00:00In Sitapur, Gujarat, at the Agricultural Science Centre,

00:03a seed called Jadgi is being grown.

00:08This is the only KVK in the state where this seed is grown.

00:14What is special about this?

00:16And how can farmers make more profit from this crop?

00:20To talk about this whole subject,

00:22today we have come to the Agricultural Science Centre, Sitapur.

00:24And behind me you will see that this is the same crop that we are discussing.

00:28This is Jadgi, which is now ready to be cut.

00:32And the crops of many fields have already been cut.

00:38How was this used here in this regard?

00:41So, let's talk to the officials here.

00:44Mr. Sandeep, what is the subject of this and why did you come here?

00:47See, we call this in English as Niger.

00:51And if we talk about this, it is called Ramtil.

00:53And at the local level, it is called Jadgi or Parvat.

00:56See, this is a crop of very short duration.

00:59And it produces its oil.

01:01Because we, the Agricultural Science Centre,

01:03the main part, is one such in the whole state,

01:06which does the work of seed cultivation.

01:09And from the whole state, in the Agricultural Science Centre,

01:11along with this, in addition to this state,

01:14in other states also, last year, in Madhya Pradesh also,

01:17we have given seeds in several Agricultural Science Centres.

01:22Through our Indian Agricultural Science Centre,

01:25our work is carried out.

01:27In this, it is cultivated in the fields of the farmers.

01:30And in a vast area of 40 hectares,

01:34on the main part,

01:36along with this, in the villages next to Sitapur,

01:39by cultivating this, we are giving the farmers

01:41the maximum economic profit.

01:43Absolutely.

01:45So, you have heard that farmers have also been given samples here,

01:50according to the scheme of the government.

01:52Let's talk to the farmers here.

01:56Tell us, how do you plant this?

01:58And what is the specialty of this Jatgi, this Niger?

02:02We plant this in a place where we have less availability of water.

02:07It takes 1 to 2 sowing seeds.

02:09Okay?

02:10This is a crop of 90 to 100 days.

02:12In this, 5 to 6 kg per hectare,

02:15your seed is planted.

02:17Okay?

02:18And in this, we do not have to use any kind of herbicide or pesticide.

02:24Okay?

02:25And we harvest it after 90 days.

02:29So, we get 6 to 7 quintals per hectare yield.

02:33And from this, you get 1 kg oil from 3 kg.

02:39With this, you get the extra benefit.

02:43What will be the price of the seeds and oil?

02:45The price of the seeds is 13,000 rupees per quintal.

02:50And what is the price of the oil?

02:53The oil is sold for 350 rupees per litre.

02:57So, what would the farmers want to say?

03:01Can't they make a profit by planting Jatgi crops?

03:05Yes, by planting Jatgi crops,

03:07you do not have to put any kind of extra input.

03:11So, the cost is very less and the benefit is more.

03:17Let's compare.

03:18What are the uses of the seeds and how is the oil more beneficial than other oils?

03:23In this, Niger seeds have a good source of protein,

03:28anti-oxidant.

03:29Okay?

03:30And in this, 40 to 50% oil content is there.

03:35Okay.

03:36How beneficial are these seeds?

03:40In food as well.

03:41In increasing the income of the farmers as well.

03:43Mr. Sanjeev, what do you do with the seeds that you have planted here?

03:49See, these seeds,

03:51we give it to our seeds department.

03:56Through the seeds department,

03:58they supply the seeds to the entire state.

04:01But whichever department or farmer needs seeds,

04:05we provide them seeds from our center as well.

04:09How much do you charge for the seeds?

04:13See, if we talk about the seeds,

04:15it is Rs. 130 per kg.

04:17The seeds are sold according to the government rate that is approved.

04:23The best benefit of this is that when we harvest it,

04:27after harvesting,

04:29we make a vermicompost out of it.

04:42Because after harvesting, it is very soft.

04:45So, the keshua that is there in vermicompost,

04:47it is eaten easily.

04:48So, vermicompost is made very quickly.

04:51So, we get double the benefit in this.

04:54You were seeing that,

04:56like this, the scientists of the Science Centre,

04:59here,

05:00Jatgi's Ramtil, as it is called,

05:03they have prepared its seeds.

05:05And in Chhattisgarh,

05:06the seeds are supplied from here.

05:09Madhya Pradesh has also sent seeds from here.

05:11And the biggest feature of this is that

05:14in its farming,

05:16you do not need to work hard.

05:19It is harvested in less water.

05:22Along with this,

05:23in addition to this,

05:25pesticides, herbicides,

05:26and other fertilizers and supplements,

05:29do not need to be added.

05:31And the market price is also quite high.

05:33So, if the farmers have such land,

05:37such conditions,

05:38then they can cultivate this Ramtil

05:41and earn more profit.

05:43Desh Deepak Gupta, ATE Bharat, Sarbhuja.
