STATSPUNE 1 Statistics for Information Intensive Agriculture S.A.ParanjpeA.P.Gore

STATSPUNE 2 Indian economy Mainly agriculture based Heavily depends on monsoon Past three decades Food grain production doubled (95 million tons to 180 tons) Country moved from food deficit state to essentially self sufficient state. How? S.A.ParanjpeA.P.Gore

STATSPUNE 3 Green revolution: major factors High yielding varieties Chemical fertilizers Pesticides Irrigation All worked well till a decade ago Now food grain production has reached a plateau. Production growth not commensurate with population growth. Was green revolution an unmixed blessing? S.A.ParanjpeA.P.Gore

STATSPUNE 4 Other side of the coin Spread of High yielding varieties Use of chemical fertilizer Neglect of organic farming Use of pesticides Irrigation Dam construction  loss of indigenous varieties  dependence on import  decline of soil fertility  poisoning of soil and water  water logging and increased salinity of farmlands  Displacement of villagers S.A.ParanjpeA.P.Gore

STATSPUNE 5 Current focus Improvement in productivity of rain fed farming Means : choose varieties suitable to local conditions Fine tune management strategies: choice of sowing date – assured moisture avoidance of disease integrated pest control measures alternative cropping systems S.A.ParanjpeA.P.Gore

STATSPUNE 6 Prerequisites for developing new management strategy Understanding relationship between crop development & weather fluctuations at micro level temperature, wind, rainfall etc. S.A.ParanjpeA.P.Gore

STATSPUNE 7 Traditional rainfall analysis National level: yearly prediction Dry-wet spell: stochastic modeling Daily rainfall :ARIMA models Our approach: study weather fluctuations in the context of crop development at local level S.A.ParanjpeA.P.Gore

STATSPUNE 8 Illustration Crop : ground nut Locality: Chitradurg district in Karnataka Question : How best to control Groundnut pest ‘leaf miner’ A thought experiment conducted using current farmers’ practices daily rainfall data Part I : Pest control S.A.ParanjpeA.P.Gore

STATSPUNE 9 Current practices and knowledge of farmers AgeGrowth PhaseConditionResult -Pre sow 1 (P1) 1 cm rain in 3days then a dry day N-S Plough -Pre sow 2 (P2) 1 cm rain in 3days then a dry day E-W Plough Day 1Sowing (S) After July 4, 1/2 cm rain in 7 days sow Day Peg Formation Peg formation Dry spell (15 days) 1cm rain in 3 days Leaf miner Attack Pest washed out S.A.ParanjpeA.P.Gore

STATSPUNE 10 A Thought Experiment Year by year scrutiny of rainfall data: Is condition favorable for leaf miner attack? Rainfall data available for 84 years Dry spell of 15 days occurred in 58 years during ‘Peg formation phase’ Pest control strategy needed Should pesticide be sprayed immediately? Can one wait couple of days? Pest grows exponentially completely wipes out crop within 15 days What is the chance of getting corrective rains in time? S.A.ParanjpeA.P.Gore

STATSPUNE 11 Distribution of # of days between leaf miner attack & corrective rains Gap (K) # of years with gap KGap (K) # of years with gap K ObservedExpectedObservedExpected S.A.ParanjpeA.P.Gore

STATSPUNE 12 X: number of days between leaf miner attack and corrective rains Probability distribution: geometric P(X=j) = p*q (j-1) j=1,2,… Est(p) = 0.14 Model fits well S.A.ParanjpeA.P.Gore

STATSPUNE 13 Does the chance of corrective rains change with time of attack (days since beginning of Peg formation phase)? Time of Attack (days) Time of occurrence of correcting shower Total Early (Within a week) Late (After a week) Too late (After 2 weeks)   Total S.A.ParanjpeA.P.Gore

STATSPUNE 14 Chance of nature cure of attack (by rains) Early attack: 5/18=28% Late attack: 23/40 = 58% Alternative strategy: wait for a correcting shower if attack is late and use pesticide if attack is early S.A.ParanjpeA.P.Gore

STATSPUNE 15 Competing Strategies Do not spray any pesticide Spray as soon as attack occurs Early attack : spray. Otherwise don’t Wait up to X days for rains If not then spray S.A.ParanjpeA.P.Gore

STATSPUNE 16 Cost benefit analysis of 4 strategies Loss function L(j) = e.33*j j: number of days pest gets free hand L(j) =% crop lost up to j days L(j )  100 % ; j  15 Chloropyrephos spray : 2 ml /lt ; 250 lt/acre Typical yield: 4 quintal / Rs. 1000/- a quintal Rs. 4000/- income if no attack Treatment cost Rs. 750/- per acre % of gross income S.A.ParanjpeA.P.Gore

STATSPUNE 17 Comparison of 4 Strategies (Chitradurg) Strategy % Net Expected Income Using Geometric model for corrective rains Average from yearly data No spray Immediate spray81.25 Decide on time of attack78.47 Spray after 6 days S.A.ParanjpeA.P.Gore

STATSPUNE 18 Wait and see strategy : best of 4 Saves more that 10% over strategy 1 6% over strategy 2 Will same strategy work at other locations also? Location : Anantpur District in Andhra Pradesh S.A.ParanjpeA.P.Gore

STATSPUNE 19 Comparison of 4 Strategies (Anantpur) Strategy % Net Expected Income Using Geometric model for corrective rains Average from yearly data No spray Immediate spray81.25 Decide on time of attack70.00 Spray after 6 days Wait and see continues to be the best S.A.ParanjpeA.P.Gore

STATSPUNE 20 Fungus attack on Peanut Dry spell: insect attack Wet spell: fungus attack Part II: Fungus control S.A.ParanjpeA.P.Gore

STATSPUNE 21 Fungus: Puccinia arachidis Initial appearance: Northern provinces of India20 years ago Now covered 3/4 th of the country Peninsular India likely to get hit in near future if things continue Potential loss: very heavy Farmers in Maharashtra switched to sunflower S.A.ParanjpeA.P.Gore

STATSPUNE 22 Data: planned experiment 60 experimental units crop grown under varying weather conditions Fungus inoculated at plant age 40 days Response recorded: fungus severity every 10 days till plant age 120 days Weather records: Daily Max, Min temp, humidity, rainfall, sunshine hours S.A.ParanjpeA.P.Gore

STATSPUNE 23 Analysis: Two stage Logistic model fitted to fungal growth for each unit Parameters r-growth rate and K- highest severity estimated relationship between parameters and weather studied First step : straight forward Second step: too many weather variables, only 60 data points. (120days X 5 weather parameters every day) Problem: how to choose ‘best’ subset? S.A.ParanjpeA.P.Gore

STATSPUNE 24 Ad hoc method: 1. Fungus severity 10 days after inoculation one independent variable (reflects all weather effects till that time point & fungus not noticeable before this) 2. Take (say) Max temp for several days as regressors Choose a small subset 3. Repeat step 2 above for each weather variable 4. Combine selection- choose subset from this S.A.ParanjpeA.P.Gore

STATSPUNE 25 Results: K(highest severity level attained) = f( severity on 10 th day, sun-shine hours on 8 to 12 days, Max temp on 10 th day, Min temp on 7 th day) R 2 = 80% S.A.ParanjpeA.P.Gore

STATSPUNE 26 Using the regression When fungus noticed- use temp and sunshine hours data for 3 days before and 3 days after predict max severity Max severity can be anticipated 6-7 weeks ahead of time. How is this useful? Agriculture experts see two uses prophylactic spray- timely scheduling making up micro/ macro nutrient deficiencies S.A.Paranjpe A.P.Gore

STATSPUNE 27 Applicability: 1. Today these are ideas –untested 2. Solutions are location specific problem specific crop specific 3. Information on weather and crop development - essential S.A.Paranjpe A.P.Gore

STATSPUNE 28 Summing up Statistical analysis of Crop growth Pest / fungus behavior weather pattern Opens up new possibilities of eco friendly pest / fungus control S.A.ParanjpeA.P.Gore
