INTRODUCTION
 The Rural Agricultural Work Experience (RAWE) helps the students primarily to understand the rural
situations, status of agricultural technologies adopted by the farmers to prioritize the farmers’ problems and
to develop skills & attitude of working with farm families for overall development in rural area. The timings
for RAWE can be flexible for specific regions to coincide with the main cropping season.
I was attached to KVK Sambalpur during RAWE progarm. I was guided by all the Scientists of the KVK.
All the scientists gave me a detailed description of the work done by the KVK in their subjects and also the
overall scenario of the district under the unit attachment in KVK.
This report is an account of all the activities performed and the things learned in my RAWE program. The
report deals with the agriculture scenario of the entire district. It also covers all the activities performed in
unit attachment under the KVK, a brief description of work done by the KVK and the various projects
undergoing. It includes the survey report of two nearby villages using PRA tools.

PREPARATION OF THE FIELD
1. FIELD PREPARATION
 Plough with tractor 2-3 times with a mould board plough or 5 times with a country
plough.
 Break the clods in between the ploughings and bring the soil to a fine tilth.
2. APPLICATION OF FYM
 Spread 12.5 t of FYM or compost or composted coir pith per ha evenly and
incorporate in the soil.
 If the manure is not applied before commencement of ploughing, spread the manure
evenly before the last ploughing and incorporate in the soil.

NOTE: Do not leave the organic manure exposed to sunlight as

nutrients will be lost.
3. APPLICATION OF FERTILIZERS
Apply N at 20 kg/ha basally.
4. SEED RATE
Adopt a seed rate of 5 kg/ha.

5. SPACING
Adopt a spacing of 30 cm between rows and 10 cm between plants.

6. SELECTION OF GOOD QUALITY SEEDS

Select mature good quality seeds, free from pest damage and fungal attack.

7. PRE-TREATMENT OF SEEDS WITH FUNGICIDES

 Treat with Carbendazim or Thiram at 4 g/kg of seed in a polythene bag and ensure a
uniform coating of the fungicide over the seed.
 Treat the seeds 24 hours prior to sowing.
NOTE: Seed treatment will protect the young seedlings from root rot disease in the
early stage.
8. SOWING
a. Sow the seeds in line at a depth of 2 to 3 cm and cover with soil.
b. Sow using gorru or country plough.

9. THINNING OUT SEEDLINGS

Thin out the seedlings to a spacing of 10 cm between plants on the 15th day of sowing.

10. WEED MANAGEMENT

Hoe and weed on 20th and 35th day of sowing.

11. HARVESTING
1. Observe the crop considering the average duration of the crop.
2. The leaves and entire plant loose their colour and turn brown at maturity.
3. Cut the plants at the bottom.
4. Keep the plants in the threshing floor and beat the plants (heads) with sticks till the
mature seeds are separated.
5. Winnow the seed and dry in the sun.
6. Collect and store the seeds in gunnies.
 SOIL SAMPLING AND TESTING

SOIL SAMPLING
 Materials Required:-
 Spade
 Sieve
 Polythene
 Marker
 Form for taking data
 Stapler

 Basics of soil sampling:-

 1 sample for 5000 sq.m area(0.5 ha)
 For shallow rooted crop soil sampling must be done from 15cm depth.
 For deep rooted crops like cashew,mango,coconut.we should collect sample upto
100cm depth.

3.Place of sampling:-
 Should not be collected from manured area or fertilized area.
 Take soil samples away from the bunds.
 Avoid soil sampling from water logged area ,tree shed area.

4.Site selection for soil sampling:-

 If there is more than one crop in half ha of area,the sample must be collected
from every crop area to make a composite sample.
 According to the slope,colour,water logged area,different samples should be
taken for each texture.
 Samples should be collected in a “Z” or “N” shape .
 V- shape method of soil sampling
 V- shaped notch should be made with the help of spade to a depth of 7 to 15
cm.
 Discard all the upper level soil,stones,etc.
 It is better to take moist soil for sampling like wise collect 5 to 6 samples and
mix it to make a dome shaped then divide it into 4 parts.
 Discard diagonally 2 parts.
 Repeat the process up to make the sample of 500-600 gm.
 Then fill up the form ,mark the sample and submit to laboratory.

SOIL TESTING
KVK sambalpur has MRIDAPARIKSHAK mini soil testing kit.
It can give information on below parameters:
 Major nutrient: N,P,K
 Secondary nutrient : Ca, Mg,S
 Micro nutrient : Zn,Mo,B,Cu,Fe
 PH
 EC

Objectives of soil testing

1. Evaluation of fertility status of soil

2. Estimation of the available nutrients status of soil
3. Determination of acidity, salinity and alkalinity problems and
4. Recommendation of the required amount of fertilizers, lime or gypsum based on soil
test value.

Phases of Soil Testing programme

1. Collecting the soil samples

2. Extraction and determining the available nutrients
3. Calibrating and interpreting the analytical results
4. Making the fertilizer recommendation and management

Process

First make the soil disinfectant by putting it on heater.

1.Take 6 ml AN-1 solution in the test bottle no. 1.
2. By using a funnel, add one teaspoon (approx. 1 gm) soil sample in the test bottle
no. 1
3. Put the cap on the bottle and gently shake it for a minute.
4. Then keep the bottle still for 5 minutes. Now the soil will settle down and there
will be a layer of clear liquid on the top of it.
5. Now, in an another test bottle (test bottle no. 2), take 2 ml clear liquid from test
bottle no. 1 with the help of a dropper. Make sure that there won’t be any traces of
soil from test bottle no. 1 in the dropper.
6. Add 4 drops of AN-2 solution in test bottle no. 2.
7. Put the cap on the bottle and shake it gently.
9. Now shake the bottle and compare the colour of the solution in the bottle (test
bottle no. 2) with the colour screen given in the kit.
10. Note down the Nitrogen content in the soil accordingly.

Management

Cultural

• Avoid close planting and provide 30 cm rogue spacing at every

2.5 to 3.0 m to reduce the pest incidence.
• Draining the rice field for 3-4 days is recommended during the early stage of
infestation.
• Alternate wetting and drying of rice field.
• Use of tolerant(hasanta) and resistant varieties.
• Judicious use of nitrogenous fertilizer.
• Replace nitrogenous fertilizer by the use of green manure (sun hemp), azolla,
BGA.
• Use spider traps(7-8/acre) with sticks and paddy straw. This helps spiders to
make web. Spider is natural predator of BPH nymph.

the chicks.

8.Fodder production: (12.5% area)

For feeding of duck and cow an area of 765 sq.m2 is used for fodder
production. In addition to green fodder, dry husks, leaves, stems of
different cereals and vegetables are also used as feed.
Kharif: M.P. Chari/Sudan grass/Maize
 Summer:Boro/Lobia/Maize/
Gunea grass
Rabi: Berseem/Oat/Maize etc.

9.FYM/ vermicomposting pits: (1.4% area)

Optimal sizes pits for preparation of duck manure and Vermicompost
have been made depending upon land available near duck shed so that
required raw materials for making manures should be made available
nearby field and livestock.

Undoubtedly, this approach is a location specific, technically skill based, play multi
dimensional role in fulfilling the domestic requirement, employment avenues, rational
use of resources, rejuvenation of resources, sustaining productivity, investability and
economic ability of the systems. In the present scenario of agriculture sector, this only
approach enable the Indian farmers self sufficient and competitive in the global market by
producing quality edible products which is the main base in farming system on account of
their inheritance of recycling- the by-products of different enterprises and even a pinch of
material always considered of economic value.

RAWE-VA-402
PRA(Participatory rural appraisal) Dated- 27/10/2021
PRA is an exercise that deals with temporal and spatial issues in agricultural activities. Spatial

information supplies the database about soil type water resources, land use, land pattern and

topography of different life support system. Temporal data helps in seasonal analysis adoption

and awareness about the new technologies and human dimension helps in knowing the facts about

the participation, general issues, disaggregation, cultural values and ethics of the people of that locality.

OBJECTIVES OF PRA

The overall objectives of the PRA are to provide the newly recruited scientists an opportunity for

gaining first-hand experience and an insight into agricultural and rural development scenario in

general and the problems of the farming community in particular. It also give an opportunities to

young students to have knowledge about the various complex interactions of agricultural research

with production, processing, value addition and marketing systems in the rural areas.

The activities under PRA:

 Transect walk; agro-ecosystem analysis to develop agro-ecology map of the attached region.

 Preparation of Mobility map, Seasonal calendars, Gender disaggregated calendars,

Time line, Time trend, Venn diagram, Social Map, Bio-resource flow diagram.
for the top most researchable problem identified by the farmers.

 Interaction with officials of development departments like Agriculture, Animal husbandry,

Forestry, Fisheries, Rural development etc.; official of non-governmental organisation;

Panchayat officials; Dealers and representative of input supply Agencies, marketing networks etc.

TOOLS OF PRA

PRA is a systematic, semi-structured activity conducted on site, by a multidisciplinary team. It is

basically a bottom to top approach of learning rural life forms with and by rural people. Due to

active participation of community members as well as scientists, PRA has become a useful method
to focus attention on village people, their livelihood and relationship with social and economic factors. It
is a good technique to help the community members make an appraisal of their livelihoods and

issues related to it. Diverse information is collected during PRA using a number of techniques.

CONCLUSION

Through this module, we got an envious opportunity to understand about the activities
and functions of the KVKs. The role of KVK in solving the problems faced by the
farmers and the technology dissemination activities became clear. We also got an idea
about various training programs conducted by the KVKs. We understood various efforts
contributed by the institute for the betterment of the farming community. The module as
a whole motivated us to develop a scientific temper for addressing several problems. We
were able to showcase our talent in organizing and giving training to farmers. Help from
the SMS and related staffs were useful in fine-tuning our strengths in presenting. Support
from the staff and SMS from each department helped us to successfully complete the
module.

Thank you…
