  1. CROP SCHEMES Presented by: Shri. Sudhakar Raju, DDA O/o. C & DA, AP, Guntur

  2. Initiatives to be focused during 2019-20

  3. Interventions/Crop Diversification to increase the income of farmers & Cropping Intensity: • Promotion of direct seeding in Paddy crop to reduce the crop period, High yields. • Promotion of Intercropping of various crops to avoid total crop failures due to vagaries of monsoon. Intercropping ratios: • Cowpea/ Blackgram/ Greengram + Redgram in (7:1) • Cotton + Redgram in (1:1) • Groundnut + Redgram in (7:1) • Jowar/Bajra + Redgram in (2:1) • Discouraging cultivation of cotton in low productive light soils and promotion of Millets/Oilseeds/Pulses.

  4. Contd... • Cultivation of Coriander/ Mustard crop for grain purpose is to be promoted in Black Soils. • Cultivation of Safflower crop is to be promoted in Red Soils of Prakasam district. • Cultivation Border/Trap crops as IPM Strategies for Management of Pests & Stray animals: a) Safflower as border crop against stray animals, b) Jowar as border crop in cotton to reduce the spread of sucking pest complex (Jowar utilised for fodder for milch animals), c) Castor as Trap crop in Groundnut. d) Marigold as Trap crop in Pigeon pea & Bengal gram. • Pulses such as Blackgram & Greengram to be taken as intercrop with sugarcane crop.

  5. Contd... • Pulses such as Redgram, Blackgram, Greengram, Horsegram to be taken as intercrop in below 5 years old plantations of Coconut, Oilpalm, Cashew, Mango and other Orchard crops. • Korra- Bengal gram cropping system is to be stabilised in Prakasam & Rayalaseema districts. Awareness may be created among the farming community about the processing facilities for Korra crop. GOI has provided assistance for establishment of millet processing units in all KVKs. Millet Processing Units will be supplied to the farmers on subsidy under NFSM- Nutricereals during 2019-20. • In North Coastal & Rayalaseema districts Horsegram cultivation is to be promoted during Rabi season.

  6. Contd... • GOI & GoAP is very keen in promotion of millets consumption to achieve nutritional security and Jowar, Bajra, Ragi, Korra, Sama, Variga, Ooda etc are categorised into Nutricereals. So the area under Nutri-cereals is to be increased. • Seed production of Minor Millets & Ragi is also to be promoted: Breeder seed/Foundation seed is available with RARS, Nandyal & ARS, Vizianagaram. Financial Assistance of Rs.3000 per Quintal of Seed produced from NFSM-Nutricereals (less than 10 years old variety is to be selected for seed production). • Promotion of Sesame during late Rabi/ Summer season. Subsidies will be provided in 2019-2020.
