  12. Sowing progress of Pulses

  13. CROP CONDITION

  14. Delayed withdrawal-widespread rains in deficient areas • Adequate recharge of soil profile • Better area prospects- early sowing in rainfed regions- Bundelkhand (U.P. & M.P.) Raj, MH, Kar, Guj, Haryana SEPTEMBER RAINS- CRUCIAL IMPETUS FOR RABI

  15. Available Soil moisture August, 2012 September 1-15 2012

  16. WATER IN RESERVOIRS

  17. 5 KEY STRATEGIES

  18. SITE SPECIFIC AGRONOMY

  19. Quality seeds: Availability (Lakh Qtl)

  20. Catalyze Seed VigoUrNUTRIENT & WATER MANAGEMENT • Site Specific Nutrient Management : Soil testing labs and soil health cards and fertilizer use based on fertility maps • Focus on increasing nutrient use efficiency

  21. Targeting Early sowing

  22. Dense sowing in North-West • Seed and soil treatment-yellow rust and Karnal bunt • Yellow rust resistance, heat stress tolerance • Sprinkler irrigation-heat stress management • Pre-positioning of seed of improved varieties • Focus in Central/Eastern India PRODUCTIVITY ENHANCEMENT : Wheat • Cultivation of PBW 550, DBW 17 and DBW 16 in yellow rust prone areas • Terminal heat resistant varieties Haryana : WH 1021, PBW 590, PBW 373, DBW 16, Raj 3765 Punjab : PDW 291, PDW 274, PDW 233 • Diversified varietal profile

  23. Timely sowing of Boro Rice nursery (November 15 – December 15) Protecting nursery from cold wave/ low temperature (using plastic covers) Protecting transplanted crop from low temperatures during January by application of irrigation Covering maximum area under hybrid rice varieties : PHB 71, KRH 2, CNRH 3, JKRH 401, DRRH 2 Adoption of best management practices : INM, IPM, IWM Ensuring adequate water availability for irrigation Productivity Enhancement : Boro Rice

  24. PRODUCTIVITY ENHANCEMENT: Rabi sorghum/maize • Rabi Sorghum • Target States: Maharastraand Karnataka • Use of recommended varieties/hybrids for specific ecology • Seed Treatment through fungicides as per recommendation • Protective irrigation at flag leaf and grain filling stages  • Foliar application of zinc sulphate @ 0.2 % and ferrous sulphate @ 0.15 % alternatively at 7-10 days interval from 15-20 DAS up to 45 DAS • Maintain optimum plant population for Rabi(13-15 plants/m2) • Rabi Maize • Target States: Bihar, A.P., Maharashtra, Karnataka • Use of recommended varieties/hybrids for specific ecology • Protective irrigation at flag leaf and grain filling stages  • Maintain optimum plant population Rabi(10-12 plants/m2)

  25. STRATEGY FOR PULSES PRODUCTION • Early sowing • Bundelkhand, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Gujarat, A. P-about 10 lakh ha • Seed Treatment- Massive campaign for farm saved seed- M.P., U.P., Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Gujarat • Area expansion during rabi (20 lakh ha) • Intercropping with R&M, Linseed, barley,sugarcane (3 lakh ha) • Additional area in Raj, Maha, Guj under gram (10 lakh ha) • Lentil and Low ODAP Lathyrus in rice fallows • Summer mung after wheat in IGP- 5 lakh ha • IPM- Helicoverpa, dry root rot and wilt (Surveillance and control) • Yield boosters - 2% urea and DAP spray • Weed Management • Pre-emergence application–Pendimethalin (within 5-6 hrs of sowing) • Post emergence-Imazethapyr (50-100 g/ha at 20-25 DAS with flat pan nozzle.

  26. EFFICIENT RABI/SUMMER INTERCROPS Rabi Season Chickpea+ Mustard/Linseed 6:2 Lentil+ Linseed 2:1 Potato+ Rajmash 3:2 Summer Season Sugarcane + Urd/Mung 1:2 Sunflower+ Urd/Mung 2:6

  27. Productivity Enhancement: Gram • Pre-emergence application of pendimethalin @1.5 kg/ha within 5-6 hrs of sowing • Planting on ridge & furrows • Seed treatment with Trichoderma @4 g/kg of seed • Intercropping of chickpea and mustard (6:2 row ratio) • Protective irrigations at branching and pod initiation stage • 2% urea/DAP spray at 50% flowering and 10 days thereafter

  28. HIGH YIELDING VARIETIES OF CHICKPEA Short duration (100-110 days): JG 11, JG 16, JG 14, Pant G 186, Pusa 547 Wilt resistant: DCP 92-3, GNG 1581, Vijay, Vishal, KWR 108, Digvijay, JAKI 9218, Pusa 391, JG 130, Pusa 372, Udai, SCS 3, Ankur, Abhilasha, GJG 3 For irrigated areas: DCP 92-3, GNG 469, KWR 108 Kabuli Varieties: BGD 128, ICPK-2004-29, PKV Kabuli 4 (extra bold) (Kg/ha) Yield gain: 15- 27% 28

  29. Productivity Enhancement: Lentil • Promotion of lentil in rice fallows-eastern States -Tal/diera area of Bihar, eastern UP • Improved varieties -seed availability and distribution to the farmers (DPL 62, DPL 15, JL 3, Pant L 63, Subrata, Narendra M 1 ) • Seed treatment with fungicides/ Trichoderma 4 g/kg of • 2% urea or DAP at flowering and 10 days thereafter • Intercropping with linseed in bundelkhand

  30. OPPORTUNITIES FOR SUMMER MOONG Samrat Meha

  31. Early sowing-Taramira & R&M in Rajasthan and Aligarh and Agra Divisions of U.P, South Haryana, Safflower & Sunflower in Maharashtra, Sunflower in Karnataka, Groundnut in Saurashtra and Rayalseema • Seed Treatment-Massive campaign for farm saved seed of groundnut and other oilseeds • Diseases/Pest Management –bud necrosis/ Alternaria, sucking pests • Yield boosters – Micronutrients (Zinc sulphate) and sulphur (20 kg/ha) Productivity Enhancement :oilseeds

  32. PRODUCTIVITY ENHANCEMENT: OILSEEDS • Rapeseed - Mustard • Use quality seeds of suitable varieties • Seed treatment with fungicides • Timely sowing taking advantage of extended monsoon • Maintain optimum plant population (33-40 plants/m2) • Apply irrigation at critical stages of the crop • Use recommended dose of fertilizers & micro-nutrients and adopt need based plant protection measures • Sunflower • Intercropping of sunflower with pulses • Seed treatment with imidacloprid @ 5g/kg seed to protect against sunflower necrosis disease • Timely sowing to utilize the available moisture • Maintain optimum plant population 22 plants/m2 • Balanced and adequate fertilization- N, P, K, S and Zn • Spray borax @ 0.2% spray or 2kg borax as dust at ray floret opening stage

  33. Delayed onset-subdued activity-gradual recovery of SW monsoon- major grainery got adequate rains • Marginally less area coverage in Kharif than normal • Maximum affected - Coarse cereals (bajra, sorghum and Ragi) followed by pulses • Extended rains -adequate moisture in soil capillaries and in reservoirs-brightened prospects of early sowing of pulses/oilseeds • Higher area & productivity targeted under pulses -likely to compensate the loss of kharif.
