30. Major inputs required for Agriculture Production:-(1)Seed: HYV, Improved variety (2) Fertilizer: Including organic fertilizer (3) Pesticide: Includes bio pesticides, weedicides (4) Irrigation Facilities: Includes Drip & SprinklersTo fulfill the basic input needs, required sufficient credit support to farmers at proper time with reasonable interest rate and easy availability.

31. SEED SUPPLY – XI Plan • Projection for targeted distribution is based on • 25 % SRR for self pollinated crops, except Groundnut • 35 % SRR for cross pollinated crops • 100 % for Hybrid crops

32. SEED - SRR To fulfill the SRR target, State Govt has the scheme to provide financial assistance on additional Certified seed production with provision of 20.00 Crores in State Budget

33. Projection for fertilizer Ratio to be achieved through: Soil health card program, Awareness on Balanced use of fertilizer & promotion of Organic components.

34. Input Management • 100% Seed treatment & Distribution of seed dressing • drums • Promotion of IPM & awareness for proper pesticide application technique • Promotion of Botanical pesticides & Biological pest control • Use of Biocides and agent will be popularized. • Strengthening of pest surveillance & forecasting system. • Strengthening of infrastructure development of biological control agents. • Promotion of Vermi-compost, Bio fertilizers, Organic farming & certification • Strengthening of Quality control laboratories

35. Farm mechanization • Financial assistance through CSS, State plan scheme • Micro irrigation (3.00 lakh ha in next 3 years) – GGRC • Training through FTC, KVK • Investment in processing sector – Global Investor summit • On farm value addition

36. Planning for development of Arid /Semiarid areas • Management of soil • Moisture conservation • Ground water recharging • Efficient use of irrigation water • Micro Irrigation • Balanced use of Fertilizers • Selection of the crop and varieties • Agricultural practices • Plant protection • Sustainable agriculture practices
