    Additional Information

    The project ‘Promotion of Improved Chickpea Varieties in Rice-Based Cropping Systems of Smallholder Farmers in Odisha’ is funded by the Department of Agriculture and Food Production, Government of Odisha, India and through the Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY) sub-scheme No. AG(RKVY)60/2014/17759. This was approved on October 20, 2014, for a period of 4 years from 2014 to 2018 with a total budget of `785.58 lakh (US$1.23 million).

    Abstract

    Chickpea, pigeonpea, black gram and green gram are among the major pulses covering 1.3 m ha during Rabi in 30 districts of Odisha. However, the productivity is stagnant at 508 kg/ha which is well below the national average of 786 kg/ha. Chickpea is widely grown in Odisha but only 41,910 ha are sown during Rabi due to nonavailability of quality seeds. The average productivity is recorded at 780 kg/ha. The chickpea seed system in Odisha is not well established and this forces the smallholder farmers to save their own seeds year after year or to get it from other farmers as there is no proper access to good seeds. Approximately 80-90% of all planting material used is largely sourced from farmers’ saving seed from own harvest and using them for re-sowing, seed sharing, bartering and selling...
