4. Trends of Food grains Production *Drop in the area under food grains production in 2012-13 is on account of corresponding increase in the area under Guar cultivation.

5. ACHIEVEMENT OF FOODGRAINS PRODUCTION 2012-13 Area in 000 hects.Av. Yield in kgs/hect. Production in 000 tonnes.

6. MAJOR FOCUS AREAS • Timely Sowing of Wheat promoted – 80% sowing by 30th November. • Seed Replacement Rate increased to 55% in Rabi 2012-13 from 54% in Rabi 2011-12 and 34% in Rabi 2010-11. • 14.00 lac. qtl. Certified seed of Wheat distributed. • Emphasis laid on promotion of newly released (region specific) varieties. • PBW-550, HD-2894, DPW 621-50 & HD-2967 promoted particularly in North-eastern part. • HD-2851, PBW-590 & WH-1021 promoted under late sown conditions. Seed Treatment • 100% Treatment of Certified Seed of Wheat. Other Steps • Resource Conserving Technology through promotion of Mechanization and Micro Irrigation System and Soil Health Management is being promoted . • Monitoring & Management of Yellow Rust disease. • Promotion of relay sowing of Wheat in Cotton. • Promotion of IPM, INM & IWM. • DSR being promoted • Summer Moong being promoted.

7. UTILIZATION OF FUNDS 2012-13 NFSM (Rs. in Lakh) * Including interest accrued during 2012-13

8. RKVY Rs. in lac

9. SUB-SCHEMES OF RKVY 2012-13 (Rs. In Lakh)

10. COORDINATION AND EFFORTS WITH RELATED DEPARTMENTS • State Level Coordination Committee under the chairmanship of Chief Minister State Level Committee under the chairmanship of PS Agriculture for fertilizer arrangements. • State Level Sanctioning Committee under the chairmanship of Chief Secretary. • State Level Executive Committee on Food Security Mission under the chairmanship of Chief Secretary. • State Seed Production Committee under the Chairmanship of Principal Secretary Agriculture. • Inter Departmental Working Group under the Chairmanship of PS Agriculture. • Agriculture Officers Workshop with SAU before Kharif and Rabi season to finalize package of practices. • There was no shortage of seed, fertilizer, power, irrigation and credit facilities during 2012-13. • The online updating of data on NFSM website will be updated shortly whereas the reports and information of NFSM have been put on the departmental website i.e. www.agriharyana.nic.in

11. FUTURE STRATEGIES Targets of food grains (2013-14) Area in 000 hects.Av. Yield in kgs/hect. Production in 000 tonnes.

12. Contd… • 100% Treatment of Certified Seed of Wheat. • Reclamation of Water Logged & Saline Areas. • 2 lakh hectares to be brought underUnder Ground Pipe Line (UGPL)in next 5 years (25 crore). • 2 lakh hectares to be brought underMicro-Irrigationduring next 5 years (50 crore). • High-yielding & Yellow Rust-resistant varieties of Wheat to be promoted. • More area under hybrid rice planned to be covered. • Area under Summer Moong will be increased to 93,000 hectares. • Farm Mechanization to be promoted in a big way. • Green Manuring to be promotedto improve the soil health. • DSRin Rice will be promoted further.

13. FUTURE PROSPECTS Wheat The productivity of Wheat has reached its potential level & scope for further improvement is limited. However, department has taken some initiatives to further improve Wheat productivity. • Planting of Wheat at 18 cm spacing instead of 20 cm will be promoted vigorously. This system of planting may improve Wheat productivity by 5-10 %. • Varietal replacement will be another focus area to improve productivity. Efforts will be made to bring more area under HD-2967, HD-2894, DPW-621-50, WH-1105 & HD-2851. • New varieties like DBW-71, WH-1124, HD-3059 & HD-3043 will be introduced in the production programmefor the next year. • Relay sowing of wheat in cotton for improving Wheat productivity in Cotton belt. • Low productivity blocks/districts are being given special attention.

14. Contd... Rice • Direct Seeding have excellent potential & 50% Basmati area is targeted to be brought under this system by the end of 12th plan. • New Basmati variety PUSA-1509 will be promoted. • Cultivation of hybrid rice will be promoted to improve rice productivity (20 % area). • Targeted 55,000 hectares area to be shifted to Maize during Kharif 2014. Summer Moong • Good prospects of Summer Moongin Paddy areas as adequate irrigation facilities are available. • Plan to bring 1.00 lachectares area under this crop. Spring Maize • Good scope of spring Maize in areas vacated by potato crop. • Productivity of 50-60 quintals per hectare can be achieved. • An area of 20,000 hectares targeted during spring 2013-14.

15. Initiatives to improve Rice Production Direct Seeding of Rice (DSR) Saving of 20 – 25 % irrigation water Saving of labour & energy Advancement in crop sowing

19. PROMOTION OF FARM IMPLEMENTS • Happy Seeder - sowing of Wheat crop after harvesting of Paddy crop in standing stubbles. • Cost around Rs 100000/- • 500 Laser Land Levelers targeted to be distributed on subsidy in 2013-14. • Subsidy @Rs.50,000/- per machine. • Rotavators help in better decomposition of crop residue & saves fuel and labour.. • Subsidy @ 50% of the cost or Rs.30,000/- per machine. • 5,00 Straw Reapers will be distributed on subsidy. • Subsidy @Rs.40,000/- per machine.

20. BEST PRACTICESUnder Ground Pipe Line ISI Marked HDPE/PVC Pipes are laid at one meter depth. Subsidy @ 50% or maximum Rs. 60,000 per beneficiary.

21. LASER LAND LEVELER (Introduced in 2007-08) • Water Saving 15-20%. • Leads to uniform irrigation. • Reduces consumption of fertilizer and pesticides 18-20%. • Saving in Electricity and Diesel. • Desired slope can be maintained to drain out the excess water in heavy rainfall areas. • Increase in irrigated area/command area.
