2.2 Description of Agro-climatic Zone & major agro ecological situations (based on soil and topography) Sl.
No
Agro-climatic
Zone Characteristics
1 High Hills
Temperate Dry
Zone
The entire district (East longitude 7646’29” to 7841’34”, North latitude 3144’57” to 3559’53”) falls under
the High Hills Temperate Dry Zone of Himachal Pradesh. The area is snow bound from November to March
and is characterized with very low rainfall (about 250 mm). The soil of the zone is sandy loam with low
fertility status and almost all the crops respond to the application of Nitrogen and Phosphorus. No crop can be
raised without assured supply of irrigation water. Crops are raised on sloping fields. Major problem of the area
is soil erosion and water management. Most of the area is prone to glaciers and the top soil is removed every
year through glaciers. The major crops grown in the area are pea, potato, barley, hops, buckwheat, temperate
vegetables, oat, kuth and manu etc. Of late apple cultivation has caught the fancy of farmers with area under it
increasing at a rapid pace.
Agro ecological
situation Characteristics
2 AES - 1 This situation lies between elevations of 2501 – 3250m amsl. This zone comprises of parts of Udaipur and
Keylong sub divisions. The majority of the area of this zone is having sloping land. The landforms are mid
hills to low hills. The soils are shallow in depth and the majority of the soils are light textured (Sandy loam).
Major crops grown are pea, potato, barley buckwheat, kuth, hops and temperate vegetables. Apple and other
temperate fruits are also grown in this zone.
AES - 2 The elevation of this AES lies between 3251 – 4250 m amsl. This zone comprises parts of Udaipur, Keylong
and Kaza sub divisions. The soils are shallow in depth and sandy loam in texture. There is only one crop
season from May – September. The area is suitable for quality potato seed, pea and temperate vegetables.
Other crops grown are barley and buckwheat.
AES - 3 AES – 3 lies above an elevation of 4251 m amsl. This zone comprises parts of Udaipur, Keylong and Kaza sub
divisions. The majority of the soils of this AES are light textured and unconsolidated sands and pebbles. The
area is suitable for cultivation of pea and barley.
2.3 Soil type/s S. No Soil type Characteristics Area in ha
1 Sandy to
sandy loam
In general, soils of the district are sandy to sandy loam in texture and neutral to alkaline
in reaction and low in fertility. While the soils in Lahaul valley, in some parts, are loam
to clay loam with abundance of gravel and rich in fertility, in Spiti valley these are silty
loam in texture and neutral to alkaline in reaction with low water holding capacity. These
soils are low in nitrogen and medium to high in phosphorus and potassium. The soil
strata are loose in both the valleys. The water holding capacity also varies from poor to
medium. These soils are prone to erosion due to cultivation on steep slopes, splashing
floods, flow irrigation and overgrazing.

7 Feedback, matrix scoring of various technology parameters done
through farmer’s participation / other scoring techniques
Highest incidence of disease (Late and early blight) was recorded in the existing popular variety (Kufri Jyoti) while it was lowest in Kufri Himalini. The highest tuber yield was obtained from Kufri Himalini followed by Kufri Giriraj, Kufri Girdhari and Kufri Jyoti in that order; the last named variety gave lowest tuber yield.
8 Final recommendation for micro level situation Kufri Himalini can be recommended for cultivation in the Pattan Valley of the district though it needs to be tested for other areas/ valleys.
9 Constraints identified and feedback for research i) Non – availability of the seed of the newly released varieties
ii) High yielding disease resistant variety should be developed and released at the earliest
10 Process of farmer’s participation and their reaction The OFT was planned on the demand of the farmers of the area who wanted to change the existing varieties of
Kufri Jyoti and Kufri Chandermukhi but were ignorant about the new varieties that can replace them. The farmers
were actively involved in the regular monitoring of the trial and were satisfied with the performance of Kufri
Himalini and Kufri Giriraj varieties and also gave regular feedback about different parameters

Success Stories/ Case Studies 1:
Title:
Introduction of high yielding Toria as second crop after harvesting of pea crop in Lahaul valley
Introduction:
The cropping season is only six months and the farmers were taking only one crop and in some areas after pea a short
duration very low yielding strain Younger was being taken. A need was field to introduce a high yielding strain of mustard
which was able to mature in 65-70 days period and could be taken after pea crop
KVK Intervention:
The KVK introduced high yielding short duration (65-70 days) mustard genotype (Bhawani) suitable for cultivation after
pea in Pattan valley of Lahaul.
Output:
The local Younger variety was giving only 2-3 q/ha yield whereas the introduced Bhawani variety of Toria was able to
yield 6-7 q/ha.
Outcome:
As compared to previous year 100% cropping intensity in selected area in Pattan valley it has now increased to 200per
cent.
Impact:
An area of about 75 ha. has been brought under the practice of pea followed by Toria variety (Bhawani) with an
additional returns of Rs 45,000 to Rs 48,000.
Success Stories/ Case Studies 2:
Title:
Introduction of Red American Race of Vermiculture
Introduction:
Vermicompost has been found to be a very good source of balanced nutrition for plants in resource poor regions of
Lahaul & Spiti where availability of biomass is a problem.
KVK Intervention:
KVK, Kukumseri established one vermicompost units in 2008 with promising race of earthworms, Eisinia foetida. The
culture was multiplied at the demonstration unit. The centre has popularized the vermicomposting technology among the farmers
of Lahaul and Spiti District through trainings, awareness programmes and demonstrations. KVK, Lahaul & Spiti st Kukumseri has
established more than 200 vermicomposting units in 2010 and more than 100 units in 2011 at various locations. The farmers are
multiplying the vermiculture at their fields & distributing among other farmers, thus helping in horizontal expansion of the
technology.
78
APR 2013-14
Output:
The farmers have started producing their own Vermicompost and using in horticulture and vegetable crops.
Outcome:
Previously the farmers were using compost which was low in nutrients and heavy doses were required to meet the crop
requirements.
Impact:
With the production of Vermicompost, the farmers have started growing off season vegetables cultivation including
exotic vegetables as well as fruits.
10.D. Give details of innovative methodology or innovative technology of Transfer of Technology developed
and used during the year.
The root rot complex is the major problem in the cash crop of peas in valley. Seed treatment can reduce the intensity
of this problem The KVK through demonstrations /OFTs and trainings has popularized this technology and a very
good response has been found at field level.
Previously only one crop of peas was taken in cropping season .The KVK has promoted the cultivation of high
yielding variety of Toria (Bhawani) and Oats (Palampur 1)for cultivation after peas. About 206 ha has come under
peas-toria and peas oats cultivation thereby increasing the cropping intensity and the returns per unit area.
As labour is very scarce in season and the weeds control manually account for the major cost of cultivation. The KVK
has promoted the use of herbicides in vegetables, peas, potato through OFTs /demonstrations and trainings. In valley
now farmers has started use of herbicides and an area of around 27 hectare has come under these.
As potato is the major cash crop of valley and with climate change the late blight has also taken very serious place in
reduced production of this crop. With different new strains coming a major initiative has been undertaken for control
the spread of this disease. The demonstrations, survey and advisories are given in time for control of these diseases
through KVK.

11.B. Cases of large scale adoption
(Please furnish detailed information for each case)
Since its inception this Kendra has been promoting seed treatment in pea to check the incidence of root rot / wilt
complex. The Kendra has laid out OFTs, demonstrations and conducted a large number of trainings in different
villages of district on this topic and has motivated people to adopt seed treatment. As a result of the efforts put in
by the Kendra, farmers have started treating their seed with various fungicides, particularly Carbendazim
(Bavistin) and this movement has spread to many villages. Also the Department of Agriculture of Himachal
Pradesh Government, which has made a policy, is promoting the same technology that every seed that is sown in
the field should be treated seed.
The cropping season in Lahaul & Spiti is short and only one crop can be taken in a year. However, in some parts
of the district pea crop is harvested in the month of July and for three months fields remain vacant or put under
fodder production. Some farmers of the district, particularly in Pattan valley, were cultivating ‘Yungar’ variety of
mustard, which gave very low yields as it was prone to shattering losses and also the oil content was less. The
Kendra promoted the cultivation of short duration variety of toria by conducting trainings and conducting
demonstrations. The farmers appreciated the new variety as it gave significantly higher yield and was not prone
to shattering losses and have adopted this variety. Presently most of the farmers in the Pattan valley in the district
have stopped cultivating ‘Yungar’ and have started cultivation of the toria crop (Bhawani).
11.C. Details of impact analysis of KVK activities carried out during the reporting period
Weeds are the major problem in all the crops. Due to labour shortage, chemical control of weeds is gaining
acceptance amongst the farming community. KVK is popularizing this technology amongst the farming community
of the district.
83
APR 2013-14
Farmers are adopting seed treatment in almost all the crops. This has been made possible by the efforts put in by the
KVK in terms of organizing trainings on the topic, conducting on – farm trials and conducting demonstrations on the
topic.
Farmers have started using micro nutrient formulations in established or newly planted orchards to prevent
deficiencies. This has been made possible by the KVK by organizing trainings and demonstrations on its use in
different villages of the district.
Farmers have started growing high yielding varieties of rajmash instead of growing mixture of varieties.
Farmers have started cultivation of exotic vegetables.
Farmers are also taking cultivating the off season vegetables under protected conditions.

ANNEXURE-II
Success story / Case studies
Success Stories/ Case Studies 1:
Title:
Introduction of high yielding Toria as second crop after harvesting of pea crop in Lahaul valley
Introduction:
The cropping season is only six months and the farmers were taking only one crop and in some areas after pea a short
duration very low yielding strain Younger was being taken. A need was field to introduce a high yielding strain of
mustard which was able to mature in 65-70 days period and
could be taken after pea crop
KVK Intervention:
The KVK introduced high yielding short duration (65-70
days) mustard genotype (Bhawani) suitable for
cultivation after pea in Pattan valley of Lahaul.
Output:
The local Younger variety was giving only 2-3 q/ha yield
whereas the introduced Bhawani variety of Toria was able to
yield 6-7 q/ha.
Outcome:
As compared to previous year 100% cropping intensity in
selected area in Pattan valley it has now increased to 200per
cent.
Impact:
An area of about 75 ha. has been brought under the practice
of pea followed by Toria variety (Bhawani) with an
additional returns of Rs45,000 to Rs48,000.

Success Stories/ Case Studies 2:
Title:
Introduction of Red American Race of Vermiculture
Introduction:
Vermicompost has been found to be a very good source of balanced nutrition for plants in resource poor regions of
Lahaul & Spiti where availability of biomass is a problem.
KVK Intervention:
KVK, Kukumseri established one vermicompost units in 2008 with promising race of earthworms, Eisinia foetida.
The culture was multiplied at the demonstration unit. The center has popularized the vermicomposting technology
among the farmers of Lahaul and Spiti District through trainings, awareness programmes and demonstrations. KVK,
Lahaul & Spiti st Kukumseri has established more than 200 vermicomposting units in 2010 and more than 100 units in
2011 at various locations. The farmers are multiplying the vermiculture at their fields & distributing among other
farmers, thus helping in horizontal expansion of the technology.
Output:
The farmers have started producing their own Vermicompost and using in horticulture and vegetable crops.
Outcome:
Previously the farmers were using compost which was low in nutrients and heavy doses were required to meet the
crop requirements.
Impact:
With the production of Vermicompost, the farmers have started growing off season vegetables cultivation including
exotic vegetables as well as fruits.

Annexure-III Cases of large scale adoption
Since its inception this Kendra has been promoting seed treatment in pea to check the incidence of root
rot / wilt complex. The Kendra has laid out OFTs, demonstrations and conducted a large number of
trainings in different villages of district on this topic and has motivated people to adopt seed treatment.
As a result of the efforts put in by the Kendra, farmers have started treating their seed with various
fungicides, particularly Carbendazim (Bavistin) and this movement has spread to many villages. Also
the Department of Agriculture of Himachal Pradesh Government, which has made a policy, is
promoting the same technology that every seed that is sown in the field should be treated seed.
The cropping season in Lahaul & Spiti is short and only one crop can be taken in a year. However, in
some parts of the district pea crop is harvested in the month of July and for three months fields remain
vacant or put under fodder production. Some farmers of the district, particularly in Pattan valley, were
cultivating ‘Yungar’ variety of mustard, which gave very low yields as it was prone to shattering losses
and also the oil content was less. The Kendra promoted the cultivation of short duration variety of toria
by conducting trainings and conducting demonstrations. The farmers appreciated the new variety as it
gave significantly higher yield and was not prone to shattering losses and have adopted this variety.
Presently most of the farmers in the Pattan valley in the district have stopped cultivating ‘Yungar’ and
have started cultivation of the toria crop (Bhawani).
