  4. KHARIF ASSESSMENT Area, Production & Productivity Of Kharif Crops

  5. KHARIF ASSESSMENT Area, Production & Productivity Of Kharif Crops

  6. KHARIF ASSESSMENT • In 2010-11, by and large the situation is promising because – • Rainfall is not only normal but also evenly distributed. • No pest & disease outbreak. • Schematic support in time. • The Weather Watch Report reflecting more area coverage in Kharif Rice than targeted. • Other than Rice, the prospect of Jute & Sugarcane seems to be equally good.

  7. RABI, 2010-11 : PROSPECTS Timely rainfall in Kharif Season resulted in timely cropping of Kharif Crops. Thus, timely harvest of Kharif Crops will pave the way for timely sowing of Rabi seeds. A major advantage for utilisation of residual soil moisture in Rabi crops. A.Area Coverage :

  8. RABI PROSPECT : 2010-11 B.Productivity & Production :

  9. SEED Seed Replacement Rate (SRR)

  10. SEED Requirement & actual availability of Seeds Rabi Season

  11. SEED TESTING SEED TREATMENT

  12. MICRO IRRIGATION Area covered under Micro Irrigation

  13. FERTILISER Integrated Nutrient Management (INM)

  14. FERTILISER Quality Control • Action taken in respect of Non Standard Samples : • No. of registration certificate cancelled : 4 nos. • Show cause notice issued : 5 nos.

  15. ISSUES OF CONCERN • Net crop area irrigated : 18%. • Consumption of fertiliser : 63 Kg. per hectare against 129 Kg. per hectare. • Negligible usages of Micronutrients. • Availability of farm power : 0.66 HP per hectare against national average of 1.20 HP per hectare. • Marketing infrastructure (Villages connected with metalled Road) : 35%

  16. INTERVENTIONS THROUGH AACP (An EAP)

  17. NATIONAL FOOD SECURITY MISSION(Rice)

  18. NATIONAL FOOD SECURITY MISSION(Pulse) Accelerated Pulse Production Programme (A3P) Kharif, 2010-11 : • Pigeon Pea Demonstration (2 Units of 1000 hectare each) conducted in 3 districts with free distribution of inputs – cultivation in progress. Programme for Rabi, 2010-11 : • Lentil Demonstration (2 Units of 1000 hectare each) in 2 districts.

  19. RASHTRIYA KRISHI VIKAS YOJANA (RKVY) Major Interventions being undertaken during 2010-11

Utilisation of their service in progress.

  22. IMPACT OF RKVY & OTHER SCHEMES ON PRODUCTION & PRODUCTIVITY OF CROPS

  23. IMPACT OF SCHEMES Productivity Of Horticultural Crops

  24. BEST PRACTICES ADOPTED A. Technology Showcasing The Department of Agriculture and Assam Agricultural University is organizing demonstration programme on Winter Rice covering an area of 100 hectare per demonstration. The significance of this demonstration programmes are - This will be a compact area of 100 ha in a field strategically located and attached to National Highway only. All scientific package of practice are being adopted with farmers’ participation. Entire plot will be brought under Seed Certification. The same plot of land will be utilized for production of Rapeseed / Lentil in ensuing Rabi season after harvest of Winter Rice. Altogether 11 nos. of districts are covered under this programme.

  25. BEST PRACTICES ADOPTED B.Bhut Jalakia(Capsicum chinense) • A hottest Chilli variety of highest Scoville content i.e. 1.00 Lakh plus which is under Gunnies Book of World Record. • The crop is valued for production of wide range of products besides defence requirement and export demand. • It was never cultivated in an organized manner. • The State has take up cultivation in 700 ha involving large number of SHGs / Women SHGs and the product of first harvest has started arriving local markets.

  26. ISSUES FOR INTERVENTION BY GOI

  27. ISSUES FOR INTERVENTION BY GOI - Fertiliser • The rate of transportation of fertilizer by road from rake point to dealers Godown requires revision immediately because the present rate Of Rs.1.44 per ton per KM for the stage of Assam is causing huge loss in transportation. • The present policy of payment of uniform cost to the companies for transportation of fertilizers by railways should be changed and all companies be paid actual cost of transportation by railways. • The dealers margin should be improved to encourage propositioning of the stocks or alternatively the states should be allowed to fix differential rates for sale of fertilizers after adjudging the actual cost incurred by the dealers. • Sufficient railway rakes should be arranged to carry fertilizers to North Eastern Region on priority.
