Abstract/Description: | ICAR-Indian Grassland and Fodder Research Institute, Jhansi, is an unique institute with the mandate of conducting research purely on grasslands and fodder crops both annual and perennial grasses. Institute has sincerely served the nation for 57 years successfully, and has achieved several milestones in generation of need based and tailor-made forage technologies with an ultimate aim to serve the farming community with green and sustainable production processes. It is the only institute in Asia researching solely on grasslands and fodder crops, also performs grasslands development and management. The institute is achieving successes of multi-disciplinary research composed of soil-plant-animal components connecting both plant and animal research. Shortage of green and dry fodder is the major and continuous challenge of the nation, for which institute is thriving on multi-directions with the focus to meet the demand through technological interventions and development of high yielding fodder varieties suitable for changing climate. The institute consists of seven well-defined divisions viz., crop improvement, crop production, grassland & silvipasture management, farm machinery and post harvest technology, seed technology, plant animal relationship and social science with multi-disciplinary scientists and three regional stations located at three agro-climatic zones. Institute is focussing on nine specialised programmes of forage research, with multi-disciplinary, inter-divisional and inter-institutional approach to address basic, strategic and applied research needs of the nation. During 2018-19, three varieties, JHO-2012-2 of oat; JBSC-1 of berseem and JGCT-2013-3 of Clitoria were notified; four new varities viz., JHO-2015-1 of oat for north eastern region; one of each of C. ciliaris, Bundel anjan-4 and C. setigerus, Bundel dhaman-1 and one interspecific cross of Pennisetum glaucum x P. squamulatum was identified as BBS hybrid-1 for cultivation in the country. One novel genetic stock of Pennisetum orientale (6x) [INGR 18026] and two of Panicum maximum (7x and 11x) [INGR 18024 and INGR 18025] were registered. Oat, berseem and red clover new entries were contributed for MLT in AICRP-FC trials. In addition, 73 forage germplasms from Assam, Megalaya and Jammu & Kashmir were collected, and technologies for increased outputs from sole, mixed and inter-cropping patterns, integrated farming system as well as horti- and silvi-pasture models, round the year fodder production models were developed. Institute has developed grasslands in Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Bihar and Karnataka in association with state governments and NGOs. Various outreach programmes in Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir and all over the country through Farmer FIRST, TSP, SCSP, MGMG (Mera Gaon Mera Gaurav) allowed us to showcase our technologies. To strengthen the fodder seed chain and availability of quality seeds to the end users, the institute has supplied 16.47 tonnes breeder seeds for further multiplication and 17.92 tonnes TFL seeds directly supplied to the farming community, besides 4.81 lakhs rooted slips of perennial grasses have been sold. |
