8. Accelerated Pulses Production Programme (A3P) • Strategy :- Demonstration on 1000 ha. • No. of farmers in each block are grouped in the group of 10 farmers as a unit. • Trainings of group leaders and farmers were conducted with involvement of SAUs scientists. • Improved technology package was adopted as under on pre condition:- • i) In-situ moisture conservation activities • Contour cultivation, Dead furrow, BBF, • ii) Use of seed of improved varieties. • iii) Seed treatment with bio-fertilizer. • iv) Timely sowing • v) Planting distance, plant population & inter-cropping. • vi) Inter-culturing. • vii) INM, Foliar application of Urea. • viii) IPM • ix) Protective irrigation. • x) Innovative practices like Bidar technology, Drip & Sprinkler • irrigation on certain area. • 4) 1 block was selected for seed production of black gram.

9. Accelerated Pulses Production Programme (A3P) • 5. Printing of literature & Awareness. • i) Leaflets and Pamplets of package of practices have been prepared and distributed to all farmers involved. • ii) Booklet of technical information have been prepared and distributed. • Booklet of A3P programme have been prepared for group leaders and extension workers. • Jingles & footnotes of programme have been broadcasted on Radio & T.V. • 6) For awareness, krishidindies were arranged. • Input supply was made available before sowing and distributed publically. • Appointment of pest scout / pest monitor under cropsapprogramme for surveillance, monitoring of pest and diseases.

17. Review of status of distribution of Rice & Wheat Mini-kits

18. Review of status of distribution of Pulses Mini-kits under A3P

19. Area Production and Productivity during 2009-10 (IV Estimate) (Area in “00” ha, Production “00”M.T., Productivity in “kg/ha.”) Dry Spell 1) 29.06.10 to 19.07.10 (21 days) and 2) 07.09.10 to 29.09.10 (23 days)

20. Status of online submission of QPR at state/district levels

21. Issues for Discussion 1) Assistance for Purchase of Pump sets :- This is to be promoted only in those blocks which are not categorized under dark or brown zone. This criteria may be relaxed so that water storage structure (Farm Pond)in these blocks can be used for protective irrigation to the crops. 2) Training of farmers on FFS pattern:- These components are not allowed for newly added district. Please allow this for new districts.

22. Issues for Discussion 3) Pipes for Carrying Water :- In this component Pipes upto 800 meters/ ha are provided with subsidy Rs 15000/ 800 meter or 50 % of cost whiever is less. Farmers prefer HDPE pipe due to its durability and mobility. If farmers purchase HDPE pipes, subsidy about 20 % to 32 % is only paid. In order to make facility available to small farmer / marginal farmer the restriction of subsidy on meter length basis may be relaxed.

23. Position of submission of Success stories

24. Demonstrations on Biddar Technology in Latur district have been found very successful. In this Tur Seedlings are grown in polyethylene bags in the month of May. The Transplanting is done after one month at distance of 6 X 2 feet. Average yield without drip 32 qls/ ha., while with drip 40 to 45 qtl /ha. Area covered under drip 1200 ha. Success Stories

25. Convergence of Schemes • Farm Pond –Protective irrigation at critical stages under rain fed condition or moisture stress are found to be beneficial in increasing yield by 30 to 40% . • Excavation of farm ponds is done under RKVY & water lifting devices sprinkler, drips are supplied to these farmers under NFSM. This has helped to increase yield by 30 % and area by 1.5 to 2 times.
