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).
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
