14. P&SB Scheme for Eco-Hatchery for Carp Seed Production and Extension Services
Objective:
To breed commonly cultivated six species of fish viz.,Catia (catia), Rohu (Labeo rohita), Mrigal (Cirrhinus mrigala), Silver carp (Hypotheimichthys molitrix), Grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idelia) and Common carp (Cyprinus carpio).
To facilitate quality production of fish seed of cultivable varieties
Location and Area of Operation: The project may be located in high land areas which are near to areas having concentration of fish farmers.
Project Components: Breeding pool, hatching pool, overhead tank, STW, pumpset, generator, guadshed.
15. P&SB Scheme for Soil Water Quality and Inputs Testing Laboratory Services Centre
Objective: To undertake soil testing irrigation water testing, etc. To arrange for suitable inputs like bio-fertilizer. etc.
Location and Area of Operation :
In order to have close interaction with the farmers and facilitate frequent field visit, the unit should be located in rural areas
like taluka head
quarter or an upcoming major panchayat head quarter. It is considered that a lab with capacity of 10,000
samples will have scope to cover a taluka. In areas having considerable saline/alkaline lands and irrigated garden lands
growing commercial crops and vegetables will have
ample potential for this kind of service.
Project Components: Laboratory Equipment (pH Meter, EC Meter, Photometer etc.) office equipment, furniture etc.
16. P&SB Scheme for Plant Protection Service Centre
Objective: To provide guidance and consultancy service for control of various pests & diseases, nematodes and weeds at reasonable cost to farmers, etc.
Location and Area of Operation:
The service centre may have a command area of 30,000-40,000 hac. having different multiple crops. Though there is potential
to set up one unit of this nature for each Panchayat, to start with one unit per taluka may be considered to fetch adequate business.
Commercial crop growing areas like fruits and vegetables, pulses, oilseeds, cotton etc. wig have more potential compared to
millet growing areas.
Project Components:Power sprayers, hand sprayers and dusters, refrigerators, stabiliser, microscope, audio visual aids/colour projection and materials etc.
