  1. Incentivizing Production and Procurement of Oilseeds & Pulses On 24th & 25th September, 2012 at National Agriculture Science Center PUSA Complex, ICAR, New Delhi Department of Agriculture Govt. of West Bengal

  2. Introduction…… • Replacement of poor yielding typical 20% upland Kharif area(58600 ha) by high value and high productive crops viz. Maize, Pulse, Oil Seeds through distribution of Seed Kit. • Out of 58600 ha rice area curtailed in rainfed upland, 45,179 ha has been planned to bring under Pulses & Oilseed through distribution of Seed kit.

  3. Area-Production-Productivity of Pulsesduring 2009-10 to 2011-12 Area: in ‘000 ha, Production: in ‘000 tonnes, Productivity: Kg/ ha

  4. Area-Production-Productivity of Oilseedsduring 2009-10 to 2011-12 Area: in ‘000 ha, Production: in ‘000 tonnes, Productivity: Kg/ ha

  5. Strategy for increasing area & production of Pulses & Oilseeds • Utilization of Rice fallow for cultivation of Pulses & Oilseeds. • Cultivation of Pulses & Oilseeds through Poira cropping as an intermediate crop in Rice-Rice cropping system. • As sole crop in irrigated system. Contd….

  6. Strategy for increasing area & production of Pulses & Oilseeds • Inter cropping in newly planted orchard. • Exploring the saline belt of the State (like Sundarbon) through cultivation of salt tolerant crop like Sunflower. • Efficient technology transfer for increasing production as well as productivity. Contd….

  7. Strategy for increasing area & production of Pulses & Oilseeds • Mixed cropping with Wheat, Sugarcane, Potato. • Replacement of old varieties by newly released varieties. • Application of INM for productivity enhancement as well as conservation of soil health.
