The present study was conducted in Mokokchung district of Nagaland. Purposively eight villages were selected from four selected rural development (RD) blocks. From those eight villages 200 respondents were selected randomly. The study reveals that the major constrains of high quality protein maize production was noted in non-availability of quality seed by 89.50 per cent of the respondents which comes under infrastructural constraint.Keywords

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the fourth most important food crop and the primary non-grain food commodity in the world. At present China is the biggest potato producer globally. Total potato produced from China and India accounts for one third production of the rest of world. India accounted for 45.57 million MT of potato from an area of 20.63 lakh ha in the year 2015-16 with an average productivity of 22.10 t/ha. The potato grows quickly and contains more energy and protein per unit area when compared to a cereal crop. Therefore, it plays a vital role in ensuring food security, which is a major concern for the country. In North Eastern region of India, the state of Assam leads in area and the state of Tripura leads in productivity of potato. Tripura having an area of 5.4 thousand hectare under potato cultivation has an average productivity of 17.80 tonnes/ha which is below the average national productivity of 22.10 tonnes/ha (NHRDF, 2016). A study was conducted in Sepahijala district of Tripura by randomly selecting two of its rural development blocks. The main objective of the study was to analyse the socio - economic and personal characteristics of the potato growers and assess their perceived training needs in context of improved potato cultivation and increase the productivity of the crop. Data analysis was done using SAS software. The findings revealed that majority of the farmers had training needs in the area of disease management followed by insect pest management and balanced use of manures and fertilizers. Correlation analysis revealed that variables age, education and knowledge had highly significant association with the variable “training needs” of the potato farmers. Variables age and knowledge were found important to explain training needs of the potato growers.Keywords

The ex-post facto study was conducted in Mokokchung district of Nagaland to know the problem faced by the Naga King Chilli growers in Mokokchung district of Nagaland”. Further 140 farmers were selected from different villages in two different blocks under Mokokchung. Results revealed from the study that lack of proper post harvest storage of Naga King chilli (90.00 %) was found the most problematic area faced by majority of the Naga King chilli growers.Keywords

North Pulinpur with GPS location 23°52.836¹ N, 91°35.275¹ E and elevation 47m is one of the draught prone tribal inhabited ADC village of the district Khowai under the state Tripura. The total geographical area of the village is 950 hectare with cultivable area of about 250 hectare only among 806 farm families. So, most of the families are holding either small or marginal farms. There was no perennial streams, rivers, ponds and other irrigation facilities in the village. Prevailing temperature ranges from 16°C to 37°C. Annual rainfall ranges from 2050 to 2550 mm, but almost whole amount goes out to neighboring lower elevated village. Agriculture is the mainstay of the people, about 85 per cent of them engage in agriculture and its allied activities. Farmers earned their livelihood from rainfed rice based monocropped cultivation. Moisture stress during Kharifdry spell and winter season which lead to rice based mono-cropping system. Under the National Innovations in Climate Resilient Agriculture(NICRA) Project KVK,Khowai has constructed and rejuvenated 22 water bodies from 2011-12 to 2018-19 at North Pulinpur ADC village; all of which provided life saving irrigation for paddy during Kharifdry spell as well as during Rabiseason through nano pumps installed nearby farm ponds. Before implementation of NICRA project to North Pulinpur ADC village, most of the areas remain dry during Rabi season. After the intervention, approximately 26187 ft 3 rainwater had been harvested covering an area of about 135.0 ha. for winter vegetables and Rabi maize cultivation and during dry period. In addition to this, a total area of about 1 ha waste land had been converted to paddy land using water from community bund. Ponds were also used for composite fish culture with average yield of 30 q/ farmer/year/ha during 2018-19.Keywords
