A‘live’ agriculture expo provided the perfect venue for an
MoU signing to introduce new technologies for farmers
in Maharashtra, in western India. The technologies will help
move towards doubling farmers’ incomes as part of India’s
‘Mission 2022’. The MoU was signed between Agricultural
Development Trust (ADT)-Baramati and ICRISAT. Farmers,
national and state government officials and political leaders
attended the event.
The technologies in pigeonpea as well as intercropping of
pigeonpea with sugarcane, hold promise for better
incomes and nutritious crops. Mr Sharad Pawar, Member
of Parliament, Rajya Sabha, (India’s Upper House) and
President, ADT-Baramati, assured ICRISAT of ADT’s support
in introducing innovations to farmers in India and
appreciated the organization’s contribution to agriculture
worldwide. Dr Peter Carberry, Director General, ICRISAT,
said that he was looking forward to this collaboration
where new varieties and technologies introduced to
farmers’ fields would benefit them. For her work in the
region, Dr Anupama Hingane, Scientist - Pigeonpea
Breeding, Crop Improvement Asia Program, ICRISAT,
received special mention.
In view of ‘Mission 2022’ for doubling farmers’ income,
ADT’s Krishi Vigyan Kendra organized the 4th
edition of its
annual exhibition “Krushik-2019” from 17-20 January. Field
demonstrations of crops (cereals, pulses, vegetables,
fodder, horticulture crops, flowers, etc.), technology
solutions, agricultural inputs, farm implements and
machinery, irrigation demonstrations, and protected
cultivation on 44 ha area were some of the attractions at
the expo. Dr Carberry, who inaugurated the expo, said that
farmers from Australia and Africa, who work in similar
dryland conditions and face the same climate constraints,
could benefit from visiting exhibitions like these.
Dignitaries who attended the expo include Ms Supriya Sule,
Member of Parliament; Mr Rajendra Pawar, Chairman,
Agriculture Development Trust, Baramati; Mr Burzis
Taraporevala, CFO and Company Secretary, Tata Trust;
Mr UD Shirsalkar, Chief General Manager, National Bank
For Agriculture & Rural Development ; Dr Lakhan Singh,
Director, ICAR-Agricultural Technology Application Research
Institute , Pune; senior officers from the Department of
Agriculture, Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri and
trustees of ADT. g
ICRISAT in partnership with Krishi Vigyan Kendra-
Baramati is working towards –
▪▪ Developing technologies for intercropping of super-
early pigeonpea with sugarcane. This research aims to
find out if growing of pigeonpea (a leguminous crop)
will reduce fertigation costs for sugarcane and provide
farmers the additional benefit of growing a protein-rich
crop like pigeonpea.
▪▪ Demonstrating hybrid pigeonpea technology to farmers.
