  What is RAWE?
 RAWE (Rural Agriculture Work Experience):-

Rural Agriculture Work Experience (RAWE) Programme is a key component in B.Sc.Ag

Degree programme. The RAWE (Rural Agriculture Work Experience) is conducted in
the 7th semester in the IV year. The main aim of the programme is to acquaint the
students with the villagers and the farming situation so that they can have practical
knowledge about agriculture

 Objective of RAWE

• Understanding the rural life by students.

• To get familiarize with the socio-economic conditions of the farmers & their probles
with reference to agricultural development.
• To provide an opportunity to the students for practical training in crop production through
work experience.
 KRISHIVAN RESEARCH
CENTRE,DEHRADUN

 Krishivan Research centre for Agripreneurship Development and

Environment Protection Samiti [KRCADEPS] is a Not-for-Profit Organization
[NGO], Located at Jhajhra is also recognized as Uttarakhand State Council
Science & Technology [UCOST], Govt. of Uttarakhand. They provide
agriculture and allied training/Agripreneurship development programme.

 KRCADEPS AIM To inspiring students to dream more, learn more, do

more, and become more in their respective journeys of life.
 SURVEY OF
VILLAGE
On our first day, we were gathered in the conference hall
for our next activities of the RAWE programme i.e. village
Attachment. All the faculties members came and gave the
instruction and guidance that to be followed during the
village attachment that to be followed during the village
attachment. Our RAWE co-cordinator Mr.Pramod
Chourasia told about the importance of this village
attachment. He allotted adopted village Dhulkot.
EXPERIENCE GAND IN RAWE

 Data collection from famer during village survey

 SUGARCANE:

 Agronomical intervention

 Agronomic approaches such as mulching, conservation tillage, intercropping,

early sowing, selection of crops and their varieties, and micro irrigation are
technically feasible and economically viable options to overcome drought problem in
crops.

 Agrochemicals are pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers used for the management

of ecosystems in agricultural sectors.
 PLANT PROTECTION INTERVECTION

• The plant protection intervention, we visited the field of Dhulkot and few farmers. I have talked
about the disease and insect pest infestation on their field’s.
• Maize: S.N - Zea mays – 20
Family – Poaceae
Disease: Leaf blight of maize(Exserohilum turcicum)
Symptoms:  The fungus affects the crop at young stage.
Management: Spray mancozeb@ 2 gram per litre.

 Sugarcane: S.N – Saccharum officinarum - 80

Family – Poaceae
Disease - Red rot of sugarcane( Colletotrichum
falcatum)
Symptoms - The spindle leaves display drying. Red
and white patches
within the cane.
Management – 0.1% Carbendadazim solution for 20
min before planting.
  Plant Clinic.

• Introduction to Plant Clinic:

• A Plant Clinic is a facility where farmer take sample of their infected plants to agronomists
and extension agents who diagnose and recommend pest management measures.The
advice may include use of pesticides or management methods like crop rotation, fertilizer
use etc.
• Objective:
 Explain disease as related to plant.
 Identify common plant disease.
 Describe ways plant disease are managed.
• IMPORTANT OF PLANT CLINIC:
Increase awareness
They can take the sample of the disease plant to any nearby plant health clinic .There the
sample is taken from the farmer and the plant doctors ask the farmer to fill a form
containing his name address ands mobile number .
• Proper management measures
There the sample is examined thoroughly it is first observed under
the microscope and its morphological study is done.
• Save time and money
Taking the right guidance from plant health clinics can save time,
money and reduce losses in agriculture.
 DUREING PLANT CLINIC WE VISITED KRISHI NIVESH
KENDRA. 
 Monitored by – Block Agricuture Officer
 Main objective of Krishi Nives Kendra:
• It provides agriculture information.
• It provides certified seeds to the farmer.
• It provides s pesticides, insecticides and fertilizers to the farmers
at low cost.
a. Stem borer
b. Mites(Controlled by chloropyriphos)
c. Armyworm (Controlled by Endosulfan)
d. Pod borer(Controlled by mancozeb, propinazol)

  SOIL IMPROVEMENT INTERVENTION
(Soil sampling and testing)

 Soil sampling and testing.

 Soil is an important matter for cultivation of any type of crop. Supplies many necessary
nutrients required for healthy growth of a crop. The yield is largely dependent on the
soil in which the crop grows. So, before cultivation, it is very important to check the soil
for its nutrients.
In short following are the benefits of ‘soil testing’:
 Soil testing encourages plant growth by providing the best fertilizer recommendations.
 It diagnoses whether there is too little or too much of a nutrient.
 Soil testing promotes environmental quality.
 It also saves money that might otherwise be spent on unneeded fertilizer.
 Three months after application of any organic or chemical fertilizers.
  HARWETING OF VERMI
COMPOST

 Vermicomposting.
 Vermicomposting, is the processing of organic wastes through earthworms .It is
a natural, odourless, aerobic process, much different from traditional
composting. Decomposable organic waste such as animal excreta, kitchen
waste.
 Species of Earthworm:
 Esenia foetid (Red earthworms)
(Australian earthworm)
 Red earthworm is preferred because of its high multiplication rate and thereby
converts the organic matter into Vermicomposting within 45-50 days.
Class - Oligochada
Total species - 3000
Body length - 3-10cm
Types of Earthworm:
a. Compost dweller
b. Surface Dweller
c. Shallow Surface
• One Earthworm - 36 tone soils regulate.
• Lifecycle of earthworm – 1-3 year (4-8).
• 1 pair earthworm – 30,000 - 100000 new earthworm produce.
• 1 egg – 3 earthworms
• Lay 20 eggs in a time
• 10 tone FYM = 800kg -1tonne Vermicompost
• 5 heart like structure is found in Esenia foetida
• Feeding habit of earthworm
• Esenia Foetida
• 75 – 90% = Eat organic matter
• Temperature = 18-35 degree Celsius
• Humidity – 60-10%

  MUSHROOM

CULTIVATION
Mushroom is the reproductive structure produced by some fungi. To
propagate it forms a mycelium initiate growth stage generating spores in the
gills of dispersal
