Climate resistant low cost deep litter housing model for pigs was designed and developed using locally available resources suitable for high rainfall in mid/high altitude area. A pneumatic planter powered by power drill is designed and manufactured suitable for sowing pigeon peas, rice beans, cowpeas, corn and soybeans in the hilly terrain. Three-level agroforestry system for the sloping land of the mid-altitudes of the NEH region.
Megha Turmeric-1: Clonal selection from Lakadong local genotype, suitable for lowland and hilly region of northeastern states, Maturity: 300-315 days, Average yield: 27-30 t/ha, Tolerant to leaf spots and blotches. . The fruits also have a longer shelf life (15-18 days) due to the thick pericarp (5-6 mm) and are suitable for long-distance marketing. This variety has been found tolerant to moisture stress and is suitable for rainfed cultivation.
Suitable for leaf, leaf and grain purposes, for processing into pickled feed, poultry and pig feed, etc. The variety has a pendulous growth habit, suitable for high density planting with a yield potential of 12-15 t/ha under medium hills.
IV, April 2010) for the states of Uttarakhand Hills, Jammu and Kashmir and the northeastern states of the country.
Achievements
Flagship programme on Temperate Horticulture
Development of varieties of major crops and crop management practices to improve productivity of Jhum lands. Development of technology for faster rehabilitation and rehabilitation of Jhum land through mechanical and biological measures.
Flagship programme on trans-boundary animal and plant diseases
Acid soil management for productivity enhancement
Development of location specific varieties, resource conservation
To mitigate the impact of extreme weather conditions such as drought, many cropping systems are being evaluated. From Tripura drought tolerant rice like Tripura Khara dhan 1, 2 and Tripura Kakuchu 1 and 2 has been released.
Genetic improvement of plant and animal resources
A low-cost deep litter pig housing model has been developed along with water collection structure. Considering the changing climatic conditions of the region and the potential of buffaloes to adapt to a wide range of agrarian and diversified agro-climatic situations, ICAR Research Complex for NEH Region, Umiam, Meghalaya has introduced a total of 7 Murrah germplasms in March 2012 for the first conducted in northeastern conditions as a pilot study with the aim of accessing the suitability of the Murrah germplasm for northeastern conditions as this river buffalo is a triple purpose species contributing milk, draft and meat compared to the swamp buffalo which is considered a species with dual purpose - only draft and meat. Artificial insemination has become widespread in pigs, and a patent has been filed for an inexpensive portable dummy sow with a mating grunt system.
Studies on estrus synchronization in anestrus sows have been conducted during the summer season to improve fertility using PMSG and hCG in combination.
Health management in animals
Nutrition management in animals
Successfully introduced and popularized Amur Common Carp (a Hungarian improved strain) and Pengba (Osteobrama belangeri) - an endangered fish species to NE India, in addition to two indigenous minor carps for mid-hill aquaculture among the farmers of the hill region.
Farm Mechanization for hilly terrain
Generation and management of database on agricultural research in
Medicinal plants Research
The organisms tested included Escherchia coli ATCC 25922, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Salmonella Typhimurium ATCC 49416 and Listeria monocytogenes laboratory isolate. All cultures except Salmonella Typhimurium were identified in BD Phoenix 100 and stock cultures were maintained at 4°C on nutrient agar slants. The plant extracts with potent activity against the above cultures were further screened against multidrug resistant organisms such as Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus equorum, Staphylococcus aureus.
Escherchia coli ATCC 25922, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Salmonella Typhimurium ATCC 49416 and laboratory isolated Listeria monocytogenes were inoculated into the nutrient broth and kept overnight at 37°C. The next day, the antibacterial activity of the plant extracts was studied at 1:1 dilution from the stock solution of 200 mg/ml. Antiproliferative / anticancer activity: MTT assay, real-time PCR-based assay for caspase 3, caspase 8, caspase 9, p53, p21 genes, Cell cycle assay, Annexin-based apoptosis assay, PCR-based assay in real-time for cell cycle regulators such as cyclin E, cyclin D1, cdk4, cyclin B1, cdk1, annexin-based apoptosis assay.
Extension, Training and Transfer of Technology
The Northeast Agriculture Knowledge Innovation Repository (KIRAN) has been disseminating agro-advisory on best management practices, weather forecasting and contingency through SMS services. c) Highlights/Numerical terms/Economic returns Technology developed/commercialized. ICAR R C for NEH region is focusing on research on agriculture and allied sector including training and capacity building of farmers of this region. However, interstate growth in the livestock sector has been more equal than the crop sector.
The ICAR Research Complex for the NEH Region has been serving India's northeastern hilly region since 1975. The institute continuously strives to develop site-specific technologies through its ten departments at its headquarters in Umiam, Meghalaya and its six regional centers in the six hill states of the NE region. About 1,500 hectares of paddy lowland areas were left under oilseed rape, lentil and pea cultivation in the NEH region, mostly Manipur, Meghalaya, etc. The practice conserves soil moisture and requires less water for irrigation, saves on tillage costs, and the soil is protected from erosion by retaining surface residues.
Knowledge Innovation Repository on Agriculture in North East (KIRAN) disseminated agricultural advice on best management practices, weather forecasting and contingency measures through SMS services.
