Abstract/Description: | With an aim to increase the productivity, production and quality of Field, Agri- Horticulture-Fish and livestock specific and time bound R&D activities were undertaken during the period. A joint exploration and collection mission targeting horticulturally important crop wild relatives from Great Nicobar, Little Nicobar and Nancowrie group of Islands was undertaken, wherein 213 important wild/cultivated horticulturally important plant species were collected. Preliminary analysis indicated presence of more than 24 new records of these plants. Technology for open field cultivation of Arachnis flosaeris(Spider Orchid) for year round production was standardized .Five unique rice land races (Black Burma, Khushbayya, White Burma, Mushley and Nyaw-in) grown by Karen community of North & Middle Andaman got registered as farmers’ varieties by PPVFRA, New Delhi. Hay, haylage and silage production technology for rice fodder from C-14-8 variety was developed. Under NICRA-CGP project, performance of coconut + banana and other arable crops in tsunami affected lands were evaluated under different land shaping methods. Phenotypic and molecular characterization of Andaman local duck is the first report from India and also the genetic root of Trinket cattle beside whole mitochondrial DNA of Andaman Buffalo has been sequenced and characterized. A new species of snake head Channa royi was reported which is the first description, since 1935 of a new freshwater fish species from the Islands with integrated taxonomy. Further new records of Snapper, Lutjanus xanthopinnis and marine goby Amblygobius phaleana was also first report for the Islands and India respectively. One Patent on methods of determining sex of non-ratite birds has been filed during the period. Case study revealed that Noni cultivation across Andaman & Nicobar Islands for avocation in challenged areas after Tsunami 2004 has increased from 18 ha to 97 ha under single firm, fetching a BC ratio of 1.39. Under Mera Gaon Mera Gaurav 57 villages across all the three districts of Andaman & Nicobar Islands were adopted. One hundred four agromet advisory bulletins in English and Hindi were issued through print and electronic media. Six hundred and nine SMS based agro-advisories were sent on every Tuesday and Friday both in Hindi and English. Policy Brief’s on the development of open sea cage culture, marine fisheries sector of the Island and EDP on coconut was prepared and shared with the stakeholders. Umbrella memorandum of understanding was signed between ICAR-CIARI and West Bengal University of Agriculture & Fisheries Science, Kolkata, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswa Vidyalaya, Nadia, Tamil Nadu Jayalalitha Fisheries University, Chennai and OUAT, Bhubaneshwar for the purpose of conducting research related to the thesis requirement of the students who are pursing MVSC/MFSC/PhD programme from the Island and Mainland. |
