  1. National Conference on Agriculture For Rabi Campaign 2013-14 (24-25 September 2013) AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT, GUJARAT

  2. Soil & Land Resources for Agriculture Development Water Energy & Farm power Agriculture Infrastructure Agro advisory network Credit & Insurance Human Resources Group- 3 : Strategies for Resource Management for Better Input Use Efficiency

  3. Soil & Land : Status Land use classification • Only 50 % area available for agriculture • 60 % area under Arid & Semi Arid region • 65 % area under rain fed cultivation • 66 % Small & Marginal land holders • Soil erosion, Depletion of Water Table, Salinity ingress / Sea Water Ingress • 21.80% saline and 19.62% water logged area. Group- 3 : Strategies for Resource Management for Better Input Use Efficiency

  4. Soil & Land : Nutrient status & Issues Issues & Causes Nitrogen deficiency in Soil • Higher N2 consuming crops like Cotton, Castor, Maize, Jowar • Low C:N ratio • Low use of organic manures • Low fertilizer use efficiency Micro nutrient deficiencies • Micro nutrient deficiency in Cotton, Groundnut & vegetable area • Use of N-P-K fertilizers only • Low use of organic manures • Mono and Intensive cropping Group- 3 : Strategies for Resource Management for Better Input Use Efficiency

  5. Soil & Land : Present work & Vision Present work Vision & Strategies Diagnostic work Awareness • Awareness campaign for balance use of chemical fertilizer • 2 Mobile Soil testing van equipped with LCD & extension material • Increase area under adoption of green manuring (target – 25,000 ha. In 2013-14) • Soil Health Card to all farmers (42.39 lakh in 1st phase & 13.05 lakh in 2nd phase) • Micro nutrient map at Village level – 3280 no. • online accessibility : e-kiran Development work • 102 Soil Testing Laboratories • 50 STLs equipped with Micro nutrient testing facilities • Large scale bio compost unit at Sugar Co-operatives (2.90 lakh MT Capacity) • SSP Production capacity enhanced up to 5.1 Lakh MT from 3.8 lakh MT in last two years • Promotion of Rotavator for putting back crop residue in soil (> 22,000 rotavators given on subsidy basis in last two years) Development • Production capacity of Liquid bio fertilizer increased up to 20 lakh liter at the end of 2013-14. • Promotion of arid area horticulture crops in culturable waste land Group- 3 : Strategies for Resource Management for Better Input Use Efficiency

  6. Water : Irrigation status & resources WATER RESOURCES Irrigation Status (Million Cubic Mtrs) Total cropped area : 122 lakh Ha. (SCR) * except Sardar Sarovar Yojana • 19 major and 70 medium irrigation projects • >1000 minor irrigation projects • > 1.50 lakhs check dams Group- 3 : Strategies for Resource Management for Better Input Use Efficiency

  7. Water: Present work & Vision Present work Vision & Strategies • Promotion of Participatory Irrigation Management (PIM) • Deepening of village ponds & lining of canal for increase the serving capacity • Increase area under MIS with target of 1.5 to 2 lakh ha. per year • Planning of water harvesting structure (during 12th FYP) • 7000 village ponds • 55000 farm ponds • 12000 Sim talav • Special incentives for MIS • > 7.4 lakh ha. Area covered under MIS • Electricity Connection to MIS Beneficiaries on priority basis • Promotion of Mulching and improved agronomical practices • Large scale programme for water harvesting structure (during 11th FYP) • 6424 village ponds • 50641 farm ponds • 9766 Sim talav Group- 3 : Strategies for Resource Management for Better Input Use Efficiency

  8. Energy & Farm Power ENERGY FARM MECHANIZATION Issues • Separated power supply for agriculture and domestic • Assured 8 hours agriculture power supply at pre-decided schedule • 24 hours domestic power supply to all villages, which supported small scale agriculture processing units • Electricity Connection to MIS Beneficiaries on priority basis • Less adoption of hi-tech equipment • Less mechanization adoption among small and marginal farmers • Budget for farm mechanization Achievement • Increased budget for farm mechanization (Rs. 210 Cr. In 2011-12 & 285 Cr. In 2012-13) • Agro Service Provider and Custom hiring unit for Small & marginal farmers (550 in two year) • Incentives for Hi- tech machineries like Sugarcane harvester (72), combined harvester (55) , laser land leveler (300) in last two years Group- 3 : Strategies for Resource Management for Better Input Use Efficiency

  9. Farm Mechanization Gujarat Farm Power the availability increased from1.6 kW/ha. (2009-10) to 1.74 kw/ha. (2012-13) and vision for 2.1 kW /ha. By end of 12th FYP. Strategies & Vision Group- 3 : Strategies for Resource Management for Better Input Use Efficiency

  10. Agriculture Infrastructure Gujarat Agriculture Growth is well supported by good agricultural infrastructure Cold Storage Group- 3 : Strategies for Resource Management for Better Input Use Efficiency

  11. Credit & Insurance Ifwe work together at all levels, Drought is not a Disaster, but a Management Issue. Group- 3 : Strategies for Resource Management for Better Input Use Efficiency

  12. Agro Advisory & Human Resources Key Challenges & Constraints • Traditional farming techniques in practices • Huge yield gaps exists between experimental yields & at farm level • Gaps in implementing integrated farming approach Group- 3 : Strategies for Resource Management for Better Input Use Efficiency

  13. Agro Advisory & Human Resources Interdisciplinary approach to Knowledge production Infrastructure Facilities • 4 Agricultural Universities, • Agriculture & Allied sector Colleges increased from 11 to 33 in last 5 years. • 24 Poly Techniques, • 9 ITI colleges • 8 Agriculture Training Institutes • 95 Research Stations including 14 Centre of Excellence Group- 3 : Strategies for Resource Management for Better Input Use Efficiency

  14. Technology Generation for Sustainability technological progress in agriculture needs to become more pluralistic and knowledge intensive for better resource management Thanks Group- 3 : Strategies for Resource Management for Better Input Use Efficiency

  15. Mobile Soil testing van for Extension
