Junagadh – 362 001
INTRODUCTION :
This station was established in the year 1965-66 as small research scheme. But expansion took place after the establishment of All India Coordinated Pulses Improvement at Junagadh during 1975-76. This station became mandatory centre for chickpea research at national level under AICRP on chickpea in 1993. It also recognized as sub centre of pigeonpea under AICRP on pigeonpea project in the year 2001. The center is engaged with applied research in crop improvement, agronomy, entomology and plant pathology disciplines with respect to chickpea, pigeonpea, mungbean and urdbean. Moreover this center is also collaborating with ICAR, ICRISAT and other agencies for chickpea and pigeonpea improvement programme. Besides research activities, this centre is engaged in the production of nucleus and breeder seed of chickpea and pigeonpea. Scientists also participate in P. G. research and guiding of P. G. students.
MANDATE :
1. Collection, evaluation and maintenance of germplasm of different pulse crops like chickpea, pigeonpea, mungbean and urdbean.
2. Development of varieties of above crops with high yield potential, better grain quality and tolerance to different biotic and abiotic stress.
3. Development of location specific production and protection technologies.
4. Dissemination of technology to the farmers.
5. Monitoring the diseases & insect pests. Screening of genotypes against diseases & key insects and integrated management of insect pests of pulses.

For the popularization of newly released chickpea variety among farmers along with improved package of practices, 10 FLDs were conducted in different villages of Saurashtra region in each year. Results clearly indicated the superiority of improved package of practices over farmers’ practices. Farmers got yield advantage ranging from 11.60 to 21.62 per cent. Another advantage of FLD was observed in the awareness of superiority of new variety GJG 3 and GG 5. Some low cost technology like seed treatment and 2% spray of urea as well as application of bio agents like Trichoderma also became familiar among farmers. FLD farmers sold seed of GJG 3 and GG 5 to neighbour farmers in the next year. This way FLDs are useful in spread of new variety.
(B) FLDS ON GROUNDNUT-PIGEONPEA RELAY CROPPING SYSTEM:
Impact of FLDs:
The rainfall in Saurashtra is erratic and scanty. The major groundnut crop is always under high risk. Farmers have adopted pigeonpea as a relay crop in groundnut because of the following reasons.
1. It does not reduce the area of groundnut as pigeonpea is being sown between two rows of groundnut in the month of August.
2. It does not decrease the yield of groundnut; hence the income from pigeonpea is treated as an additional income.
3. It covers the risk of major crop of groundnut in irregular monsoon and scarcity condition.
4. It provides valuable nutritive fodder for cattle, which is an essential requirement for the farmers of Saurashtra.
5. It can be grown with limited irrigation facilities in which any other winter crop can not be grown.
Since last two decades more than 300 FLDs were conducted on groundnut-pigeonpea relay cropping system in six districts of Gujarat. The tested pigeonpea varieties were BDN 2, BSMR 853, BSMR 736 and GT 101. Pigeonpea varieties BDN 2 and GT 101 were highly popular among the farmers as these varieties require only 2-3 irrigations after end of the monsoon. FLD farmers harvested on an average 1299 kg/ha seed yield. Pigeonpea as a relay crop in groundnut was found highly remunerative without any adverse effect on sole groundnut yield. The market price of pigeonpea is highly attractive hence farmers adopting this system quickly. Pigeonpea variety GJP 1 has been demonstrated in FLDs during kharif 2017-18 to 2020-21. In kharif 2020-21 variety GJP 1 produced on an average 2541 kg/ha seed yield in varietal demonstrations which was 29.05% higher over farmers’ practices. Over all farmers got 17.00 to 29.05% increase in seed yield. The performance was appreciated by the farmers of FLDs. This variety is become popular among farmer.

RECOMMENDATIONS:-
CROP PRODUCTION
CHICKPEA
Effect of biofertilizer along with molybdenum application on yield of chickpea
The farmers of South Saurashtra Agro-climatic Zone growing irrigated chickpea are advised to treat seeds with Rhizobium culture @ 25 g/kg seed + phosphate solubilizing bacterial culture (Bacillus subtilis) 30 g/kg seed along with recommended dose of fertilizers (20:40 N:P2O5 kg/ha) for securing higher yield and net return. Application of molybdenumin chickpea was not found advantageous.
Evaluation of chickpea varieties under different dates of sowing under irrigated condition
The farmers of South Saurashtra Agro-climatic Zone growing irrigated chickpea are advised to sow the crop during first fortnight of November (mean minimum temperature 19.9 °C and mean maximum temperature 34.7 °C) for securing higher yield and net return.
Effect of different irrigation scheduling and irrigation interval through drip on chickpea
The farmers of South Saurashtra Agro-climatic Zone growing chickpea under drip irrigation system are recommended to irrigate the crop with drip system at 0.8 ETc at 5 days interval through drip after two flood irrigations for getting higher yield, net return and 27 % saving of irrigation water.
