    2. Characteristic features Geographical area 2.22 lakh sq Kms Net Cultivated area 7.52 lakh ha Gross Cultivated Area 11.02 lakh ha Net area irrigated 3.11 lakh ha (42%) Av. land holding size 0.66 ha Small/ Marginal Farmers 85% Cultivable Waste Lands 1.41 lakh ha Agro climatic conditions Huge diversity; 5 Agro-climatic Zones

    3. Kharif Assessment 2011 Adequate quantities of hybrid seeds of maize and paddy besides good quality certified seed provided to farmers; Other inputs and trainings support put in proper place; Green manuring demonstrated at Department Farms with excellent results for popularisation; Fairly distributed rainfall over the season. Initially deficient rains in some drought prone areas, too recovered due to recent rains; No major disease or pest reported so far. Crop prospects good.

    4. Kharif Assessment (Area: lakh Hect., Prod. : lakh Mts., Yield: Qtls.

    5. Rabi Prospects 2011-12 Departmental Interventions: Easy access and timely arrangement of quality inputs & services will be ensured Early & timely sowing of wheat, oilseeds, pulses, fodder will be encouraged. Goal of 100 % Seed Treatments of various crops being pursued. Measures put in place for control of Yellow Rust disease in wheat. Provision of subsidy on Farm Machinery directly to farmers under different schemes. Emphasis on Soil & Water Management through RKVY and other Schemes

    6. Rabi Prospects 2011-12 Departmental Interventions (contd.) Augmenting Seed Storage Capacity at lower levels. Gearing up Extension Network & Capacity building of Farmers. Diversification in cropping system through Vegetable Initiative, Spices, Potato Seed Production and pursuing Double Cropping . Plant protection coverage through Mobile Plant Health Clinic. Predisposing Factors: Adequate residual moisture in soils from good Kharif rains and Good weather conditions. Rabi crop prospects GOOD

    8. Rabi Prospects

    9. Rabi Prospects Arrangement of Certified Seeds (Units in Qtls.)

    10. Rabi Prospects: Seed Replacement Rate

    11. Rabi Prospects Fertilizer Availability, Testing & INM

    12. Rabi Prospects Integrated Plant Protection Measures

    13. Rabi Prospects Farm Mechanization Latest Farm Machinery being promoted on large scale. Release of Subsidy directly to farmers on brands of their choice. Custom Hiring Centres established through farmers/ farmer groups for extensive use of machinery by neighbouring farmers

    14. National Mission on Micro-Irrigation ISSUES: Farmers are reluctant to adopt the Scheme as the quantum of Assistance is quite inadequate. Non-coverage of water source under the Scheme is an impediment. Manufacturers need to be asked to install some models in clusters in selected villages/ clusters on turn-key basis as Demonstration Units. Successful demonstration will attract more farmers and demonstration can prove a boon to dry-land areas.
