1 Cereals - Paddy
(Rice)
The paddy variety ADT 53 gave an increased yield of 51.79 q/ha and the crop showed lesser incidences of stem borer and blast diseases
2 Cereals - Maize Timely application of Biological and chemical control methods leads to effective management of the Fall army worm.
3 Vegetables
Bhindi/Okra
Arka Nikitha Bhendi gave higher yield than the private hybrid due to less pest and disease problem. The fruits were tender and preferred in market.
4 Vegetables - Tomato Arka Abhed Tomato gave higher yield than the private hybrid since the pest and disease was less than in Private hybrid . Because of the green shoulder the market preference was more.
5 Fruits - Mango The shelf life of mango was extended by 15 days by the application of Hexanol before harvest followed by post harvest treatment. The appearance of mango was attractive.
6 Fruits - Mango The balanced nutrient management along with Mango special foliar nutrition gave an enhanced yield and average net income increased by Rs.55,710 per hectare. Also, the quality of the fruits has got tremendously improved. The farmers expressed the satisfaction of using Mango special micronutrient mixture for the improved yield and Methyl euginol traps for the reduced loss due to fruit fly’s infestation
7 Fruits - Banana The integrated nutrient management that included the Banana special foliar nutrition has proved to improve the yield and quality of the fruits in banana and thereby the net income per hectare increased by Rs.4,88,213/-.

9 Fodder_Crops
Mixed Fodder
10 cent fodder production provides combination of grass and velimassal fodder, and also multicut sorghum fodder instead of grass only. We used to cultivate velimassal for the first time. Mixed fodder provided higher fodder yield and growth in grass and also added leguminous fodder as protein source for cattle which enhances milk yield.
10 Cattle - Cow Regular Management practices by using Teat protect spray had increased milk yield marginally and reduced the chances for mastitis. Also learned about udder hygiene and importance of washing udder before milking with potassium permonganate solution.
