  1. ADOPTION OF IMPROVED TECHNOLOGY FOR EFFICIENT USE OF WATER , NUTRIENTS AND PLANT PROTECTION CHEMICALS National Conference on Agriculture for Kharif Campaign-2014 GROUP –II Dr. D.G. Bakwad Director Hoticulture

  2. Efficient use of water • Micro Irrigation – Drip & Sprinkler. • In situ soil & moisture conservation. • BBF. • Farm ponds for protective irrigation • for field crops. • Mulching.

  3. micro irrigation status in maharashtra

  4. E-Thibak Software for Micro Irrigation • Complete Online process • Year of starting - 2012-13 • Data Entry 2012-13 • Online coverage under NMMI - 206756 • Online coverage under VIIDP - 96569 Subsidy disbursement Pre -sanction Subsidy recommendation Bill invoice entry Application Submission

  5. Sugarcane Status in Maharashtra • Area under sugarcane – 10 lakh Ha. • Coverage under micro irrigation – 2 lakh Ha. • Potential for micro irrigation – 8 lakh Ha. • Funds required (Rs. ) – 4000 Cr. • Present productivity level – 81 MT/ha. • Expected productivity with MI – 100 MT/Ha.

  6. Feed Back • Inadequate funds. • Subsidy rates – SC/ST 75%. • Project approach • Subsidy to Non ISI (Low wall • Thickness) – 50%

  7. Efficient Use of Nutrients • Quality production of Bio-fertilizers at each district level for easy and timely availability • Efficient use of Liquid fertilizer and micro-nutrients through drip and foliar spray • Large scale production of quality organic manure and compost for improve soil fertility • Promotion of organic farming in cluster base for agriculture crops

  8. Efficient Use of Plant Protection Chemicals • CropSap – Scientific Pest Surveillance and Advisory System • Use of Disease & pest forecast Precautionary Measures (AWS) • Integrated Pest Management – Adoption of Good Agriculture Practices ( GAP) • Mechanization in spraying techniques- use of STP Pumps , Electrostatic pump • Support for use of Botanical pesticides • Creating on line facility for large scale awareness on Pesticides residue monitoring ie total traceability ( Farm to Fork)

  9. Crop Pest Surveillance and Advisory Project (CROPSAP) e-Governance Gold Award winner Project

  10. Area of operation: 2013-14 • Institutional arrangement • Pest Scouts :- 835 at village level • (Agril. Diploma Holder) Having Jurisdiction of 12000 Ha. • Pest Monitors :- 84 at SDAO jurisdiction • (Agril. Graduate) For Supervision of 10 Scout • Data Entry Operator :- 84 at SDAO jurisdiction • Research Associate :- 20 at Institute level • (Post. Graduate) For data analysis MULTI STAKE HOLDERS Talukas:348 Districts:33 Area Coverage

  11. Area coverage & cost effectiveness • 32 % increase in area coverage since inception (77% of Kharif area and 94 % of Rabi Pulses Area) • Cost per hectare of project is less than Rs. 10/ha • Cost of project per Quintal of Production is less than Rs.1/Qtl.

  12. Project Impact • 2013-14 • Farmer participation for SMS increased by 2.39 times • Total no. of farmers covered 84.64 Lakh

  13. Project impact • Increased awareness about pest surveillance and management among farmers and field functionaries • Real time, location specific advisories helped to avoid indiscriminate use of pesticides • Pest Population maintained below ETL • Bio-intensive pest management helped to reduce cost of cultivation • No outbreak of any major pests on crops under project since inception of the project • No assistance was required to be paid to farmers towards losses due to pest problems
