Finalized year-round vegetable production home-garden models able to produce 260-350 kg/ 36 m2 area are established in Punjab and Jharkhand. Models were promoted in 350 and 1500 households in Punjab and Jharkhand, respectively during 2008-2010. Chadha, M.L., Yang, R., Sain, S.K., Triveni, C., Pal, R., Ravishankar, M. and Ghai, T.R. 2012. Home gardens: an intervention for improved health and nutrition in selected states of India. Acta Horticulturae. 937: 1049-1055 (ISHS). (2007-11). The introduction of such gardens into the tribal community in Jharkhand State in India, which are specifically designed by AVRDC to include nutrient-dense and well-adapted species for the benefit of all family members, have proved to be of considerable nutritional and economic value. These gardens have tripled per capita vegetable consumption from 0.3–0.5 to 0.9–1.5 kg per week21 , halved weekly expenditure on other vegetables, and introduced new vegetables to participants’ diets (Keatinge et al 2012).
  • On-farm production of Biocontrol agents: Developed simple, low-cost on-farm production technologies for mass production of biocontrol agents and microbial biopesticides. The laboratory & training center was established at NIPHM in 2013. Trained 402 state & SAUs officials in 17 trainings (ten or more days) and 788 farmers in three days training programmes. The success of the technology and efforts could be observed in the states like Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka where the use of T. harzianum was demonstrated in 1680 ha of farmer’s fields during 2013-14 to 2015-16 through Tobacco Board. The farmers were able to get more crop yield (125 to 375 kg/ha increase) by reducing the disease problems viz. damping-off, basal root rots, black shank, frog-eye leaf spot etc. even after minimizing 3-4 chemicals pesticide sprays in tobacco crop. In Kerala, 300 farmers have started production and use of Trichoderma sp. (> 1010 c.f.u./gm) in about Rs. 10-15/- per kg. Farmers using bio-intensive strategies have reportedly earned more profit. The technology is also being promoted in the Meghalaya state under RKVY project and in 150 villages covering 56 Blocks in 16 districts of Tamil Nadu. (2013-15) (Sain, and Sathyanarayana 2016.).
