Common observations:

Tissue culture Banana Cv.G-9 assumes importance at Allahabab,Jaunpur and

Sultanpur districts for enhancing productivity and production through area

expansion.

Planting material at government nurseries need to managed properly, by proper

labeling and preparations only in poly bags (Grafted) Nurseries should be

accredited by National Horticulture Board. Mother blocks needs to be established

with recommended cultivars.

Timely supply of planting material including tissue culture banana plants should be

assured to the farmers as any delay in supply adversely affects the productivity.

Farmers need to be given freedom to procure planting material from accredited

and empanelled tissue culture units. Technical committee should verify the supply

of planting material in farmer’s field and subsidiary should be paid to farmers by

cheque or transfer to account as per MIDH guidelines.

Farmers should be paid 2nd /3rd year maintenance cost of fruit crop production

positively by June or July directly in their account as per MIDH guidelines after

timely verification of crop in field.

Betel vine cultivation initiated at Jaunpur under RKVY Scheme needs to be adapt

recommended package of practices. Agriculture College /KVK, Jaunpur may take

field demonstration for suitable & cost effective shade material to be recommended

for commercial production of betel vine.

Protected cultivation should be given priority for the progressive farmers. Field

functionaries and farmers need to be imparted training on protected cultivation

including production technologies in Green house cultivation and automation as

well as precision farming.

More emphasis should be given for high density and canopy management

programme under area expansion programme of Guava at Allahabad district.

Effort should be for setting up infrastructure for Post Harvest Management such as

pack houses, cold storages, refrigerated vans, ripening chambers linking them

clearly with producing firms.

Effort should be made to avoid granting subsidy benefit Subsidy benefits for for

area expansion of banana crop to the farmers of same families.

Annual action programme submitted by district officers should be given due

consideration at the time of financial allocations to district.

Financial progress at district level needs to be accelerated.

State Horticulture department have serious constraints of manpower at field level.

Trained man power up to block level may be strengthened and vacant positions

may be filled on priority basis.

Hortnet need to be operationalised in all the three districts visited.

District Allahabad:

It lies between the parallels of North latitudes 24°47´ and 25°47´ and East longitudes

81°09´ and 82°21´ longitudes and is surrounded by the districts Pratapgarh and Jaunpur

in north, Varanasi in east, Kaushambi in west, Mirzapur and Rewa of Madhya Pradesh on

the south. The total geographical area of this district is 5482 Sq. Km. and a population of

5959798 as per 2011 census. Allahabad, the district of many dimensions lies in the

eastern part of Uttar Pradesh. It has borders the state of Madhya Pradesh. The district

falls under the central Ganga alluvial plain. Three important rivers

namely Ganga, Saraswati and Yamuna forming 'Triveni Sangam’.The district falls under

the central Ganga alluvial plain. Ganga and Yamuna are the most important rivers of the

district. Other rivers which flow in the district and at the end meet with Ganga or Yamuna

are Tons and Belan, The holy Ganga and Yamuna confluence in the middle of the district

at Allahabad town and flow in the shape of 'Y' alphabet which divide the district in three

physiographic tracts namely Trans-Ganga region, Doab region and Trans-Yamuna

region. The northern part of Allahabad district, popularly known as Gangapar, is endowed

with good fertile soil for cultivation of food grains, pulses, oil seeds and vegetables. The

southern part of Allahabad, known as Yamunapar is partly hilly and agriculturally

backward.

Soil and Climate:

Net area under cultivation is 3,26,000 hectare, out of which 2,40,286 ha area is irrigated. The district is endowed with good soil, adequate ground water and all three growing seasons, rabi, kharif and summer. Every year approximately 5,80,398 hectare is put under various crops with cropping intensity of about 157%. Wheat is the main crop, followed by paddy. Bajra, pulses, vegetables, potato, guava, mango, cucurbits and banana are other important crops. A thorough study of cultivation pattern prevalent in the district revealed important gaps which required to be addressed to realize the full potential. The district has 37 functional cold storages having capacity of 3,686,15 MT. Cold stores and rural godowns have helped the farmers to store their commodities close to their fields and obtain pledge loans and marketing credit from banks, thereby avoiding distress sale at the time of harvesting of the crops. The major crops of the district are wheat, rice, barley and potato which are being cultivated over the years without any rotation/diversification. The northern part of Allahabad district popularly known as Gangapar is endowed with good fertile soil for cultivation of food grains, pulses, oil seeds and vegetables. The southern part of Allahabad, known as Yamunapar is partly hilly and agriculturally backward.

Allahabad is subject to a humid subtropical climate common to cities in the plains of North

India, that is designated Cwa under the Köppen climate classification. The annual mean

temperature is 26.1 °C (79.0 °F); monthly mean temperatures are 18–29 °C (64–84 °F).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humid_subtropical_climate

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%B6ppen_climate_classification

The average annual rainfall is 934 mm. Climate is sub humid and is characterized by hot

summer and pleasant monsoon and cold season. About 90% of rainfall takes place from

June to September. During monsoon surplus water is available for deep percolation to

ground water. From February there is rapid increase in temperature, May is the hottest

month with the mean daily maximum temperature is 41.50C and mean daily minimum

temperature 260 C. After the onset of the monsoon there is appreciable drop in

temperature, January is the coldest month with mean daily maximum temperature is

26.200 C and mean daily minimum temperature is 9.30 C. The mean monthly maximum

temperatures is 19.540 C and mean monthly minimum temperature is 6.230

Geomorphology :

The district is mainly characterized with Ganga, Yamuna alluvial plain and Vindhyan

Plateau. G.S.I. (2001) has identified the following geomorphic features.

1. Active Flood Plain: It is quite localized and confined only to the river system.

2. Older Alluvial Plain: It is characterized by depositional and erosional terraces found in

patches along the active plain.

3. Rocky Surface (Denudational hills): These are prominent in trans Yamuna area formed

mainly of quartzitic nature.

The master slope of Trans Ganga is towards east or south east, with the altitude ranging

from 89.30 mamsl-93.57 masl. Rivers of the district namely Yamuna, 7Tons, Sai and

Varuna belongs to main drainage system of the Ganga. Dendritic drainage pattern is the

most common features in the district which is the structurally controlled. Streams upto the

fifth order are encountered in the district.

C. The relative humidity is high during the southwest monsoon season, with mean

monthly morning relative humidity at 63.92% and mean monthly evening relative humidity

at 48%.Winds are generally high with some increase in force during summer and

southwest monsoon season. The mean wind velocity is 5.16 Km/hr and the potential

evapotranspiration rate is 1456.7 mm. Allahabad experiences three seasons: hot dry

summer, cool dry winter and warm humid monsoon. Summer lasts from April to June with

temperatures in the low 30s Celsius; during dry spells, maximum temperatures often

exceed 40 °C (104 °F) in May and June. Monsoon begins in early July and lasts till

September. Winter lasts from December to February. Temperatures rarely drop to

freezing point. Maximum temperatures are around22 °C (72 °F) and minimum around 9

°C (48 °F).[46] Allahabad also suffers thick fog in January resulting in massive traffic and

travel delays. It does not snow in Allahabad. The highest recorded temperature is 48

°C (118.4 °F), and the lowest is −2 °C (28 °F).

Rains brought either by the Bay of Bengal branch of the south-west summer monsoon or

by the Arabian Sea from the Arabian Sea branch lash Allahabad between June and

September, supplying it with most of its annual rainfall of 1,027 mm (40 in). The highest
