  2. STRATEGIES & TECHNOLOGIES TO BE PROMOTED FOR EXTENDING SECOND GREEN REVOLUTION IN ORISSA Dr. M.M. PandaDean of ResearchOrissa University of Agriculture & TechnologyBhubaneswar – 751 0039th July, 2010

  3. ORISSA • Occupies 4.7 % of India’s area • Inhabitates 3.58 % human & 4.8% livestock • 1451 mm annual rainfall • 10.4 % water resources • 480 km coast length & 2400 sq km continental shelf • 10 agroclimatic zones • Frequent natural calamities (35 times in last 45 years) • Rich biodiversity • 2 out of 22 Agro-biodiversity hot spots (Koraput, Mayurbhanj) • 3 Biosphere Reserves (Bhitarakanika, Semilipal, Chilka) • Congenial climate for cultivation of most of the crops

  4. Land use classification Area in lakh ha About 17.86 lakh ha calls for massive investment for making culturable. To start with about 6 lakh ha can be taken up for suitable plantation at an approximate cost of Rs.24,000/ha.

  5. Cultivated land types in Orissa Area in lakh ha About 8 lakh ha of unirrigated high land can be covered by pulses (greengram, blackgram, arhar), oilseeds (groundnut, sesame) & vegetables by substituting uplandpaddy. A part of the low land (about 10%) can be converted to pond based Integrated Farming System at an approximate cost of Rs.50,000/ha. About 40 lakh ha needs treatment for soil and water conservation following the principles of Integrated Watershed Development

  6. Problem soils in Orissa Area in lakh ha Appropriate soil amelioration is required in about 44 lakh ha with approximate cost of Rs.1000/ha. Inadequate drainage is one of the major constraints in coastal Orissa which calls for re-sectioning & re-grading of the drainage channels.Provision of sub surface water harvesting structures & installing micro tube wells (30-40’ deep, 2-3” dia, Pump capacity limiting to 2 HP) can reduce drainage congestion and provides sweet water for irrigation.The cost norm is Rs.4000/ha for surface drainage, Rs.40,000/ha for subsurface drainage & Rs.15,000/ha for reclamation of waterlogged areas with bio-drainage (2mx2m).

  7. Source wise irrigation developed Area in lakh ha

  8. Irrigation facility can be extended to another 16.24 lakh ha for which potentiality exists. The cost norm is about Rs.2 lakhs/ha. The State intends to provide irrigation to at least 35% of the cultivated area in each of the 314 Blocks. There is a need of enhancing irrigation facility particularly through water harvesting structures in interior districts. In coastal districts the untapped ground water potential (82%) can be exploited. Recharging groundwater also needs attention. Efforts need be made for enhancing utilization of potential already created. Enhancement of water productivity should be the focus.

  9. Extent of rainfed area * More than 50 % of cultivated area are rainfed in 60 % of the districts

  10. Watersheds to be treated Source: Orissa Watershed Development Mission Plan wise treatment target (No.) * For treating 10,757 left over micro watersheds (500 ha each), Rs.6454.2 crores will be required at the existing cost norm of Rs.12,000/ha.

  11. Market scenario • Large number of intermediaries reduce share of producer in the market. Variation in vegetable retail price

  12. Climate is changing • Delayed monsoon onset (2 weeks) • Number of rainy days/year decreasing in southern Orissa by 5 days • Prolonged dry spell • More number of Heavy rainfall days • Increased flood and drought occurrence • Early start of summer (February onwards) • Post-monsoon period (coinciding with rice flowering) remains warmer which adversely affects yield • Fluctuating winter temperature • More intense and prolonged heat wave, even in coastal Orissa

  13. Effect on Agriculture • Kharif growing period decreased by 2 weeks • Increasing weather risk for timely operations • Increased risk of crop submergence • Increased damage due to dry spell / drought • Lower fertilizers use efficiency • Reduced quality of produce (grain discolouration) • New pests emerging (swarming caterpillar, sheath rot) • Increased salinity in coastal areas

  14. Research intervention • Development of new short duration rice varieties with resistance to drought. • Development of flood tolerant rice varieties. • Simulation crop modeling for optimum weather use. • Pest scenario prediction due to climate change. • Devising methods for faster dissemination of weather based agro-advisories. • Developing ways and means for increasing fertilizer and water use efficiency.

  15. Steps to enhance SRR • Seed village programmes on pulses, oilseeds & paddy • Establishment of processing plants within easy reach of growers • Establishment of dehumidified chambers at important production centres of groundnut • Service co-operative societies to be strengthened and be given the responsibility of seed distribution • SAUs to be supported to maintain indigenous elite germplasm / land races • Private dealers network to be extended to GP level • Incentives to seed growers for creating healthy competition • Capacity building of seed growers

  16. FERTILIZER CONSUMPTION • Fertilizer consumption in the State is low (62 kg/ha) compared to national average of 128.6 kg/ha. • A negative balance of NPK with wide spread deficiency of S, B, Mo & Zn is exhibited. • Integrated nutrient management / site specific nutrient management is to be promoted in majority of the areas so that soil health is maintained. • Organic agriculture need promotion in areas which are organic by default. Organic markets to be created for remunerative returns to farmers. • A less stringent certification procedure be developed & adopted particularly for the domestic markets.

  17. FARM MECHANIZATION * Tentative • The subsidy component on sale of farm implements has gone up from Rs.10 lakhs in 1986-87 to Rs.64 crores in 2009-10. • Electricity is required to be subsidized for agricultural use. • Drudgery reducing woman friendly farm equipments/ implements to be developed and popularized. • Self Help Groups to be trained to take care up repair and maintenance of farm equipments at village level.

  18. CROP PRODUCTIVITY (2007-08) * Productivity of groundnut, sunflower, sugarcane is above the national average. * Deficit in pulses (0.88 lakh t) & oilseeds (13.7 lakh t) to meet domestic requirement

  19. Research intervention (Rice) • Developing suitable varieties & agro-techniques for handicapped ecologies • Improvement of short grain local aromatic rice genotypes • Standardization of production technologies for SRI, aerobic rice & hybrid rice • Standardization of organic package for Basmati rice • Integrated pest management & popularization of use of herbicides & bio control agents • Development of resource conservation technologies (RCT) in rice cultivation • Development of technologies on adaptation & mitigation to combat climate change

  20. On-farm Trials in Rice (To be supported) • Evaluation of rice hybrids • Evaluation of drought tolerant rice varieties • Evaluation of submergence tolerant varieties (Swarna Sub-1) • Evaluation of short grain aromatic rice varieties • Evaluation of raised and sunken bed method of cropping in canal commands • Use of herbicides for weed management • Integrated nutrient management in rice • Integrated pest management in rice

  21. Research intervention (Pulses) • Development of cold tolerant mung bean (Research in progress). • Identification of suitable HYVs pulses for various seasons & agroclimatic condition (To be strengthened). • Developing package of practices on pyra cropping (To be strengthened). • Evaluation of low BOAA containing Lathyrus varieties (To be supported). • Standardizing INM, IPM & IDM technologies (To be strengthened) • Production of Breeder seeds in farmers’ field (To be supported). • Evaluation of performance of different irrigated pulse crops including Rajmash in rabi (To be supported).

  25. Research intervention (Maize) • Developing quality protein maize and it’s popularization in tribal districts for nutritional security. • Development of short duration varieties / single cross hybrids. • Standardization of production technology for sweet corn. • Maize based intercropping • Value addition

  26. Integrated Farming System • Our focus is on small and marginal farmers (84%) majority of whom operate under Complex, Diverse, Risk prone situations. • A rural family having 6 members including two children requires approximately Rs.60,000 / annum for livelihood security. • This has to be derived from the income from farming and allied enterprises for the small and marginal farmers. • But no single farm enterprise is likely to support them for generation of adequate income and gainful employment year round. Integrated Farming System is the option.

  27. Research priorities • Development / identification of suitable varieties of crops for different agro ecological situations / handicapped ecologies. • Developing adaptation and mitigation technologies to manage climate change. • Development of Integrated Farming System model for small and marginal land holders. • Amelioration of soil acidity. • Management of nutritional deficiencies and toxicities. • Integrated nutrient management for major crop sequences.

  28. Research priorities contd….. • Developing organic package of practices for high value crops. • Enhancement of water productivity. • Integrated management of pests and diseases of important crops. • Developing drudgery reducing women friendly agricultural implements. • Developing technologies for value addition of agricultural produce including packaging of perishable vegetables / fruits.

  29. Technology Development Process • Develop appropriate technologies through research in a farmer participatory mode. • On-farm trials in large scale to be conducted in farmers’ field. • Implementation of research projects / on-farm trials on contract basis.
