Application of pesticide inside orchards with conventional sprayers often results in an inefficient application as these are constant rate applicators and also the significant amount of pesticide gets lost in spaces between trees. To reduce the pesticide losses inside orchards, a variable rate sprayer was developed which sprayed only after the occurrence of the tree and according to the size of the tree. The performance of the developed variable rate sprayer was evaluated inside guava trees to quantify the spray deposition at six different plant positions. The sprayer was operated at three forward speeds (2, 3 and 4 km/h) with four air velocity levels (20, 25, 30 and 35 m/s) and two different types of nozzles (hollow cone and flat fan nozzle). The observed data was statistically analyzed to study the significance of selected parameters on spray deposition. The spray deposition was found to significantly increase with the increase in air velocity and hollow cone nozzle was able to deposit more amount of spray as compared to flat fan nozzle. There was no significant variation was observed with different forward speeds. The maximum spray was deposited on upper leaf surface at all selected plant position. The uniform spray deposition was observed with the air velocity of 35 m/s and hollow cone nozzle. Even though the developed variable rate sprayer varied the discharge of nozzles according to tree size, it was able to deposit the adequate amount of spray at all selected plant positions.Keywords

Six year ambitious agricultural research Programme was launched in India on 6th July, 2006, which is known as National Agricultural Innovation Project (NAIP), the project focused on innovations in agricultural technology. Four districts of Rajasthan viz., Udaipur, Banswara, Dungarpur and Sirohi figure prominently as the disadvantaged districts identified by the planning commission, based on income, tribal population, their resources, state of agriculture, etc. Keeping in view the challenges of food and nutritional security, National Agricultural Innovation consortia project was initiated by the ICAR in MPUAT, Udaipur. The NAIP was implemented in four districts of southern Rajasthan state viz., Banswara, Dungarpur, Sirohi and Udaipur. Two clusters of Dungarpur district were selected for the present study. These were (a) Faloj and (b) Bichhiwara. Total 10 villages out of 15 villages (under NAIP) were selected proportionately on random basis for inclusion in the study. Total size of sample was of 104 respondents. It was found the strengths that 95 (91.35 %) of the farmers were of their face values expressing strengths of NAIP with moderate extent. Negligible respondents 5 (4.81 %) and 4 (3.84 %) could be observed falling under high and low strengths of NAIP, respectively. Furthermore, data clearly show strong aspects of NAIP with special reference to livestock based IFS were "green fodder production", "milk production", "use of agricultural implements", "feeding pattern of animals", "artificial insemination" and "use of processing equipments" as per the perception of tribal beneficiaries. These were ranked from 1 to 6 in sequential order in the hierarchy of 14 aspects of strengths. On the other hand, the aspects viz., saving, use of biogas plants, fish production, use of mangers, water management and composting / vermin-composting were perceived by the farmers as comparatively less strong for deriving benefits out of NAIP.Keywords

The present study was conducted in Banswara and Udaipur districts of Southern Rajasthan. Total 120 urd beneficiary and non-beneficiary farmers were selected on the basis of random sampling method from the identified districts. The study reveals that out of 120 respondents, 51 (42.50 %) respondents in high farm profit group i.e. above Rs.21500/year. Whereas, 47 urd growers (39.17 %) could be placed under medium level of farm profit group viz., ranging from Rs.18000 to 21500/year and 22 respondents (18.33 %) were found in the low farm profit group upto Rs. 18000/year.Keywords

The present study was conducted in Banswara and Udaipur districts of Southern Rajasthan. Total 120 gram beneficiary and non-beneficiary farmers were selected on the basis of random sampling method from the identified districts. The findings reveal that the extent of adoption of RSG-888 variety of gram among beneficiary farmers was recorded 86.25 per cent, while in case of non-beneficiary farmers it was 61.25 per cent. In case of extent of adoption of the complete package of practices of RSG-888 variety of gram, it was found that beneficiary and non-beneficiary farmers had 83.75 and 62.50 per cent adoption, respectively.Keywords
