AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT, GUJARAT
Resources for Agriculture Development
Group- 3 : Strategies for Resource Management for Better Input Use Efficiency
To sustain the agriculture scenario, there is need to integration & strategic use of sources viz,
Soil & Land
Water
Energy & Farm power
Agriculture Infrastructure
Agro advisory network
Credit & Insurance
Human Resources
Soil & Land : Status
Land use classification
Forest10%
Waste & uncul-
tivable land14%
Permanent pasture
land5%
Other10%
Net crop area52%
Cultivable waste land11%
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
Soil & Land : Nutrient status & Issues
Higher N2 consuming crops like Cotton, Castor, Maize, Jowar
Low C:N ratio
Low use of organic manures
Low fertilizer use efficiency
Issues & Causes
Nitrogen deficiency in Soil
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

WATER RESOURCES
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
Water: Present work & Vision
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
Present work Vision & Strategies
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
Energy & Farm Power
Less adoption of hi-tech equipment Less mechanization adoption among small
and marginal farmers Budget for farm mechanization
ENERGY FARM MECHANIZATION
Issues
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
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
Group- 3 : Strategies for Resource Management for Better Input Use Efficiency
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.
Agro Service Provider for farm machinery at cluster level.
Bringing more area under mechanized cultivation
resulting into the high crop production.
Promote to farm mechanization in sugarcane area where
in more men days required
The applications of tractors / rotavators are received
online - ensuring transparency.
Farm machinery mega exhibition support

alternate year
Group- 3 : Strategies for Resource Management for Better Input Use Efficiency
Traditional farming techniques in
practices
Huge yield gaps exists between
experimental yields & at farm level
Gaps in implementing integrated
farming approach
Key Challenges & Constraints
Agro Advisory & Human Resources
Interdisciplinary approach to Knowledge production
Need based research
2000 young professionals per year through 33
colleges to strengthen of technical wing
24 Poly techniques with 884 Intake capacity for
spreading the knowledge at field level
Agriculture Training Institutions for grooming the
local peoples with latest agriculture techniques
Periodical training for progressive farmers,
leader of FIGs.
Infrastructure Facilities
Group- 3 : Strategies for Resource Management for Better Input Use Efficiency
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
Technology Generation for Sustainability
technological progress in agriculture needs to become more pluralistic and knowledge intensive for better resource management
Cover the entire food chain (farm to table);
Greater attention to efficiency of input use ;
Use all tools (traditional breeding and bio-technology, agro-ecological approaches, IT);
Become much more client driven; and
Strengthen public and private partnerships and private investments.
