| Abstract: | Groundnut a very important
oilseed crop is a member of leguminosae family grown during kharif season.
It has a very significant
place in oilseed crops. Groundnut is grown in India on very large scale and
India
contribute to 22% of world
production. Groundnut is grown in 8 million ha and produces 7.3 million
tonnes. Groundnut crop is sown
in 0.276 million hectare area in Rajasthan and its production is 0.478
million tonnes. Before
implementation of IPM module in the area IPM benchmark survey of 40 randomly
selected farmers of village
Vallabhnagar of dist. Udaipur, Rajasthan in kharif 2007 season was conducted.
Analysis was done of this
survey data. As per the survey 85% farmers knew that white grub,
collar rot and leaf blight
were the key pests of the area. 8% farmers use seed treatment with fungicides
and only 15% farmers use
pesticide spray. Only 12.5% farmers agree that pesticide spray is effective and
useful. 5% farmers have heard
about IPM but only 7.5% use bio-pesticides as a component of IPM. After
analysis of survey data of
farmers IPM module was developed and synthesized for this location/specific area.
IPM technology was implemented on the concept of ‘Farmers Field School. After
implementation
of IPM module in the village
farmers obtained 12.8 q/ha yield in year 2008 and 15.26 q/ha in
year 2009 while in Non-IPM,
they obtained only 7.16q/ha and 11.57q/ha, respectively and they also
got more net profit from IPM
groundnut crop. In this research paper results of three years have been
used and shown. |
