Leading States in Lentil Production (2010-11)
Technologies for Increasing Lentil Production High yielding varieties Production Technologies Integrated Disease and Insect Management
Varieties with specific features • Short duration : IPL 81, JL1, JL3, KLS 218, WBL 77, Asha, Ranjan, HUL 57,Subrata • Rice fallow : NDL 1, KLS 218, WBL 77, HUL 57 • Large seeded : IPL 406, Sheri, JL 3, VL 507, L 4076, K 75 • Rust resistance : HUL 57, KLS 218, NarendraMasoor 1,Narendra Masoor 2, Pant L 4, Pant L 5, DPL 62 • Wilt resistance : DPL 62, JL 3
Sowing and Seed Rate Eastern U.P., Bihar- Second fortnight of November M.P., Bundelkhand: First fortnight of October Chhattisgarh: Sowing depends on cessation of monsoon rain and maturity of rice crop in utera system
Seed Priming- a simple but effective trick Soaking seeds in water for 6-8 hrs and sowing of primed seed at 8-10 days before harvest of rice Seed priming in potassium hydroxide solution (5%) Seed priming in nutrient solution (0.01% ammonium molybdate) • Backstop Research • Sowing methods for primed • seed with minimum tillage • Interaction between Molybednum • in solution, Rhizobium and • seed priming in Acid soils Improves germination, growth, plant stand and yield
Fertilizer Application The fertilizer application in intercropping should be based on proportionate area under each crop in the system.
Foliar Nutrition- a low cost effective intervention Spray of 2% urea/ DAP @ pre-flowering stage • Backstop Research • Nutrition formulation with • micronutrients, growth • hormones and PGPR • Seed palleting with nutrients Effective in both under relay cropping or zero tillage system
Seed Treatment – a promising way • Backstop Research • Biocompatibility with biofertilizers and Trichodermavirideor Pseudomonas • Microbial characterization of selected rice fallow soils
Water Management • Flower initiation and pod filling stages are critical for moisture stress. • Moisture stress throughout the crop cycle reduces yield by 50% • Two irrigations (about 140 mm depth of water) at flower initiation and pod filling stages
Managing problem of water stagnation in Rice- fallow fields Drainage channel 30 x 30 cm around the field
Pendimethalin 30 EC 1.0 kg/ha fb PE Quizalofop @ 50g/ha Use of herbicides- an important intervention Pendimethain 30EC 1.0 kg/ha + Imazethapyr 2EC @ 0.75-1.0 kg /ha
Technology for Rice Fallows • High yielding wilt and rust resistant varieties: KLS 218, HUL 57, NM 1, Pant L 639, Pant L 406 • Soaking seeds in water for 6-8 hrs (Seed priming) • Sowing 6-8 days before harvest of rice • Foliar spray of 2% urea/ DAP • Yield gain: 35% • About 5 lakh ha area can be brought under Utera system in Bihar, WB, Eastern UP, Jharkhand and Chhatisgarh (Kg/ha) Lentil (170) FLDs
Mechanization Need B A C D • (A)Opening furrow, placing fertilizer, seeds and covering of seeds (B) Manual furrow opener (C) Manually operated IIPR No- Till Drill (D) Tractor Operated Happy Seeder
Integrated Disease Management • Before Sowing • Deep summer ploughing • Selection of disease resistant varieties • At the time of sowing: • Timely sowing to avoid rust • Seed treatment with Carbendazim + Thiram (1 + 2 g kg-1 seed), or Trichoderma (4 g) + carboxin (1 g) kg-1 seed • Intercropping with linseed (1:1) • Crop rotation with cereals for 3-5 years • Standing crop: • Regular monitoring of the crop • Foliar spray of dimethoate 0.03 % in case of aphid infestation • Foliar spray of wettable sulphur (0.2-0.3%) or mancozeb (0.2%) against rust (Number of spray depends on the disease severity) • Removal of diseased plant debris
