Climate

The climatic parameters like temperature and rainfall varies in hilly terrain depending on the aspects and elevation. The hilly terrain is characterized by heavy precipitation almost throughout the year excepting the seasonal distribution of the rainfall in the central plain of the State. The temperatures variation is very conspicuous in the hilly terrain where the eastern aspect of the hilly ranges including the central plain is relatively cooler than its western counterpart. The region experiences per humid climate with small seasonal water deficiency. The Climate of eastern aspect of the terrain including the central plain is characterized by warm summer and cold winter. The mean annual temperature varies from 19 to 20° C. The Area experiences the summer temperatures to the range of 28° - 29° C while it drops to 0 to 12° C in winter season and at places in some of the years dew get frozen in the early morning of winter throwing gradually with sunrise. The main annual precipitation varies from 1200 - 1350 mm. covering bulk of potential evapo-transpirative demand excepting the periods of seasonal deficit period in the month of January and February. The Climate of the western part experiences hot summer and cold winters. The mean annual temperature exceed 22° C and experiences summer temperatures to the range of 35 – 36° C. The mean annual precipitation varies from 2000 to 2400 mm. The state has got broadly two distinct soil and climatic zones namely; (a): Central valley and adjoining minor valleys where the land is flat, soils are heavy to very heavy in texture and elevation is in between 750 to 950 m above MSL and it has two broad sub-divisions;

i) The sizeable area located by the side of the rivers crossing the valleys and the banks of which are light texture soils upto 500 to 700 m on each side from the bank of the river. Many of the villages are located in such areas. The farmers grow various fruits and vegetables in these light textured soils around their homestead. ii) The remaining portion of the valley has heavy to very light textured soil and a single crop of paddy in the main season is generally cultivated.

(b).The 2nd physiographic division of the hills has again got two main sub- divisions viz:

i).High hills : Mountains and strongly undulating areas which are normally higher than 1500m above MSL. ii).Mid hills : Areas above 1000 m MSL. Under the above land categories (b) i) and ii), there are vast areas which would be suitable for cultivation of tropical, sub-tropical and temperate fruits. The important fruit crops in the state are-Pineapple, Citrus, Banana, Papaya, Pear, Peach, Plum and other f local fruits.

Observations and Suggestions of the Joint Inspection Team for Manipur

 JIT noticed that the protected structures have been found to be unutilized or underutilized in the hills and valleys regions both at some places. To serve the purpose of the protected structures, emphasis should be given on cultivation of high value crops and raising vegetable nursery in valley and off-season vegetable production in the hills.  The JIT has visited some vegetable field especially in Thoubal, Churachandpur and Bishnupur districts. The beneficiary farmers are trying to maintain a healthy crop. However, there is a lack of technical know-how among the farmers. Hence, JIT recommends need based training programme on location specific crop technologies in collaboration with ICAR.  The JIT noticed that the beneficiary farmers of both HMNEH and NVIUC are indiscriminately using one particular commercial biopesticide product for all kinds of diseases (fungal, bacterial or viral) and insect-pests in all types of crop. Even after application of the said product, the JIT has observed significant insect-pests and disease load in the crops under demonstration. Hence, instead of popularizing one particular product, JIT recommends to provide recommended package of practices.  The JIT has visited good cut flower production unit at Kongba and Imphal East district. Such type of cut flower production unit should be established for other flower and ornamental crops. Emphasis should be given on establishment of flower nursery. The flower nurseries and cut flower production units should be equipped with micro-irrigation system.  To popularize farm mechanization, JIT recommends introduction and demonstration of small farm tools like fruit harvester, fruit grader, pre-cooling tank, weeder etc. to reduce the drudgery especially in the hill districts. Garden tool-kit should be provided to the farmers involved in nursery raising and cut-flower production.  More emphasis should be given on Apiculture. Bee-keeping intervention needs to be integrated with compatible crops. One commercial honey production unit may be established in the state.  The JIT has experienced that the demand for mushroom is very high in Manipur. Taking this opportunity emphasis should be given on popularization of mushroom production in the state. Production of button mushroom can also be popularized. More number of spawn production unit (for both oyster and button mushroom) need to be established. Technical know-how may be obtained from ICAR and DMR, Solan.  The JIT has visited newly established Tissue Culture Unit and Hi-Tech Nursery Complex of Educated Farmers' Society, Imphal East. The JIT has noticed lack of maintenance in guava, significant load of insect pests and diseases in citrus mother block and nursery plants. Keeping proper pedigree of the mother block is very important for production of disease free planting material. Quality of gerbera should be improved through adoption of recommended package of practices. Production and supply of tissue culture plantlets and mushroom spawn should be started as early as possible to justify the investment.

77

 Under HMNEH, many farmers have been sent on exposure visit to different places in the country. It is an appreciable initiative. However, application of technology is lacking due to non-adoption of crop specific management practices. Hence, JIT recommends that the exposure visit for the farmers should be organized in the institutes having specific technology/crop mandate.  Under NMMI, micro-irrigation units provided to the beneficiaries have been found operational. Strong collaboration is required between NMMI and NVIUC. Fertigation unit may be introduced at some progressive farmers' field and protected nurseries. As same layout of the micro-irrigation system may not be applicable for all crops, hence, portable micro- irrigation system would be more practical and effective.  The JIT appreciates the demonstration fields under NVIUC. However, more emphasis should be given on high value crops. The JIT has also felt that some interventions are required to make the Collection Centre cum Pack Houses more operational. Awareness campaign should be launched to attract more number of farmers to the collection centre. Market linkage should be strengthened. Storage facilities should be improved like natural ventilation, plastic crates, storage racks etc. and low cost packaging material should be introduced to enhance the shelf life of the perishable produce.  The crop based cluster formation should be redefined. Cluster should be formed by taking adjoining villages or nearby production sites. One or two Processing or storage or marketing unit should support each cluster. The JIT also found that the proper logo/board of the scheme is not being displayed at most of the places. There is a need to display the logo of the scheme at every beneficiary point.
