  8. ICPH 2671 in OFT’s (Mah)

  9. OFTs’ of ICPH 2671 in Jharkhand

  10. Ranchi, Jharkhand ICPH 2671 • Seven trials were conducted, Data awaited Local

  11. Yield of ICPH 2671 in OFTs in MP

  12. Dal recovery in ICPH 2671 Protein : 22% Dal recovery: 70% Taste, cooking time & flavour: good as variety

  13. In 2010 Hybrid ICPH 2671 released in Madhya Pradesh as RV ICPH 2671

  14. Hybrids in Myanmar ICPH 2671 hybrid

  15. “2009 Best Farmer Award” for harvesting bumper crop of ICPH 2671 at Chautukoor, Medak district. Andhra Pradesh

  16. Areas Identified for ICPH 2671 Maharashtra-Akola,Solapur,Osmanabad,Washim, Parbhani, Latur and Beed Madhya Pradesh – Jabalpur, Betul, Indore, Seoni, Narsimpur, Mandla, Rewa, ChattarpurTikamgarh, Hoshangabad Karnataka – Bijapur, and Bidar Jharkhand – Ranchi, Garhwa, Palamu, Chatra, Giridh, Dumka, Dhanbad and Gumla

  17. Promotion of Hybrid ICPH 2740 • 180 -190 day maturity • Disease resistant • High yield • Adapted to deep vertisols • Suitable for pure and intercrop • Brown seed color • High quality dal Recommended for parts of Maharashtra, A.P., Karnataka, and Madhya Pradesh

  18. Performance of ICPH 2740 in MLTs’ (4 Years ; 33 Locations) Asha group hybrid

  19. Mean yield of ICPH 2740 in OFTs’

  20. ICPH 2740 in Risod

  21. ICPH 2740 in Basavapur, Medak district

  22. Areas Identified for ICPH 2740 Maharashtra-Amaravati, Jalgaon, Yavatmal, Wardha Andhra Pradesh- Medak, Rangareddy, Nalgonda, Kurnool, Karimnagar, Nizamabad,Ananthpur and Cuddapah Madhya Pradesh – Jabalpur, Betul, Indore, Seoni, Narsimpur, Mandla, Rewa, ChattarpurTikamgarh, Hoshangabad Karnataka – Gulbarga, Bijapur, Bidar and Raichur

  23. Yield of white seeded hybrids in Gujarat K-2010

  24. Seed Production • Pre-requisites • Isolation 500 m or more • Presence of pollinator bees • Availability of pollen for extended periods • Inputs- irrigation, fertilizer, insect control

  25. A x R Seed Production • Row ratio : 4:1 (3:1 or 2:1) • (depending on bee population) • Spacing : Row to Row .. upto 1 metre • Plant to Plant .. upto 8-12 inch • Staggering : Sowings deferred by- - 15d

  26. 1M : 4F R R R R A A A A A Hybrid Seed Production Plot

  27. STAGERRING BLOCK - 1 …… 15 June BLOCK - 2 …… 1 July BLOCK - 3 …… 15 July

  28. Areas identified for seed production in Andhra Pradesh yield kg ha-1 Nizambad (1750) R.Reddy (1258) Warangal (1063) ICRISAT (1100)

  29. Areas Identified for Seed Production in Madhya Pradesh

  30. Hybrid Seed Production Technology • It is as easy as other crops • Honey bees played important role • Proper agronomy • Environment also plays an imp. role • Suitable climate • Production plots surrounded by bushes that harbor pollinators • water body near plots helps a lot

  31. Problems identified • Inadequate isolation • Poor crop management • Non-availability of pollinating insects • Inadequate roguing • Water-logging

  32. Suggested Improvements in Seed Production Technology • Fine tune agro practices • Identify suitable areas [thru pilot seed production programs] • Train seed producers • Bee hives if required

  33. Comparative income from seed prdn.

  34. SEED Quality control • P’pea is a crop of 180-250 d • TradlGoT takes more time • Use of morphological markers (20 -25 days) • Use of molecular markers (6 days)

  35. Steps Taken to Produce Pure Hybrid Seed • Prodn of new nucleus seed (P1 x P1) • Strict isolation for breeder seed • Multiple rogueing operations • Using the purest seed lots • Frequent monitoring

  36. Steps taken to produce pure hybrid seed • Select good seed producers • Training and monitoring • Using molecular markers • Incorporate leaf markers • Avoiding physical mixtures

  37. Use of Leaf Marker Male Female Hybrid Hybrid NormalNormal Obtuse

  38. Use of SSR Markers

  39. Looking ahead … Grow hybrids on 1,00,000 ha (2014) *******

  40. Looking ahead … Million $ Question -- can we do it ?? • Identify seed producers • Organize pilot seed programs in different areas • Training of seed producers • Motivate seed companies • Follow quality measures

  41. Plan for 2012 (parent seed multi.)

  42. Plan for 2013 (Hybrid seed prod.) 2013 season plan

  43. Plan for 2014 (commercial crop) Note: Seed rate 5 kg/ha

  44. .and the final question ? CAN WE BREAK THE YIELD BARRIER IN PIGEONPEA *******

  45. TARGET 4-5 t / ha Crop mgmt, new hybrid, high input are the key

  46. How to achieve the National Goal of self-sufficiency • Develop new high yielding hybrids • Develop hybrids for specific areas • High level of disease resistance • Seed quality control • Adopt agronomy package • Provide inputs • Encourage farmers – good price • High quality research back-up

  47. Monitoring of pigeonpea hybrids in Farmers’ fields by NFSM expert Dr RK Gupta 2011
