I. INTRODUCTION
Maharashtra is the third largest state in population and second
largest in area. Dhule district situated in the northern side of Mahrashtra. It belongs to
khandesh region. In comes under Nashik revenue division, which comprises of 4 districts
viz. Dhule, Jalgaon,Nandurbar & Nashik. Agriculture department of Dhule District
comes under the jurisdiction of Joint Directorate of Agriculture, Nasik.
Dhule district comprises of 4 tahasils viz. Dhule, Shirpur, Shindkheda and
Sakri. The total geographical area of the district is 8063 sq.km. Dhule district lies
between 20.38 to 21.61 Latitude and 73.50 to 75.11 E longitude. The panzara and Tapi
are the main rivers flowing through the district. The soils are mostly formed from igneous
rocks and are black, shallow and calcareous types having different depths. Agriculture in
the district largely depends upon monsoon rainfall. The average normal preciptiation of
district is 592 mm, Shirpur tahasil receives highest rainfall 1154 mm. Where as Dhule
621 mm, tahsil receives lowest rainfall 621mm. The highest temperature goes upto 45°c
in summer where as minimum temperature is observed upto 8 °c in winter season. At
present the irrigation potential by wing all sources is 14.5%. The cultivable land come to
be 4,64,211 ha. As per 2001 census total population was 17,07,947. The share of rural
population is 73.89%.
The district falls within there agro­ecologic zones. Dhule and Shindkheda
and East part of Sakri comes under zone Scarcity zone(No. VI). Shirpur tahsil comes
under assured rainfall zone (Zone No.VIII) and western part of sakri tahsil comes under
Transition –II (zone No. V) .
The crops are taken in three seasons in a year viz. Kharif , Rabi and
summer. Main crops grown in the dirstrict are Bajara (29.8%), Jowar (15.8%), Ground­
nut (9.34%), Mung (4.1%), Paddy (1.25%), Among cash crops, Sugarcane (1.06%) ,
Chilli (.71%), Cotton are mostly grown in the district. Apart from this fruit crops like
lemon, Orange, Mango, Papaya, Ber, Awala are mainly grown in the district.
During the last decade a member of technological and management tools
have facilitated the farmers involvement in an effective manner, based upon these tools a
participatory methodology has been worked but for preparing a strategic extension and
research plan of Dhule district. This document has emerged through application of
various participating tools in 3 villages representing 3 agroeco­situation in the Dhule
district.

METHODOLOGY
The strategic research extension plan basically has two sections
namely ″Diagnostic" section and ″ strategic " section . the diagnostic section has two sub
section namely Information and analysis . In the information sub section information
from the different line department gathered and recorded along with the detailed date of
the representative village under each AES .
In the Analysis sub section the data so obtained is analysed . The whole
process was carried out in steps as described in the following paragraphs .
The main step followed for preparations of strategic extension and
research plan (SREP) are as follows
1. Orientation Workshop
The district level orientation seminar on extention reforms for one day
Was organized at district head quarters on 21 June 2005 . Collector and all
Governing broad member was participated . The District level ATMA
management committee seminar held on 22.02.06 at DSAO Dhule office all
s committee member participated .
2. Formation of agriculture ecological situation teams
A total 25 personnel from different line departments viz. Agricultural
university, Agricultural department, Animal Husbandry, Forestry, Social Forestry,
Horticulture and NGO were grouped in Three AES teams as the district is
divided in to 3 ecological units. The 3 teams were entrusted the work of one
ecological unit in the district.
3. Training to the personnel
These officers were trained theoretically and practically for two days work
shop at Dhule by manage expert Details training programme organizised at
Regional Agrilculture and Extention Training Institute Nasik From 16.03.06 to
20.03.06 . For different aspects, management tools, techniques and field visits
were organized in the district for collection of information data for the preparation
of SREP.
4. The following thrust areas have been identified to train the officials
­ Focus and on farm and the farming systems approach (FSA)
­ Team building
­ Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA)
­ Farming situation based extension (FSBE)
­ Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
­ Integrated Nutrient Management (INM)
­ Value addition and marketing intervention
­ Multiple communication and information support
­ Empowerment of farming community
5. Agro­ecological situation in Dhule district

Dhule district was divided in to three zones according to Agro­ecological
situation prevailing in different parts of the district. These situations are based on
rainfall topography, soil type etc. The situation wise survey helped in
understanding the situation, specific research and extension priorities and needs
for strategic planning of the district.
Data was collected from selected villages under each AES. The specific
survey was undertaken for missing enterprises in the villages in the selected
studies.
The district level information was also gathered from various line
departments, agriculture, animal husbandry, fisheries and dairy development.
National Agricultural Research Project, Krushi Vigyan Kendra, Non Govt.
agencies, various publication, periodical reports of Govt. agencies were used.

The data collected by AES teams of the respective AES were checked
followed by its compilation and primary analysis. The data gathered from various
sources were discussed among the teams as per checklists. The data collected
according to checklist was consolidated analyzed and interpreted for its
presentation.

A one­day district level workshop was organized in which following
officers / persons participated.
­ Farmers from represented villages of AES
­ Innovative and progressive farmers from the district
­ District level officers from line department scientist SAUs, KVKs, NGO,
SAMETI, RAMETI,
­ Manage consultant, Commissioner Agriculture M.S., AES teams
presented the results obtained during their field studies. There after the all
participants discussed together the relevant issues at micro and macro
levels which needs to be considered in evolving strategies.
6. Consolidation of Data
During the presentation of initial funding in the forum, their suggestions
were sought for incorporation in final strategic research and extension plan
(SREP).
7. Field Survey
The primary data was collected from villages by using PRA techniques
initially formal discussion of AES team members and district heads and
MANAGE consultants was organized at district training center Dhule while
conducting PRA The cooperation from resource poor to resources rich farmers
and landless villagers was obtained. Following tools and techniques of PRA was
used during field studies.
Tools and techniques used for PRA
1) Social mapping
2) Resource mapping
3) Transit walk
4) Matrix ranking
5) Seasonally
6) Trend analysis
7) Venn diagram
8) Wealth ranking
Detailed field visits were also carried out to understand field problems,
social and economical back ground of the village and villagers. The component of
of farm women landless women and women’s engaged in other activities are
covered in survey. The secondary data were collected from various government

agencies and department publication, revenue officials, village development
officers, agricultural assistant, teachers Gramsevak, Anganwadi sevika. etc.
The information collected was verified in­group discussion and sharing
with each other. The checklists were also prepared to finalize the verification. The
technological gaps were identified and discussed with farmers for its reasons and
its solutions both local and external. Revisiting and collecting the missing data
filled the gaps in information.
The swot analysis was carried out in each AES situation an accordingly
the resource management system was analyzed and working out the strength
weaknesses and opportunities available in the area, were analyzed ultimately
leading towards development of strategies for research and extension.
technological gap was worked out in each AES situation for different crop grown.
Preparation of SREP report:
The suggestions received at various levels were incorporated in the data of
respective AESs In order to prepare the final Strategic Research and Extension
plan (SREP) a district core team consisting of representative of line departments.

ON GONING EXTENSION, DEVELOPMENT AND RESEARCH
ACTIVITIES OF DEPARTMENTS, ORGANIZATIONS, INSTITUTIONS
IN DISTRICT UNDER PUBLIC, PRIVATE AND NGO SECTORS.
The agriculture is predominantly rainfall and annual
between 690 to 850 mm. The district is endowed with retentive black soils and
thus large portion represent kharif­Rabi cropping pattern , Cotton ,sorghum, pearl
millet, mung, urd, peigeon pea, groundnut, sunflower, soyabeam, sesamum, are
principal kharif crops, grown in the district. While wheat, gram, safflower,
dominate the rabi, Sugarcane is also one of the important cash crop grown in the
district. Horticultural crops, such as Pomogrante, ber, fig, guava, tamarind and
papaya. A wide range of vegetables viz, tomato, brinjal, chillies, cabbage,
cauliflower, leafy vegetables are produced in bulk and marketed within the district
and out side the district.
RESARCH ACCOMPLISHMENT:
Hybrids and varieties:
High yielding varieties and hybrids of different crops are either
evolved or released for cultivation in the region, which are superior in
yields and tolerant to prominent diseases of the locations.
Production Technology:
The entire production technology of field crops cereals, pulses,
oil, seeds and commercial crops is standardized depending upon the
farming and ecological situation.
Cropping systems:
The cropping systems research was concentrated to identify and
evaluate the productivity, profitability, adoptability and stability of major
cereals, pulses, oil seeds and cash crops based cropping systems under different
situations viz. Rainfed, limited irrigation and different type of soil and rainfall.
Dryland Agriculture Technology:
The research work carried on dryland agriculture in the soil and
water conservation , insitu soil moisture conservation technique, rainfed
cropping systems, inter cropping, rain water harvesting , land treatments. The
contingent crop planning to meet the aberrant weather situation is also suggested
for kharif and rabi crops.
Water Management:
Water is crucial factor in crop production. The irrigation
potential in the region is meagre therefore research on efficient water
management is of great importance. Water management practices based on soil
moisture depletion, evaporative demand of atmosphere and critical growth stage
in different crops have been worked out. The studies on consumptive use of rain
and irrigation water carried out to use the water efficiently.
Crop Production Technology:
Pest and diseases problems in agricultural production are of
major economic importance and became the number one constraints in
increasing and stabilizing productions of all major crops. The research carried out

on these aspect resulted in formulation of complete plant protection umbrella for
different crops and cropping systems. The integrated pest management technology
which includes biological control, agronomical, cultural mechanical control has
crated awareness regarding judicious use of insecticides.
Horticulture:
In horticulture crops, an important step was in evolve crop
cultivars. The planting technology, supply material and package of
practices are standardized. Optimum pruning in ber and pomogranate are
standardized.
Post Harvest technology:
Efforts have been made to develop preservation process of
selected fruits and vegetables.
Animal Science:
Cross breeds of jersy and Holstein Friesian are also studied.
Mahatma Phule Krushi vidyapeeth, Rahuri has evolved Phule –Treveni as
a cross breed cow.

IX Marketing and Media strategy
Over the years, it has been noted that in the farm sector, marketing has been receiving a
lower priority than production. The government investment in agriculture marketing have been an
insignificant proposition of the total investment in agriculture and allied setors at the central and
state levels, even through potential contributions which efficient marketing can make the over all
development of the form sector have been realized. Our agriculture is increasing and becoming a
gamble in the market. Production goes up when farmers are assured of remunerative market. This
is clear from our Experience in the commodities like onion , cotton , chilli & etc. The present
pathways of ensuring minimum support price through food Corporation of India or Government
agencies in sleeted Commodities in selected are one proving to the economically unsustainable
although they were important public police instrument at on line.
Transportation processing storage and market intelligence are few vital Elements of an
efficient marketing system, sound a grand marketing strategy is the first step to fetch of farmers a
judicious return for their produce.
So framers need to know answer to Question like what to produce, when to produce
Quantity of production, how to sell, place of selling, price of selling, Price of the produce,
produce, Quality of a product to sell (Value addition)
Marketing Strategies
1. Changing the attitude of the farmers for what to produce first and sell next.
2. Making exposure visits of farmers to different markets to understand how other
farmers are producing as per the market demand ie market need.
3. Providing training regarding packing and method of transportation.
4. Helping farmers to use biggest advantage of not using chemical fertilize and being
organic produced for this there is a need to establish internationally acceptable
certification centers of products emerging from organic farming.
5. Opening of Agro Clinic and Agri business centers to provide single window service
in relation to input supply and market information.
6. Linking rural produces with urban consumers through organization approach.
7. Training and demonstration for farmers by involving specialist about the value
addition to their product
8. Providing market survey and market intelligence services to farmers
9. Encourage buy back arrangement for farm produce with private/ NGOS/ input
suppliers input inpherse.
10. Encouraging SHG’s to create Market facilities locally for their products
11. Encouraging local farmers organizations to serve as linkage organization with
external reputed market organization
12. Providing information to farmers on market avenues, market trend prevailing market
prices and other relevant information periodically through TV, Radio, Newspaper.
OPERATIONAL MODALATIES
Agricultural technology management agency (ATMA), Dhule District, an autonomous
body created at District level shall function under the overall guidance of ATMA governing board

(GB), represented by the officials and non­ official and non – official members under the
chairmanship of collector. Day to day activity of ATMA management committee (AMC),
comprising of the district heads of Agriculture and line Departments, representative of KVK and
NGOs sector under the executive chairmanship of Dhule Project Director and Deputy Project
director of ATMA will assist the executive Charmin in day­to­day activities. The detail
operational modalities and fund flow mechanism are described bellow.
11.1 PREPARATION OF ANNUAL/SEASONAL TALUKA CATION PLAN
Based on the strategies developed for each AES a detailed taluka action plan (TAP) or
seasonal plan for each taluka has to be prepared as taluka is the implementing unit. Each FIAC
team comprising of TTT and FAC members would prepare the taluka action plan. That would
spell out the activities to be carried out in the taluka While preparing the taluka action plan, the
following steps are followed.
1) Identification of Major Agro­Ecological situation coming under each taluka and
number of villages covered under each AES.
2) At least one representative village is to be selected from each AES in the taluka
representative village.
3) Using PRA and management tools, participatory data is to be collected from the
representative villages.
4) Matching the primary information and information already depicted in SREP of the
district, the annual action plan for the AES is to be worked out.
5) By prioritizing the extension issues, TAP will be prepared.
6) The TAP should include the dovetailing of on­going schemes to NATP.
11.2 TECHNICAL APPROVAL OF TAP :
The taluka action plan prepared by FIAC team is to the approved by FAC at the taluka
level and them sent to ATMA for necessary review by management committee and final approval
by governing board (GB), ATMA
