Abstract:
SWI transplantation is very effective, so it is latest method of Wheat cultivation that will help in feeding the increasing population of India by increased yield with low cost. The study was conducted in 15 villages of Bhagyanagar block of Auraiya district for the first time by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Auraiya (U.P.) under Pilot Project for Promotion of System of Wheat Intensification under FTTF in Auraiya district of U.P. funded by NABARD, Lucknow (U.P.). 10 farmers from each selected village were selected to cultivate wheat with the help of SWI method. Thus total 150 farmers were selected for the study. The demonstration was conducted in 36 ha. Land in 2012-2014. This experiment compared the performance of wheat under System of Wheat Intensification (SWI) and conventional method. The cost of cultivation was found more i.e. Rs. 2163/ha in SWI technique (Rs. 34763) as compare to conventional method (Rs.32600). In Rabi 2012 and 14 the Average wheat yield of SWI was 46.12 q/ha. It was about 22.45% higher than conventional method (37.6 q/ha) 2013-14. It also saved seed requirement about 75-80% seed saving Only 20-25 kg/ha).
