Serious steps were taken to improve productivity and quality through proper utilization of:
1. Farm machinery and tools
2. Creating awareness for technology up – gradation
3. use of water soluble conventional & specialty fertilizers and micro nutrients
4. Maximize water productivity, enhance moisture retention capacity of soil
5. Leaf nutrient guide and
6. Microbial consortia
7. Manage pre & post harvest losses
Product development, product promotion, value-addition can be brought in by having a proper pack house, and by displaying the products in food exhibitions.
Supply chain will help promote this industry through a proper – Pack house, Pre cooling unit, primary processing, Cold storage, Refer van and ripening chambers. This can help cater the domestic and international demands.
Dr Nitin Bhore renders expert advice and consultancy after completing higher education in the field of agriculture in a true sense on full time basis across the country in the remote areas of rural India since 1987. Planned and executed 41 projects.
The work pertains on the establishment and management of different fruit orchard under varied agro-climatic conditions. There is a wide scope in this field because majority of the Indian farmers are resource – poor and mostly small and marginal.
The greatest challenge is to carry out the horticultural extension work and provide integrated crop management practices targeting increase in productivity and quality of fruit crops.
The work starts with the introduction of best quality planting material and selection of latest varieties
Technically qualified staff, skilled labor carry out the effective utilization of natural resources, and mange the technology in high density plantations, coupled with ideal canopy architecture.
Higher income and urbanization in India, changing lifestyles, international market integration and trade liberalization are expected to increase the demand for horticultural products.
1. Fruit dish/ fresh fruit for table purpose. 2. Fruit Juice 3. Fruit pulp 4. Puree 5. Fruit slice 6. Dehydrated fruits 7. Fruit Jam
Horticulture sector generates 3-4 times higher employment in terms of man-days.
Several efforts, crop specific training to producer farmers at field level enhances production to meet per capita minimum dietary requirements and to enrich crop varieties with specific nutritional diversity.
An activity carried out in the last 30 years.
Proper planning, schedules, recording field, crop conditions, climatic conditions enables us to carry out, manage.
1. Weed control
2. Inter crop
3. Micro irrigation
4. Fertigation
5. Mechanization
6. Training and pruning
7. Bahar treatment [Flowering]
8. Integrated soil, water and insect & pest management
9. Harvesting, grading, packing and storage under strict supervisions and instructions
By 2050, the scenario would be different as the challenges will be more diverse due to increase in population and climate change. The challenge is to increase productivity of fruits and vegetables to meet ever-growing demand due to urbanization.
The young, rich, urban and rural population would demand diversified, nutritious and safe food of high quality.
