In Biodynamic farming system, maximum reliance is placed on self-regulatory agro-ecosystem locally or ‘farm derived’ renewable resources. Use of external inputs is as minimized as possible. Experiments were conducted on 3-yrs-old plant of guava cv. Allahabad Safeda using biodynamic preparations, biofertilizers and composts. Maximum number of fruits and yield (92 & 13.69 kg tree-1 & 283 & 40.11kg tree-1) were consistently recorded for 2 years from the trees, applied with 20kg FYM inoculated with Azotobacter in comparison to 21.37kg tree-1 fruit with recommended doses of fertilizer application. Fruit quality parameters, particularly TSS (16.20°Brix) were improved with application of 10kg FYM along with celrich. On the basis of these observations an experiment was further conducted by integrating four organic farming systems on guava. Fruit yield was maximum (38.88kg tree-1) in trees, which were exposed to Homa atmosphere followed by 29.28kg with Homa+Rishi Krishi and Homa+Panchgavaya. TSS was maximum (12.0° Brix) with Homa + Rishi Krishi and Homa + Panchgavaya, while ascorbic acid was more (165mg100g fruit-1) with FYM treated plants.Institutional PublicationsItem Open Access Impact of novel low cost technological intervenons on expenditure pattern of landless and sub-marginal farmers(South Asian Journal of Experimental Biology, 2013-11) Rai, R.B.; Dhama, K.; Singh, B.; Saminathan, M.; Chakraborty, Sandip; Tiwari, R.; R.A.Ram; Damodaran, T.Approximately 50% rural populaon is facing a major challenge of sustainable and reasonable livelihood security. In the present study, low cost‐highly profitable technologies were intervened to landless and sub‐marginal farmers for their socio‐economic upliment. The study was conducted during 2009‐2013 in Barabanki and Raebareli districts of Uar Pradesh, India. Base line survey in 42 villages (700 farmers) was conducted, intervenons iniated in mid 2009 and later, these were expanded in 65 villages (5250 families). For pre‐intervenon period, 6 months average was considered, whereas in post‐intervenon period 12 months average was taken in comparing expenditure paern. The farmers were intervened with novel technologies viz., rural poultry producon and purchase of bovine and goat, mineral based estrous inducon, mass prevenon, high yielding perennial fodder on waste land, banana as cash crop and family nutrion, lemon, guava and seasonal vegetables in courtyard, bio‐enhancer for supporng vegetables and fruit plants. Sodic or barren unused land was transplanted with guava intercropped with vegetables and banana seedlings. The expenditure on food and clothing in pre‐intervenon period was cosng average of 71.4% and only 28.6% monthly earning was available for other family needs, while in postinterven on period, in spite of improved food, nutrion and clothing quality, the expenditure was only 23.2% of total income. In conclusion, low input technologies whenever are intervened aiming higher profitability the impact on socio‐economic status is visible within shortest me. It is a beer opon if governments create the infra‐structural facilies and provide support with technological innovaon for rural poverty alleviaon.Institutional PublicationsItem Open Access Studies on perofrmance of different culinar cultivars of Banana(South Indian Horticulture, TNAU, Coimbatore, 1989) R.A.Ram; J.Prasad; Pathak, R.K.
