OFT and FLD
The Agronomy Department at Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK), Pal (Jalgaon-I) focuses on improving crop productivity and soil health through On-Farm Testing (OFT) and Front Line Demonstrations (FLD). It evaluates nutrient management practices in soybean, promotes improved varieties like Phule Chetak (green gram) and Phule Vishwraj (bengal gram), and demonstrates Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) and natural farming techniques in crops like soybean, bengal gram, and groundnut. These technologies help enhance yield, reduce input costs, improve soil fertility, and encourage sustainable and environment-friendly farming practices.

Overview
The Agronomy Department at KVK Pal conducts On-Farm Testing (OFT) and Front Line Demonstrations (FLD) to evaluate and demonstrate improved crop production technologies under real farming conditions. These technologies focus on nutrient management, variety evaluation, and integrated nutrient management practices.
On-Farm Testing (OFT) Technologies
Foliar spray of 1% 19:19:19 soluble fertilizer (100 gm/10 lit water) at Flowering stage (60-65 DAS) and Pod Filling stage (90-95 DAS)
Evaluation of Phule Chetak variety for yield potential, adaptability, and disease resistance under local agro-climatic conditions.
Evaluation of Phule Vishwraj variety for yield performance, pod setting, and resistance to wilt and other diseases.
Front Line Demonstrations (FLD) Technologies
Demonstration of integrated nutrient management practices combining organic and inorganic sources for sustainable soybean production and soil health improvement.
Demonstration of INM practices for Bengal gram to enhance productivity, improve soil fertility, and reduce input costs.
Demonstration of natural farming practices (Zero Budget Natural Farming / Organic approaches) for groundnut cultivation without synthetic inputs.
Technologies Summary
These technologies aim to enhance crop productivity, improve soil health, and promote sustainable farming practices.
Expected Benefits
- Higher Yield: Improved productivity through balanced nutrition and variety selection
- Soil Health: Enhanced soil fertility through FYM and INM practices
- Cost Reduction: Reduced input costs through natural farming and INM
- Sustainability: Environment-friendly farming practices
- Varietal Adoption: Introduction of high-yielding Phule Chetak and Phule Vishwraj varieties
