OFT-1 : AGRONOMY

Title of on-farm trial

: Evaluation of suitable methods for growing wheat in DakshinDinajpur district

Details of technologies selected for assessment/refinement

: Farmers' practice= Traditional method of growing wheat by cultivation of land. Technology option-I : Zero tillage method for growing wheat. Technology option-II : Surface seeding of wheat in paddy field after irrigation.

Result: This result showed that sowing of wheat through zero tillage machine gave highest result as compared towheat cultivation in traditional system with proper land preparation and surface seeding of wheat after irrigation inthe field after rice harvesting. The significant result of yield attributing characters and yield in zero tillage method ofcultivation as compared to traditional method is due to proper water management, less weed growth thereby morenutrient uptake. Zero tillage produced more grain yield of 16% and 19% over farmers practice i.e. traditional methodof wheat sowing and surface sowing, respectively.

Title of on-farm trials : Evaluation of suitable varieties of lentil for DakshinDinajpur District

Details of technologies selected for asesmnt/refinement

: Farmers' practice : Local variety Technology option 1 : PL - 06Technology option 2 : PL - 07Technology option 3 : BM - 06

Result: Highest yield was obtained from the variety BM 06, followed by PL 07 & PL 06. Yield of these threevarieties were statistically higher than the local variety used by the farmers. Seed yield produced by the varietyBM 06 is statistically higher than rest of the varieties and recorded higher yield attributing characters. AlthoughBM 06 recorded statistically at par yield attributing characters with PL 06 & PL 07, but recorded higher B:C ratiothan rest of the varieties. Therefore, considering yield and B:C ratio, the performance of the variety BM 06, wassuperior.

OFT-3 : HORTICULTURE

Title of on-farm trial : Assessment of effect of vermicompost and farm yard manure on performance of cauliflower

Details of technologies selected for TAR

: Farmers' practice = lower doses of FYM (12 t/ha)+ RDF (NPK-120:60:60 kg/ha)Technology option-I : Application of FYM (18 t/ha)+ RDF (NPK-120:60:60 kg/ha)Technology option-II : Application of Vermicompost (9 t/ha)+ RDF (NPK-120:60:60 kg/ha)Technology option-III : ½ FYM (9t/ha) +½ Vermicompost (4.5 t/ha) + RDF (NPK-120:60:60 kg/ha)

Result shows that significantly highest yield was obtained from the technology option-II. Total number of leaves,whole plant weight and individual curd weight of cauliflower also showed the same trend like yield than any othertreatment but highest cost benefit ratio was observed from technology option-III than any other treatment. Theresult also showed that higher cost benefit ratio is observed in technology option II than technology option I due touse of only vermicompost in technology option II, though the cost of cultivation was same at both the cases.
