Technologies Refined & Ready to Push for Delivery

Layering of technologies (LL + ZT+ improved cultivar + RR 6” with 3 post irrigations including one at milking- grain filling stage ) in wheat

Residue management by using THSArun variety with 25 kg/ ha seed rate (ST) along with N

& P application (at seeding) for Surface seeding in lentil.

Pusa 256 variety with 60-80 kg /ha seed rate (ST) along with N & P application (at seeding) for Surface seeding in chick pea.

DSRGood progress in weed management, still work is needed in WM/Cult. Choice/Water management

04/11/2322

Learning..Service providing system at grass root level is the key

point for large scale dissemination of CA technologies.PPP play a very important role in foster dissemination

of CA technologies.It is equally important to have a strong linkage of

CSISA with state dept. of Ag. for fast track dissemination.

Need local manufacturer for development & assuring timely availability of CA machinery and promoting workshops for repair and maintenance of old drills.

Long term experiments for capacity building of farmers and stake holders through Training/Travelling Seminar, targeting sustainability of these technologies.

Continued…

Use of ICTs should be promoted for timely information with valid content.

Ownership must be given to the partners, if the programme conducted in structured partnership mode.

Role of print & electronic media is important in large scale delivery.

Cross objective learning is needed.Cross boarder interaction is important.At last, capacity building of hub staff need to

be taken on priority.
