  7. Strategies for Seed Production • Strengthening of establishing Cooperative seed production societies to facilitate Beej Sangh. • Linking farmers to the seed production channel by providing the breeder, foundation & certified seed at subsidized rate. • Capacity building of the farmers by providing training. • Strengthening of seed certification agency by developing infrastructure, recruitment of additional staff and 4 Seed Testing Laboratories. • Developing storage, Transportation and Post harvest facilities. • Bonus for seed producer farmers.

  8. Critical Interventions to increase Oilseed & pulses Productivity and Production Contd… Popularization of short duration varieties in water scarcity areas. Popularization Botrytis & Drought resistant varieties in Castor and wilt resistant varieties in Sunflower. Sowing through Multi crop planter for maintaining plant optimum population . Popularization of pre emergence weedicides for effective control of weeds. Effective use of water through sprinkler sets and water carrying pipes in low water availability areas. Capacity building : On farm training through FFS 8

  9. Critical Interventions to increase Oilseed & pulses Productivity and Production Contd… • Adopting Dry Land Technology like Water Harvesting structures (Farm Ponds) for protective irrigation and effective utilization of water resources. • Enhancing the Extension Reach NGOS’ by utilizing Press and Electronic media. • Planning with Research back up by working in co-ordination with scientists, KVKs to extend timely guidance. • Special emphasis on Information Technology by providing information online through AGRISNET.

  10. Bidar Technology in Red Gram • Seedling Preparation : • 3 to 4 weeks prior to monsoon • Spacing : • Heavy soils: 6 X 2 or 6 X 3 ft. • Medium soils: 5X2 or 5X3 ft. • Nipping : • 20 - 30 days after transplanting • Escape mechanism for pest and • moisture stress • Early planting and Early harvest • 40 % increase over normal yield.

  11. Farm ponds for protective irrigations • Per farm pond area irrigated :- • -Flood irrigation: 1 - 1.25 ha. • - Sprinklers : 2 – 2.25 ha. • Rise in ground water level by 0.5 - 1 Meter. • Useful to irrigate at critical crop stage under dry spell • Useful in saline tract of vidhrbha region of Maharashtra.

  12. Farm Mechanization in Pulse village Deep Ploughing Sangoshthi Raised-Bed Planter Spiral Grader Rotavator Raised-Bed Planting

  13. Enhancement of Productivity Through INM and IPM Seed treatment with fungicides and Bio agents. Popularization of Rhizobium culture application. Popularization of Phosphorus Soluble Bacteria. Adopt soil test based fertilizer recommendations and application of gypsum in irrigated groundnut crop for Ca ,and Sulphur requirement . Rectification of Micronutrient deficiency through application of ZnSO4,Boron. Maintenance of optimum plant population is a key factor to achieve higher yield. Pest monitoring and control through pheromone traps, Trichoderma cards. Training on identification of Pest/Disease and effective control through appropriate chemical and dosage. Parthenium eradication campaign may be taken up at appropriate time. 13

  15. VILLAGE ACTION PLAN • To take steps to prepare Village Action Plan with a view to converge Departmental Schemes by Identifying the Existing gaps at Village level. • 1/3rd Villages to be identified for Convergence of the various extension programmes and other Departmental schemes. • The major gaps identified in the last 2-3 seasons and appropriate interventions like: - Organisation of SVP where problems related to seed were noticed - Organizing Demonstrations under Organic farming where problematic soils have been noticed • - ICM practices to be taken up where major Pests, Diseases • outbreaks and indiscriminate use of pesticides were observed -

  16. Enhancement of Productivity Through INM Enhancement of Productivity Through IPM • Seed treatment fungicides and Bio agents • Pest monitoring and control through pheromone traps, Trichograma cards for stem borer management. • Training on identification of Pest/Disease and effective control through appropriate chemical and dosage. Popularization of Rhizobium Culture Application Popularization of Phosphorus Soluble Bacteria Rectification of Micronutrient deficiency through application of ZnSo4,Boron and gypsum

  17. Transfer of Technology (TOT) • Innovative system for transfer of technology to farmers every year by covering farmers in each district in clusterapproach through joint mobilization of scientists of KVK & ATMA. • Formation of Farmer's interest group to develop Farmers producer's organization for dissemination of technology, Seed production, Input arrangement and Marketing to increase production and productivity. • To promote Pulses through Public Private Partnership in selected districts to achieve the production as well as value addition. • Reform of Extension technologies through farm field school, training, demonstration, exchange programme through study tour, transfer of technology through Mobile SMS • Developing every block office as KisanGyanKendrastodisseminate information to farmers free of cost through internet. • Other activities: Field day, KisanSangosthi, Farmer's Scientist ineraction, KisanMela. Comunity Radio Station.

  18. Proposed Interventions under Pulses production programme • Inclusion of Seed subsidy component : For Production and distribution of breeder and foundation seed. • Seed Minikits : For promotion of new varieties. • Water storage structures for protective irrigation – Farm ponds. • Moisture conservation technology tools • - BBF Planter, Ridge - Furrow planter • Inclusion of ToF component. • Creation of storage infrastructure. • Value addition through post harvest technology. • Market led extension.

  19. In-situ Moisture Conservation through BBF Cluster demonstrations on 8200 ha in Wardha district

  20. Strategies for enhancing Pulse and Oilseed Production Agronomic Practices • Emphasis on 100%seed treatment with fungicide & Ammonium Molybdate (1g/kg in chickpea) . • Production & distribution of quality seeds to increase SRR & VRR. • Promoting the Resources Conservation Technologies (RCT) such as use of Zero Tillage Seed Cum Fertilizer Drill, Rotavator, Laser Land Leveler and furrow irrigated raised bed (FIRB) planting. • Developing irrigation facilities to cover more area. • Promotion of large scale Ridge Furrow in Soyberan and pulses. • Promoting use of Sprinklers. • Use of post emergence weedicides as per recommendation. • Emphasis given on control measures for diseases, termites and rats. • Encouraging line sowing in place of Broadcasting. • Use of short duration varieties under Late sown condition • Emphasis on water conservation, watershed management & sprinkler irrigation. • Survey and surveillance for disease and insect pest.

  23. Outcome of Surveillance and Monitoring of pest and disease CROPSAP Project • Through this project, pest incidence on Rice, Soybean, Cotton, Tur and Gram crops is scientifically and rigorously monitored on-line. • Experts send advice on-line to Field Officers and advisory SMS are sent to farmers.

  24. Agro advisory through SMS • Objectives: • Timely, precise and location specific advisory to the farmers on crop management, crop health, Agro- metrology etc. • Information to the farmers on important events and schemes. • Advisory delivered in Marathi and English

  25. e-Governance -2012 Gold Award winner project Crop Pest Surveillance and Advisory Project (CROPSAP)

  26. Issues for Research Development of resistant variety for Helicoverpa in pulses Development of multiple disease resistant varieties in pulses Development of drought tolerance varieties in pulses Development of low/high temperature tolerant varieties of pigeonpea, chickpea, Lentil & pea. Development of water-logging to tolerant & extra early maturing Pigeonpea (varieties & hybrids) Development of short duration (60-65 days) YVM resistant varieties of mung/urd bean Development of bold seeded lentil varieties for export purpose Development of vascular wilt and sterility mosaic resistant Pigeon pea. Development of extra large seeded Kabuli Varieties of chickpea for export.

  27. Specific Issues & Suggestions • Assistance on purchase of Breeder seed and production of foundation and certified seed should be provided. • Shortage of disease resistant varieties of Gram & Lentil. • Special programme on Kabuli gram production & procurement for export purpose. • Assistance on the fertigation system for Gram crops • Raising the subsidy on irrigation water saving devices up to 75%. • 75% financial assistance should be provided to SC/ST & small Marginal farmers in GOI schemes. • The minimum support price of chickpea and lentil fixed by the Government is less than the market price. • The cultivation of these crops are very risky, thus provision of bonus on MSPby the Government may be initiated.

  28. Specific issues and suggestions – NFSM Pulses 1) Subsidy component of breeder and certified seed production is deleted from 2012-13. This crucial component needs to be continued. 2) Subsidy norm for certified seed required to be revised as per prevailing seed cost Seed distribution subsidy 50% of the cost or Rs. 4000/Qtl whichever is less may be considered.

  29. Issues - ISOPOM • Phospo Gypsum contains heavy metals and traces of radioactive elements, which are unhealthy for soil, crops and human being . • SSP & BentoniteSulphate can be the alternative for gypsum • 80 % WDG Sulphur was permitted only for trial purpose and it is also not included in FCO • Subsidy norms need to be revised

  30. Procurement of Pulses & Oilseeds • Poor procurement of Pulses and Oilseed. • Effort for procurement of pulses & oilseed to be undertaken • NAFED (Central Govt. Agency) to tie-up for procurement. • District wise target for procurement of Pulses / Oilseed finalized on the basis of production. • Dy. Commissioner of concerned district designated to oversees the procurement process. • ATMA & other agencies to be involved for awareness programme for procurement.
