WAYANAD PACKAGE
Wayanad is a distress district in the state and is the most backward district. In spite of
various schemes implemented in the district, the basic problems are hindering the development
of the district.
The agrarian economy of the district has been under distress in recent years. Wide
fluctuation in prices has brought in high degree of instability in farm incomes. The State and Central
Government have come out with intervention packages for the revival of the livelihood of the
affected population. Wayanad suffered some economic and environmental shocks mainly from
the sharp fall in the prices of pepper and coffee and a long period of unsustainable land use
practices. The recent crisis of ginger due to price and disease problem further aggravated the
crisis. The low prices of banana added another dimension to the crisis. Pepper is already in the
declining phase due to the incidence of pests and diseases, loss of erythrina standards due to
insect attack as well as declining productivity.
In order to revive the agrarian economy of the district, it is proposed to implement a
cafeteria of focused intervention, with appropriate backward and forward integration for an amount
of 19.00 crores during the year 2013-14.
The main components are shown below.

SOILS OF KERALA
Coastal Alluvium
These soils of marine origin are identified along the coastal plains and basin lands as a narrow
strip. The soils of the coastal plains are very deep with sandy texture. These soils have high water
table, the water holding capacity is poor due to the predominance of sand.
Alluvium
These soils occur 20m below MSL and is mainly noticed close to coastal alluvium, Kuttanad and
adjacent area and kole lands of Thrissur district. The soils are frequently flooded and submerged. Sandy
clay loam to clay is the predominant texture and medium fertility status is the general trend.
Kari Soils (Acid Sulphate Soils)
The major occurrence is identified at Purakkad, Vaikom, Kaduthuruthy and Thuravur. The area
generally lies at or below MSL and is subject to frequent flooding and water stagnation. These soils have
relatively high proportion of organic residues and severe soil and environmental limitations, which pose
a threat to crop production. The soil is heavy in texture, poorly aerated and ill drained. The texture of the
soil ranges from sandy clay to clay with intermediate texture of silty clay loam and clay loam. Even
though these soils have medium to high general fertility status, high acidity, salinity, presence of toxic
materials and submergence restrict crop selection to paddy.
Red soils
They are localised in occurrence and are found mostly in the southern parts of Thiruvananthapuram
district and in pockets in catenary sequence along the foot slopes of laterite hills and mounds. A variety
of crops such as coconut, arecanut, banana, yams, pineapple, vegetables, fruit trees etc., can be
grown under proper management.
Laterite Soils
These soils mainly occur in the midlands at elevation 20 to 100m above M.S.L. as a strip
between the coastal belt and hilly midupland. All these laterite soils are acidic with low water holding
capacity, soil erosion and reduced effective soil volume. The laterite soil is generally suitable for most
of the dryland crops. It is mainly cultivated with coconut, arecanut, banana, tapioca, vegetables, yams,
pepper, pineapple, fruit trees etc.
Hill Soils
The texture of these soils generally ranges from loam to clay loam with average gravel content
of 10 to 50%. The area is suitable for all dryland crops like rubber, coconut, arecanut and fruit trees
based on the lie of the land. Crops such as banana, pepper, pineapple, vegetables can be grown in foot
slopes.
Black Cotton Soils

These soils are identified in alluvial plains, terraces and undulating plains of Chittur taluk in
Palakkad district in patches. These soils are very deep, black and calcareous. The texture of the soil
ranges from clay loam to clay. The pH of the soil ranges from 6.5 to 8.5. A variety of crops such as
coconut, sugarcane, groundnut, cotton, chilly, pulses and vegetables are grown here.
Forest Soil
The texture of the soil ranges from sandy clay loam to clay with reddish brown to very dark
brown colour. Infertility status is medium to high. Forest trees, shrubs and grasses etc. are grown here.

Vermicompost
Vermi-technology is a process by which all types of biodegradable wastes such as farm wastes,
kitchen wastes, market wastes, bio-wastes of agro-based industries, livestock wastes etc. are converted
to nutrient rich vermicompost by using earthworms as biological agents. Vermicompost contains major
and minor nutrients in plant-available forms, enzymes, vitamins and plant growth hormones. Eudrillus
eugineae has been identified as the best species of earth-worm for vermi-technology under Kerala
conditions.
Vermicomposting of farm wastes: Pits of size 2.5m length, 1m breadth and 0.3m depth are taken
in thatched sheds with sides left open. The bottom and sides of the pit are made hard by compacting with
a wooden mallet. At the bottom of the pit, a layer of coconut husk is spread with the concave side
upward to ensure drainage of excess water and for proper aeration. The husk is moistened and above
this, biowaste mixed with cowdung in the ratio of 8:1 is spread up to a height of 30cm above the ground
level and water is sprinkled daily. After the partial decomposition of wastes for 7 to 10 days, the worms
are introduced @ 500 to 1000 numbers per pit. The pit is covered with coconut fronds. Moisture is
maintained at 40 to 50 %. When the compost is ready, it is removed from the pit along with the worms
and heaped in shade with ample light. The vermicompost produced has an average nutrient status of
1.5%, N, 0.4% P2O5 and 1.8% K2O with pH ranging from 7.0 to 8.0.
142
Coir Pith Composting

Select a shaded place of 5x3m dimension and level it after removing weeds. First spread 100 kg
coirpith uniformly. Spread 300g (one bottle or cover) of Pleurotus spawn on this and cover this with a
second layer of 100 kg coirpith. On the surface of the second layer, spread 1 kg urea uniformly. Repeat
this sandwiching process of one layer of coirpith with spawn followed by another layer of coirpith with
urea up to 1m height. Sprinkle water if necessary to keep the heap moist. Allow the heap to decompose
for one month.
The coirpith is converted into good manure after 30-40 days and the lignin content is reduced from
30% to 40%. Another significant change is the lowering down of C:N ratio from 112:1 to 24:1. This
coirpith compost contains macronutrients as well as micronutrients. It has the unique property of
absorbing and retaining moisture to about 500-600 %. It improves the water infiltration rate and hydraulic
conductivity of soil.
BIO-FERTILIZERS
Some of the commonly used bio-fertilizers are
1. Rhizobium (Bradyrhizobium and Azorhizobium)
It induces better root nodulation and stem nodulation (Azorhizobium) in inoculated plants and
thereby brings down the requirement of nitrogen fertilizer for the cultivation of pulses, oil seeds and
legume green manures. Method of application is seed treatment.
2. Azotobacter
Suitable only for upland crops like vegetables, tapioca, plantation and orchard crops.
3. Azospirillum
It is suitable for both upland and wetland conditions. It induces better root formation in inoculated
plants. Recommended for root induction in polybag-raised seedlings of plantation and orchard crops.
Method of application are seed treatment, seedling root dip and soil application.
4. Blue green algae (BGA)
Mainly recommended for wetland rice cultivation. Not feasible in acidic soils with pH below 6.0.
Applied by direct broadcasting in the rice fields @ 10 kg/ha one week after transplanting the seedlings.
5. Azolla
It is suitable for wetland rice cultivation. The required quantity of azolla will have to be raised in
the farmers field itself. Method of Application : apply @ 10t/ha before transplanting the rice seedlings at
the time of ploughing.
6. Phosphate solubilising bacteria and fungi
Recommended mainly for upland crops raised in neutral and slightly alkaline soils.
143
Enables the efficient utilization of cheaper sources of phosphatic fertilizers such as rock
phosphate by crop plants in neutral and alkaline soils. Method of application : Seed treatment and direct
application.
7. Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhiza (VAM/AM)
Vesicular arbuscular mycorrhiza is mostly recommended for upland especially for raising
container and tissue culture plantlets and transplanted crops. Also induces better resistance against
certain soil borne plant pathogens. It is given as soil application.
APPLICATION TECHNIQUES OF BIOFERTILIZERS
1. Seed treatment
Five hundred grams of commercially available inoculum will be required for treatment of seeds
for one hectare area. For this, thick slurry of the carrier-based inoculum is initially prepared by mixing
500 g of the inoculum in 1.25 litres of water. The strickiness of the biofertilizer on seed surface can be
significantly improved by using 10% jaggery solution or 5% sugar solution supplemented with 40%
boiled and cooled gum arabic solution or rice-gruel water. The required quantity of seed material is then
gently mixed with this slurry without damaging the seed coat. The treated seeds are spread evenly over
a gunny bag and dried in shade and sown immediately in moist soil. Under no circumstances, the
treated seeds are exposed to direct sunlight for longer period of time since the UV rays of solar radiation
will reduce significantly the population of inoculated bacteria on seed surface.
2. Seedling treatment
This method of application is mainly recommended for transplanted crops. In this procedure, the
roots of seedling to be transplanted are dipped in loose water slurry of the biofertilizer (500 g in 2.5 litres
of water) for 20 minutes, prior to transplanting.
3. Soil application
Soil application is generally recommended for all types of biofertilizers axcept Rhizobium,
Bradyrhizobium and Azorhizobium. The method is to apply the biofertilizer after mixing with dried FYM,
compost or vermicompost @ 1:25. For crops of six months duration, the recommended dose is 1-2 kg/
ha. This can be increased to 2-4 kg/ha for crops of more than six months duration. For perennial crops,
10 to 25 g of the biofertilizer is to be applied in the root zone during the first year and 25 to 50 g during
subsequent years. This can be done at the time of sowing, transplanting or during intercultivation.

PREPARATION OF PERMITTED FUNGICIDES FOR ORGANIC FARMING

Bordeaux mixture (1%)
Dissolve 1kg of powdered copper sulphate crystals in 50 litres of water. In another 50 litres of
water, prepare milk of lime with 1 kg of quick lime. Pour the copper sulphate solution into the milk of lime
slowly stirring the mixture all the while. Test the mixture before use for the presence of free copper,
which is harmful to the plants, by dipping a polished knife in it. If the blade shows a reddish colour due
to the deposit of copper, add more lime till the blade is not stained on dipping. Always use wooden,
earthen or copper vessels for the preparation of Bordeaux mixture. Use the fungicide in the same day
of preparation.
In order to confer sticking qualities to Bordeaux mixture, rosin washing soda mixture, may be
added. The addition of the sticker is particularly recommended for sprayings conducted during rainy
season. For preparing the mixture, 10 litres of water out of 100 litres required for preparing Bordeaux
mixture may be kept apart. Boil 10 litres of water, preferably in an earthen pot and add 500 g of good
quality washing soda (sodium carbonate). Boil again until the solution becomes slightly dark in colour.
Add one kg of powdered rosin (arpoos) in the boiling washing soda solution. Reduce the flame for
avoiding frothing, foaming and spilling over. Boil the solution for 5-10 minutes till the black bubbles
appear. Cool the solution until the temperature reaches below 45 degree Celsius. The cooled mixture
(10 litres) is then added slowly to the prepared Bordeaux mixture (90 litres) under vigorous stirring.
Bordeaux paste
Dissolve 100 g of copper sulphate and 100 g of quick lime each in 500 ml of water separately.
Mix together to make one litre of the paste.

VARIETAL RESISTANCE / TOLERANCE
While selecting the varieties for organic farming, emphasis should be given to multiple resistance /
tolerance to major pests of that locality. Use of a variety with some degree of genetic resistance,
combined with other non chemical methods can manage the pests effectively.

CULTURAL CONTROL
Pest incidence can be minimized by adjusting and modifying the cultivation practices. Some of the
cultural practices that can be adopted by the farmers are:
1. Field sanitation by incorporation of stubbles immediately after harvest will help to destroy
over wintering population of insect pests like stem borer and gall midge. Deep ploughing
after harvest is recommended.
2. Optimum seed rate and spacing : High seed rate and closer planting cause thick population
which favours the pests like leaf folder, BPH etc.
3. Timely sowing or planting is important to avoid pest incidence. Altering the dates of
sowing / transplanting preferably not coinciding the favourable climate for pest outbreak.
For example late planting in the first crop season favours the incidence of gall midge.
Hence late planting should be avoided.
4. May of the weeds will serve as altermate and collateral hosts of several pests. Destruction
of weeds in the field and bunds will help in reducing the population build up of the pests.
5. Draining the field for two days will help to reduce case worm incidence. The incidence of
thrips can be reduced by flooding the field for 24 hours.
170
MECHANICAL CONTROL
For controlling case worm, pull kerosinised rope across plants to dislodge cases hanging on the
plants into water and then drain off the water.
Removal of egg masses of stem borer from the plant will help to reduce the pest population.
Light traps:
Installation of light traps in the field would attract and kill the moths of leaf folder, stem borer, BPH, gall
fly and rice bug.
Pheromone traps:
Pheromones have been found effective for the management of yellow stem borer and can be utilized
for monitoring as well as for direct control through male annihilation either by mass trapping or by
disrupting mating communication.
For monitoring stem borer population, three traps should be installed at an inter trap distance of 60 m
in a triangular pattern in one acre field. Male moth catch is recorded at three days interval. Sudden
increase in the average catch of the trap coincides with the emergence of adults. Weekly catch of 30
males per trap can be taken as the capture threshold which precedes borer damage.
Mass trapping of stem borer by installing pheromone traps @ 20 numbers / ha can effectively reduce
the stem borer damage. The pheromone trap is retained throughout the crop stage by replacing 3-4
times the 5 mg lure at 20 day intervals. Pheromone traps can be installed in the nursery also.
BIOLOGICAL CONTROL
Organic farming favours conservation of natural enemies in the rice field, which in turn help to keep
the pest population low. The common natural enemies found in the rice ecosystems are:
Dragon flies and Damsel flies, Spiders, Predatory bugs, Predatory beetles, Predatory grasshoppers,
Egg parasitoids, Larval parasitoids etc.
Inundative release of Parasitoids
The egg parasitoid Trichogramma is a widely used biocontrol agent in rice through out the country for
the control of stem borer and leaf folder. Trichogramma japonicum is effective against stem borer and
Trichogramma chilonis is effective against leaf folder. 5 cc egg cards is sufficient for installation in one
hectare. Six releases of these parasitoids at weekly intervals is required for a crop season. For the
control of stem borer, the egg cards have to be installed in the field starting from the first week after
transplanting and for leaf folder, the installation has to be started from 20 days after transplanting or
when the moths of these pests are observed in large numbers in the field.
Botanical pesticides
Utilisation of botanical formulations especially neem formulations is an ecofriendly method of pest
control in rice. Neem formulations act as feeding deterrents, growth retardants, oviposition deterrents
and reproductive inhibitors. Application of 2% neem oil or 10% neem cake extract can control rice
thrips.
Pocket application of biopesticides may be adopted in heavily infested areas to control further spread
of the pests and to conserve the existing natural enemy population. Careful monitoring of the field is
very important to adopt proper pest management practices in a timely manner.

Provide field sanitation to prevent breeding of beetles

Hook out the beetles from the attacked palms by using beetle hook.
The topmost three leaf axils around the spindle may be filled with 250g
neem cake or marotti cake mixed with equal volume of sand in the
innermost 2-3 leaf axis. This treatment is to be done twice, i.e., during
April-May before the onset of South-West monsoon and during SeptemberOctober after the South-West monsoon.
Incorporation of Clerodendron infortunatum @10% w/w basis in the
cowdung pit/manure pit.
Dust manure pit walls with lime powder and plaster with cow dung.
Boil castor cake and groundnut cake with a little quantity of water. Keep
in earthern pots near light source to attract beetles, which can be collected
and killed.
Mix sand (250 g) and neem seed powder (100 g) and fill inner leaf
sheaths of youngest leaves.
Release Baculovirus oryctes infected adults @ 10-15/ha to bring down
the pest population.
Inoculation of breeding sites with entomopathogenic fungus Metarrhizium
anisopliae (@ 5x1011 spores/ml) gives effective control.
Field sanitation should be given prime importance.
Avoid making steps or any other injury on the tree trunks to reduce the
loci of infestation
Leaf axil filling as suggested in the case of rhinoceros beetle will be useful
against the red palm weevil also.
When green leaves are cut from the palms, stumps of not less than 120
cm may be left on the trees in order to prevent successful inward
movement of the grubs through the cut end.
Clean the crown periodically before and after rain.
Mix sand and nerium seed powder and fill the bore holes.
Coconut log traps with fermenting toddy or pineapple or sugarcane activated
with yeast or molasses can be set in coconut plantation to attract and trap
the free floating population of red palm weevil.
Use of pheromone trap for attracting and killing adult weevils @ one trap
per 2 ha.
As a prophylactic measure, the first affected leaves may be cut and burnt
during the beginning of the summer season.
Arrange for the release of larval/pupal parasitoids, Goniozus nephantidis,
Elasmus nephantidis (brown species) and Brachymeria nosatoi.
Mix extract of 2kg neem seed kernal and 200g soap in 200 litres of water
and spray followed by release of larval/pupal parasites.

Collection and destruction of adults during the monsoon period from

adjacent vegetation (in the evening)
Plough or dig the infested soil synchronizing with pre-monsoon showers.
Apply sugar solution in coconut basin near root zone.
Leaf loppings of Anacardium occidentale, Tamarindus indica and Tectona
grandis and drenching with cashewnut shell liquid (CSNL) solution (2%
v/v) is effective against root grub.
Note : Wherever possible, light traps may be set up to attract and trap
adult beetles.
Collect and destroy all the fallen buttons of the affected palm.
Apply 2% neem oil+garlic emulsion or commercial neem formulation
azadirachtin 0.004% (Neemazal T/S 1% @ 4 ml per litre of water) or
micronized wettable sulphur 0.4% in the crown on young bunches.

dose of fertilizers in two split applications.
Growing compatible intercrops/mixed crops.
Providing adequate irrigation.
Remove and destroy all dried up inflorescence and unproductive buttons.
Neem garlic emulsion 2% applied on infested bunches checks button
mealy bugs.
Boil 10kg wheat and two large pieces of glyricidia bark and broadcast in
field as bait.
Mix gypsum and sugar and keep in places as bait where rats are
frequent.
Take one part nerium seed powder + nine parts rice + one part coconut
pulp + a little oil. Mix well and use as a bait.
Mix shrimp powder and cement (dry) and keep as bait. Pre baiting with
shrimp powder alone will be more effective.
Use tin barrier around tree trunk to prevent rat damage.
DISEASE MANAGEMENT
RICE

Aruna, Makom, Remya, Kanakom, Gouri, Lakshmi, Bhagya, Onam, Dhanya and Sagara.
Cultural practices
Deep summer ploughing of the fields
Use properly dried, disease free seeds.
173
Follow optimum time for sowing / plaing

Apply rice hull ash @ 100 g/m2 which will help to reduce the incidence of blast in the
nursery.
Destroy / remove disease harbouring weeds from the field.
Give optimum spacing
Follow proper water management. Water logging favours diseases like sheath blight.
Draining the field for one or two days will help to reduce the spread of the disease.
Avoid clipping of leaf tips at the time of transplanting in bacterial blight endemic areas.
Note : Incorporation of green manures like Pterocarpus marsupium, Eupatorium odoratum and
Mangifera indica (Mango) @ 5 t/ ha or application of leaves of plants such as Lawsonia inermis,
Calotropis, Azadiracta indica, Datura Stramonium and Glyricidia @ 2.5 t / ha will also reduce
incidence of sheath blight.
Bio-control agents
Application of Pseudomonas fluorescens P1 in different ways viz., seed treatment, seedling root dip,
soil application or foliar spray will effectively control fungal diseases and bacterial diseases.
Seed treatment :Treat the seeds with talc based formulation @ 10 g per kg of seed. It wet sowing
in practiced, treated seeds are soaked in water for 12 hours. Drain the excess water and keep for
sprouting.
Seedling root dip :Dip the roots of the seedlings before transplanting in solution of P. fluorescens
(20g/ litre) for 30 minutes. Seedling root dip can be easily done in the field itself. Water is to be
impounded in the field by taking pits or making bunds and mix the talc based formulation in water. The
pulled out seedlings are to be kept in such a way so as to immerse the roots in P. fluorescens mixed
water. After half an hour seedlings are planted in the main field. For dipping the seedlings for one ha,
2.5 kg talc based formulation is required.
Soil Application : Apply talc based formulation of P. fluorescens @ 2.5 kg per ha one week after
transplanting or 30 40 days after sowing for the direct sown crop. Mix 2.5 kg of P. fluorescens with
50 kg dried cow dung or sand and broadcast in the field. Dewater the field before the application of the
culture.
Foliar spray: P. fluorescens can be sprayed on the foliage @ 20 g/ litre of water. Spraying can be
repeated depending on the disease severity. The application of P. fluorescens for a minimum of three
times like seed treatment, seedling root dip and one foliar spray will be very effective in providing
protection of rice crop from disease incidence.
PGPR mix II : root dip and foliar application of PGPR mix II give effective protection against fungal and
bacterial diseases.
Foliar spray of cow dung slurry is also effective for the management of bacterial blight of rice. Fresh
cow dung @ 20 g/ litre is mixed in water and the supernatant is used for spraying. The bacteriophages
present in the cow dung act against the pathogenic bacteria present on the plant. 500 litres of cow dung
liquid is need for one hectare.
174
COCONUT
Bud rot
In early stages of the disease (when the heart leaf starts withering) cut
and remove all affected tissues of the crown. Apply Bordeaux paste and
protect it from rain till normal shoot emerges.
Burn all disease-affected tissues removed from the palm.
Spray 1% Bordeaux mixture on spindle leaves and crown of disease
affected as well as neighbouring palms, as a prophylactic measure.
Adopt control measures for rhinoceros beetle.
Provide adequate drainage in gardens.
Adopt proper spacing and avoid over crowding in bud rot prone gardens.
Mahali
Root (wilt) disease
Spray 1% Bordeaux mixture on the crown of palms, once before the

monsoon and once or twice later on at intervals of 40 days.
Rogue out palms that are affected severely by root (wilt) and yield less
than 10 nuts/palm/year and those, which have contracted the disease
before flowering. Replant with disease tolerant material/high yielding
hybrids (Chandrasankara)
Growing green manure crops like sunhemp, sesbania, cowpea and
calapagonium in the coconut basin and their incorporation in situ is
beneficial as the practice reduces the intensity of the root (wilt) and
increases the nut yield. The ideal green manure crops for the sandy and
alluvial soils are cowpea and sesbania, respectively.
Apply manures in 10 cm deep circular basins at a radius of 2 m from the
base of the palm.
When the crop is grown under the bund and channel system, desilt the
channel and strengthen the bunds during summer months.
Ensure proper drainage in the field during rainy season.
Follow strictly all the prescribed prophylactic measures against leaf rot
disease, red palm weevil, rhinoceros beetle etc. so as to ensure that the
palms are not debilitated. To maintain the productivity of the palms,
prophylactic measures are of great importance. Apply Trichoderma +
Pseudomonas fluorescence so as to enhance the soil health.
175
Package for severely affected areas
Apply FYM 25kg +
coirpith compost 25 kg + wood ash 5kg + kayal silt ( if available) per

coconut basin. Sow 35 g of cowpea seeds per basin of 1m width and
incorporate the biomas in the soil. Bury coconut husks of 25 coconuts in
the basins and apply water.
Leaf rot
Remove the rotten portions from the spear and the two adjacent leaves.
Spray crowns and leaves with 1% Bordeaux mixture in January, AprilMay and September. While spraying care has to be taken to spray the
spindle leaf.
Application of Pseudomonas fluorescence 2% suspension in the leaf at

the initial stage of infection.
Stem bleeding
Chisel out completely the affected tissues and paint the wound with
Bordeaux paste.
Destroy the chiseled materials by burning. Avoid any mechanical injury

to trunk.
Grey blight
Apply neem cake @ 5 kg per palm in the basin along with other organics.
Apply Trichoderma @ 50g/ palm along with FYM.
Remove severely affected older leaves and burn. Spray the trees with
1% Bordeaux mixture.
Tanjore wilt
Apply organic manure @ 50 kg/palm.
Apply neem cake @ 5 kg/palm/year.
Drench the basin with 40 litres of 1% Bordeaux mixture to soak soil upto
15 cm depth at quarterly intervals.
Avoid flood irrigation in order to prevent the possible spread of the pathogen
through soil.
Isolate the affected palm from the healthy ones by digging a trench of size
1 m deep and 50 cm wide, 1.5 m away from the bole of the infected palm.
Avoid growing legumiuous crops in and around the garden.

ORGANIC CERTIFICATION
Organic certification means having the farm and the farmer's methods inspected by an organic
certifying group to ensure that they comply with the guidelines on organic farming. Organic certification
improves the image of organic agriculture and provides transparency in certification. For gaining
consumer's confidence, valid organic cerification is an essential pre-requisite for marketing especially
in the export market. Generally organic certification involves many standards, inspection and certification.
Certification is a procedure by which a third party gives a written assurance that a product,
causes or service is in conformity with certain standards. Organic standards are defined as minimum
production practices including storage, transportation, processing, handling, packing and labelling
requirements which must be followed for certifying the products as organic.
It is to be recognized that animals are a part of organic farming system since thy contribute to
nutrient cycles, soil fertility and higher yields. Draught purpose is achieved and the bye products are
utilized well. Forage crops improve crop rotation and allow for diversification in farming. There are many
organic standards on national as well as international levels. Generally standards vary with the country
and to sell the products in a particular country, the standards of the importing country are to be followed.
Certification is the key to the national organic program. In US since 21st October 2002 it is a federal
offence to label any food product as organic unless it has been certified. Certification process focuses
on the methods and materials used in production. There are two main requirements:
1. The methods and materials used in production must meet organic standards.
2. There must be clear and ongoing documentation of these methods and materials.
The concept of organic certification is that a third party - an organic certifying agent evaluates
producers, processors and handlers to determine whether confirm to an established set of operating
guideline called organic standards. Those which confirm are certified by the agent and allowed to use
a logo, product statement or certificate to document their product as cerified organic. In other words, the
certifier vouches for the producer and assures buyers of the organic product's integrity.
CERTIFICATION IN INDIA
The Ministry of Commerce launched NPOP (National Programme for Organic Production) in
March 2000, designed to establish national standards for organic products, which could then be sold
under the logo "India organic". For the proper implementation of NPOP, NAPP (National Accreditation
Policy and Programme) has been formulated with Accreditation Regulations announced in May 2001.
These make it mandatory that all certification bodies whether international or foreign operating in the
country must be accredited by an Accreditation Agency. There are six accreditation agencies in India:177
1. Agricultural Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA)

2. Coffee Board
3. Spices Board
4. Coconut Development Board
5. Tea Board
6. Directorate of Cashew and Cocoa Development
APEDA has recognized the following Inspection Certification bodies, all of these are able to
certify based on the NPOP:
1. BVQ1 (India) Pvt. Ltd (Mumbai)
2. E cocert (Aurangabad)
3. IMO control private limited (Bangalore)
4. Indian organic certification agency (Indocert, Aluva)
5. International Resources for farmer trade members
6. Lacon quality certification Pvt. Ltd (Theepany, Kerala)
7. National organic certification Association Pvt. Ltd (Pune)
8. One Cert Asia Agri Certification Pvt. Ltd (Jaipur)
9. SGS India Pvt. Ltd (Gurgaon)
10. Skal International (Bangalore)
11. Uttaranchal State Organic Certification Agency (Uttaranchal).
Many of the Indian farmers are small scale, poor farmers who may not be able to afford the cost
of certification. Private certification bodies are creating International control systems and participatory
guarantee system as alternative means of certification to reduce the cost of certification.

BREEDING POLICY OF KERALA

The demand for milk and milk products in Kerala is on the rise and hence it is necessary that
an appropriate policy to augment the productivity of the animals be framed. The productivity increase
will ensure better returns to the farmer. Also this will keep the number of animals to be supported to
meet the demand in control. This in turn will ensure better utilization of the scarce resources of the
state.
It is envisaged to achieve the increased production by designing genetically superior animals
and is possible by
1. Upgrading genetic potential of the animal including cattle, buffalo and goats.
2. Increasing the proportion of high yielding crossbreds in the population
3. Enhancing the reproductive efficiency of the female population.
Genetic Improvement
Jersey, Holstein Friesian are the two major breeds used for crossbreeding in the state.
Jersey though not the highest producer is a breed well adapted to our climatic and economic
conditions. However high yielding Holstein Friesian is used for cross breeding in areas where
roughage and other resources are in plenty. Hence Jersey and Holstein Friesian breeds are accepted
as exotic donor breeds for the state. It is established beyond doubt that 50% exotic breed is the most
appropriate proportion and hence decided to limit it to 50% and not beyond.
The systematic genetic selection programme for the proper implementation of the Breeding
policy is being done with the assistance of the Govt of India. The average milk yield increase is
recorded as 56.6 Kg. in the first standard lactation. It is also recommended to bring in bulls from other
parts of the country for cross breeding and the process is going on. Elimination of genetically poor
female population has to be done but not attempted so far due to economic constraints.
182
The breeding activity in the state being done by two major agencies. The Animal Husbandry
Department is the implementing agency and Kerala Livestock Development Board is the supplier of
the required genetic inputs and logistics.
LIVESTOCK & POULTRY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMES
Animal Husbandry sector plays an important role in the strengthening the economy of the
state, especially rural economy. Besides, AH sector is providing employment opportunities to
unemployed and underemployed rural poor.
Cattle Development Schemes

II. BUFFALOES
General principles of feeding buffaloes are almost similar to those recommended for dairy cattle.
Buffaloes have the capacity to consume more roughage which they can digest better than dairy cattle.
The fat percentage of buffalo milk is higher and hence buffaloes must be given more feed per unit of milk
production. Milking animals must be given production allowance of one kg concentrate mixture (0.14 to
0.16 kg DCP and 0.7 kg TDN) for every 2 kg of milk producued over and above the maintenance
allowances.

IV. DOGS
Pups are weaned from the dam at 6-8 weeks of age. After weaning, a combination of cows milk
(250 ml), egg yolk (one) and glucose (half teaspoon) fed at regular intervals would be a good substitute
for the dams milk. Goats milk is good for pups.
For two to three days after weaning, the pups will be crying, may be because of the separation
from its dam. This crying should not be misunderstood for hunger and fed with milk and biscuits as often
done resulting in indigestion.

V. CATS
Cats are carnivorous in nature. Feed should be rich in protein of animal or fish origin. Either raw
or cooked meat can be fed. Sometimes there may be digestive trouble. Also provide vegetables, green
grass etc. to avoid digestive trouble. Green grass helps to expel fur balls from the stomach. Grass will
be having vitamins and minerals especially trace minerals and so grass feeding is advantageous. Cat
should be given plenty of drinking water.

5.Cattle feed Subsidy scheme

Considering the sharp rise in the price of cattle feeding and other inputs, it is proposed to
provide subsidy as Milk production incentive @ Rs.1/- per litre of milk poured by him at the Dairy
Cooperative Society. Steps will be initiated to provide the subsidy through the Bank account of the
farmer. All the milk producers in the state covered by Dairy Co-operative Societies are benefited
through the scheme for sustainable milk production.
6. Assistance to Dairy Co-operative Societies
Dairy Co-operative Societies of our state act as the back bone of dairy development sector,
which help dairy farmers to market their produce and act as village information Centres. More than
70 % of our dairy farmers are outside the umbrella of Dairy Co-operative Societies. In order to bring
these 70 % dairy farmers under the umbrella of Dairy Co-operative Societies, it is inevitable to
strengthen the Dairy Co-operative Societies of our state. Major objectives of the scheme are to
improve the facilities for testing the chemical and microbial quality of milk to ensure that the consumers
get good quality product and the producers get better price for what they produce, to improve the
procurement and marketing facilities by strengthening the existing Dairy Co-operatives and to modernize
the infrastructure of Dairy Co-operative Societies for better dissemination of information to farmers by
using ICT tools and techniques. Following are the major items included in the scheme:
It is proposed to register new primary dairy cooperatives (DCS) and revive defunct DCS
so that the potential of milk production can be fully tapped. Assistance will be provided to DCS also
for automation of Milk procurement.
Construction or modification/renovation of hygienic milk collection rooms, milk processing/
chilling/packing /cattle feed units, setting up of Quality Labs and other needs. This will ensure
hygienic handling of milk to comply with the provisions of FSSA 2006. 80% of the milk procured by
DCS will be ensured quality testing by providing Automatic Milk Collection units and Milk Analysers.
Dr. Varghese Kurian memorial Award will be presented to the best Dairy cooperatives in
the State.
The department also proposes to establish a sound and effective Management Information
System linking dairy co-operatives and department offices in the districts, aimed at establishing a
common communication Interface to enable information exchange between DCS, department offices
and allied agencies and to build a concrete platform for data analysis and decision support to help the
entities in the system in improving their performance.
7. Strengthening of Quality Control Units
One of the major activities of the Dairy Development department is ensuring quality of milk and
milk products produced and marketed in the State. The Department has a quality control officer in all
districts to monitor the quality of milk marketed in the districts, and to provide extension support for
clean and hygienic milk production by dairy farmers. The department has quality control labs one in
each district headed by a Quality Control Officer. The above programme is meant to strengthen the
Quality Control activities of the department .
To strengthen the quality control activities of the department a new Regional Dairy Lab will be
established during the year so that the quality of milk and milk products produced and marketed in the
state is tested for the safety of public health.
During festival seasons, especially during Onam, the demand for milk in the state increases
and lot of milk reaches from neighboring states. Unscrupulous traders take this as an opportunity to
make huge profit by supplying low quality and adulterated milk. This is a major threat to public health
as many of the chemicals added to milk as adulterants or preservatives are hazardous. In order to
prevent such practices special quality testing drives are conducted through out the state during Onam
season. Milk Quality Information Centers are set up in all districts head quarters where the quality of
200
all brands of milk marketed is tested. Facilities are also provided for daily testing samples of milk
brought by public and providing results then and there.
To prevent the entry of adulterated and low quality milk into the state special camps with
laboratory facilities are set up at the five major check post (Walayar, Meenakshipuram, Kumuli,
Arayankavu, and Parasala) of the state through which majority of the milk flows into the state.
