The students get an opportunity to work with the farmers in the field and
acquainted with various plant protection problems of the standing crops.
They collect data on pest damage every week. They shall maintain record of
plant protection work undertaken in the prescribed Performa given to them
by the Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology for this purpose.
The student will also conduct a survey on adoption of recommended plant
protection measures and the incidence/occurrence of different diseases and
insect pests on different crops in the village. Students shall submit 15
herbarium specimens each of insect damage and plant disease symptoms for
any of the crops grown in the village. Information on other plant disorders,
nematode problems, bird and rodent damage if any, shall also be mentioned
in the plant protection recorded separately. The students will also
demonstrate preparation of fungicidal / insecticide spray fluids for
important plant protection measures.

Course Contents :
Each student will take up an agro-economic survey of separate village
(including surrounding villages) as per questionnaire issued for this purpose
by the Department of Agril. Economics. He shall collect data on economic
conditions of the village, population, vital statistics, cropping, patterns,
irrigation facilities, resources endowment and its utilization, labour
problems and employment and other economic aspects covered in the
schedule/questionnaire. The student will also conduct a farm holding survey
as per proforma given to him by the department, and has to work out the
cost of cultivation of principal crops grown by the adopted farmer and two
other farmers. He has to develop alternate farm plans in consultation with
farmers and extension staff for re-organization of the farm business for
higher income.
Besides, students identify various marketing constraints of agricultural
produce.
The students shall record family budgets of the adopted farmers and two
other farmers families i.e. one Agricultural laborer and one rural artisan.
(Questionnaire for this purpose will be given to the student by the
Department of Agricultural Economics).
