ICAR-Agricultural Technology Application Research Institute (ATARI), Jodhpur is one of the 11 ICAR-ATARIs formerly known as Zonal Project Directorates (ZPDs) functioning under Division of Agricultural Extension. ICAR has established a vast network of KVKs all over the country under the administrative control of various ICAR institutes, State Agricultural Universities (SAUs), State Department of Agriculture, Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and other institutes for implementing the central governmental projects/schemes. In the Zone, 7 Agricultural Technology Information Centres (ATICs) are working for delivering the “Single Window” delivery system. Since, Zonal Project Directorate has been elevated as ICAR-Agricultural Technology Application Research Institute (ATARI), the mandates of ICAR-ATARI has also been changed where socio-economic research is one of the integral components.

On Farm Testing

During the period, the scientists conducted nine OFTs on Orobanchae control in mustard, effect of supplementary feeding in management of anoestrous in buffalo, Zn management in cauliflower, assessment of wheat varieties in Dausa district, Improved nursery management practices in chilli. Effect of substitutional feeding of concentration by azola in milk production in buffalos. Maximization yield by using foliar spray of water soluble NPK in wheat & barley. Effect of water soluble fertilizers on tomato growth and yield.

S.N. Title Result
1 Effect of supplementary feeding in management of anoestrous in Buffalo 60% animals were conceived with feeding concentrate + green fodder + mineral mixture 50 gm./day/animal + 500 gm. germinated wheat.
2 Zinc Management in Cauliflower T3- RDF + ZnSO4 @ 20kg/ha performed better in quality and Curd yield.
3 Assessment of wheat varieties in Dausa district Raj-4120 found better in grain yield followed by Raj-4079.
4 Effect of substitutional feeding of concentration by azola on milk production in buffalos 80% animals were conceived with feeding concentrate + green fodder + mineral mixture 50 gm./day/animal + 500 gm. germinated wheat.
5 Maximization yield by using foliar spray of water soluble fertilization NPK (19:19:19) in wheat. Treatment T3 i.e. Recommended practice (N90P20)+ spray of soluble NPK (19:19:19)at tillering and panicle initiation stage @ 1.5% recorded highest grain yield (47.14 q) which is 13.4% higher over farmers practice (N120P35)
6 Maximization yield by using foliar spray of water soluble fertilization NPK (19:19:19) in barley. Treatment T3 i.e. Recommended practice (N60P20)+ spray of soluble NPK (19:19:19)at tillering and panicle initiation stage @ 1.5% recorded highest grain yield (55.11 q) which is 19.23% higher over farmers practice (N45P20)
7 Effect of water soluble fertilizers on tomato growth and yield
8 Improved nursery management practices in Chilli.
