SRI famers field school and SRI practice adopted in the field due to project intervention

System of Wheat Intensification: An initiative for green revolution in western Nepal

New concept and practiced of wheat cultivation manipulating soil environment highly favorable for better root and shoot growth using principles of SRI.

Wide spacing for better light and air utilization.High use of compost and Organic matter.Quality seed by selecting and treatment with

different biotic and biotic agentsBetter soil aeration by weeder

• Four farmer's controlled field trial were designed and established at Ramsikharjhala, Lalbojhi and Fulbari.

• Each trial have two treatment 300m2 for farmer's practices and 300 m2 for SWI

• Variety: Gautam and Bhirkuti• Broad casting of seed with recommended dose of fertilizer in

farmers practices• Germinating seed at a distance of 20 cm plant to planted and

20 cm line to line by dibbling methods .• Gap filling were done by transplanting the wheat seedling

after 10 DAS.• Fertilizer dose 100:50:50 Kg NPK/ha and 10 MT FYM per ha.• At 20, 40 and 60 DAS irrigation were done and each five days

after irrigation weeding were done by SWI weeder machine.

System of Wheat Intensification: An initiative for food security in Kailali

Different in conventional and SWI practice observedSN Parameters SWI Conventional

1 Seed requirement 25-30 kg/ha 100-120 Kg/ha

2 Seed treatment Done by with biotic and biotic agentsNot necessary

3 Methods of sowing Dibbling in Line , use of seed drill, drum seeder, seed dibbler etc

Broad casting

4 Spacing 20 x20 cm No proper spacing

5 Weeding 2-3 weeding by SWI weeders Not done

6 Length of panicle (cm) 18 12

7 No of grain per panicle

60-75 40-50

8 No. of panicle per hill 2-5 53-40

9 TGW (gm) 70-75 45-50

10 Stem, root & leaves Thick stem, long & wide spread root and wide green black leaf

Thin stem, short and surface root and narrow and pale green leaf

11 Productivity 6.2- 7.9 Mt/Ha 3.5- 4.5 Mt/ha

Difference in Yield Component in SWI &Conventional

Composting through IMOs: A new techniques enriching soil for sustainable agriculture among the marginal farmers.

Features• Could be made locally by

mariginal farmers.• Requires very short period for

composting( 30- 45 days)• No need to make pit.• Frequently turning up of

composting material is not necessary.

• Quality compost could be prepared in short period of time.

• IMOs also could be used in plant protection operations.

• Have of side effect, residual effect on ecosystem.

• Eight demonstration training were organized to train 96 farmers in hill VDCs.

• Scale up of IMO technology were done among 20 farmers.

• 6 demonstration on IMOs were conducted in FFS training.

• A participatory research is ongoing to evaluate the effect of IMOs concentration on composting.
