  5. 1.a. Water Conservation Management • Early release of 120 TMC of Godavari water to Krishna river through Pattiseema Project facilitated • increased productivity (15-20%) in Kharif paddy and additional area of 40,000 ha • Under rice fallow pulse/millets providing supplementary irrigation (40 TMC) to the crops under • NagarjunaSagar Project area of Krishna , Guntur & Prakasamresultedin increasingthe productivity • ofCotton, Chillies, Bengal gram, Redgram& other Horticulturecrops • Early release of Godavari water advanced the sowings of Kharif paddy avoiding cyclonic rains, early • Rabi paddy resulted in increase the area under summer pulses in Godavari districts Water Auditing & Balance • All water bodies of 4.77 lakh with storing capacity of 24,025 mcftare geotagged & monitored on • real time basis • Real time Rainfall Monitoring through automatic weather stations, Digital water level recorders with • Piezometers & Soil Moisture measurement through Soil moisture model on real time basis for water • budgeting

  6. b. Water Audit APWRIMS – Water Audit • Real-time Water Audit Dashboard: Administrative as well as Hydrology unit level • Supply (IoT Sensors): Rainfall distribution captured through 1800 AWS stations and IoT Sensors to capture major river inflows • Demand: Crop Water Requirement, Per-capita domestic and livestock demand, Industry demand

  7. c. Water Balance APWRIMS – Water Balance • Real-time Water Balance Dashboard: Drill down from State  District Mandal • Reservoir (IoT Sensors): Real-time Level & Storage. Periodic inflow & outflow • Ground Water (IoT Sensors): Real-time visibility in GW Levels, Quantity (TMC), Overdraft (TMC) • MI Tanks (Crowd Sourcing, Remote Sensing): Smart Phone APP & Satellite based. • Soil Moisture (Hydrology Model, IoT Sensors): Soil Moisture available at 30cm for Crops.

  8. 2. Crop Management

  9. 2.a. Soil Health Overview of Soil Health Card Analysis Soil Nutrient Status (N,P,K, Boron, Zinc, PH) Recommendation vs. Usage Big Data Soil Analysis Current Cropping Pattern Crop cutting experiments Additional cost incurred by farmer / government due to excessive usage Soil Health card data Impact on productivity due to under usage, wrong mix Current Fertilizer Consumption Impact on productivity due to problematic soils & micronutrients

  10. AP Soil Intelligence System (AP-SIS) AP launching an ambitious Soil Intelligence System to improve micronutrient targeting & develop adapted fertilizers in the medium term SIS Stage 1. Launch ‘Smart’ Subsidy for Micro-nutrients Starting Kharif 2018, AP-SIS will be used to understand the crop-response to micro-nutrients by unfolding the effect of different variables such as crop production practices, environmental factors, and other soil nutrients This will result in a move towards a ‘crop response’ rather than a ‘nutrient deficiency’ based approach for targeting, not only through the state’s distribution system but also along with the private sector AP – Soil Intelligence System Combines rapid, highly accurate, and cost-effective spectral laboratory methods for analyzing soil and plant samples and remote sensing to predict soil properties in time and space Stage 0. Enhance soil testing infrastructure, analytics and capacity The state will invest in building capacity to set up and run a spectral lab A cross functional team from APSAC, ANGRAU and Department of Agriculture, AP with technical and (part) financial support from BMGF will be created A first-of-its-kind soil intelligence dashboard will be launched Stage 2. Engage with the industry for Customized fertilizer formulation During Rabi and Kharif 2018-19, the AP-SIS team will share the findings of the crop response trials and other data generated with the fertilizer industry The objective of the engagement will be to promote development of customized/adapted fertilizer 10

  11. Soil Nutrient Status – Major Nutrients Distribution of Major Nutrients NP Low NK Low

  12. Fertilizer Recommendation Vs. Usage GVA Enhancement by following SHC Rs.1,288 Cr Additional Cost incurred by Farmers Rs.163 Cr Cost Savings to GoI Rs.147 Cr

  13. Soil Nutrient Status – Micro Nutrients Distribution of Micro Nutrients

  14. Soil Nutrient Status – Micro Nutrients ZINC GVA Enhancement by Zinc Correction Rs. 519 Cr BORON GVA Enhancement by Boron Correction Rs. 92 Cr • Micro Nutrients are supplied to the farmers on 100% subsidy with a estimated cost of • Rs.90 Cr per year • Micro Nutrient deficiency rectification is on saturation mode

  15. 2.b. Agro climatic crop zone analysis

  16. Need for Agro climatic crop zone analysis Paddy across state Ground water levels in AP • Current crop distribution is based on traditional practices. Any shift is based on current year price trend. • Paddy is preferred crop even under limited water resources resulting in low net returns • More than 25% of Paddy fields during Rabi are kept fallow • Horticulture and Vegetables that are more remunerative – need to focus more • Need to promote Conjunctive use of Ground water with rainfall • Groundnut is grown in the areas of Rainfall below 300 mm in Rayalaseemadistricts Rainfall in Andhra Pradesh Groundnut across state

  17. Agro-Climatic Crop Zone Analysis Agro Climatic Crop Zone Analysis & GVA Optimization Possible Cropping Patterns Crop Patterns for each Mandal for different water sources, Rainfed Crop Water Requirement Crop GVA/ha Increase Land under Cultivation Soil Type Rainfall, Temp, Humidity Rainfall Pattern Increase Intensity Dry Spells Morning Dew Optimize Crop Pattern for Maximizing GVA Water Source (GW, Canal, MI Tank, Rainfed) Demand/Market Access Accounting for Market demand Historical Cropping Pattern Crop Cutting Experiment Data

  18. Land Utilization (2016-17) Out of 80 L ha of cultivable area, 60.7 L ha (75 %)is cultivated We can bring additional 11.8 L ha under cultivation by following right Agro-Climatic practices and efficient water management Additional 10 L ha can be brought under cultivation over the next five years

  19. Crop Distribution Agro Climatic Crop Zone Planning 2016-17 Increase of Horti Area from 15% to 21%

  20. Efficient utilization of Land & Water When compared to the 2016 - 2017 values, the land & water required for achieving 1 Cr. of GVA has reduced due to Agro climatic crop zone analysis • There is a considerable reduction of Paddy from 21 L ha to 17 L ha • The important crops like Ground Nut, Maize, Cotton areas have been retained only to the regions of suitable Agro Climatic factors • Around 1L ha is allotted for Fodder Jowar and Navadhanyalu is recommended in the areas where there is very low Rainfall

  21. Cropping Intensity comparison 2015-16, 2016-17 & Optimal Cropping patterns • The cropping intensity will increased from 15% to 29% • In West Godavari, due to the diversion to Aquaculture, there is a reduction in cropping Intensity • The increase in cropping intensity will resulted in increased per ha GVA • There is considerable decreased of current fallows under optimal cropping patterns

  22. Results of the Analysis – Overall Impact • Agricultural area will increase from 59.18 L ha to 62.20 L ha (5% increase) • Horticulture area will increase from 14.89 L ha to 18.95 L ha (27% increase) • Agriculture GVA will increase from Rs. 31,515 Cr to Rs. 36,113 Cr (14.5% increase) • Horticulture GVA will increase from Rs. 34,279 Cr to 48,179 Cr (40.5% increase) • The GVA will increase in Agriculture is 15%, in Horticulture 41% and overall 31%

  23. 2.c. Best Management Practices North coastal & Rayalaseema districts: GuliRagiMethod of cultivation under rainfedconditions, young seedlings planted 1x1.5 ft distance 16 to 20 Qtl/acre yield increases, when compare to 4 to 6 Qtl/acre in conventional method East, West Godavari & Nellore districts: Integrated Farming - cultivation of Paddy + Pulses +Fruits + Veg + Piscicultureround the year for higher returns per unit area Net additional returns:Rs.50,000/- per acre. Redgram sown on Paddy field bunds in 13 districts of AP – additional income of Rs.7000 to 10,000/- per Acre Redgram cultivated through drip irrigation in Kadapa, yields increases 3 folds i.e., 21 Qtls/Acre, where as in normal methods 7 Qtls/acre 23

  24.
