Main Observations :

➢ Average productivity in model farms has increased substantially, thanks to SEA intervention in last 4 years. ➢ Over the last 4 years, it is seen that initiation of Model Farm project in any district has had the rippling effect

• f even non-project farmers subsequently adopting the

best practices of the project thereby enhancing their productivity.

Reason for increase in productivity :

➢ Overall productivity increased, thanks to a) Good Agronomics Practices b) Quality Seeds c) Spacing between two plants (6’X6’ or 7’X7’) d) Increase in Nos. of picks e) Increase in number of branches & pods f) Continuous guidance and supervision by SEA experts, Co-ordinators.
