  5. Maharashtra – Status - SRR • In self pollinated category SRR achieved for Paddy - 42 (Target 25) Urid - 43 Mung - 58 Soyabean - 58 Wheat - 52 • In cross-pollinated category SRR achieved for Bajra - 75 (Target 35) Moong - 75 Seasamum - 42 Sunflower - 42 • Fertilizer consumption has gone up from 74.1 kg/ha 1997-98 to 127 kg/ha in 2008-09 but the state found availability of fertilizers a major issue in some areas like Marathwada and Vidarbha

  6. Maharashtra - Issues • RCF should give gypsum for Maharashtra • JNPT and BPT Ports close to Mumbai should develop facilities for import of fertilizers • As the most of fertilizers are imported and has to be transported in time bound manner, night loading facilities should be immediately established at all places for example Nanded, Parbhani. • As the availability of fertilizer has fallen short during October to February, 2009 against the allocation, building of buffer stocks has not progressed at satisfactory level • Fertilizers should be provided as per ECA allocation contd…..
