| contents | <p>This report summarizes the main outcomes of the on farm field trials carried out throughout 2020-2021 in Chhatisgarh, India as part of the project “Improving pulse biodiversity in rice fallow areas of tribal belts of Central and East Indian states to bring resilience in the farming practice, provide livelihood support and enhance nutritional level of the tribal population” funded by the Benefit Sharing Fund (BSF) of the International Treaty of Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA) of the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations (UN).</p> <p>A major success of this project were the on-farm trials which were carried out in all 5 project sites to screen appropriate pulse and oil seed varieties via participatory variety selection for farmers identified traits. Seeds of farmer’s varieties collected through household surveys and improved varieties suggested by agricultural scientists were introduced in the project areas as a result of the field trials. In addition to the original focus on rice fallow season, the momentum created by the project expanded the scope of the field trials to pulses and oil seeds for monsoon season, late monsoon season and post monsoon (rice fallow) season.</p> <p>Based on the geography and climatic conditions field trials of different varieties of pulses were carried out: Pigeon pea, Black gram, Groundnut, Green gram, Cow pea, Kudrum (Hibiscus cannabinus), Ghagra (Vigna sinensis), Horseshoe gram, Gram, Khesari, Little Pea (<em>Pisum sativum</em>), Red lentil and oil seeds: White sesame, Black sesame, Red sesame, Niger, Mustard, Linseed and Sunflower. The field trials carried out as part of this project involved 78 tribal farmers who in turn received hands on training to carry out farm-trials for on-farm conservation and varietal selection. Through participatory variety selection phenotypes of the crops have been documented, seeds collected and conserved off-farms in the 5 community seed banks established under the project.</p> |
