Common observations:

 Tissue culture Banana Cv.G-9 assumes importance at Allahabab,Jaunpur and Sultanpur districts for enhancing productivity and production through area expansion.  Planting material at government nurseries need to managed properly, by proper labeling and preparations only in poly bags (Grafted) Nurseries should be accredited by National Horticulture Board. Mother blocks needs to be established with recommended cultivars.  Timely supply of planting material including tissue culture banana plants should be assured to the farmers as any delay in supply adversely affects the productivity. Farmers need to be given freedom to procure planting material from accredited and empanelled tissue culture units. Technical committee should verify the supply of planting material in farmer’s field and subsidiary should be paid to farmers by cheque or transfer to account as per MIDH guidelines.  Farmers should be paid 2nd /3rd year maintenance cost of fruit crop production positively by June or July directly in their account as per MIDH guidelines after timely verification of crop in field.  Betel vine cultivation initiated at Jaunpur under RKVY Scheme needs to be adapt recommended package of practices. Agriculture College /KVK, Jaunpur may take field demonstration for suitable & cost effective shade material to be recommended for commercial production of betel vine.  Protected cultivation should be given priority for the progressive farmers. Field functionaries and farmers need to be imparted training on protected cultivation including production technologies in Green house cultivation and automation as well as precision farming.  More emphasis should be given for high density and canopy management programme under area expansion programme of Guava at .  Effort should be for setting up infrastructure for Post Harvest Management such as pack houses, cold storages, refrigerated vans, ripening chambers linking them clearly with producing firms.  Effort should be made to avoid granting subsidy benefit Subsidy benefits for for area expansion of banana crop to the farmers of same families.

 Annual action programme submitted by district officers should be given due consideration at the time of financial allocations to district.

 Financial progress at district level needs to be accelerated.

 State Horticulture department have serious constraints of manpower at field level. Trained man power up to block level may be strengthened and vacant positions may be filled on priority basis.

 Hortnet need to be operationalised in all the three districts visited.

Other rivers which flow in the district and at the end meet with Ganga or Yamuna are Tons and Belan, The holy Ganga and Yamuna confluence in the middle of the district at Allahabad town and flow in the shape of 'Y' alphabet which divide the district in three physiographic tracts namely Trans-Ganga region, Doab region and Trans-Yamuna region. The northern part of Allahabad district, popularly known as Gangapar, is endowed with good fertile soil for cultivation of food grains, pulses, oil seeds and vegetables. The southern part of Allahabad, known as Yamunapar is partly hilly and agriculturally backward.

Soil and Climate:

Net area under cultivation is 3,26,000 hectare, out of which 2,40,286 ha area is irrigated. The district is endowed with good soil, adequate ground water and all three growing seasons, rabi, kharif and summer. Every year approximately 5,80,398 hectare is put under various crops with cropping intensity of about 157%. Wheat is the main crop, followed by paddy. Bajra, pulses, vegetables, potato, guava, mango, cucurbits and banana are other important crops. A thorough study of cultivation pattern prevalent in the district revealed important gaps which required to be addressed to realize the full potential. The district has 37 functional cold storages having capacity of 3,686,15 MT. Cold stores and rural godowns have helped the farmers to store their commodities close to their fields and obtain pledge loans and marketing credit from banks, thereby avoiding distress sale at the time of harvesting of the crops. The major crops of the district are wheat, rice, barley and potato which are being cultivated over the years without any rotation/diversification. The northern part of Allahabad district popularly known as Gangapar is endowed with good fertile soil for cultivation of food grains, pulses, oil seeds and vegetables.

Older Alluvial Plain: It is characterized by depositional and erosional terraces found in patches along the active plain. 3. Rocky Surface (Denudational hills): These are prominent in trans Yamuna area formed mainly of quartzitic nature. The master slope of Trans Ganga is towards east or south east, with the altitude ranging from 89.30 mamsl-93.57 masl.

District: Jaunpur

The district of Jaunpur is situated in the North-West part of . Its land area extends from 24.240N to 26.120N latitude and between 82.70E and 83.50E longitudes. Its attitude varies from 261 ft to 290 ft. above M.S.L. (Mean Sea Level). The geographical area of the district is 4,038 Sqm. and population was 4,476,072 ( 2011l census) . Gomti and Sai are its main parental rivers. Besides these, Varuna, Basuhi, Pili. Mamur and Gangi are the smaller rivers here. The rivers Gomti and Basuhi divide the district into nearly four equal landmasses.

Soil and Climate: The topography of the district is mainly a flat plain with shallow river-balleys. The soils are mainly sandy, loamy and clayey. Jaunpur district is often affected by the disaster of floods. The rivers of Jaunpur flow from northwest to southeast and the land slopes in the same direction. Thus, there is a more elevated area in the northwest and a less elevated area of land in the south east. Alluvial plain (0-1% slope)

9. Deep, sandy soils with moderate flooding associated with stratified loamy soils and slight flooding 10. Deep, stratified loamy soils, with severe flooding associated with loamy soils with moderate flooding Jaunpur district has a climate consistent with that of the Northern Plain and Central Highlands including the Aravalli range, hot semi-arid eco-region 4.3 and hot dry ecoregion 9.2. The temperature varies between about 4 °C (39 °F) and 44 °C (111 °F).[1] The annual normal rainfall is 1,098 millimetres (43.2 in). The monsoon season occurs from the third week of June to the first week of October. Normally, there are 46 rain days per year of which 31 occur in the monsoon season. The district regularly suffers drought and pestilence.[2]

Agriculture The main field crops of Jaunpur district are: rice, maize, pigeon pea, pearl millet, blackgram wheat and chickpea. Other crops are onion and potato and crops for fodder. The crops are grown with both rainfall and irrigation. There are cattle (both local low yielding and crossbred), and local low-yielding buffalo as well as goats, sheep, backyard chickens and pigs and occasional dairy farms. There are 43 government reservoirs and many more private water sources.[2] The Shri Ganesh Rai Post Graduate College established in 2009, offers a one or two year agricultural science course and is affiliated to the University of Purvancha. At Gujartal Lake, 2 miles (3.2 km) west of Kheta Sarai, pisciculture is conducted.
