Title of the project	All India Coordinated Research Project on Cashew
About the project	All India Co-ordinated Research Project (AICRP) on Cashew was established in Odisha during 5^thFive Year Plan period (1975) with head quarter at Bhubaneswar under Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology (OUAT), Bhubaneswar which was the starting point of cashew research in Odisha. The mandates of the project are : Collection, conservation and maintenance of germplasms Evolving high yielding varieties with export grade kernels and tolerant/ resistant to pest and diseases. Standardization of agro-techniques for crop under different agro-climatic conditions. Evolving cost effective and efficient pest and disease management practices The project has contributed immensely towards the development of cashew cultivation in the state. The project is mainly doing research on crop improvement, crop management and crop protection in cashew. The research station has released three numbers of cashew varieties (1 selection and 2 hybrids) viz. Bhubaneswar-1, Jagannatha (BH-6) and Balabhadra (BH-85). Bhubaneswar-1 a selection from WBDC-5(V-36/3) was released during the year 1989. Two cashew hybrids viz. Jagannatha (Bhubaneswar cluster-2 x VTH-711/4) and Balabhadra (Bhubaneswar-1 x BPP-8) were released by State Variety Release Committee during the year 2008 and recommended for cultivation in the state of Odisha. Breeding programme is continuing and efforts are on for release of varieties in near future. Besides this, the project has developed a number of agro-techniques in cashew. Scheduling fertilizer application in cashew (500:250:250 g NPK plant^-1). High density planting (5m x 4m) and fertilizer management (150: 50:50 NPK kg ha^-1) gives 106% more yield than normal density (200 plants ha^-1) up to 7^th harvest. Intercropping with colocasia is reported to give highest return per unit area. Application of organic treatments, 25% N as FYM + Recycling of organic residue + In situ green manuring/green leaf manuring +Bio-Fertilizer Consortium(200gm) is proved to be better than inorganic source of nutrients. Now the research on standardization of agro-techniques for Ultra High Density Planting in cashew is going on. Tea Mosquito Bug(TMB) and Cashew Stem and Root Borer(CSRB) are the two major pest of cashew in Odisha. Application of Lambda-cyhalothrin (0.003%) followed by Profenophous 50EC @0.05% or vice versa at flushing and flowering stages is recommended for the management of Tea Mosquito Bug and other foliage and flowering insect pest of cashew in the state. For control of Cashew Stem and Root Borer, phyto-sanitation followed by application of Chlorpyriphos 20 EC @ 0.2% as swabbing/spot drenching after removal/destroy of grubs and other pest stages was found most effective in minimizing the re-infestation and also proved economical.

Activities
Achievements (2019-20)	Crop Improvement Till date 114 accessions have been collected and conserved in the Regional Cashew Gene Bank at Cashew Research Station, Bhubaneswar Among the fifteen tested cashew genotypes, hybrid BH-26 recorded maximum mean annual nut yield(3.9 kg plant^-1) as well as cum. nut yield (5.95kg plant^-1) at 4^th harvest. Seedlings have been raised of the harvested nuts of “Rapid Polyclonal hybrid evaluation trial” which will be planted in the main field (at 4m x 4m spacing) for further evaluation. The new experiment “Evaluation of promising bold nut, bigger size apple and high yielding cashew genotypes” has been laid out during 2019 following Randomized block Design (RBD) with seventeen treatments and two replications. Crop Management Application of recommended doses of fertilizer(500:250:250g NPK/plant)+ 10 kg FYM recorded maximum average nut yield(1858.44 kg/ha) as well as benefit cost ratio ( 3.44) among the eight different treatment combinations in organic management experiment. Among the organic treatments, 25% N as FYM + Recycling of organic residue + in situ green manuring/green leaf manuring +Bio-Fertilizer Consortium(200gm) was most promising with respect to vegetative characters , yield attributes and nut yield of cashew. Application of 100% RDF+10 Kg FYM along with foliar spray of major nutrients (3% Urea + 0.5% H₃PO₄+ 1% K₂SO₄) and secondary and micro-nutrients (0.5% ZnSO₄+0.1% Boron+0.5% MgSO₄) was found to superior with respect to vegetative characters, yield attributing traits and nut yield of cashew. 3. Crop Protection L-Cyhalothrin, Profenophos, Carbosulfan (2ml/l) and Beauveria bassiana (5g/l) were found to be most effective against lepidopteran pests like Shoot tip catetpillar, Leaf miner and Apple and nut borer while L- Cyhalothrin,Profenophos and Thiamethoxam (0.2g/l) were found most effective against the inflorescence thrips. Among the Post Extraction Prophyaxis (PEP) treatments, swabbing with chlorpyriphos (10ml/l) and Fipronil (2ml/l) were highly effective with respect to recovery of CSRB infested plants. Both maximum and minimum temperature had significant positive correlation with Shoot Tip Caterpillar(STC) while maximum temperature and relative humidity (even) rainfall and sunshine hour were positively correlated with the leaf minor incidence. Germplasm accession OC31, OC37 and OC55 recorded minimum incidence of leaf minor, STC, inflorescence thrips and leaf and blossom webber thus indicating having multiple resistance against some foliar and flowering pests of cashew.

Achievements (2019-20)	A. Research achievements: Three important concluded research findings during the year 2019-20 which has been recommended. In an experiment conducted at AICRP on Cotton, RRTTS, Bhawanipatna to evaluate different methods of application of nitrogen for increasing nitrogen use efficiency and seed cotton yield of hybrid cotton, it was observed that the plants with 100 % of recommended dose of nitrogen (120 kg/ha) in band application in 2 splits at basal and flowering stage, recorded maximum number of sympodial branches/plant (15.27), bolls/ square metre (58.8), boll weight (4.93 g) and seed cotton yield (2101 kg/ha) with maximum N use efficiency (10.91 kg/kg of N) and B:C ratio of 2.51. There was 60.5 % increase in seed cotton yield over no use of nitrogen. An experiment conducted at Bhawanipatna to standardize labour saving techniques in cotton cultivation revealed that the combination of interventions like land shaping by power tiller, application of pre-emergence herbicide (Pendimethalin @ 1.0 kg/ha) and post- emergence (Glyphosate @1.0 kg/ha), interculture operations and earthing up by bullock drawn plough and use of power sprayer recorded minimum number of monopodial branches (1.95), maximum number of sympodial branches (15.82), boll weight (4.7 g) and seed cotton yield (2897 kg/ha). The number of labour engaged/ha in this treatment was minimum (126.3/ha), which was 34.8 % less than the conventional practice with maximum B:C ratio (3.42). Mechanization in cotton cultivation reduced the cost of cultivation, labour requirement and thereby increased the net return per hectare. In an experiment to find out a suitable, cost effective and eco-friendly IPM module for high density planting system (HDPS) in cotton, it was observed that the IPM module comprising of seed treatment with imidacloprid 70 WS @ 7g/kg of seeds, intercropping with cowpea @ 1 rows after every 10 rows of cotton, growing maize as border crop and okra as trap crop, spraying of neem pesticide (1500 ppm) @ 3 ml/ lit at 40 DAS, installation of pheromone traps both for Spodoptera and bollworms at 45 DAS @ 5 numbers/ha, Spraying of Flonicamid 50 WG @ 0.4g /lit at 50 DAS, release of Trichogramma chilonis @ 1.0 lacs/ ha in 3 times at 60, 70 & 80 DAS, spraying of Bt @1.0 kg/ha at 70 DAS alternative with need based spray with Flubendiamide 480 SC @ 0.25g/lit at 90 DAS recorded the minimum population of major sucking pests (thrips, aphids, jassids and whitefly), Bollworms (H. armigera and E. vittella) and leaf feeders (Spodoptera, leaf roller & semilooper) and maximum seed cotton yield (24.60 q/ha) as compared to farmers practice (19.50 q/ha). The net profit in this module was Rs. 77,495/- per hectare was 85.6% more than that in the farmers practices. B.

Activities	The following two experiments were conducted on the approval of ICAR-IIFSR, Modipuram, Meerut during 2019-20. Cropping system:Identification of cropping systems module for different farming systems Farming system: Sustainable resource management for climate smart IFS
Achievements (2019-20)	Cropping system: · Among the 10 rice-based cropping systems evaluated rice (scented)–potato–okra and rice (scented)–sweet corn–bitter gourd were the most productive (20.32 and 17.18 t REY/ha) with system productivity of 55.7 and 47.1 kg REY/ha/day, respectively, under irrigated condition in coastal Odisha. · These two systems i.e. rice (scented)–potato–okra and rice (scented)–sweet corn–bitter gourd systems outyielded the two existing systems of rice–groundnut–okra by 24 and 5%, and rice–greengram–sesame by 115 and 82%, respectively. · Rice(scented)–sweet corn–bitter gourd was the most remunerative cropping system (net return Rs. 1,40,570/ha, BCR 2.04) which increased the net return by 37 and 207% over the existing systems of rice–groundnut–okra and rice–greengram–sesame, respectively. Farming system: The IFS model of 1.25 ha area under irrigated ecosystem at Bhubaneswar with cropping system, horticultural system, dairy, poultry, fishery and kitchen garden modules produced 25.2 t rice equivalent yield and generated gross return of Rs. 3,64,372 and net return of Rs. 1,29,071 with benefit-cost ratio of 1.55. Though the dairy unit contributed a major share to returns, its cost of production was very high and as such it was not much remunerative as compared to other components with respect to investment made. The most remunerative modules were horticulture and kitchen garden. Poultry and kitchen garden modules gave quick returns.

Agronomy NMT- Early Application of 100% RDF recorded higher nutrient response (5.30 kg grain/kg of nutrient applied) and significantly higher grain yield (3.83t/ha) as compared to 50% RDF. There was no significant difference on grain yield among the tested genotypes. But performance of IET-26477 (3.72t/ha) was promising over Khandagiri (LC) (3.44t/ha) . NMT- Mid Early Application of 100% RDF recorded higher nutrient response (8.05 kg grain/kg of nutrient applied) and significantly higher grain yield (4.60t/ha) as compared to 50% RDF. Grain yield difference among the tested varieties was found to be significant. Higher yield was recorded in IET 25745 (4.70 t/ha) and performance as compared to other tested varieties and also over the Mandakini (LC) (4.05t/ha). NMT- Medium Application of 150% RDF recorded higher nutrient response (7.54 kg grain/kg of nutrient applied) and significantly higher grain yield (4.95t/ha) as compared to 100% RDF. Grain yield difference among the tested varieties were found to be significant. Higher yield was recorded in IET 26420 (6.16 t/ha) and performance as compared to other tested varieties and also over the Pratikshya (LC) (5.58t/ha). NMT- Late Application of 150% RDF recorded higher nutrient response (8.25 kg grain/kg of nutrient applied) and significantly higher grain yield (6.46t/ha) as compared to 100% RDF. Grain yield difference among the tested varieties were found to be significant. Higher yield was recorded in IET 26927 (6.72t/ha) and performance as compared to other tested varieties and also over the Subarna (LC) (5.66t/ha). Development of package of practices for mechanized transplanting Mechanical transplanting of 15 days seedlings at normal sowing time resulted significantly higher grain yield (4.41t/ha) as compared to other crop establishment methods. Among the two varieties, Arize gold was significantly higher grain yield (4 t/ha) as compared to MTU-1156. Development of package of practices for Wet DSR Normal sowing of crop resulted in significant higher grain yield (4.34t/ha) as compared to 30 days late sown. Among crop establishment, normal transplanting resulted in significantly higher grain yield (4.78t/ha) as compared to other establishment method. Evaluation of iron coated seed for Direct seeded rice 1^st date of sowing (29.06.2019) significantly gave higher grain yield (6.21t/ha) compared to those of other delayed date of sowing. Iron coating did not result in higher grain yield over without iron coating. Long term trial of weed dynamics Mechanized transplanting recorded significantly higher grain yield (4.24t/ha) as compared to puddle and unpuddled direct seeding. Among the weed control treatments, weed free condition recorded the significantly higher grain yield than all other treatments. But on the account of economical feasibility, chemical control is best (4.48t/ha) over weed free condition through hand weeding.

Achievements (2019-20)	Research: 1. Research result of screening 110 local aromatic rice genotypes for anaerobic germination capacity under 10 cm standing water in plastic containers with one cm soil indicated that germination of more than 60% was observed only in nine genotypes viz., Bishnubhog, Deulabhog, Dhobaluchi, Kalikati Kusumbhog, Karpurabas, Kalamani, Kalia, Parbatjeera. Coleoptile elongation was observed in 18 genotypes inside the water filled test tubes. Out of the seven genotypes screened on the basis of germination and coleoptile elongation under oxygen stress condition, four genotypes (Parbatjeera, Dhobaluchi, Kalikati and Deulabhog) were found to have more than 70 % germination when sown in pots with 10 cm standing water. The seedlings emerged out of water surface (10cm deep) on 10^th day after sowing. Transferable Technology: The aromatic cultivars Parbatjeera, Kalikati, Dhobaluchi and Deulabhog are found to have better germination capacity under submerged condition upto 10cm depth of water and can be taken up for direct sowing in low land conditions. 2. Comparison of mechanical transplanting and direct seeding of rice (DSR) by seed drill with conventional transplanting and site specific nutrient management practices using soil test based fertilizer recommendation (STBFR) and Rice Crop Manager (RCM), a decision support tool with recommended dose of fertilizer revealed that direct seeding of rice (DSR) by tractor drawn seed drill produced rice grain yield (3818 kg/ha) which was at par with Mechanical transplanting of paddy by self propelled transplanter (4117 kg/ha). The net return and return/rupee invested was maximum in DSR (Rs.34,340/ha and 2.2) than mechanical transplanting (Rs.30,800/ha and 1.8). The net return in DSR and mechanical transplanting was found to be 40 and 27% more as compared to conventional transplanting (Rs.26000/ha), respectively. The seed yield of second crop pea, grown as paira crop was also found to be better in DSR plot. Application fertilizer dose using Rice Crop manager (RCM), a decision support tool for site specific nutrient management (RCM 95:30:35:25 kg N, P₂O_5, K₂O, ZnSO₄/ha) produced enhanced rice grain yield (4480kg/ha) which was at par with soil test based fertilizer application (STBFR - 100:30:40:25 kg N, P₂O_5, K₂O, ZnSO₄/ha) having grain yield of 4290kg/ha. The grain yield obtained with application of fertilizer dose using RCM tool and STBFR was 46 and 40% higher than recommended dose of 80:40:40 kg N, P₂O_5, K₂O/ha (3052kg/ha). The net return in RCM (Rs.39,560/ha) was at par with STBFR (Rs.38,280/ha). The seed yield of paira crop pea was found to be higher in DSR+ STBFR than all other methods. Transferable Technology: Mechanical transplanting of paddy by self propelled transplanter or direct seeding of rice(DSR) by tractor drawn seed drill with application of fertilizer using RCM (RCM 95:30:35:25 kg N, P₂O_5, K₂O, ZnSO₄/ha), a decision support tool, is suggested for growing rice in Odisha. For rice- based paira cropping system, direct sowing of rice by seed drill (DSR) fertilized with soil test based fertilizer recommendation (STBFR-100:30:40:25 kg N, P₂O_5, K₂O, ZnSO₄/ha) followed by paira pea, is recommended. 3.
