The "Manual on Smallholder Friendly Technologies" under Farm Northeast Phase - III is a comprehensive guide developed to support rural farmers in Morigaon District, Assam. This manual compiles practical, low-cost, and efficient techniques that have been successfully adopted by smallholder farmers during the implementation of the farm program run by GGSS.
The technologies featured in this manual are designed to enhance agricultural productivity, sustainability, and self-reliance among rural farming communities. The key techniques included are:
• Air Layering Propagation Technique – A simple and effective method for propagating fruit trees, ensuring high survival rates and faster maturity.
• Bamboo Propagation Technique – Promoting sustainable bamboo cultivation through efficient propagation methods.
• Indigenous Technique for Castration of Rooster (Local Breed) – A traditional, farmer-friendly approach to improving poultry management and meat quality.
• Modified Cold Storage – A low-cost, energy-efficient storage system that helps preserve perishable produce, reducing post-harvest losses.
• Papaya Propagation Technique – A systematic approach to growing healthy papaya plants with higher yield potential.
By documenting these technologies, this manual aims to serve as a practical resource for farmers, extension workers, and agricultural practitioners, ensuring wider adoption and long-term benefits for the farming community. We hope this guide empowers smallholder farmers with knowledge and tools to improve their livelihoods, enhance food security, and promote sustainable farming practices.
