Promoting YMV resistant varieties (LBG-752, PU-31, LBG-787)

Use of Gypsum & Micronutrients

Foliar nutrition of KNO3

Supply of water carrying pipes / Oil engines on subsidy

10 – 20%

4 Maize

Zero tillage practice in Rice Fallows 100%

Application of Micronutrients 30 – 40%

GAPS IN AGRICULTURE• Crop sequence & crop rotation

Continuous mono cropping Non remunerative crop sequenceNon adoption of intercropping for sustainable production

• Poor Soil Health ManagementDegradation of organic matterMicro nutrient deficiencyPoor Soil physical propertiesExistence of saline and alkaline soils

15

GAPS IN AGRICULTURE• Indiscriminate use of pesticides & Fertilizers

Top dressing of Phosphatic FertilizersImproper selection of pesticidesImproper pesticide dosages Timely applicationImbalanced use of NPKExcess use of urea

• Extension system:Man power resourcesDissemination of Technologies to the farmers

16

MAJOR STRATEGIES

A)Micro nutrients:

Massive Soil Health Campaign – Collected 420 soil samples

during 2015-16 through GPS.

Planning for distribution of Micronutrients to 3200 ha.

Already distributed 5 MTs of Zinc Sulphate and 2Qtls of Boron.

B) Village level Action Plan has been prepared for 11

villages to address the gaps in productivity.

17

Major Strategies for achieving double digit growth

C) Crop wise strategies for increasing productivity in each

crop by adopting good agricultural practices with emphasis

on reducing cost of cultivation.

Focus on reducing cost of cultivation by adopting methods

like: direct seeding in paddy (5580 ha), zero tillage in maize

(2148 ha.), pulses in rice fallows (2564 ha), etc.

18

Major Strategies

D) Organic Farming/ Natural

farming:

1. Popularizing use of different organic manures like vermi

compost, bio fungicides & bio pesticides like trichoderma

viridi, pseudomonas, neem oil.

2. Integration of NPM for quality produce in different crops

3. Using RMGs as platform for promoting organic farming.

19

Major Strategies

E) Extension:

• Improving Extension Reach by Polam Pilusthondi, Chandranna Rythu Kshetralu in different crops for increasing productivity.

• Focus on Organic Farming - Reduction in use of chemical fertilizers and reduction in use of unnecessary pesticides.

F) Farm Mechanization:

Promoting improved Farm

Mechanization to supply farm

implements on subsidy to reduce the

cost of farm operations.

CROP WISE INTERVENTIONS TO ACHIEVE DOUBLE DIGIT GROWTH

Major Production Gaps proposed for correction

which contribute for increase in growth

Technological Intervension Proposed to bridge the gap % of Area proposed to cover with

intervention (in ha.)

Lack of awareness on soil health

Creating awareness on soil health through soil testing and also on usage of micronutrients like Zinc and Gypsum. Yield increase by 15 to 20%

30-40%

Non application of organic manure and bio-fertilizers

Creating awareness on use of vermin compost, and growing of green manure crops and application of organic manures. Yield increase by 10-15%

25-30%

Application of phosphatic fertilizers as top dressing

Educating the farmers on basal application of Phosphatic fertilizers and creating awareness on negative effects of Topdressing, use of Phosphorus Solubilizing Bacteria (PSB). Cost reduction by 5-10%

25-30%

Seed treatment with bio fungicides is not practiced

Awareness on use of Bio fungicides like pseudomonas for seed treatment in Paddy.

Optimum plant population not followed

Encouraging Direct sowing with Seed Drills and Cost reduction by 20-25%

45-50%

Rodent damageTrainings, Mass Campaigns and supply of rodenticide on whole village approach

Paddy

Cont.….

Major Production Gaps proposed for correction

which contribute for increase in growth

Technological Intervension Proposed to bridge the gap % of Area proposed to cover with

intervention (in ha.)

High cost of cultivationPromoting direct sowing and Farm Mechanization from land preparation to harvesting, thereby reducing cost of cultivation by 30-40% and increasing the productivity by 5-10%

5-10%

Lack of Awareness on weed management

Trainings on weed management in paddy, which contributes 10% yield increase.

Existence of Saline and alkaline soils

Creating awareness on reclamation of these problematic soils through use of Gypsum, Vermi compost

Lack of awareness on disease resistance

Promoting basal application of “K” fertilizers and creating awareness on how K fertilizers increase disease resistance

Water shortage in tail end areas

Promoting direct seeding in paddy

Technological Intervension Proposed to bridge the gap % of Area proposed to cover with

intervention (in ha.)

Sowing of SeedAdopting Zero tillage practice in rice fallows reducing the cost of cultivation by 10-12%

100%

Non adoption of Seed treatment with Bio fertilisers

Seed treatment with PSB reduces the cost of cultivation by 10-15%. 25-30%

Create awareness on use of foliar application of liquid fertilisers. Reducing the cost by 15-20%

Improper water management practices.

Create awareness on integrated water management practices.

Improper control measures for control of stem borer

Taking control measures for stem borer by application of insecticides 10 days after sowing and 22 DAS. And IPM practices.

Micronutrient deficiencies like Zn, Fe.

Creating awareness on foliar spray of micronutrient fertilizers

Indiscriminate use of pesticides

Creating awareness on IPM practices

Poor resistance to pests and diseases.
