rented building due to shortage of official building. Under the Office of the
Horticulturist, Jagatsinghpur, there is a transit nursery at Kantaballavpur covering
0.6 hact. And under Horticulture Office, Tirtol, there is a farm covering 20.40 hact.
And there are 44 nos. extensive field staff for eight nos. of block and Tirtol farm in our district. The main objective of Transit Nursery is to raise qualityplanting materialsparticularly in respect of fruit plants for sale to the needy beneficiary at
Govt./Subsidised rate as per norms. Besides, the grafts and gootee are produced in the Sarala Coconut Farm, Tirtol for sale and distribution to the beneficiary under different schemes as per norms.
Economic Background and the Plan scheme:
In this category, various graft, gootee and quality seedling including coconut saplings are produced in the Sarala Coconut Farm, Tirtol. These quality planting materials are sold at Govt./subsidised rate to the required beneficiary as per guidelines. Besides, the farmers are trained in the technique of graft, gootee budding etc. in this farm. Further i.e. the Transit Nursery of Jagatsinghpur, the fruit seedlings are produced as per allotment in accordance to guideline and these are distributed / sold to the beneficiaries to increase the fertility status of soil and economic condition of the rural people. The seedlings/graft 7 gootee are produced as per allotment and guideline. But for the year 205-06, no action plan / allotment has been received for the production of grafts/gootee/seddlings. During the year

Name of the Scheme: Micro Management of Agriculture (CSP)
A) Fruit Plantation :
To increase in area production & productivity of selected fruit plants in the district, it has been proposed for Compact Area Banana Plantation in our district.
Besides, Backyard Plantation of Mango Crops are to be taken up to increase the nutritional status of the rural people. Similarly the old and senile plants are to be rejunivated by supplying plants for increasing the productivity.

i) Compact area Banana Plantation :
Banana is an important fruit crop in the coastal districts. As per guideline; compact are fruit plantations are to be taken up in a 4 hact. Patch for better feasibility. But since in our district; 4 hact patch in one pocket is not available and mostly the farmers have small land holding; hence if the banana plantation could be taken up collectively in various place as per compact are programme, the plantation would be successful. Under this programme, no work plan has been received from the
Directorate of Horticulture during 2005-06. During 2004-05, 20 hact. Of banana plantation has been achieved in our district @ 2500 nos. of suckers/hact. It is proposed to cover 40 hact. Under this programme during 2006-07 in our district under departmental work plan and with the help of ATMA project. As per the norms the banana suckers are to be procured from the verified field (i.e. verification of field by the competent technical team) at Govt. approved rate i.e. at
Rs. 3/- (which includes the sucker cost and transportation charges). Then these suckers will be distributed and /sold to the needy beneficiaries/ farmers at a subsidised rate as per guideline allowing subsidy prevailing at that time. The block wise proposed plantation target of banana crops is given in.
ii) Area expansion of Backyard Mango Plantation:
Under this programme Mango grafts are supplied to the poor farmers/ beneficiaries to raise the plants in their backyard area. The grafts are supplied to the needy beneficiaries as per the availability of the high land for Mango plantation. The objective is to increase the nutritional status of the soil and economic condition of rural poor. Since compact plantation of Mango requires 4 hact patch at one locality as per guideline which is not readily available in our district as per topography; hence it is proposed to cover the Mango plantation in backyard scheme. The rate of mango graft is Rs. 18/- per graft as per Govt. approved rate (except transportation).
These graft will be distributed /sold to the needy farmers at a subsidised rate as per guideline allowing a subsidy prevailing at that time. The block wise proposed plantation target of backyard Mango plantation is given in. iii) Area Expansion in Coconut Plantation :
Under this programme, coconut plants are planted in compact patch or in backyard high land which helps in increasing the nutritional status of soil and economic condition of rural people. In one hect. Area, 175 nos. of coconut plants are planted as per norms. The cost of coconut plants as per approved rate comes to Rs.20.50/local coconut seedlings and Rs. 32/TXD coconut seedlings at present. The coconut plants are procured from the departmental farm of our department as per need of the farmers of our district. During 2005-06, 8500 no. of coconut seedlings have been sold to the needy farmers of our district covering 30

hact. Land. Further, the coconut Devt. Board is giving 50% maintenance cost of the coconut plants subject to maximum Rs. 4,000/- per hact. In the planting year and Rs. 4000/- per hact. during 2 nd year. For availing subsidy from the coconut board ; the beneficiary has to plant a minimum of 10 nos. of plants at a spacing of of 20ft. apart in compact patches subject to maximum of 175 nos. plants in a area of one hact.
Under this programme 30 hact area have been achieved during 05-06 which includes plantation of 5250 nos., of coconut plants as per coconut development Board guideline in our district. Further it is proposed to cover
40 hact. of land under this programme during 2006-07 which includes plantation of 7000 nos. of coconut plants as compact / boundary plantation. The detail plantation could be covered under coconut Board
Assisted Programme /ATMA Project. The block wise proposed coconut plantation target is given in.
iv) Laying out of coconut demonstration plot under Coconut Board
Assisted Project.
Under this programme; coconut Development gives subsidy to the farmers who has at least 35 nos. i.e. 0.02. hact of fruit bearing coconut plants subject to maximum 175 nos of plants (1 hact.). in this programme the farmers are eligible to get 50% maintenance cost of fertilisers to be applied to the plants and for intercrops cultivation cost in shape of inputs subject to maximum of Rs.
17,500/- per hact. For consecutively two years for this purpose the bearing coconut plants should have been planted in compact patches with 20 ft. apart from plant to plant and row to row. During 2005-06; 25 hact. have been achieved under this programme and it is proposed to cover 40 hact. under this project during 2006-07 in our district. The detail proposed block-wise target is given in.
V) Establishment of Organic Manure (Vermi Compost) :
Under this programme emphasis has been given to utilise the organic fertiliser /
Bio-fertilizer in plantation crops for higher production and productivity. Since the availability of farmyard manures are decreasing day by day, hence it is proposed to impart training to the farmer for making the enriched compost pit. The cost structure of one big size pit (i.e. 15 mt x 1.5 mt. x 1 mt.) comes to Rs. 40,000/- per pit and the cost structure of small one (i.e. 1.5 mt. x 1.5 mt. x 1 mt.) comes to Rs.
4,000/- per pit as per prevailing rate. Coconut Development Board, Bhubaneswar ia giving subsidy for making such pit subject to maximum of 50% of the cost.
During 2005-06 four nos. of big size compost pit is to be established in our district.
The details proposed block wise list for establishment of vermi-compost pit (big size) is mentioned in .
