III. CREATION OF WATER RESOURCES (FARM PONDS)
Objective: Farm ponds are the man-made tanks constructed for storage
of water in the farmers’ field during rainy season from canals, bore wells etc.,
and to provide lifesaving irrigation to the crops or orchards during peak / critical
stages of summer to save the plants from drying up.
These are constructed by excavating the soil and depositing the earth on
the banks to form bund. The HDPE geo-membrane sheet is laid in the excavated
pond to arrest seepage and infiltration losses.

 Individual Farm Ponds: Assistance would be provided for creating water

source through construction of farm ponds for individuals. For smaller
size of the ponds, cost will be admissible on pro rata basis depending
upon the command area. This will also be in conjunction with MGNREGS.
However, for non MGNREGS beneficiaries, assistance @ 50% of cost will
be provided including the cost of plastic / RCC lining. Lining material
should conform to BIS standards. Maintenance of the asset will be the
responsibility of beneficiary.

 The ponds should be provided 1.5 :1 slope.
 The DHSO/ Ho should ensure that the command area is proportionate to
the size/ volume of community farm pond proposed.
 The DHSO/HO should ensure that, the farmer has to provide required
bund area for his/her farm pond.
 The volume of the farm ponds may be worked out by the following
formulae:
Bottom Area + Top Area X Total Depth of the pond

2
 The quantity of required Geo-membrane sheet may be worked out by the
following formulae:
Bottom width + 2 X Side slope length + 2 X side anchoring
 The storage capacity of farm pond may be worked out by

(Volume of the farm pond X 1000) liters
A) Preparation of pit:
 Mark out the outer corner of the selected field using pegs
 Measure the bottom dimension of the pond by calculating depth and
slope ratio. It appears in center of the outer corner of the selected site
and marked it excavation process.
 Excavate inner marked area first up to desired depth.
 After that, excavate rest area in inclined manner from one edge of
bottom to top of the outer edge of same side and repeat the same for next
three sides.
 Spread the excavated soil in the depressions for leveling and also on
edges to make bunds of desired height from ground level.
 Level the excavated pond in order to suppress the angular projection.
 Cut soil must be sealed or compacted unless the site is dug into a tight,
clay formation so that film could be saved from puncture caused by these
projections.
 After compaction, the whole area of pond should be treated with 4%
atrazine (Weedicide solution) so that the plastic film could be saved
from puncture caused by root infestation.
29
 After that all surface of pond should be smoothened properly.
 Excavate a trench of one cubic feet size on top of the bund at distance of
0.75-1.0 m from the inner edge of the pond for anchoring the HDPE film.
B) HDPE (high density poly-ethylene, with carbon Black)
This lining material shall be UV light resistant and one of the best
available to last many years (generally 100 plus). It is used in lining
under gasoline storage tanks, public dumps, toxic settling ponds,
aquaculture ponds, etc. It can be heat-welded together. A minimum of
0.5 mm (500 micron) film is best suited for regular ponds.
C) Laying of Geo Membrane sheet:

For laying of HDPE films minimum of 0.5mm (500 micron) film are
best suited for lasting of film and the following procedure are taken into
consideration:
 Choose the film as per BIS /ISI mark (IS: 15351 / IS: 10889 /IS:2508)
 Use minimum of 300/500 micron black HDPE film
 Calculate the film requirement for dugout pond and cut it accordingly
 Measure and cut the film as per calculation.
 HDPE films m an ufacture d into p a n e l s of s t a n d a r d widths.
Therefore convert the film into a single sheet as desired either
mechanically by heat- sealing machine like Hot Air fusion welding
machine or manually (by overlapping 15 cm of the edge of two sheet
and scrubbed lightly using emery paper or sand paper (120 grade) using
bitumen/Synthetic Rubber adhesive No -998 made by fevicol so that it
fit exactly to fit into the pond.
 Monitor the film in sunlight for searching/puncture hole if any, sealed
the hole with bitumen/adhesive or by heat-sealing procedure.
 The ends of the film at the surface have to be firmly buried in a trench
at the bank of the pond to avoid sagging in of the film.
 Care should be taken to avoid the wrinkles and film must be pleated at
the corner.
30
D) Pointing over the film
To protect the film from damage pointing over the laid film is required.
Generally, locally available material / easily available material to be used
• Over laying works can be done in many ways but most suitable
and economic ways are one of them is overlaying brick alone
completely on all four sides, bunds and bottom of the lined tank.
Secondly construct a brick work frame of size 2’ x 2’ and place mortar
of cement and soil (1:8) inside the frame.
• Install water inlet and outlet pipes duly fixing them in brick masonry
post over laid plastic film and to measure the discharge of water from
the tanks, a ‘V’- notch weir can be constructed.
• Drainage channel all along the border of the field is formed
according to the gradient/slope.
• Live grass/ Turf is established on the bunds of the pond to prevent
soil erosion.

3. PLASTIC MULCHING
Mulching is a practice followed for conservation of soil moisture, to check
weed growth and to improve the quality and yield of Horticulture crops. Some
of the tips for plastic mulching are
 The farmers are suggested to use different colours of mulching sheet
i.e., Black & White (summer season), Black & Silver (Kharif and Rabi
Season).
 Transparent mulch is recommended compared to black mulch as it
creates congenial microclimate for crop root zone.
 Soil temperature profile varies under transparent and black mulches
and hence for deep rooted crops black mulch is recommended.
 To remove the mulch sheet the farmers should wet the Soil before
ploughing the mulching sheet after completion of the cropping.
 Burning of mulching sheet should be avoided and it should be disposed
for recycling.
Thickness of Film:
In plastic mulching, the thickness of mulch film should be in accordance
with type & age of crops. Economics suggest that the film thickness should be
the minimum possible commensurate with desired life & strength. The
recommended thickness of mulch films for different crops is as under:
Thickness (microns) Crops Recommended

20-25 Annual - Short duration crops
40-50 Biennial - Medium duration crops
Perennial - long duration crops & crops
50-100
taken up in Pandals
Extent of Surface to be Covered under Film:

% Coverage Crops Recommended
20-25 All creeper crops
40-50 Initial stage of orchard crops
40-60 Fruit crops & cucurbitaceous
70-80 Vegetables, Papaya, Pine apple etc.,
90-100 Soil Solarization
52
Mulching area should preferably be equivalent to the canopy of the plant (larger
the canopy, larger the area of mulching and vice versa).
Calculation of Mulch Film Requirement (Approximately):
Thickness Area coverage Weight

Micron Gauge mm (m2/kg) (Gram/m2)
7 28 0.007 144 6.9
20 80 0.02 54 18.4
25 100 0.25 42 23
40 160 0.04 26 38
50 200 0.05 21 46
100 400 0.10 11 93
Indicative Cost of Plastic Mulching:

On the basis of 80% coverage of area under the film, indicative cost of
mulching for Horticulture crops would be Rs. 32,000/- per ha.
Examples for calculation of requirement of Mulch Sheet:
53
Terms & Conditions:
1. Farmers will be given choice to procure the mulching sheet of

their own choice by incurring full cost mulching material. After
verification of the vouchers and Physical verification in the
field, the assistance will be online transferred to the farmers
account as per the eligibility and cost norms.
2. Farmers once availed subsidy under this component is not eligible
for the 2nd time.
3. The subsidy is 50% of the permissible unit cost (limited to Rs.
16,000 / ha) with maximum limit of 2 Ha / Beneficiary.
4. The subsidy should be calculated on the basis of extent of surface
covered under plastic mulch. On the basis of 80% coverage of area
under the film, indicative cost of mulching for Horticulture crops
would be Rs. 32,000/- per ha.
5. The selected beneficiaries should be given training programme on
concept of Mulching, benefits of mulching, selection of mulch sheet,
quantity required and gauge of mulch sheet.
6. Only Horticulture crops are eligible for assistance.
7. DMC approval to be obtained for identified beneficiaries and for
final release of assistance.
8. The scheme shall be implemented for promoting intensive
cultivation of vegetables in a cluster mode.
9. Documentation with photographs should be done after laying out
of mulch sheet.

zone
Under MIDH norms a beneficiary may apply for construction and
expansion of cold storages up- to 10000 MT storage capacity. State Horticulture
Missions shall accept projects of capacity 5000MT and below and National
Horticulture Board shall accept projects of capacity larger than 5000MT. The
cost norms vary depending on scale of storage capacity.
For the purpose of these guidelines, 3.4m3 (cubic meter) or 120 cubic feet
of temperature-controlled storage space created shall be equivalent to 1 MT
(metric ton) of storage capacity, irrespective of the product stored.
Cold storage type 1: Are cold stores with large chambers (>250MT each),
each designed for single product storage. These types of stores are designed for
bulk long-term storage (potato, spices, pulses, etc.). This storage has handling
system for unpackaged or soft packaged produce, or produce stored in bags or
bins (non-retail packaging). Produce on exiting such stores have to undergo
bulk shipping to processing plants or subsequent packaging process for making
consumer retail packages. These are seen to be primarily brick & mortar
structures with multi- layered fixed or mezzanine floors. They incorporate small
handling area or open sheds designed for one-time seasonal loading (during
harvest season), and for smaller volume off-loading to serve specific buyer
demand. They must incorporate air monitoring and ventilation mechanism for
controlled air replenishment, enabling them to counter produce induced
modified atmospheric parameters inside the storage chambers.

The extant guidelines, standards and data sheets, as published by NHB on
behalf of Department of Agriculture and Cooperation, for cold storage projects
have been incorporated.

of Hilly & Scheduled areas for a
beneficiary)
maximum of 300 MT per
beneficiary.
Background Facts
It is also noticed that ripening chambers which are being set up under
various schemes of horticulture development, do not posses appropriate technical
standards. Main shortcomings noticed are as follows-
 Inadequate building design;

 Use of inadequate / unreliable insulation material with insufficient value
 Use of obsolete and energy inefficient refrigeration units
 Lack of uniform air flow circulation system
 Lack of controlled conditions and technology for ethylene, temperature
and relative humidity
 Lack of proper ventilation systems and exhaust fans for Co2 emission
 Lack of monitoring and control system and display devices;
 Use of unsafe electrical devices
It is therefore, necessary to prescribe appropriate technical standards in

respect of modern, pressurised fruit ripening units which are given in
following chapter.
I. Technical Parameters for Pressurized Ripening Chamber

 Unless specifically otherwise mentioned, all the applicable latest codes
and standards published by the Bureau of Indian Standards and all
other standards, shall govern in all respects of design, workmanship,
quality, properties of materials, method of testing and method of
measurements.
 Generally relevant ‘IS specification’ and ‘Code of Practices’ shall be
used for all electrical, mechanical and civil works/installation,
however, wherever IS code is not available, relevant standard codes of AS
ME /ASHRAE / IIAR or other International Codes are to be followed.
101
 Latest revisions will be followed in all cases. Even for Ripening of
Fruitsand Vegetables’ the process as recommended by IS Standards (e.g.
IS11977 of 1987 for ripening of green banana) or as per International,
Standards should be followed.
 The guidelines and technical specifications of NCCD (National Centre for
Cold Chain Development) should be followed
Storage capacity of ripening chamber may depend on fruits to be rip

ened & stacking and air‐flow system. In this context, banana may be take
n as reference crop for calculation of storage capacity for a given volume
of storage space. 11 cubic meter of chamber volume shall be equivalent to
1 metric tonne storage capacity of Ripening chamber.

unit with size of
1 sorting, grading 50% of cost in case Hilly &
9Mx18M
units, washing, Scheduled areas for
drying and weighing. individual entrepreneurs
This component refers to modern integrated pack-house with facilities for

conveyer belt system for sorting & grading, washing, drying and weighing of
Horticulture produce.
A modern integrated pack-house unit enables small lot sourcing of

horticulture produce, and should be built close to farming area. A maximum
admissible cost norm of 50 lakhs per integrated pack-house unit is applicable
for each beneficiary. The actual value of the equipment will vary as per design
options. The unit capacity of an integrated pack-house is considered at 16 MT
per day and is considered for output from 2MT/hour sorting grading line,
running for 8 hours a day. The design capacity of each project will be considered
pro-rata – for example a 32 MT per day throughput will be equivalent to 2 pack-
houses. The included equipment are weighing scales, mechanized facilities like
conveyer belt for sorting, grading units and where applicable washing, drying
units.
The component “Integrated Pack-house” includes:

1. Receiving area, covered: a covered shaded area for arriving produce to be
off-loaded and undergo pre-selection and weighing.
2. Enclosed covered sorting and grading area: a food handling hall with
mechanized handling and cleaning equipment.
3. Sorting and Grading conveyors: mechanized roller or belt based system
to allow working personnel to selectively pick and choose produce for next
132
activity, capable of handling 16 MT of output per day. Water based
conveyor system used for some crops.
4. Washing/Drying equipment: where required, mechanized washing
and drying lines.
5. Packaging area: designated area where produce is manually

packaged into market lots.
6. Electricity generator: a DG set to produce power for equipment

operations. Where alternate energy options (bio-mass based generators,
solar powered generators, etc.) are used, add-on technology component
will apply.
An area of 9 x 18 metres is the indicative enclosed area for each pack-

house. Each pack-house appraised under this component should have
minimum equipment to facilitate the basic sorting and grading. Additionally
washing, drying and weighing equipment can also be installed so that product
is readied for packaging. In special cases, such as bulk storage for perishables
like apples, sorting grading facility is built adjoining the storage facility to sort
storable quality. These pack-house facilities can handle up to 150MT per day.
Where the sorting grading line incorporates electronic sorting, the related add-
on technology component can be applied.
In case pre cooling, cold storage and ripening chamber etc., components
incorporated in integrated pack house, the related add-on technology
components can be applied as per MIDH norms.
Facility for conveyer belt system depends upon product to be handled. For
example in case of mangoes conveyer belt system is used whereas in case of
Bananas water troughs are used in place of conveyer belt system.

i.e., Rs. 5.25 lakh/unit
Component Definition:
This component is an insulated and refrigerated chamber which is a

necessary combination for Pre-Cooling Unit and serves as a transient storage,
while allowing the pre-cooler to be utilized for next batch load of incoming
produce.
Component Description
A maximum admissible cost norm of Rs.15 lakh/unit for a storage capacity

of 30 MT is applicable for each beneficiary. A pro-rata cost shall be considered in
proportion to other capacities or design options.
The component "Cold room (staging)" includes:
1. An insulated room of 100m3 volume - capacity to store 30MT
2. Associated refrigeration equipment.
3. Staging area - adjoining enclosed area to load vehicle for dispatch.
The component has been kept separate but must be appraised only when
attached to a precooling unit. The beneficiary must be advised that the cold
room (staging) necessitates the following:
1. Other preconditioning facility (integrated pack-house).
2. An appended Pre-cooler unit.
3. An ante-room for staging.
The design specifications of such cold rooms are similar to a cold store, with
the refrigeration design to suit humidity and temperature ranges for horticulture
produce. Where pre-coolers are built appended to an existing cold store, the cold
store itself serves this purpose.

5. PRE-COOLING UNIT
S. Max permissible
No Cost
Rs. 25.00 lakhs Credit linked back ended

1 Pre-Cooling Unit subsidy @ 35% of the total cost
per unit of 6 MTs
i.e., Rs. 8.75 lakh/unit
The component Pre-Cooling Unit refers to a specialized cooling room that

rapidly removes field heat from fresh produce after harvest and thereby prepares
the cargo for subsequent shipping. Precooling or post-harvest cooling is one of the
most critical steps in preparing fruits and vegetables for the extended cold-chain.
Pre-cooling unit must have an adjoined staging cold room in all pack houses.
Component Description
A maximum admissible cost norm of Rs.25 lakh/unit is applicable for each

beneficiary. The total capacity of a pre-cooler component considered is 18MT per
unit, i.e. capable of precooling 3 batch loads of 6 MT per day. A pro-rata cost shall
be considered in proportion to other capacities or design options.
The component "Pre-cooling unit" includes:
1. Insulated room: Thermally insulated room, designed to precool 6 MT

of fresh produce in temperature-controlled conditions and high humidity
levels.
2. Pre-cooler unit: Heat exchange coil with high airflow fans designed to
maintain very high Relative Humidity levels for batch load of 6MT.
3. Evaporating and Condensing Unit: Air cooled or water-cooled
condensing unit with refrigeration capacity and associated evaporator unit
to pull down the field heat of 6MT of fresh produce in 4 to 6 hrs.
4. Controls: Electronic controller for controlling refrigeration and for
temperature and Relative Humidity monitoring.
5. Electricity generator: a DG set to produce power for equipment
operations. Where alternate energy options (bio-mass based generators,
solar powered generators, etc.) are used, add-on technology component
apply.
6. In case of cold storages (type 2) which are designed with high capacity
refrigeration to pre-cool and pull down the produce temperature in each
storage chamber (i.e. CA enabled cold stores for apples, pears), 1% of the
cold storage volumetric capacity can be considered under component of pre-
cooler with a maximum capacity of 100MT.
145
Other kind of precooling systems include the vacuum cooler, hydro-cooler,
etc. and these have unique designs and will be considered for appraisal on
project basis.
Modern pre-cooler design incorporates equipment and design aspects to

sustain high RH levels (upto 98%) and high air flow and static pressure conditions.
This allows for maximum penetration of cooling medium for rapid temperature
exchange and minimal loss of moisture. Once this energy intensive phase is
completed, the produce is shifted into an adjoining cold room in preparation for
onward dispatch to cold storages or for direct market access. The pre- cooler is then
reused for the next harvest batch. Approximately 3 complete cooling cycles of 6
hours each can be output from a forced air pre-cooler every 24 hours. In example
of apple stores, the precooling is effected inside the cold store chamber over and
refrigeration capacity is suitably designed for this function.
Mobile pre-cooling units are also a subsidy component under these

guidelines. These may be apt for farms with internal roads and direct linkage with
a post precooling facility such as cold storage or food processing factory.
