End Date: Tuesday, January 28, 2025

Event Category : Scientist visit to Farmers field
Venue : Narsapuram of Kasimkota mandal.
Description : Sri Munasala Kishore, a farmer from Narasapuram village in Kasimkota mandal, planted coconut trees on his 5-acre farm two years ago. Over the past two months, several plants have been dying. Upon visiting the orchard at the farmer’s request, it was observed that some young palms had already died, while others exhibited symptoms such as reddish-brown discoloration of the younger fronds, followed by yellowing of the inner whorl leaves. Eventually, the crown collapsed, leading to drying and death of the affected palms. Closer inspection revealed rotten tissue at the base of the dead trees, along with dead adult red palm weevils. Similar findings were observed in damaged palms on the verge of dying. When the trunk was cut open, extensive internal damage was evident. The grubs had burrowed into the stem, feeding on the tissues and causing severe internal destruction. The inner portion of the trunk was completely consumed, leaving behind rotting and chewed fibers.

Line sowing of Groundnut with Seed cum fertilizer Planter.
Start Date: Wednesday, January 8, 2025
End Date: Wednesday, January 8, 2025

Event Category : Scientist visit to Farmers field
Venue : Venkupalem village of Anakapalli mandal.
Description : Venkupalem is a village where groundnut sowing has traditionally been practiced using labor-intensive and time-consuming methods. These traditional practices often result in uneven seed distribution, leading to lower crop yields. To address these challenges, mechanized line sowing practices using seed-cum-fertilizer planters have been introduced to ensure precise sowing and reduce labor dependency. Conducted the demonstration on seed-cum-fertilizer planter which has significantly reduced the cost of sowing operations from ₹4,500 to ₹800 per acre, resulting in savings of ₹3,700 per acre. Additionally, the seed planter has eliminated the need for animal power and reduced the requirement of 8 man-days (laborers) for the sowing operation, making the process more efficient and cost-effective.

Description : Enlightened on Fertilizers, pests and diseases management in coconut and cashew. Inter crops in Coconut to get additional income and to increase beneficial insects. Emphasized the importance of Micro-nutrients in horticulture crops to increase the quality produce/yield. Explained the unknown mistakes doing at farmer level i.e. storing farm yard manure heaps in the orchard will increase the rhinoceros beetle infestation, mechanical damage to the stems and root also will increase the infestation of red palm weevil in coconut, stem and root borer in cashew. During field visit observed powdery substance (insect excreta mixed with wood dust) and gummy exudates emerging from the coconut trunk, it might be caused by red palm weevils. But the whole size is very small and not more than 3 mm. Gummy exudates and mushrooms at the base of truck, indicating Ganoderma disease, lead to death of trees. More than 10% mortality observed in the garden with same symptoms.

Direct sowing of Paddy with Hand push seed drills.
Start Date: Thursday, July 11, 2024
End Date: Thursday, July 11, 2024

Event Category : Scientist visit to Farmers field
Venue : Munagapaka of Munagapaka mandal.
Description : Mr. Vegi Lakshmanarao of Munagapaka mandal had prepared a set-up with 2 hand push seed drills for line sowing of Paddy directly in ploughed land. He purchased two hand push seed drills @ 7000/- each and welding cost about 1000/- for joining of both in one frame. Cost saving is about 7000/- in direct sowing than traditional method (Transplanting in puddled land). He calculated that and the set-up cost is almost same as local method for his 2 acres land. Started sowing, but the movement of set-up was not so easy, needed more strenth to push. Then changed the handle to pull the system. Handle angle was not convenient for sowing. On difficult, continued sowing only in 10 cents and stopped. Our Agri-Engineer suggested few corrections in design.

Description : 1. Engaging with farmers on topics related to sugarcane crop cultivation, including discussions on moisture conservation methods, land preparation using ridge formers, and intercultural operations with power weeders. 2. Using a drum seeder (Paddy) in puddled soil can be challenging due to the heavy and compact nature of the soil. The resistance from the wet and sticky soil makes it difficult to smoothly operate the drum seeder. To overcome this challenge, an innovative farmer modified the wheels of the drum seeder. This modification proved beneficial, making the operation of sowing easier and reducing the time required for sowing with the drum seeder.
