Ø  Crop Production:

v  Shading crop cultivation in ginger:- Sowing of maize in lines after every 3 to 4 lines of ginger i.e. at an interval of 1.5 to 2m distance or Arhar in lines at the intervals of 3 to 4m distance will serve as the optimum shading crop for ginger.

v  Application of Sulphur @ 25kg/ha in the form of gypsum to onion has been recommended for its optimum productivity.

v  Application of farm yard manure (FYM) @ 10 t/ha in combination with a little Urea (25kg/ha) is as effective as 100% NPK in terms of crop yields of maize-wheat cropping sequence under rainfed conditions.

v  Optimum irrigation schedule for major crops of the region for efficient use of available water and most efficient water user cropping systems for rainfed conditions have been recommended. Low cost water storage and utilization system (LDPE film lined tanks and conveyance systems) have been developed and demonstrated successfully on farmers fields for limited irrigation and for growing off-season vegetables.

v  Remunerative cropping sequences and systems for rainfed and irrigated situations have been developed. Maize-Toria-Wheat, Maize- Toria +Gobhi Sarson   (1:1), Maize- Tomato-Wheat, Arhar-Wheat, Rice-Wheat, Maize-Cholai-Wheat have been recommended for rainfed situations. Maize-Peas (Veg.) –Sugarcane + Cowpea (Fodder)-ratoon-Wheat have been recommended for 2 years sequence for irrigated situations.

v  Intercropping of Maize in ginger, Toria in Gobhi Sarson, Taramira in Chickpea were more profitable than their sole cropping

Ø  Bee Keeping:

v  Bee keeping at Dhaulakuan was started in the year 1974 with the installation of 25 colonies of  Apis mellifera provided by Bee Research Station, Nagrota Bagwan, Distt. Kangra with the aim to promote beekeeping in the region and capacity building of the bee keepers. After the grand success of ‘Bee Colony Migration Project’ undertaken by BRS, Nagrota Bagwan in the year 1982, where a unit of 50 Apis mellifera colonies were migrated to NDRI, Karnal with the aim to study the impact of inbreeding on honey yield and 1565 kg honey was extracted there from 45 colonies in spring season alone with an average honey yield of 35 kg/colony, the bee keeping was taken up by many farmers as an allied entrepreneur. The results of this project were disseminated to beekeepers and since then they are regularly undertaking migration of Apis mellifera colonies to the plains and earning lakhs of rupees.
