interventions have to be made

by the KVK especially in the

major crops like ground nut,

gingelly, rice and sugarcane.

The KVK, Vridhachalam is being

conducted various OFT and FLD on

major crops like rice, groundnut,

gingelly and sugarcane in the region.

The interventions includes latest

released variety, technologies for

crop management and crop

protection are taken in the region.

2 Formulate an OFT on

Assessment of suitable cropping

pattern utilizing farm ponds

both under lined and unlined

ponds.

5 No.s of On Farm Trails were

conducted at Athiyanallur,

Thatchakadu and B.Muttlur each in 1

acre. the cropping system like Direct

seeded paddy/paddy – rice fallow

pulses and groundnut+ pulses (4:1

ratio)were raised for identifying the

suitable cropping pattern utilizing the

harvested rain water. Among the five

farm pond, one pond is lined with

high density polyethylene sheets to

avoid the percolation, seepage and

infiltration losses. Daily weather

parameters(Rainfall, Evaporation,

Temperature were recorded)Direct

seeded rice were harvested. rice

fallow pulses and groundnut crops

are in the field

3 Include marketing avenues in

all the interventions made by

the KVK.

The KVK, Vridhachalam giving

training and technology advisories to

the farmers along with their value

addition and market preference.
