Open precision farming resulted bumper harvest of Snap melon
Start Date: Thursday, February 24, 2022
End Date: Thursday, February 24, 2022

Event Category : Field Day
Venue : kallupalam, alangad
Description : The open precision farming of Snap melon demonstrated by KVK Ernakulam resulted bumper harvest where yield increase of 70 per cent recorded. The precision farming also improved appearance, overall quality and marketability of melons. The expenditure for fertilization reduced by 60 per cent as the nutrient supply was precisely to the root zone through micro irrigation. The plastic mulching prevented weed growth thereby the weeding cost could be saved. Low water requirement, less spillage of water and nutrients also contributed towards resource saving. The foliar fertilization resulted in extended harvest and enhanced general health of the plants. The KVK conducted a Field day to popularize the technology at Alangad on 24th February, 2022. Alangad Grama panchayath president Shri.P M Manaf inaugurated the field day and Dr.Shinoj Subramannian, Principal Scientist and Head presided over.

Biological management of Aquatic weeds: Training conducted
Start Date: Monday, December 27, 2021
End Date: Monday, December 27, 2021

Event Category : Farmers and Farm Women Training
Venue : Moozhikulam, Ernakulam
Description : on 27th December 2021 for members of Moozhikulam Sala, a cultural & environmental collective located at Moozhikulam, Ernakulam. Many of the freshwater resources in the district are infected by different types of aquatic weeds and algae resulting reclamation of these precious water resources into waste dumping yards. This not only lowers ground water levels, but also leads to flooding during monsoon. Cleaning of water sources and maintaining them tidy is essential. Rearing herbivorous fishes to feed algae/aquatic weed plants is a viable environmental friendly solution. Grass Carp (Ctenopharyngodon Idella) is an ideal candidate that has ability to feed aquatic weed voraciously about 2 to 3 times of its body weight daily. Releasing 20 Grass Carps of 500 gm size can manage 1 acre pond.

KVK sets up homestead units to produce quality eggs
Start Date: Wednesday, May 29, 2019
End Date: Wednesday, May 29, 2019

Event Category : Other Event
Venue : KVK has set up poultry units in selected homesteads of Narakkal grama panchayath to create a model that produce quality eggs and supplies to city consumers in attractive packets. The poultry units consisting of improved cages, layer poultry birds and feeds were distributed by Dr. A. Gopalakrishnan,
Description : The funding for the units was provided by ICAR-Central Plantation Crops Research Institute, Kasaragod under its Scheduled Caste Sub Plan. The 45 units distributed in the initial phase are expected to produce one lakh eggs per year that would be supplied through the Farm Shoppe of KVK functioning at CMFRI. Though many housewives in the city are interested to rear poultry and produce safe and quality eggs, lack of enough space is the preventing factor. On the other hand, house wives in the villages like Narakkal are looking for income by not compromising their regular works at home. It is in this context that the KVK chalked out a plan to produce eggs at village homesteads and to create its supply chain.
