  2. Challenges Rainfed area (83%) Shallow soils (40%) Degraded lands (42%) Drought prone area (52%) Coarse cereals Low value & declining demands (Jowar, Bajra) Small Holdings 89 lakh holdings < 2 ha. (73%) Av. Holding size - 1.33 ha.

  3. Results of Crop Cutting experiments by SASA (as per IIIrd Advance estimate)

  4. Results of Crop Cutting experiments by SASA Area, Production and Productivity : (as per IIIrd Advance estimate)

  5. Procurement figures of foodgrains for 2010-11 Endorsed by State Food Secretary

  6. Expenditure under State as well as CentralProgrammes (Supporting Foodgrain Production) (Rs. in Crores) * Less release by GOI in 2007-08 ** Rs. 11 Crore released by the end of March 2011

  7.

(Tur -29, Mung- 34, Udid-44,Gram -21)

  8. PADDY COMMUNITY NURSARY

  9. Conversion of Farm Pond with Pump sets A3P Mung Demonstration plot Use of Sprinkler Set in Wheat

  10. Accelerated Pulse Production Programme (A3P) - 2010-11 • Strategy • Cluster Approach • Farmers Group Strengthening • Training of group leaders & Farmers with involvement of SAUs • Improved technology package as recommended by SAU • Technology Dissemination through Cyber Extension

  11. Case study • Village - Ghusur , Block & District – Akola • Total farm families in the village – 900 • Farm pond constructed – 110 under RKVY FARM PONDS Area brought under protective irrigation – 250 Ha.

  12. New Initiatives / Innovations Taken • Crop Pest Surveillance & Advisory Project ( CROPSAP) • In-Situ Soil Moisture Conservation • Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Mahotsav • Cyber Extension • Maha Krishi Sanchar • Dhanya Bazar • Agro Journalism Workshop • Project based Agriculture Extension

  13. Crop Pest Surveillance and Advisory Project(CROPSAP) Objectives:- Pest surveillance Pest Advisory Awareness creation Pest Management-IPM Area of Operation : Soybean : 26.00 Lakh Ha. Cotton : 39.73 Lakh Ha. Pigeonpea : 13.84 Lakh Ha. Paddy : 13.65 Lakh Ha. Gram : 14.15 Lakh Ha. TOTAL : 109.00 Lakh Ha. Districts : 33 (89 Subdivisions) Talukas : 342 Villages : 35000 Soybean : Impact assesment

  14. In-situ Soil Moisture Conservation Award Scheme Activities Contour cultivation & sowing Adoption of inter cropping Opening of Dead furrows Opening of furrow in standing crops Broad ridges & furrows Close bed / compartment bunding (Increase in yield : 15 to 25%)

  15. Dr.Punjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Mahotsav 16th May to 4th June 2011 • Being implemented since 2008-09 • Focus on Project based Agriculture Extension • Programmes in 3606 projects & 7000 villages during campaign period. • Components :- • Presentations on technology • Mobile Agriculture Exhibitions (Agriculture Float). • Farmer to Farmer' extension • Live Demonstrations • Farmers/Scientists interventions
