Main Observations :

➢ Average productivity in model farms has increased

substantially, thanks to SEA intervention in last 5

years.

➢ Each model farm connected with 50/100 castor farmers

in surrounding area.

➢ Over the last 5 years, it is seen that initiation of Model

Farm Project in any district has had the rippling effect

of even non-project farmers subsequently adopting the

best practices of the project thereby enhancing their

productivity and overall production of castorseed in the

country.


Reason for increase in productivity :

by SEA

➢ Overall productivity increased, thanks to

a) Good Agronomics Practices

b) Quality Seeds

c) Spacing between two plants (6’X6’ or 7’X7’)

d) Increase in Nos. of picks

e) Increase in number of branches & pods

f) Continuous guidance and supervision

experts, Co-ordinators.


Plan for 2021-22 (6th Year) :

➢ Next year, we plan to have 600 model farms and about

250 farms under water harvesting. Total expenditure

estimated at INR 80.0 lakh (US$ 115,000)

➢We Solicite the support from all Stakeholders

RAIN WATER

HARVESTING PROJECT

2020 - 21


Why Castor:


This year along with the yield improvement

project, undertook water haravesting project

on a 50:50 basis, where the participating

farmer bears half the cost.
