The varieties assessed are i) Co 6 which was being cultivated by the farmers more than a decade ii) Greengram Variety Co 8 iii) Greengram Variety –DGG 1. Among the three varieties, Co 8 produced more number of pods i.e.43. The yield obtained from Co 8 was 8.9/ha when compared to local check Co 6 (8.2q/ha) and DGG 1(8.7 q ) respectively which was 8.5 % higher yield over local check Co 6 variety. Gross cost incurred for cultivation were Rs.49240,Rs 48159 and Rs 49235 & the Gross income obtained were Rs.60270,Rs.65415 and Rs.65415 respectively for Co 6,Co 8 and DGG 1. The Net return was high in Co 8 i.e Rs.17256 compared to local check variety Co 6 and DGG 1. Hence the variety Co 8i has higher BCR of 1.36 whereas it is 1.22 in Co 6 (local variety) and 1.33 in DGG 1. Apart from the above statics the Groundnut variety Co 8 Moderately resistant to YVM disease. Hence it could be concluded that cultivation of Greengram variety Co 8 can be ideal remunerative to Naikampalayam, Periyanaickenpalayam blocks where Greengram are predominantly cultivated in Coimbatore district. Constraints faced: Nil
9. Feed back of the farmers involved:
Greengram varieties Co 8 performed better over local check and technological option II (DGG1) varieties. More number of pods could be obtained from Co 8 than local variety .Seed treatment with pseudomonas florescence @10 g/kg of seed reduces root rot incidence from 70% to 60 %. 10. Feed back to the scientist who developed the technology: Greengram variety Co 8 can be recommended for cultivation in all Rabi seasons, where there is Red soil with marginal rain fall but even distribution of rain fall is assured.

Success story 1 : Tribal development through Tribal treasure
Name of the farmer : Mrs.Bindu Gouri (G Tree group)
Situation analysis:
The main tribal communities found in the district Coimbatore are Todas, Kotas, Kurumbas, Irulas, Paniyas and Kattunaikkan. Most of the tribals in Tamil Nadu are cultivators, agriculture labourers or dependent on forests for their livelihood. The tribal communities live inside the Reserved Forests, in the vicinity in fringes and outside and are also called ‘forest dwellers’. Their socio-cultural life is centered on nature. Degradation of forests has reduced the resource availability and the employment opportunities for tribals. This has affected the food availability, livelihood options and the quality of life of the tribals. Plenty of tribal resources are available in forest but due to lack of knowledge about processing and unaware of value addition these resources are not exploited /utilized properly. Keeping this view in mind our Agribusiness school Partner Mrs.Bindhu has launched “Tribal Treasures”a range of products (18) from tribal resources; the whole process was facilitated and technically supported by the ICAR KVK Coimbatore. ..
Plan, Implement and Support: Our Kendra has established Agri Business School (ABS) to educate and empower rural women. Skill development programme are primary undertaken to ensure appropriate learning,
ICAR – KVK Coimbatore Annual Report 2019-20 100 development of business modules and execution of sales and marketing. Food processing and value addition are acquiring a prominent and priority status in the country’s growth plans. The school also facilitates commercialization of food processing technologies; train self Help Groups, rural youths and entrepreneurs besides providing facilities for food processing/value addition. Forest produces have been identified as resources to empower tribal women belongs to the areas of Bhagawathi Ammankovil, Salaivembu,Senkuttai and Irularpathi and the final productsare branded as ‘tribal treasure’. This has about 18 tribal product ranges. The production of which has been standardized by the Agribusiness school of our Kendra. Finer herbs are collected from above natural forest areas in Coimbatore. These herbs are identified and confirmed scientifically for its taxonomical position, shade dried and further processed without affecting any quality parameters in traditional methods. This was done by tribes themselves under supervision of scientists concerned from the Kendra. Eco friendly packing is done and their labels will give all required details. This product is identified, developed, processed and packed in the best interest of consumer’s health and utmost care is taking to keep up the quality while handling. These herbal products thus developed are Millet products, dry Thulasi, Thulasi tea, Avarampoo tea, Dry Sundakai, Pirandai podi, Aarapu powder, Tamarind, Herbal wash powder, Dried Amla, Seevakai ,pulses etc;. Solar based drying was also demonstrated for uniform drying and quality production of tribal resource. Output: With the guidance and support of the Kendra she started small scale level food processing unit at our Kendra. She further sought the guidance of the Kendra to obtain help in acquiring food safety license, branding labelling and marketing techniques. She sold her products through her sale in gated communities, KVK exhibitions, Departmental stores and nearby towns of the district. She also uses mass media like Pothigai TV and AIR to popularise her products and promote sales.

Outcome: To the state department of agriculture Government of Kerala during 2016 -2017 our ABS partner Mrs.Bindhu was proposed and submit the proposal for Millet promotion. Assistant director of Agriculture Pallakadu block was visited our Kendra. Our KVK scientist was explained about the scope of the processed millet products. Based on the visit the Government of Kerala was very much interested in millet processing with the collaboration our Kendra. In the year 2017-2018 a pilot project has been launched in Attapadi to
ICAR – KVK Coimbatore Annual Report 2019-20 102 promote millet cultivation. A project named “MILLET VILLAGE”, under the leadership of Minister for Agricultural, Government of Kerala. Eight metric tons of grains of millets has been procured from hamlets and processed by ICAR-KVK, Coimbatore. Mrs.Bindu has received Rs.4, 50,000 as a processing cost for millet. Totally seven millet based value added products were developed and standards by our Kendra. The processed products were sold through Government outlets. Profit of the products after sale was deposited to group account. This profit was shared every month to the individuals. The processed Millet products was recognized by state department of Agriculture Government of Kerala and Kerala Agricultural University Impact of employment generation: Through this tribal treasure 12 tribal women get regular employment opportunity and get additional income of Rs.4500 / per month. The unit is thus established as a training cum practicing center at village level to give business and employment opportunity to rural poor more particularly tribes.
18. CASE STUDIES
ICM in Groundnut variety Dharani.
Introduction
Groundnut is one of the important Oilseed crops cultivated in Kinathukadavu,Madhukarai,Annur and Pollachi blocks of Coimbatore district. A trial was carried out during 2018 in five farmer’s fields (Five acre) at Govindapuram village of Kinathukadavu block in Coimbatore district, Tamil Nadu as the farmers were getting low yield and facing drought problem. The soil type of the trial plots are red soil with PH ranges from 7.2 to 8.4 and EC 0.14 to 1.45 dSm-1. Average Organic carbon content of the soil was 0.42% with NPK status of 190-297,8-12 and 295-320 kgs/ ha respectively. Total rainfall received during the season was 612 4 mm with 32 rainy days. Maximum and minimum
ICAR – KVK Coimbatore Annual Report 2019-20 103 temperature recorded were 30oC to 33o and 18o to 22orespectively. The relative humidity range of 84-93% was recorded. The cropping system was Groundnut followed by millets. Attempt was made to assess groundnut varieties such as TMV 7,Co 6 and Dharani for finding suitability in Govindapurm cluster of Kinathukadavu block.
Probem identified
Repeated use of same seed of low yielding old variety every year has led to decreased vigor, yield and poor income Drought Intolerance
KVK Intervention On Farm Trail followed by Cluster Front Line Demonstration and Large scale demonstration in convergence with Department of Agriculture was the intervention made by the KVK. Out put Performance of three varieties has been assessed in 5 farmers’ fields at Govindapuram village during 2018. The varieties assessed were i) TMV 7 which was being cultivated by the farmers more than a decade ii) Groundnut Variety Co 6 iii) Groundnut Variety -Dharani. Among these three varieties, Dharani produced more number of pods i.e.46. with good yield of 18.5q/ha when compared to local check TMV 7(6.83q/ha) and Co 6(17.15q/ha ) respectively which was 9.9 % higher over local check TMV 7 variety and 7.87%higher over Co 6 which was subjected for assessment.

ICM in Groundnut variety Dharani.
Introduction
Groundnut is one of the important Oilseed crops cultivated in Kinathukadavu,Madhukarai,Annur and Pollachi blocks of Coimbatore district. A trial was carried out during 2018 in five farmer’s fields (Five acre) at Govindapuram village of Kinathukadavu block in Coimbatore district, Tamil Nadu as the farmers were getting low yield and facing drought problem. The soil type of the trial plots are red soil with PH ranges from 7.2 to 8.4 and EC 0.14 to 1.45 dSm-1. Average Organic carbon content of the soil was 0.42% with NPK status of 190-297,8-12 and 295-320 kgs/ ha respectively. Total rainfall received during the season was 612 4 mm with 32 rainy days. Maximum and minimum temperature recorded were 30oC to 33o and 18o to 22orespectively. The relative humidity range of 84-93% was recorded. The cropping system was Groundnut followed by millets. Attempt was made to assess groundnut varieties such as TMV 7,Co 6 and Dharani for finding suitability in Govindapurm cluster of Kinathukadavu block. Probem identified
Repeated use of same seed of low yielding old variety every year has led to decreased vigor, yield and poor income Drought Intolerance KVK Intervention On Farm Trail followed by Cluster Front Line Demonstration and Large scale demonstration in convergence with Department of Agriculture was the intervention made by the KVK. Out put Performance of three varieties has been assessed in 5 farmers’ fields at Govindapuram village during 2018. The varieties assessed were i) TMV 7 which was being cultivated by the farmers more than a decade ii) Groundnut Variety Co 6 iii) Groundnut Variety -Dharani. Among these three varieties, Dharani produced more number of pods i.e.46. with good yield of 18.5q/ha when compared to local check TMV 7(6.83q/ha) and Co 6(17.15q/ha ) respectively which was 9.9 % higher over local check TMV 7 variety and 7.87%higher over Co 6 which was subjected for assessment.
