Abstract/Description: | Oilseeds have been the backbone of agricultural economy of India since long. At present, about 26.18 million hectares of land is under oilseeds cultivation. Despite being fi fth largest oilseeds producer in the world there is a large gap in production and demand of edible oilseeds in the country. It is, therefore, necessary to exploit domestic resources to maximize production to ensure edible oil security for the country. In order to enhance the productivity and production potential of oilseeds Ministry of Agriculture and farmers Welfare, Government of India initiated organization of Cluster frontline demonstrations (CFLDs) on oilseeds through Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs) under the National Mission on Oilseeds & Oil Palm (NMOOP) in 2015-16 and subsequently supported conduct of CFLDs on oilseeds under the National Food Security Mission (NFSM) during 2018-19. KVKs in Zone X comprising the states of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu implemented CFLDs on groundnut, sesame, soybean, sunfl ower, saffl ower and castor in Kharif and Rabi seasons. A total of 16646 CFLDs have been implemented by 78 KVKs in 71 districts covering about 6660 ha area during the period 2015-16 to 2018-19. Groundnut is the major oilseed crop in the southern states but the productivity is low especially in the major growing districts of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. CFLDs with drought tolerant varieties of groundnut along with resource conservation practices resulted in 10-30% improvement in productivity. Demonstrations on soybean with improved variety and recommended package of practices resulted in 25q/ha yield. Demonstrations on sunfl ower in Andhra Pradesh gave an average yield of 25q/ha compared to 18q/ha in farmers practice. Demonstrations with new cultivars in saffl ower resulted in enhancing average productivity to 13q/ha (29% higher yield) in Telangana. Demonstrations on sesame with improved variety and practices gave 23% higher yield in Tamil Nadu and 43% higher yield in Andhra Pradesh. Demonstrations on castor with hybrids and improved practices gave 15q/ha under rainfed conditions in scarce rainfall areas of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. In order to meet the increasing gap between production and demand for oilseeds and also reduce the dependency on imports, the initiative on cluster frontline demonstrations (CFLDs) in the oilseed growing districts has contributed signifi cantly in bridging the yield gaps. This publication documents the efforts by KVK scientists in implementing CFLDs on oilseeds across the states of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu. A number of improved varieties and key practices have been identifi ed for scaling up and scaling out. |
