Bhopal; DSR, Indore; DWSR, Jabalpur and IIPR, Kanpur.

Research programmes focus on crop improvement such as wheat, chickpea, soybean, pearl millet, mustard, pigeonpea, cotton, sorghum, safflower medicinal and aromatic plants grapes and spices etc.; natural resources management such as soil, water and forest etc.; plant protection, fodder crops, horticultural crops, farm machinery and equipment are in progress at the following research centres:

All the research stations have adequate field and laboratory faculties to conduct research activities. The DNA finger printing facilities are available at ZARS, Sehore and Indore. Besides these, the research stations have poly houses, net houses and aphid proof net house facilities for conducting research activities. The University has "very old sick plots" for the testing of resistance against Fusarium oxyporum f sp. ciceri and Fusarium oxyporum f sp. lentis. Fully automatic seed processing units have been established at seed farms of College of Agriculture, Gwalior, Sehore Indore, Khandwa, Mandsaur and Ujjain to increase seed processing efficiency and enhanced seed quality. Vegetable seed processing units have also been set up at Special Research Station located at Joara (Ratlam) and Entkhedi (Bhopal).

l Twenty four All India Coordinated Research Project (AICRPs) are running in the University.

Seventy five externally funded adhoc projects are currently running in this University with the support of ICAR, State Government and Central Government.

l Five internationally funded adhoc projects, are running in the University with the collaboration of ICRISAT, Hyderabad; IFAD, Rome; University of California; Indo-US Science; and Technology Forum (IUSSTF), New Delhi.

l Thirteen varieties of chickpea (JG 6, RVKG 101, RVG 201, RVG 202 and RVG 203), soybean (RVS 2001-04), mustard (RVM 2), pigeonpea (TJT 501), wheat (MP 1203 and RVW 4106), pigeonpea hybrid (RVICPH 2671), lentil (RVL 31), and groundnut (JGN 3) have been notified for general seed production in the country.

l Eleven varieties of chickpea (RVSJKG 102), pigeonpea (RVA 28), jowar (RVJ 1862), hybrid jowar (RVICHS 28), mustard (RVM 1), safflower (RVS 113), cotton (RVK 67), safed musali (RVSM 414), ashwagandha (RVA 100), kalmegh (RVK 1) and sarpgandha (RVSP 1) have been released for general cultivation in Madhya Pradesh by the State Seed Sub Committee.

l Malwa plateau zone was known as cotton - jowar zone. With advancement in agricultural technologies, soybean-wheat/chickpea cropping system has completely replaced the cotton - jowar system even in dryland farming. The transformation was the consequence of the short duration varieties of soybean, wheat and chickpea with their production and protection technologies. Similarly, mono-cropping of wheat was predominant in the rainfed region of Vindhyan plateau zone. Now it has shifted to soybean- wheat/chickpea cropping system even in rainfed conditions. Technological standardization for conservation agriculture in rainfed farming deserves priority. Further, the identification / development of biotic and abiotic resistant/tolerant varieties of chickpea, lentil, wheat, pigeonpea, black gram, green gram and field pea are equally important to diversify the cropping system for dry land agriculture.

l Application of ammonium molybdate @ 1.0 g/kg seed as seed treatment along with Rhizobium +PSB was found effective and remunerative giving an additional yield and a net return of Rs. 7098/ha over control. Hence, this technology was recommended wherever soil is deficient in molybdenum for obtaining higher yields of chickpea. This technology has become very popular with the farmers of the State particularly in soybean - chickpea cropping system.

l Developed the first ever coloured cotton variety (JCC 1) at Khandwa.

l Developed the most widely adopted soybean variety (JS 335) at Sehore, which covers 40% of soybean acreage in the country.

l University released the first CMS based pigeionpea hybrid RVICPH 2671 in the World.

l University is credited with release of the first largest seed kabuli chickpea variety RVSJKG

Major Technologies Commercialized in the last six years

102 having 100 seed weight of 60.7 g.

l JG 11, a chickpea variety developed at Sehore has revolutionized Andhra Pradesh covering more than 70% area. Similarly, JG 130, JG 16 and JAKI 9218 are high breeder seed indenting varieties of the country.

l Developed first extra bold (44 g/100 seed) variety of kabuli gram (JGK 3) at Sehore having early maturity and resistance against Fusarium wilt.

l Developed Gwalior 27 variety of guava, at Gwalior.

l Based on the analysis of 1,36,238 samples, Soil health cards were prepared and distributed to the farmers.

l New Kadaknath production technology was set up facilitating livelihood security in tribal farmers in Jhabua District.

Directorate of Extension is committed to empower farmers through a well organized network of Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVKs) covering all the six agro climatic zones of Madhya Pradesh. The Directorate coordinates all the outreach activities to "Reach the Unreached" through -

l Transfer of technologies for assessment and application at the farmer's field.

l Providing feedback to the researcher for fine tuning the technologies as per region specific and local by felt needs.

l Up gradation of knowledge and skill of extension functionaries who have the responsibilities of transferring them to the ultimate users.

l Development and dissemination of technologies through print & electronic media and mobile services for mass communication.

l Strengthening of linkages with various line departments.

l Reviewing the activities of KVKs and technological backstopping of KVK Scientists and help in formulating action plans.

Directorate of Extension is responsible for planning, execution and monitoring of various extension programmes through a network of 24 KVKs including 1 ICAR and 4 NGO in 24 Districts of the State to bridge the gap between potential & actual production and increase self employment opportunities for the rural unemployed youth. The entire faculty at the University head quarters as well as at KVKs consists of multi-disciplinary Scientists, Technical and Administrative staff actively engaged in dissemination of technology and other extension activities. The network of KVKs under University comprises of-

KVKs Ashoknagar, Badwani, Datia, Dewas, Dhar, Guna, Gwalior, Jhabua, Khandwa, Khargone, Lahar (Bhind), Mandsaur, Morena, Neemuch, Rajgarh, KVK Shajapur, KVK Sheopur, Shivpuri and Ujjain.

These KVKs are performing the activities of :1. On farm testing to identify the location specificity of technologies in various farming

systems.2. Frontline demonstration to establish production potentials of newly released technologies

on the farmers' fields and provide feedback to the research.3. Training of farmers and farmwomen to update their knowledge and skills in modern

agricultural technologies.
