Kerala A. Sasidharan Pillai Nellanad P.O, Vamanapuram, Thiruvananthapuram. Contact: Mr. John Jo Varghese, Subject Matter Specialist (Agronomy), Mitraniketan Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Thiruvananthapuram. Ph: 9447010474 Age: 53 Education: 10 th class Family size: Four Occupation(s): Agriculture No. of years in farming: 15 Paddy cultivation He has an agriculture land of 6 acres in which paddy is cultivated in 3.5 acres. His is an irrigated land, where he applies inputs like green leaf manure, FYM, fertilizers, plant protection chemicals etc. He gets an yield of 3-3.5 t/acre in flooding method. SRI adoption He attended a training programme organized by Department of Agriculture at Kazhakkuttom Regional Agriculture Training Centre in 2003. The training programme was handled by Mr. John Jo Varghese, Subject Matter Specialist (Agronomy), Mitraniketan Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK), Thiruvananthapuram. After the lecture, he was much inspired by the new system of cultivation and tried SRI in one acre of his paddy field on a trial basis during rabi, 2003. He took up SRI in all the 6 acres and practiced for the past 9 seasons. He used varieties like Uma, Jaya, Harsha, Pavizhom, MTU-1, Aiswarya etc. All the practices under SRI were followed, except strict water control during vegetative growth stage, as water in his plot cannot be easily controlled. He used implements like Rotary Marker and Rotary Weeder provided by Mitraniketan KVK. With regard to pest incidence, it was relatively less in his SRI field. The spacing between plants provided enough space for monitoring, which helped in the management of Leaf folders. Pseudomonas fluorescence, an effective bio control agent, was used while seed treatment, nursery, and in the field also. Because of this, fungal and bacterial diseases were controlled. Application of Pseudomonas fluorescence was practically easier to adopt, as SRI required less seeds, less nursery area and enough spacing between plants for the spraying. 36
