Breaking the Barriers to Small Farm Mechanization

Breaking the Barriers to Small Farm Mechanization……….wagon wheel……

There is no guaranteed procedure to ensure the transfer of any technology because of the variability of situations and conditions surrounding popularization and extension of technology. Some important initial considerations in mechanization technology dissemination are careful assessment in identifying mechanization needs and prescribing the appropriate machinery or set of machinery. Equally essential is the approach on how we attempt to have our farmers `adopt or adapt’ the technology we offer.

Australians provide less support to their agriculture sector than any other nation

Australians provide less support to their agriculture sector than any other nation

Mick Keogh – Thursday, September 20, 2012

The OECD has released its annual review of national agricultural policies, and the results confirm that total government support measures for Australian agriculture are the lowest for any developed nation on earth, when expressed as a percent of national GDP.

The OECD carries out a review of international subsidy and support measures for agriculture each year, compiling a comprehensive database which details the value of government trade and subsidy measures for national agriculture sectors. Support measures for national agriculture sectors are expressed in a number of different ways, and mainly reported as either the percent of farmers gross income received from government subsidies and support measures (%PSE) or as total support measures for the agriculture sector expressed as a percentage of national GDP (%TSE).

When expressed as percent of total support (which includes tariffs, subsidies, and funding for things like research and development), Australia provides the lowest level of support for its agriculture sector (0.16% of GDP) of any developed nation included in the OECD analysis (as the following graph highlights).

When expressed in terms of Producer Support Estimate (%PSE) – which is the percentage of farmers income which is a consequence of government support measures, Australian agriculture ranks second lowest in the OECD (3% of farmers income from government support measures) , with only New Zealand (1%) lower. The OECD average support level was 18.8% – still persistently high despite global agricultural commodity prices being at historically high levels.

No doubt there will be grateful outpourings of gratitude and support from the Australian community and media for what is effectively for taxpayers the cheapest agriculture sector in the world, providing safe and nutritious food and earning 15% of Australia’s export income in the almost complete absence of any government or taxpayer support measures.

Sugar cane

Long ago, honey was the only sweetener in the countries beyond Asia, and all visitors to India were taken with the “reed which produced honey without bees”. What was that reed? Sugar cane was the reed.

Sugar cane (Saccharum spp.) is a tall grass that looks rather like bamboo. It was known in New Guinea for thousands of years. Sugar cane spread along human migration routes to Asia and India. Here

it was crossbred with some wild sugar cane relatives to produce the commercial sugar cane we know today.

Explorer Christopher Columbus transported sugar cane from the Canary Islands to what is now the Dominican Republic in 1493. The crop was taken to Central and South America from the 1520s onwards, and later to the British and French West Indies.

Native plants are valued for their economic, ecological, genetic, and aesthetic benefits

Native plants are valued for their economic, ecological, genetic, and aesthetic benefits in addition to their intrinsic value as living species. The use of native plant material (seeds, cuttings, plants) in vegetation projects plays an important role in the maintenance and restoration of native plant gene pools, communities, and ecosystems, and can help reverse the trend of species loss in Pakistan. Are we planning to develop live museums & seed zones @ various places of the country for various indigenous species almost we have already lost so many of them but some if remains………..Green Revolution era is over technically let’s focus more on “Evergreen Revolution”……………..

Chiltepin pepper (Capsicum annuum) "mother of all peppers"

Chiltepin pepper (Capsicum annuum) “mother of all peppers” fruits are tiny but pack a punch! In Mexico, they are also called “chile” and sometimes “bird peppers”……………The Coronado National Forest in Arizona has reserved 2,500 acres in the “Wild Chile Botanical Area”, that provides habitat for the largest population of chiltepin chile peppers (Capsicum annuum var. glabrisculum) north of Me

xico.

A small, fiery, round pepper native to Mexico known as chiltepin (Capsicum annuum) is the single wild progenitor of hundreds of sweet or hot pepper varieties found in grocery stores today (jalapeno, poblano, mirasol, cayenne, bell, and others). Habanero and Tabasco are two peppers that did not originate from chiltepin.

Chiltepin are the oldest as well as the hottest wild pepper in the Americas. They grow on the rocky surfaces of steep slopes and are difficult to find because they grow in among other shrubs.

Where Would You Like to See More Agricultural Funding Directed?

Where Would You Like to See More Agricultural Funding Directed?

The following are my suggestions: (1) Subsidizing Inputs for Family Farm holders (small scale Farmers) (2) Guarantee pricing for the small scale farmers produce (3)Providing C

redits to the Small Farmers.

Almost all of the millions of tons of synthetic fertilizers in use today were developed in the 1950s-1970s. They work, but half of what is applied to fields ends up in waterways and the atmosphere, adding to nitrate pollution, Dead Zones, and air pollution. We need to find ways to produce more effective, less polluting fertilizers more cheaply, thus making them available more widely. Greater uptake by crops and less waste and pollution could greatly ease world hunger without adding to energy or pollution problems. A relatively small commitment here could revolutionize the field and quickly yield great benefits.

To develop social, technical and financial skills to improve their livelihoods and take social action to change policies that affect them. In addition small farmers need capital to invest in improving their production and to help process what they produce in order to capture more of the market value of their products. More funding also needs to go to research specifically targeted to the needs and opportunities of small scale farmers………….

Agricultural funding” can no longer squander its resources on ‘cookie-cutter’ approaches. It needs to be applied towards systems that foster creative and unique thinking skills, a true understanding of natural systems, the utilization of local resources under the tutelage of indigenous knowledge, as well as design systems that reunite agriculture with a community’s needs: food and nutrition security, energy efficiency, renewable fuel sources, natural building supplies, local medicines, fibers, economics, labor, and more. Often times, these are the approaches that take no funding at all…..

Sikkim Aims to Become ‘Fully Organic’ by 2015:

Food for thought:

Sikkim Aims to Become ‘Fully Organic’ by 2015:

Eco-friendly cabbage being sown in Sikkim………..

Gangtok: Sikkim, which started eco-friendly farming from a small area of land about a decade ago, is set to become a fully organic state by 2015, a senior state official has said.

“The entire state will be converted into a certified organic state by 2015. Our schemes and policies are well tuned to realise that goal,” Sikkim Agriculture Secretary Vishal Chauhan told IANS here.

According to him, structured organic farming started in the state in 2003 when the government set up the dedicated Sikkim State Organic Board to promote farm techniques that prohibit the use of manufactured synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.

“Our Chief Minister, Pawan Chamling, had also introduced a resolution in the assembly seeking to convert entire farming in the state to organic. Now, our farming relies on techniques such as green manure, compost, biological pest control and crop rotation.”

Over 8,000 hectares of land was covered under organic farming between 2003 to 2009. In a bid to make the state fully organic, various state government agencies have been working in coordination.

The state government has completely stopped lifting of quota of chemical fertilizers extended by the Government of India since 2006-07 and all sales points for chemical fertilizers in public and private sector have been shut.

Sikkim government has also promoted large-scale use of bio-fertilisers and provides certified manufactured organic manure to farmers as an alternative to their chemical substitures, Chauhan said.

In order to provide alternatives to farmers, 24,536 rural compost units and 14,487 vermi-compost units were constructed in farmers’ fields till 2009.

The bio-village programme was also adopted in 2003 and around 400 villages were adopted by the state government till 2009 to benefit some 14,000 farmers and 14,000 acres of land in four districts of the state.

“We have also launched the comprehensive ‘Sikkim Organic Mission’ as a nodal agency to implement and monitor the programme in time-bound manner. A state-level apex body with the chief minister as its chair oversees the implementation,” the official said.

“Under the new initiative, the government has set a target to implement fully-organic farming technique by 2015. Organic products sell at a premium, which will benefit over 50,000 families in the state and promote organic agro-tourism.”

According to latest data, Sikkim produces some 80,000 million tonnes of farm products, including 45,890 million tonnes of ginger, 3,510 million tonnes of large cardamom, 2,790 million tonnes of turmeric, 4,100 million tonnes of buckwheat, 3,210 million tonnes of urad daal and 20,110 million tonnes of mandarin oranges.

“Significant portion of these products are already organic.”

Tiny aphids act like a plant and trap light to convert to energy

Latest finding:

Tiny aphids act like a plant and trap light to convert to energy

They might be one of the only animals to mimic these photosynthesis-like abilities.

A tiny insect called the pea aphid might be one of the only animals to turn sunlight into energy like a plant.

Scientists say they’ve found evidence suggesting that the insect (Acyrthosiphon pisum) traps light to produce adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, the cellular energy currency that powers biochemical reactions. (For animals, cells typically convert energy from food into ATP, while plants make ATP via photosynthesis.).

Scientists have found that like plants, sap-sucking pea aphids (shown here) can trap light and use it to make ATP, an energy molecule, though they aren’t sure what the insects use the energy for.

Mangoes & rain especially @ vegetation…………..perhaps my next study topic to see rain @ this time of the growth cycle & it’s impact on post harvest rots……………..A) fresh flushes (leaves) & rain……..with preventive “contact & systematic” fungicides & without And post application of fungicides both groups soon after when rain is stopped…….

B) Rain @ Mix trends on tree mature leaves, no new vegetation and new vegetative growth on the same trees……….with & without fungicides of any group……..

Are u planning to avoid post harvest rots pls do apply systematic fungicides soon after when rain is stopped………along with insecticides……..if there is too much rain & rain water is standing too long and new vegetative growth is on the tree pls do apply major & micronutrients as the foliar feed………….Note not mentioning drainage…….perhaps that area is yet to be learned…….”after rain in any area if orchards recieved too much rain with no drainage pls do post us we have something to share about it”

1. overall improvements in Irrigation water distribution systems including the reduction in seepage & water use efficiency from conventional to modern approaches & methods….

2. Improvement in drainage systems…….. the most important one…

3. change in cropping pattern according to above mentioned systems

4. introduction of short duration crops etc…. or others that survives the worst “flooding & drought”……….we have now 3 worst years data can support the timings………..

5. Improvements in overall farming management systems

6. Agro forestry, fishery, poultry & livestock farming inclusive of it……

Infected Australian sheep unloaded in Karachi

Very Interesting Story: Infected Australian sheep unloaded in Karachi……..Australian sheep infected with scabby mouth disease have made their way into the metropolis………..

Approximately 75,000 sheep departed from Australia on board the Fremantle-based Wellard Rural Exports ship Ocean Drover. Their destination was countries in the Middle East. 53,000 sheep were offloaded in Qatar and Oman, while the remaining 22,000 were to be transported to Bahrain.

However when the Ocean Drover arrived in Bahrain on August 29 it was asked to leave its berth until matters were resolved. It was here that concerns were raised in regards to the sheep being infected with scabby mouth disease.

The ship remained in the waters of Bahrain for 14 days and the sheep were not allowed to be unloaded. According to standard rules, the ship should have returned to Australia, however its next destination was a city which was not even part of its original route.

The Ocean Drover docked in Port Qasim, Karachi on Tuesday night. The 22,000 sheep were offloaded and handed over to an unknown buyer. This scandal was covered by international newspapers however Pakistani authorities failed to take any action. Now Infected sheep to be culled, says commissioner…………..….source Geo TV…..

Scientists develop new carbon for nitrogen fertilizer

Scientists develop new carbon accounting method to reduce farmers’ use of nitrogen fertilizer. Large amounts of nitrogen fertilizer lead to nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas, in the atmosphere. “Nitrogen costs farmers money and degrades water and air quality, with significant health, biodiversity and downstream economic effects.”

When farmers reduce their nitrogen fertilizer use, they can use the methodology as a means of generating carbon credits. These credits can be traded in carbon markets for financial payments.

Afghan workers pluck saffron flowers

Afghan workers pluck saffron flowers on a farm on November 09, 2010 in Herat, Afghanistan. Around 2500 farmers, in eight provinces, are working on saffron farms for export mostly to India and some European countries. The trade in saffron is estimated to be of an annual value in excess of 200 million USD to Afghanistan. Agricultural produce programs, including Saffron, are being offered to farmers as an alternative to the harvesting of poppies, used in the production of heroin. In western Herat province, which borders Iran, the challenge is to be able to convince farmers of the long term benefits of replacing the growing of poppies with the purple crocus plants whose highly prized stigmas produce the spice used as a seasoning and a coloring agent in cooking.

Here are a few important facts about the regulations governing pesticide sales

Here are a few important facts about the regulations governing pesticide sales

1. Distributors, dealers and retailers must be licensed to sell restricted-use pesticides.

2. Restricted-use pesticides can be sold only to applicators who are certified to apply them.

3. Some states regulate the sale of restricted-use pesticides even more strictly than the federal government. Some require a license to sell general-use pesticides as well.

4. All pesticides sold must be unadulterated – without any modification of the product and/or labeling. For example, it is illegal to dilute a pesticide prior to sale.

5. The seller is responsible for stocking only pesticide products that have been registered by the regulatory agencies.

6. Sales of restricted-use pesticides must be carefully documented. Some states require similar documentation for the sale of pesticides approved for use by the general public.

7. The seller must store pesticides properly – according to label requirements and government regulations – and inspect the storage area regularly. For example, warning signs may be required, as well as suitable materials to absorb leaks and a plan for managing fires.

8. Sellers must follow very specific laws regarding refillable containers, repackaging of pesticide products and containment structures for certain products.

9. Pesticides sold over the Internet are not exempt from federal and state pesticide laws.

10. Sellers who ship or deliver pesticides must follow regulations governing their safe transport within and between states.

Reliability/Quality of Agriculture Information Sources

The most useful asset a farmer can have to help with the management of risk is good information. There are many sources of information available to farmers. However, the most appropriate place to look for information depends on the type of risk with which the farmer is concerned. Among the most common risk factors that farmers face are weath

er, crop and livestock diseases, pests, adoption of new technologies, fluctuating prices, and government programs and policies.

The most widely used information sourcing method in Pakistan is from one farmer to another or looking @ outside the fence……and many farmers usually approach to contractors as they have huge influence upon farmers……no matter that information is wrong or right…….Farmers do resist & most of the time cannot differentiate in between quality information based on scientific evidences & ordinary information based on traditions…..Perhaps lack of education is main factor for that resistance from the farmers………….
