FERTILIZER In terms of NPK (MT) for Kharif 2011N-2676 P-2453 K-1541Actual Distribution of fertilizers during Kharif 2010N-2371 P-1530 K-1221 FERTILIZER QUALITY CONTROL DURING 2010-11 Samples drawn by Fertilizer Inspector are sent for analysis to Central Fertilizer Quality Control Laboratory, Navi Mumbai. During the year 2010-11, 46 samples were sent for analysis.
QUALITY CONTROL OF MICRONUTRIENT FERTILIZERS • The State has only one Micronutrient Fertilizer manufacturing unit, which is marketing its product outside the State. Zinc, Magnesium and Boron have been identified as deficient in Goan soils and have been recommended to be used in straight micronutrient fertilizer form. • Use of Organic Manure is being promoted through supply of compost to farmers towards soil health improvement. • Preparation of on farm compost/vermicompost is encouraged through incentives given for infrastructure set up for compost units.
INTEGRATED NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT (INM) • Regular soil samples are collected and analyzed for macro and micro nutrient deficiency. • soil health cards are issued to the farmers by recommending appropriate fertilizer dose. • The State has 2 STL with a capacity to analyse 25,000 soil samples every year. • During the year 2010-11 17609 samples were analyzed for nutrient and health cards issued.
NATIONAL HORTICULTURE MISSION (NHM)
NATIONAL MISSION ON MICRO IRRIGATION (NMMI) IN GOA STATE Directorate of Agriculture Government of Goa Krishi Bhavan, Tonca, Caranzalem Goa Phone Nos. (0832) 2465840, 2465443, 2465845 Fax No. (0832) 2465441 E-Mail – dir-agri.goa@nic.in
Physical Achievement for the year 2006 – 07 onwards under MIS in Xth Plan & under NMMI since June 2010 under XIth Plan
Releases funds utilized and balance available under MIS from 2006-07 to 2009-10 & under NMMI since June 2010 * Unreconciled/anticipated figures
Releases of Micro Irrigation Scheme (MIS) under Transfer of Technology
Physical & Financial Target/Achievements from 2006-07 to 2009-10
Physical & Financial Target/Achievements from 2006-07 to 2009-10
The awareness of Micro Irrigation Scheme (MIS) can be seen as over the period of time, the area has increased. It is expected that there will be significant increase in area in the next couple of years IMPACT OF MICRO IRRIGATION SYSTEM ON CROP PRODUCTIVITY
PERCENTAGE OF DIVERSIFICATION OF CROPS There is no significant diversification as Micro Irrigation Scheme (MIS) programme is mainly implemented in intercrop cultivation such as Arecanut, Coconut, with Banana and Spices
CHANGES IN PATTERN OF CROP PRODUCTION Not much of changes have been noticed
AREA COVERAGE UNDER HIGH VALUE CROP The area coverage under high value crop is minimum.
The crop intensity is same and the farmers are going for Micro Irrigation in their horticultural crops only. However, during 2009-10, Drip Irrigation is promoted in sugarcane crop in an area of 2.53 Hectares and area coverage under sugarcane drip during 2010-11 is 10.71 ha INCREASE IN PERCENTAGE OF CROP INTENSITY
INCREASE IN NET IRRIGATED AREA There is no significant increase in the net irrigated area.
PERCENTAGE OF INCREASE IN FARMER’S INCOME Percentage of increase in the farmers’ income has risen by 15 – 20%
Low subsidy was provided in the initial year, it was not beneficial and this gave wrong message to the farmers in general • The area coverage in Goa being small, Drip irrigation companies are not keen to work in Goa and installation prolongs for months due to which farmers lose interest in the system. However, due to provision of 90% subsidy on drip (additional 40% under State Sector) and provision of subsidy at source, there is rising trend under the drip component. Bottlenecks
Micro Irrigation in form of Micro Sprinklers/Jets as reported to be more beneficial in Goa instead of Drip Irrigation due to lighter soil and limited horizontal movement of water. Bottlenecks
MARKETING Registrar of Cooperative Societies /Department of Cooperation is involved in the matter of Agriculture Marketing of notified Agricultural commodities through Agriculture Marketing Board Margao and seven other market sub yards with infrastructural facilities at important Taluka head quarters.
So far 21 agriculture commodities comprising of Coconut, Cashew nut, Betelnut, Banana, Milk etc. have been notified by the Government for regulation in Goa and trading in these commodities is regulated by issuing licences to the traders/Market functionaries.
The Goa Agricultural Produce Marketing (Development and Regulation) Act 2007 has been framed based on the model Act prescribed by GOI which incorporates reforms allowing direct marketing ,Contract Farming and establishing private Mandis/Markets etc.On approval of the proposed rules, the act will be implemented
Best practices adopted by the State • In order to increase the replacement rate of seed like paddy, groundnut, pulses and vegetables, the State Government provides 50% assistance at source through the network of Cooperative Societies (PPP Mode). • The creation of infrastructure for irrigation is boosted by providing additional assistance to bring the total subsidy to atleast 75% for construction of new wells, establishing sprinklers, drip irrigation and pumpsets.
Best practices adopted by the State Cont… • Fencing to protect cropped area with assistance of 50% for protection against stray/wild animals, including for solar power fencing which is at 90% subsidy.
