  1. PROGRESS OF THE PROJECTS Supported by National Food Security Mission of India Review Meeting NewDelhiSeptember 2, 2011 Kb Saxena ICRISAT

  2. Project # 1 Taking Pigeonpea Hybrids to the Doorsteps of Farmers

  3. Highlights of Hybrid Project Hybrid pigeonpea technology developed, tested , and transferred to ICAR and seed companies Hybrids performed very well in pure and intercrop High yielding hybrids with 28-60% advantage in farmers’ fields identified Hybrid ICPH 2671 released in Madhya Pradesh Hybrid ICPH 2740 performing well in Mah,Kar,AP Under good management some hybrids yielded > 5000 kg/ha

  4. Achievements ….Contd On-farm validation of ICPH 2671, 2740 completed in AP, Mah, Kar, Jharkhand, and MP Early maturing and white seeded hybrids are now available BEST FARMER AWARD received by a farmer in AP for harvesting @ 3250 kg/ha yield and profit @85000/ha Hybrid seed production areas identified MP -- Jabalpur, Indore, Rewa, Katni, Seoni, Tikamgarh AP ---- Warangal, Medak, Nizamabad, Nalgonda Kar -- Bellary

  5. “2009 Best Farmer Award” for a bumper crop of ICPH 2671 in Andhra Pradesh

  6. Constraints Identified • Need more cooperation from Govt seed agencies • Seed production standards required • Seed production in farmers’ fields need close monitoring • Appropriate agronomy should be followed Increased emphasis on parent seed production with quality control

  7. Project # 2 Exploiting Host Plant Resistance in Grain Legumes for Helicoverpa Management Under Rainfed Conditions in India

  8. Objectives • Identification of chickpea and pigeonpea lines with resistance to Helicoverpa. • Study effect of Helicoverpa-tolerant cultivars on ETLs, reduction in pesticide use, and their interaction with bio-control agents. • Study effectiveness of Helicoverpa-tolerant lines in IPM and sustainable crop production • Technology exchange and capacity building

  9. Chickpea • Six lines were found to have less Helicoverpa damage with rating of <5.0 as compared to 9 in control . • Selected lines produced > 1,000 kg/ ha yield under unprotected conditions. • In an international screening nursery ICC 14364, ICC 14872, ICCL 86111, ICCV 10, ICC 506 EB, ICCV 09104, and ICCV 09118 exhibited moderate levels of resistance across locations. • In OFTs the yield of ICCV 07105 (1921 kg/ ha) and ICCV 07106 (1738 kg/ha) was significantly greater than control JG 11 (1185 kg/ha).

  10. Performance of Helicoverpa-tolerant lines in OFTs Pigeonpea • ICPL 20058 (933 kg/ ha), ICPHaRL 4985-4 (1081 kg/ha), ICPHaRL 4989-7 (760 kg/ha), yielded more than control ICP 8863 (444 kg/ ha). •  In Tandur(A P), yields of ICPL 332 WR ranged from 812 to 1250 kg/ ha, and that of Maruti from 788 to 1076 kg/ha. • Most farmers reported a better control and less insecticide use in ICPL 332 WR than that of control. • Varieties with tolerance to pod borer gave more yield in combination with insecticide protection than the susceptible cultivars.

  11. Helicoverpa-resistant variety ICPL 332WR – in farmers’ fields

  12. Project 3Improving heat tolerancein chickpea for warm growing conditions

  13. Increasing incidence of heat stress in C’pea • Increasing area under late sown conditions • Fluctuations and increase in temperatures due to climate change • Large shift in chickpea area from northern India to Southern India

  14. Field screening for heat tolerance at Patancheru Reproductive phase Reproductive phase Crop season Summer season

  15. Large genetic variation for heat tolerance in chickpea Sensitive Tolerant

  16. Heat Tolerant Suceptible

  17. Research progress • Several heat tolerant germplasm and breeding lines identified • Pollen viability was the key trait for sensitivity. • Molecular mapping of heat tolerance genes is in progress. • Segregating populations developed for developing heat tolerant cultivars Tolerant Sensitive

  18. Release of heat tolerant variety Heat tolerant ICCV 92944 released as “JG 14” in MP for late sown conditions

  19. Chickpea in Rice fallow Project # 4

  20. Area (m ha)under rice fallow Source: Subbarao et al. (2001)

  21. Goal To increase production and productivity of C’Pea Approach To bridge yield gap using improved technologies Focus Districts with high potential but low productivity • Project Sites • Chhattisgarh: Durg, Raipur, Rajnandgaon, Kwarda • M P: Jabalpur, Damoh, Rewa, Satna

  22. The Technology

  23. Highlights IPPPT, VLSS, Capacity building Objective 1: Demonstrations, Objective 2: Village level seed system Objective 3: Capacity Building / Training

  24. Highlights Backstop Research- Problems Faced 1. Mechanization and crop establishment ? • Indira seed-fertilizer drill – Limited success • National seed-fertilizer drill – R&D for modification 2. Plant Mortality Complex ? • Weather and sequential occurrence of wilt & Dry root rot • Analysis of historical weather and disease data • Identified moderate resistance to wilt & Dry root rot

  25. The Demonstrations Over 3800 demonstrations conducted in 8 villages during 2008-09 to 2009-10

  26. Project # 5 Selection and utilization of water-logging tolerant cultivars in pigeonpea

  27. Water-logging Scenario in India(Agropedia-pigeonpea, 2009)

  28. Objectives • Identification of water logging & salinity tolerant lines • Transfer of water-logging tolerance in local cvs • On-Farm validation of water-logging tolerance • Generate and share information and materials

  29. Rainfall (mm) Stages sensitive to WL Year, 2010

  30. Trait associated with tolerance

  31. *Selection in a puddled rice field*

  32. Evaluation in on-station trial, 2011

  33. SUMMARY • Significant progress has been made in all the NFSM supported projects • Hybrid tech established, HY hybrids developed, tech transferred, one hybrid released • Helicoverpa tol lines identified, testing in progress • Yield potential of CP in rice fallows demonstrated • Heat tolerant lines identified and used in breeding • Water-logging tolerant genotypes identified; further testing in progress • Capacity building was given importance in projects

  34. The Project Partners thank NFSM for their valuable support in research and development of pulses
