Dr. H V L Bathla, Chief Consultant (NHM) 2. Mrs. Jyoti Singhal, US (NHM) Dates of Visit: - 15.01.13 to 17.01.2013 18.02.13 to 19.02.2013 27.05.13 to 30.05.2013 05.06.13 to 05.06.2013 2 Observations/Recommendations of JIT The Centre of Excellence (CEF), Mangiana (Sirsa) has started distribution of fruit plants and during 2012 has produced 21377 grafted and 78326 seedling plants. Monitoring of performance of planting material procured from CEF vis-a-vis those from Govt. nurseries needs to be done. The infrastructure created by Haryana State Agriculture Marketing Board (HSAMB) under NHM needs optimum utilization. The following facilities visited by the team at Rohtak were not in operation (i) Ripening Chamber (ii) Pre-cooling & cooling units (iii) Kissan Bazaar The HSAMB needs to take immediate steps to operationalize these facilities. Grading and waxing centres supported under private sector by NHM are working well but the Centre at Abu Shahar (Dabwali) given to Haryana State Agriculture Marketing Board (HSAMB) is not functional in the current season 2012-13. The attention of HSAMB is immediately required so that farmers can take benefit of this facility. There is a need to maintain record of farmers visiting Plant Health Clinics that have come up with the assistance from NHM. Remedies suggested and feedback received from the farmers needs to be recorded. Integrated Mushroom Unit in District Sonepat needs automation to promote hygiene. The vermicompost unit working in its premises needs complete segregation. In Rohtak Guava plantation in 12.5 acres which is in fruiting stage is going to be acquired for industrial purpose.The Master Plan of the area needs to be kept in mind before sanctioning subsidy for any component. In some cases the polyhouses are not properly being maintained as the entry gate is not properly installed and remains open frequently. It will be difficult to maintain the temperature inside and probability of incidence of disease will also increase. Polyhouse Management needs to be stressed upon. More trainings need to be arranged for canopy management. 3 Experts from Plant Health Clinics (PHC) need to ascertain cause of disease/ wilting etc. afflicting fruit trees in Sonepat and Rohtak districts. The NHM signboard with logo is not available in most activity areas. In case of FLDC the record of visitors needs to be maintained. Also, at the entry point of each activity the details of that particular activity should be displayed for the benefit of visitors. The vending carts under VIUC are being distributed to FIGs. However, interaction with farmers revealed certain unwillingness on their part to operate them. Perhaps what is required is strong market strategy for putting the carts into operation. Neha Mushroom Seeds being run in Village Birhera, Pataudi is quite remarkable. It is serving as nucleus for mushroom cultivation around that area. There is a need to include it as a success story of NHM. Machinery like tractors would be more useful if given to groups instead of an individual. A tripartite agreement is signed between the Department, Company and the farmer before putting up polyhouse structures. The possibility of extending such an agreement for other States needs to be explored. 4 HARYANA STATE HORTICULTURE GROWTH IN THE STATE: In the year 1966-67 the total area under Horticulture was just 19,170 ha which increased to 429960 ha in the year 2011-12 which is 6.61% of the total cropped area. However, the land holdings of the state range from 0.5 ha to 10 ha. Average land holding size is only 2.13 ha. The size of land holding is successively decreasing on account of division of land from one generation to next. From climatic point of view the State has been divided into two distinct zones as below for plantation of fruit crops: Region Fruit 1. a) Eastern Region – Shivalik Hills (sub-humid Peach, Plum, pear, Mango, Loquat, area with more rainfall) Litchi, Chiku, Papaya, Aonla, Jamun, i) Kalka, Nariangarh Guava. ii) Jagadhri,karnal,Panipat iii) Ladwa & some part of Indri I. b) Alluvial (Semi-arid, medium rainfall areas) Citrus, Fruits, Guava, Grapes, Date, Faridabad,Palwal,Ballabgarh,Gurgaon,Mewat,Nu Papaya, Phalsa, Jam un, Mulberry, h,Pataudi,Sonepat,Karnal,Panipat,Kurukshetra,K Aonla. aithal,Gulla,Pehowa,Rohtak, and some part of Jind II.a) Western Region - Alluvial plain Areas (Semi- Citrus,Fruits,Grapes,Phalsa, Guava, arid, medium low rainfall areas) Ber Aonla,Date Palm, Jamun, Rohtak, Sirsa, Some part of Bhiwani, Mulberry ,Pomegranate, Baelgiri Mehendergarh II. b).
