Present study was done to analyse the growth rate of litchi production in Jashpur district of Chhattisgarh. with specific objectives of determining trend in area, production and productivity of litchi. India is the second largest producer of litchi in the world after China. Presently in India, litchi is cultivated in an area about 99170 hectares with total production of 737200 metric tons and productivity of 7.43 metric tons / hectare. Chhattisgarh produces nearly cultivated in an area about 8474 hectares with a total production of 58907 metric tons and productivity of 1.94 metric tons / hectare. It is mainly cultivated in the old district of Surguja, Jashpur, Balrampur and Surajpur. The study revealeds that the growth rates in area, production and productivity was negative and found to be -0.02 %, -0.04 % and -0.02 % respectively in India while, in Chhatisgarh it was recorded -0.05%, -0.05%, and -0.003% In Jaspur district, it was noted to be -0.06%, -0.04%, and 0.01% respectively.
In the agricultural sector, the highest electricity use goes to irrigation pump sets. Solar pump sets are a renewable source of energy that can replace existing diesel- and electricity-based pump sets. The Sour Sujala Yojna was launched by the Prime Minister to provide solar-powered irrigation pumps to farmers at a subsidized price. 56362 solar water pump sets were installed from 2016 to 2019 in Chhattisgarh state. In the study area, sample farmers were facing two major problems: the solar pump was not working during cloudy days, and second "low farm income". Rank 3 was "small land holdings," and through the solar pump irrigation, less area was covered, ranking 4. There is a maintenance problem that is minor or negligible. To solve the problem, a battery charge system with a solar pump should be added. and the water tank was fixed and stored above 20 meters. A solar pump is a renewable source of energy. So it does not affect nature. It is the best source of irrigation for future energy savings.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
