Pulse Technology

Pulses are the integral part of farming system of Odisha. The production and productivity of pulses has not been increased for a long period. To supplement protein requirements of the rural population there is need to increase production level through adoption of recommended technologies. Besides to improve overall farming system the contribution of pulses in terms of enriching soil fertility, conservation of moisture and controlling of weeds are to be kept in mind. The present transfer of pulse technology system is quite weak which needs strengthening. The rate of adoption of pulse technologies stands with a gap of more than 50% along with problems of non availability of quality seeds and other inputs in time. To look at the future of pulse production in the state the steps like cluster approach, establishing of seed production centres,, variety wise seed plan, strengthening of Extension support, making input available in time at affordable cost, research linkage, year wise Production Program and Development of marketing chain for pulse are suggested based on the findings of the study.

Food systems of the future that will guarantee food and nutrition security of millions of poor farming households will have to be both economically and socially diverse. Diversity of farming systems acts as a catalyst for innovation, commercialisation as well as technology adoption. This study sought to find farm typologies and explore the social, enterprise and economic diversity of the various farm types based on a promoted Growing Bananas with Trees and Livestock (GBTL) technology system that was implemented by National Agricultural Research Organisation and Bioversity International in three districts of Central Uganda, Kiboga, Nakaseke and Ssembabule. Using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Cluster Analysis (CA), typologies were created in which two distinct clusters of farming households were revealed. Further analysis of the clusters through Food Consumption Scores, food classes, and other descriptive statistics indicated that the two clusters were socially and economically diverse. Findings indicated that Cluster 1 is made up of smaller farms with high crop diversity. Families in Cluster 1 sell more of their produce and subsequently have lower food security compared to the land-abundant, off-farm earning and more food secure Cluster 2. We failed to reject the hypothesis that socially and economically diverse farmers adopt technologies more given that the level of GBTL adoption was about 25% and about 70% for Banana + Goats within both clusters.

A detail study on the experience of agricultural extension in Nepal was done by discussion with experts, academicians and involved agricultural officers of Nepal along with review of different documents, books and articles on the subject matter. Since from the first effort of extension service, Training and visit, Integrated Rural Development Approach, Tuki Approach, Farming System Research and Extension Approach, Block Production Program were the approaches used in the past. Conventional Educational Approach, Pocket Package Approach, Projectization Approach, Farmers Group Approach, Farmers Field School Approach, Partnership Approach are the approaches being followed presently in agricultural extension in Nepal. The extension efforts in the country are guided by the National Agricultural Extension Strategy.  Department of agriculture under ministry of agricultural development is responsible for providing public extension service via District Agriculture Development Office (DADO), Agriculture Service Centre, Contact Centre, Model Agriculture Service Centre and Community Agriculture Service Centre at the farmers level. Farmers Group and cooperatives, International and National Nongovernmental organizations, Community Based Organizations and few private entities are providing the private extension services. major issues found in public extension systems are lack of motivation among the rural youths, farmers; natural resource degradation and climate change and sustainability issues; inadequate number of the extension workers and their qualification and skills; inadequate  infrastructure and capacity for use of ICTs among the ground level extension workers; lack of monitoring and assessment of impact of extension activities in rural farmers; low level of need based extension coverage particularly for small farmers; ineffective and weak linkages between stakeholders at different levels; low level of education of farmers; insufficient budget and investment for extension activities; domination of supply driven approaches rather than demand driven; inadequate extension services in parts of value addition and market exposure.

Integration of makhana (Euryale ferox Salisb.)-cum-fish culture including sole system as sub-plot on the nutritional quality under wetland ecosystem reveal that seed yield as well as nutritional value of makhana seeds (starch, sugar, protein and minerals) vary significantly by different integrated nutrient management (INM) packages applied on the crop and fishes. The result exhibited highest value (75.04, 2.37, 9.45 and 0.52%) with N4 treatment (plants and fishes both received a well-balanced organic and inorganic sources of plant nutrients along with fish-feed including zinc spray). The combined effect of different farming system and INM on the nutritional status of makhana seeds was not significant. These important food ingredients as fresh as well as its different value-added products have great importance for small and cottage industries, particularly poor and marginal section of rural people as well.

This paper is part of the case study on “Socio-economic development of rural people through Agroforestry system in Rasuwa District of Nepal” surveyed during 2008. With the aim to assess the contribution of agro forestry to household economy of rural people, a study was conducted at Dhaibung VDC of Rasuwa district as agro forestry system creates employment and livelihood opportunity to the majority of the rural dwellers. Comparative study was done between agro forestry and non-agro forestry system village based on the project in terms of financial benefits and incentives received by respondents. Findings from the study revealed that agro forestry system practiced in project area; gross income and net income analysis in project village (PV) are more profitable than control village (CV) farms. Income from sale of livestock, fruits, milk and milk products was higher in project village as compared to control village whereas income from public services, wage labour was somehow same. The integration of agroforestry into existing farming system is the strongest driver to meet the food sufficiency of rural resident for longer months and ensure food security sustainably in the study area.

The Impact

The factors causing destruction of natural complexes, degradation of agricultural lands were considered. It was revealed that the crisis phenomena of state institutions also influenced the low resistance of agricultural production to negative impacts of a natural and climatic nature. The necessity of raising the urgent problem of drought, which affects the decrease in yield, and, consequently, the deterioration of the natural conditions of the economy, was proved. This requires a change in the agricultural technology system towards the development of a reclamation complex for the irrigation of agricultural lands, especially on lands of intensive agriculture, in particular, beet growing, vegetable growing, fodder production and the formation of a more drought-resistant farming system. It was noted that the neoliberal regulatory policy of the state and the liberalization of agrarian relations stopped the development of intensive reclaimed agriculture. It was revealed that over the past 30 years, land with reclamation systems fell into the private property of individuals. Lack of responsibility for the proper use of irrigation systems has led to the rupture of technological integrity, to the destruction of their functional properties. There is a need to form a system for organizing the efficient and rational use of agricultural land in production, which will allow us to study the features of the interaction of the components of the system and form ways to ensure a balance between the efficiency (profitability) of production and rational continuous use of agricultural land. On the basis of modeling, the factors of influence on the organization of the effective use of agricultural lands were determined. A graph-model of the system of organizing the efficient and rational use of agricultural lands was formed A structural-logical model of overcoming drought on agricultural lands was proposed. As a result of the studies, it was concluded that the impact of drought can be overcome by ensuring in Ukraine a full-fledged turnover of agricultural land and effective state mechanisms of regulatory economic policy in agricultural land use.

The Mean

An analytical discussion of that case of motion in the restricted problem, in which the mean motions of the infinitesimal, and smaller-massed, bodies about the larger one are nearly in the ratio of two small integers displays the existence of a series of periodic solutions which, for commensurabilities of the typep+ 1:p, includes solutions of Poincaré'sdeuxième sortewhen the commensurability is very close, and of thepremière sortewhen it is less close. A linear treatment of the long-period variations of the elements, valid for motions in which the elements remain close to a particular periodic solution of this type, shows the continuity of near-commensurable motion with other motion, and some of the properties of long-period librations of small amplitude.To extend the investigation to other types of motion near commensurability, numerical integrations of the equations for the long-period variations of the elements were carried out for the 2:1 interior case (of which the planet 108 “Hecuba” is an example) to survey those motions in which the eccentricity takes values less than 0·1. An investigation of the effect of the large amplitude perturbations near commensurability on a distribution of minor planets, which is originally uniform over mean motion, shows a “draining off” effect from the vicinity of exact commensurability of a magnitude large enough to account for the observed gap in the distribution at the 2:1 commensurability.

Potential Use

The origin of mica polytypes has long been a challenging problem for crystal- lographers, mineralogists and petrologists. From the petrological point of view, interest in this field arose from the potential use of layer stacking data to furnish further informations about equilibrium and/or kinetic conditions prevailing during the crystallization of the widespread mica-bearing rocks. From the compilation of previous experimental works dealing with the occurrence domains of the various mica "polymorphs" (1Mr, 1M, 2M1, 2M2 and 3T) within water-pressure vs temperature fields, it became clear that most of these modifications should be considered as metastable for a fixed mica species. Furthermore, the natural occurrence of long-period (or complex) polytypes could not be accounted for by phase considerations. This highlighted the need of a more detailed kinetic approach of the problem and, in particular, of the role growth mechanisms of basal faces could play in this crystallographic phenomenon.

In reaction sintered SiC (∽ 5um average grain size), about 15% of the grains were found to have long-period structures, which were identifiable by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In order to investigate the stability of the long-period polytypes at high temperature, crystal structures as well as microstructural changes in the long-period polytypes were analyzed as a function of time in isothermal annealing.Each polytype was analyzed by two methods: (1) Electron diffraction, and (2) Electron micrograph analysis. Fig. 1 shows microdensitometer traces of ED patterns (continuous curves) and calculated intensities (vertical lines) along 10.l row for 6H and 84R (Ramsdell notation). Intensity distributions were calculated based on the Zhdanov notation of (33) for 6H and [ (33)3 (32)2 ]3 for 84R. Because of the dynamical effect in electron diffraction, the observed intensities do not exactly coincide with those intensities obtained by structure factor calculations. Fig. 2 shows the high resolution TEM micrographs, where the striped patterns correspond to direct resolution of the structural lattice periodicities of 6H and 84R structures and the spacings shown in the figures are as expected for those structures.
