  2. No. of Scientist : 02

  3. Important Achievement with quantifiable impact:

  • Total Sixteen high yielding varieties of different maturity groups have been released by AICRP, JNKVV centre. A very high yielding wider adaptable variety JS 335 released in 1992 by CVRC had played enormous role in area expansion of soybean and uplifted farm economy. It had become very popular soon after its release and ranked first in national breeder seed indent constantly for a decade till 2011 (>30%) and still covering 24 % area of India. Apart from this, varieties like JS 97-52, JS 95-60, JS 93-05, JS 20-29, JS 20-34, JS 20-69 and JS 20-98 are also popular among the farmers.

  • Centre has paved the way for earliness in soybean and released JS 95-60 in the year 2006 (first extra early, four seeded variety of India) and JS 20-34 released in 2014. JS 95-60 has become very popular and occupied first place in national breeder seed indent from 2013-14 to 2017-18 whereas demands of JS 20-34 is increasing continuously and it stood second in 2018-19.

  • Mean while from 2012-13 to 2016-17, in total national breeder seed indent, JS varieties occupied 86% area of India. JS varieties have remarkable contribution in soybean farming and are still covering several million ha area of the country.

  • Recently, two varieties viz. JS 20-116 (CZ, EZ, and NEHZ) and JS 20-94 (CZ) were identified in the year 2018. JS 20-116 variety is wider adaptable and suitable for mechanical harvesting, where as JS 20-94 is violet flower and suitable for cultivation in central zone.

  • Centre has evolved and maintained/developed many resistant genotypes/ pre breeding lines for biotic and abiotic stresses which are currently utilizing in national hybridization programme across the country as high yielding and resistant donors.

In central India these varieties are popular among the farmers to enhanced the productivity (22-25q/ha) for sustainable agriculture and reduction in the cost of cultivation. These varieties perform well in continuous cropping sequence of soyabean-chickpea is due to multiple disease resistance

  • First high temperature tolerant, short duration of desi chickpea variety JG 14developed which gave an opportunity for late sown conditions. Popular among the farmers of central and northeastern zone of India where lot of scope for expansion in rice fallow areas for chickpea cultivation to encourage mono to double crop. JG36 is high in protein (26.64%) and yield developed for nutritional security of mal nutrition population of India.

  • Developed first kabuli chickpea variety of MadhayPradesh,JGK1 is a major breakthrough in diversification of chickpea cultivation in irrigated areas of Central India. JGK2 another Kabuli chickpea varietie develped is better in cooking.

  4. Most important achievement and their quantifiable impact

  • Devlopment of chain pump: An improved chain pump capable of providing water supply of 7146 lph [ hand operated] and 9516 lph [pedal operated] was developed, fabricated , demonstrated and popularized in tribal areas of kundam [m.p]. It is suitable for water lifts up to 3.5 m from Nalas, open wells and from one field to another field.

  • Rectification of Farm Pumping Units for Saving Electricity: Rectification performed over pumping units improves operating efficiency. From the survey, it was found that 62 percent pumps are operating at an average efficiency lower than 30 percent. Energy used, operating conditions, output delivered, quality of pumps, installation and maintenance of pumping units were observed, recorded and analyzed in the light of efficiency of energy utilization. Guidelines were issued in form of leaflets for pump selection, installation, operation and maintenance and distributed to about 10000 farmers at various occasions.

  • Water budgeting of Districts of Madhya Pradesh: The water budget of all districts of Madhya Pradesh is prepared based on normal rainfall. The Guidelines of National Commission on Agriculture was followed. Based on water available for utilization and water requirement by different sectors, the water excess/deficit of different districts are calculated. Most of the districts (36) have surplus water which can be used for future expansion of agriculture. In general Eastern half of the state does have excess water while Western half has deficit water. Betul, Chhindwara, Balaghat, Mandla and Seoni have excess water of tune of 199008 – 483693 ha-m i.e. about 60 percent of excess water is with these districts. Mandsaur, Rajgarh, Ujjain, Shajapur and Dhar are the most water deficit districts having 67954 to 140612 ha-m lesser water than the requirement. To make picture clearer the percentage excess/deficit was also computed. This shows how much water is in excess or deficit in comparison to the requirement. it is illustrated in Fig 9. Among water excess districts, Balaghat, Mandla and Umaria belongs to 143 to 333% excess water whereas 15 districts of western and northern part of the state have water deficit of 8 to 37 percent. Interestingly, three districts out of five districts lying in Narmada valley have water excess below 24%.

  • Ground water recharge potential of Haveli fields: Haveli is a traditional way of harvesting rain water in field itself. This stored water shall is released in last week of September. The residual moisture is used for rabi cutivation.The ground water potential of these fields were experimentd for four years and found that they are cabale to store store water for atlest sixty days and ca recharge ground water @ atleast 4 mm/day. Haveli can convert 40% of runoff into groundwater recharge over an area of about 7.5 lakh ha in Kymore plateau and Satpura Hills

  • Conjunctive Use of Surface water and Groundwater: Water balance of the Khulri minor in the command area of Rani Awantibai Sagar was estimated considering cropping pattern, rainfall, surface runoff, seepage from canal and water table gradient. Model so developed was compared with observed water table fluctuations during mansoon and non-mansoon period. The rising trend was arrested through conjunctive use of groundwater and canal water, and shift in cropping pattern, i.e. partial replacement of paddy by soybean. The study was aimed to extend the approach of conjunctive use planned for the entire command area of Patan Branch Canal System in order to arrest groundwater table rise in shallow water table zones. The model revealed that 60 per cent of canal water and 40 per cent use of groundwater in the area will keep water table within the safe limit. 60:40 ratio of surface and ground water use is found a good media to maintain dynamic equilibrium at a safe depth of 1.5 m from ground surface. This is applicable for command areas having black soils specifically in Bargi Command, Tawa Command, Chambal Command in central India.
