Description of Agro-climatic Zone (based on soil and topography)

No / Agro-climatic Zone / Characteristics
1. / Temperate and sub-alpine zone / This Zone confined in the Central plateau of the District in an area around Jowai, part of Thadlaskein Block. Climate: The rainfall in this Zone is around 2800 - 6000mm which is well distributed. It is Humid and moderately warm and severe winter. The dominant geographic unit is upper and middle plateau. Soil: soil is Red to sandy soils, with varying texture and depth. Cropping pattern: The main crops grown in this zone are paddy, potato. Vegetables like Tomato, bean, radish, carrot is also grown wherever irrigation facility is available.
2. / Sub Tropical Hill Zone / This zone spread over the Northern Part of the District. i.e. (Laskein, and part of Thadlaskein,) are under this Zone. Climate : The average rainfall of this zone ranges from 1270- 2032 mm received in 150 days, about 70-80 % of annual rainfall is received during Monsoon period( June –September. The Maximum temperature of this Zone goes up to 20-27 0 C during April-May while minimum temperature is 6-9 0 C during December-January. It is humid and Warm. Soil: Soil co lour varies from Red to Sandy soil. Land use pattern: One of the characteristic of this zone is high percentage of cultivable land. The dominant geographic unit Hills is rolling and undulating piedmont Cropping Pattern: Major crops grown in this Zone are Paddy and Maize.
3. / Mild Tropical Hill Zone / This zone situated in the south western part of the district. Climate: Humid and warm, Very high rainfall which ranges from 4000 - 10000 mm mostly covered by semi deciduous forest. The maximum temperature ranges from 25-30 0 C and minimum temperature ranges from 8-10 0 C. The dominant geographic unit is severely dissected and undulating low hills, gentle to steep slope. Soils: The land is mostly covered with forest, land sometimes acidic in nature having poor fertility. Due to steep and undulated topography with high rainfall, soils are more prone to erosion leading to heavy degradation. The soil type varies from red to loamy. Cropping pattern: This zone has most of the forest area of the District .The population of this region depends on Natural resources and forest products like broomsticks etc. The main crops grown in this zone are areca nut, Betel leaf, banana, and fruits.

No / Agro ecological situation / Characteristics
1. / AES – I / The Situation is prevailing in the parts of Amlarem & Khliehriat Block of the District, having an Altitude of 0-600 m with very high and heavy rainfall. Areas. The crops grown in this situation are Paddy, Areca nut, Betel leaf, oranges etc. wherever supplemented by drip irrigation
2. / AES-II / The situation is spread over the entire District covering all the Blocks viz. Amlarem, Laskein, Thadlaskein, Khliehriat and Saipung Dev. Block of the District, having an altitude of 600-1200 m with high and low rainfall areas. The crops grown in this situation are paddy, maize, turmeric, ginger, and mulberry.
3. / AES –III / The situation is prevailing in the part of Laskein, Thadlaskein Khliehriat and Saipung Dev.Block of the District, having an Altitude of 1100 m and above with uniform rainfall areas. The crops grown in this situation are paddy, Maize etc.

Cattle
Fishery / 1.Low production of crops as the farmers are still adopting the traditional practices of cultivation ,imbalance application of fertilizers, non replacement of seeds etc,
2. Productivity per unit area is low and declining due to mono cropping system.
3.Pest and diseases incidence
4. Soil erosion and declining fertility of the soil due to acidity.
5. Rain fed agriculture dependent on rain water and lack of conservation measures
6.Dearth of draught animal,
7. Local breed with slow weight gain, low eggs production, High mortality, low conception rate etc
8.Mostly marginal farmers having Low family income & lack in skills / 1. Crop Production through adoption of proven production technology and uses of improved ,HYV and hybrid seeds, balanced fertilization etc
2. Diversification and intensification of existing farming system through adoption of multiple cropping, organic farming, crop rotation and proven technology like INM, Bio-fertilizers, etc.
3.Plant protection through Integrated Pest & Disease management practices and uses of Bio-agents and Bio-pesticides
4. Soil & water conservation measures, agronomic practices, crop rotation, liming etc.
5.Promotion for insitu conservation of water like dug out ponds, tanks ,mulching etc
6. Popularizing mechanization
7. Introduction of improved breed of livestock for commercial rearing
8. Promotion for creating revolving fund & educating them on improved management practices etc. /
