Impact of Training:

1. Around 130 youth trainees of Palm climbing and plant protection training programme

were in the self employment and fetching a handsome income

2. Increased the no. of soil and water testing samples

3. Decreased the incidence of Red palm weevil infestation in coconut upto 15 to 20

percent

4. Anganavadi workers are proving good value added nutritive food to children after

attending training programme

5. Under IFS selected farmers were provided with training along with critical inputs as a

result their income was raised by 15 to 20 percent after adoption of IFS units

6. The extension functionaries of agriculture department were trained under

Bhoochethana programme and they only providing technical information to the

farmers

7. Increased the rate of adoption of ecofriendly plant protection measures like use of

pheromone traps, Trichoderma , neem based insecticide etc. up to 10 to 15 percent

8. Increased the seed treatment measures upto up to 10 to 15 percent

9. Increased the use of micro nutrient application to a extent of 25 to 30 percent

(trainings were linked with Bhoochethana programme)

10. Increased the awareness and adoption of nutrition garden

11. More number of trainees were fodder crops in order to decrease the cost of milk

production

12. After obtaining training programme under palm climbing and plant protection the

trainees farmed the associations and federation and their be themselves conducting

such programme at village level which was sponsored by coconut development board

in technical consultation with KVK

Innovative ideas adopted in training:

1. Lesson plan and modules were used in each training

2. All trainings were of more practical oriented ie. Hands on training

3. Trainees participatory mode was used in each training programme

4. Local progressive farmers were used as a resource person in majority of training

programmes to share their experience for motivation and leads of more rate of

adoption of technologies

5. In each training programme pre and post evaluation was conducted in order to

understand and the knowledge and skill of trainees about the particulars

technologies / training programmes.

6. The trainees were informed with the programmes of development departments so

that to make more awareness

7. The extension functionaries were provide with soft copy / CD’s with delivered

technologies during the training programme in order to make use at the gross root

level

8. Exposure visits were also the part of training programme to the institutions and

progressive farmers field

9. Attractive and effective training tools and materials were used

10. The trainees were informed with source of critical inputs in order to increase the

rate of adoption

11. The trainees were registered for mobile SMS service through farmers portal

thereby they are providing with up to date scientific information about the

technologies along with weather and market information

XII. Success Stories / Case studies (Two to three)

1. Title: Impact of Training programme on social and economic stability of youths (Group approach)

Background: Tumakuru district is an land of coconut and accounts an area of 1.5 lakh hectare. With this,

recently farmers facing sever labour problem to harvest tender and matured nuts along with the serious pest like

Red Palm weevil, Rhinoceros beetle, black headed caterpillar, mites and diseases incidence such as Ganaoderma

wilt, stem bleeding, Bud rot etc. with all these the KVK in collaboration with Coconut Development Board,

Bangalore and Karnataka State Rural Livelihood Promotion Scheme, GOK organized vocational training

programme.

Interventions

Process: KVK, Konehalli, Tiptur tq, Tumakuru Dist. in collaboration with Coconut Development Board,

Bangalore and Karnataka State Rural Livelihood Promotion Scheme, GOK organized 7 (6 days each) vocational

training programme on Palm Climbing and Plant Protection under Friends of Coconut Tree (FOCT) programme

for self employment for 180 young farmers of the district during the year 2013-14 and 3 programmes 60 young

farmers during 2012-13. In each training programme programme schedule, modules and lesson plan were

developed to organize the training in more effective and efficient way. The resource persons of our institute

along with outside institutes technical persons and local progressive farmers were engaged to take up the

technical sessions in the programme. A master trainer who is a ex trainee of our same training programme

organized at our centre during the past training programme where he teach the skill of climbing the palm by

using climbing equipment. The technical sessions organized in most effective way by using different

methodologies and aids including field visits. And more emphasis was given on skill development on palm

climbing and plant protection aspects by using systematic method demonstrations.

Technology: Training programme on Palm Climbing and Plant Protection

Impact:

Horizontal Spread: KVK has totally covered 240 young farmers of the district during 2012-13, 2013-14 and

under palm climbing and plant protection training programme and eventually they involving in harvesting of

their own farm nuts along with engaging in harvesting of nuts from others farm by charging of Rs. 30 per palm.

A single trainee can harvest the nuts from 40-50 trees in a day. And on an average 70 trainees are engaging in

harvesting of nuts along with crown cleaning including plant protection aspects as a labour and realized the self

employment status. KVK with this efforts formed two climbers group such as “Kalpasiri Coconut climbers

group”, Raysandra, Thuruvekere Tq. And “Kalpaganga Coconut climbers group”, Ganganahalli, Thuruvekere

Tq. Where in a group approach these groups working most effectively and solving the labours problems to a

certain extent.

Economic gains: A climber charges Rs. 30 per palm for harvesting of nuts and Rs. 50 for crown cleaning and

plant protection aspects. One can earn an handsome income of Rs. 1500-2000 per month along with his daily

farming work.

Employment Generation: After the training programme KVK has formed two climbers group such as

“Kalpasiri Coconut climbers group”, Raysandra, Thuruvekere Tq. And “Kalpaganga Coconut climbers group”,

Ganganahalli, Thuruvekere Tq. Where in a group approach these groups working most effectively and solving

the labours problems to a certain extent. Our trainees are also invited by many other KVK’s who organized such

training programmes to work as a mater trainee, by that also they earning good income.

2. Title: Impact of Training programme on social and economic stability of a young farmer of the District

(Individual approach)

Background: Tumakuru district is an land of coconut and accounts an area of 1.5 lakh hectare. With this,

recently farmers facing sever labour problem to harvest tender and matured nuts along with the serious pests like

Red Palm weevil, Rhinoceros beetle, black headed caterpillar, mites and diseases incidence such as Ganaoderma

plant protection aspects. One can earn an handsome income of Rs. 1500-2000 per month along with his daily

farming work.

Employment Generation: A Mr. Nataraju, marginal farmer with land holding of 1 acre dry land and before

attending the training programme he was engaged in masonry work and with a savings of Rs. 200-250 per day.

By the advertisement of KVK regarding training programme he attended the training programme on Palm

climbing and Plant Protection during September 2013. He was actively involved in all the activities of training

programme during sessions of one week. After training programme he went back to his native and tried lot

about more skill on palm climbing himself and after that he is fully engaged in palm climbing by leaving

masonry work. Earlier days KVK has given advertisement about his work in the daily news paper and

magazines and Mr. Nataraju also prepared visiting cards of his profile. By all these efforts now Mr. Nataraju is

more demanding person in the District and neighbor districts for harvesting of Coconuts and Crown cleaning

along with plant protection work. Now he is fetching an income of Rs. 800-1000 daily by deducting all other

expenditures. He also involved other trainees who got training at our KVK for harvesting of nuts when ever the

more demands comes. Mr. Nataraju proudly says that, the KVK has given good and more effective training

programme where it changes my life style by improving the economic status and because of all these I cleared

the loan of Rs. 50,000/- and purchased new motor cycle and am happy now.

3. Title: Rat control in Plantation trees using local rat traps

Background:

Intervention

Process: Mr. Arun kumar from Tumakuru district Karnataka,, a young progressive farmer have land holdings

of 8 acres. He is involved in cultivation of different Agriculture and horticulture crops such as arecanut,

coconut, banana. Rats pose a major challenge to agriculture, especially after monsoon season. The rodents are

major problem during crop growth in the field and during post harvest storage, as they consume and

contaminate stored food. They also infect livestock feeds, kill poultry and consume their eggs.

Technology: The trap designed by Mr. Arun kumar is a binding wire which is tied to the four corners of an old

bamboo basket and connected to a single plastic thread. The plastic thread is attached to a coconut front that

can be pulled up for down . A snap trap is placed inside the bamboo basket and a chopped coconut kernel piece

attached to it.

Impact

Horizontal Spread: It is low cost technology that promises to provide a good result. Grass root level

technology and methodologies developed by Mr. Arun kumar benefits several farmers and has been accepted

across the region. Nearly 3000 farmers were adopted this low cost technology throughout the state.

Economic Gains: On an average 1500 traps were sold @ Rs. 30 per trap. A single trap can catch upto 15-20

rats daily and 3000 -4000 nuts saved from damage from his 8 acres of land

Employment Generation: This technology can save the labour cost by manual control of rats .

Scientists – Farmer Interaction

The scientists of Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Tumakuru Visited the farm of Mrs. Rekha , Bannihalli (Pt) Tiptur (Tq),

Tumakuru Dt, Karnataka and interacted (Face to Face interaction) regarding the Experience of Mrs. Rekha in

Integrated Farming System and suggested the Problem solving strategies to overcome some difficulties in IFS.

For past 5 years she is involved in Integrated Farming System for sustainable agriculture development. Before

venture into IFS both husband and wife were employees of Govt. institute. They have passion for agriculture

and started involving different activities in farm to get higher yield and income. She involves herself in IFS

activities like growing of coconut, arecanut, banana, sapota, cardamom, clove, pepper, citrus species and forest

trees like Jatropa, teak, etc in an area of 3.09 acres and also involving in dairy farming. In free time she engages

herself in education / tuition up to 10th

standard regarding general knowledge, and educated upto an extent of

500-700 farmers on IFS and ITK’s. She is also involved in vermicomposting and practices rain water harvesting

Snails management in horticulture garden through participatory approach.

Snails are becoming serious pests of horticultural crops like Arecanut, coconut, banana, brinjal, tomato,

chilies, jasmine, aster. This pest is causing economic damage to all these horticultural crops. Farmers locally

control the pest using common. Salt and some of them use metaldehyde that is not available in right time and

harmful to pest and children in the vicinity and also cost intensive.

Crop damage is severe especially in Hemavathi canal areas and poor adoption of the technology against

the snails as it requires/demands group participation results in severe damage to horticulture crops

Refinement of Existing technologies.

Hence, it was proposed to refine the existing technologies.

Alternatives

In order to suitably refine the existing technologies, the following alternatives were formulated by the scientists

themselves in consultation with other specialists.

T1: Farmers not adopting any control measures

T2: Farmers use metaldehyde for snail management

T3: Slightly ripened papaya, Guava, banana, ricebran bait only. Technology is cost effective and organic

farmers come foreword to use the technology option. Snails have to be collected manually and destroy.

T4: Papaya/ Rice brain bait with 10 gms of methomyl in bait kills them.

Implementation of the programme

A training programme on snails management was organized at chikkanahalli Sira taluk and Mathihalli, Tiptur

taluk to educate the farmers about management of snails.

In this training programme, KVK scientists stressed the importance of group approach and conducted the

demonstration with all alternatives and explained about cost-benefit ratio of each technology

Farmers opinion

All the participants expressed their view about using metaldehyde, using slightly ripened fruits like papaya,

banana and hand picking and using ripened fruits with methomyl( lante) as bait.

Farmers opined that using ripened fruits with hand picking is low cost and ecofriendly management

practices(Rs. 500/ha) followed by using ripened fruits with methomyl (Rs 1600/ha) and metaldehyde

chemicals (Rs 6800/ha)

Communication of the technology

The message that the low cost efficient and eco-friendly management technologies involving ripened fruits

without baits and with baits can be effectively utilized for management of snails was communicated to the

field level functionaries of the line departments using various channels such as the research extension interface,

zonal workshop, training programme etc. About 85 farmers who adopted the technology during 2010-11 in an

area of 220ha
