Yellow rust reduced the productivity of wheat during 2008-09

Better monitoring led to early detection of incidence

Timely supply of fungicide to Control of yellow rust at 50% cost

Damage restricted to kandi area and that to district Ropar only.

Surveillance also helped in checking the micro-nutrient deficiencies. Zinc Sulphate and Manganese Sulphate distributed on 50% subsidy

Effective control followed by good weather contributed to record production.

INTER DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATIONINTER DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION

Excellent coordination with:

Department of Fertilizers, GoI and State handling agencies (Markfed, PAIC)

for pre-positioning and distribution of fertilizers (Minister of State for

Chemicals and Fertilizers Sh. S.K. Jena, while speaking in the parliament on

12-03-2010, appreciated Punjab for its good fertilizers management.)

Department of Irrigation, power as well as BBMB. A Committee has been

constituted under Principal Secretary, Agriculture for effective

coordination, monitoring the availability and utilization of canal water and

power for Agriculture purposes. During drought like situation in kharif

2009, the State achieved record production of paddy.

State Level Banker’s Committee and financial institutions. Scales of

finance for different crops revised regularly.

FUTURE PROSPECTS FOR FOOD GRAIN PRODUCTIONFUTURE PROSPECTS FOR FOOD GRAIN PRODUCTION

Our Mission: Sustainably increase the production of foodgrains Strategic Initiatives :

Replacement of varieties of wheat (PBW-621, HD-2967) and rice (improved PAU-201)

Area Expansion under Summer Moong

Improvement in SRR and 100% Seed Treatment Reclamation of Soil

Propagation of Resource Conservation Technologies for NRM

Bridging the regional gaps in productivity

Partnerships: More emphasis on PPP

Better coordination with DAC, SAU and other institutions.

Enhance delivery: Capacity building of field functionaries and farmers

Ensuring timely and adequate availability of inputs.

Promotion of INM and IPM
