Whole Farm Demonstrations

(Period FROM 2005 TO 2006)

Under the programme ‘Whole Farm Demonstration” (WFDP) selected

farmers belong to different categories (small, medium and large) with their farmers
Farm Management Extension activities concerned to farm planning attended to
assist the farmer in all-round development of primary objective of the objectives
of this programme are,
1. To encourage the farmers to take up improved crop cultivation practice.
 2. To assist farmers to develop other subsidiary enterprises (dairy, sericulture,
poultry, etc.).
3. To educate farmers on farm, account keeping for making rational decision
at farm level.

The bench mark year information for the individual farmer used to develop
suitable crop plans for all seasons in the year, three crop plans were implemented
with the assistance of Assistant Professor working at taluk level and farmer
himself. At different stages of crops where the farmers experience problems
concern Subject Matter Specialists help was taken to give appropriate solutions.
Immediately, after the harvest of crops costs and returns for all crops were
analyzed and results were used to educate the farmers on taking suitable decisions
at farm level for effective use of resources.
One farmer identified under Whole Farm Demonstration. Goolappa Akki
of Yemmetti, Kalaghatagi taluk, who is having 14 acres of land, 10 acres irrigated
and 4 acres rainfed have been guided regarding “Integrated Farming System”.
They have been introduced

1. Sweet sorghum – high fodder yielding variety

2. Low cost inputs cropping such as Tricoderma seed treatment, IPM in cotton

Summary and Success Story of Whole Farm Demonstration

Integrated Farming System Demonstrations
Integrated Farming System activities were in the fields of Gulappa s. Akki
of village, Yemmetti, Kalaghatagi taluk during 2003. The farmer was having 14
acres of land holding with bore well irrigation facilities at Bench mark year
(before 2003). The farmer was growing field crops like paddy, maize, chilli,
sorghum and soybean. He was also maintaining dairy with few buffaloes.
Further, he was having mango plantations. After the initiations he was introduced
to the latest technologies in crops productions including high yielding varieties
and hybrids. Sapota (DSH-1 & 2) as a Horticulture fruit component was
introduced in 2 acres area. Further, he was encouraged to strengthen his dairy with
introduction of Murra baffaloes and cultivation of fodder cerops (Jowar SSV-74,
S.A. Maize and grasses). Preparation of balance cattle feed were also introduced.
During subsequent 2nd and 3rd years vermicomposting production Unit (4 Units)
were started to increase the soil fertility. Azolla production as a supplementary
feed to dairy animals was also introduced. Fuish culture was also initiated during
the beginning of 3rd year in the existing farm pond which has started yielding
recently. In field crops seed production activities were initiated (Ex. GPBD-4 in
Groundnut). Farm forestry activities with plantation of teak and other forestry
species were planted on the bunds.
With results of above all activities at the end of 3rd year of study the
economic parameters indicated that the net income of the farmer was increased to
66.08, 113.88 and 162.16 per cent respectively during I, II and III ehyars as
compared to bench mark year. Further, the BC ratio was also increased from 1.19
to 2.41 per cent at the end of 3rd year.
