TERIs Initiatives

• Morphologically superior germplasm collected
  through clonal as well as seed based material
  from various agro-climatic regions
• Test plantation for long term evaluation are
  raised between 2002-2004

What is Mycorrhiza?
Myco Fungus Rhiza Roots Term coined by A B
Frank (1889) Mycorrhiza is a name for beneficial
fungal group and plant root association,
providing an array of benefits in nutrient
uptake and general plant productivity.

MYCORRHIZA

Advantages of mycorrhized Jatropha

• 95 seed germination success
• Early fruition and flowering- 7 months onwards as
  against a year with conventional clonal
  plantations two years from seed raised
  plantations
• Higher yields (20-30) with mycorrhiza
  inoculations than non-mycorrhizal plantations

7
Contd.

• Package of practices and better establishment of
  plantation achieved using mycorrhiza technology
  in
• Ash dumps
• Alkali Chlore sludge dumps
• Land affected due to distillery effluent
• Land affected due to paper and pulp mills
  effluent
• Tannery sludge overburdens and effluent affected
  soil
• Arid land
• Specific high altitude sites in Uttaranchal and
  North Bengal

Objectives for Institutional linkages

• Need to generate awareness about Jatropha
• Build confidence among stakeholders
• Provide an Institutional model for
  operationalizing the feedstock production at
  Panchayat Raj institutions level
• Define roles and responsibilities of different
  stakeholders
• Increase capacities of pivotal players
• Provide a foundation for private sector
  participation
• Provide mechanisms for sustainability

Area Under Agro-forestry (Including Farm
Forestry) over 6 Million Hectares

• Existing plantation with agriculture crops
• Acacia nilotica
• Dalbergia sissoo
• Acacia catechu
• Ziziphus spp.
• Populus deltoides
• Eucalyptus spp
• Albizia lebbeck
• (SourceReport of the task force on Greening
  India for livelihood security and sustainable
  development-Planning commission-July-2001)

26
Financial Benefit Jatropha Vs Poplar

• No. of plants
• Jatropha 900 (Including boundary)
• Poplar 500
• Crop rotation 8 Years
• Food grain crop Wheat and Bajra
• Area 1 Hectare
• Sum of Net Profit (Rupees)
• Poplar 2.02 Lakhs
• Jatropha 2.25 Lakhs

27
Potential From 6 Million Hectares Area

• Rotation 8 Years
• Food Grain crop Wheat/Bajra
• Net Benefit (Thousand Crore)
• Jatropha Based AFM 135.00
• Poplar Based AFM 121.00

28
Benefit From Jatropha in Agro-forestry

• Energy security
• One time investment for plantation
• Long duration crop (40 Years)
• Rural employment generation
• Regular income from planted area with least
  gestation period
• Bio-fencing

29
Govt. Initiatives for Future Promotion of
Agro-forestry in

• 10 million hectare irrigated land
• suffering from
• water logging,
• soil erosion
• salinity.  
• 18 million hectare rain-fed area
• suffering from
• Low crops
• soil erosion due to inadequate vegetation cover.

• Conclusions

• Panchyats can be central player for feedstock
  production.
• Knowledge lies with farming community that needs
  streamlining.
• Focused programme driven approach is necessary to
  make this mission successful.
