  1. PRODUCTION OF FOODGRAINS IN 2010-11 A RECORD HARVEST IN PUNJAB DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE GOVERNMENT OF PUNJAB

  2. ABOUT PUNJAB: Area (geographical) : 5.04 m ha Net sown area: 4.2 m ha Irrigated area: 4.04 m ha(96%) Canals : 1.10 m ha (27%) Tubewells : 2.92 m ha (73%) through 1.3 million tubewells Total cropped area: 7.9 m ha Cropping intensity: 189% Cropping Systems : Rice-Wheat; Cotton-Wheat; and Maize-Wheat

  3. FOUR DECADES OF FOODGRAIN PRODUCTION 27890 27328 26818 25313 25324 26949 25215 19883 19223 11921 7305 6523 6282 6301 6458 6500 6326 5673 5726 6300 4853 3927

  4. TOTAL PRODUCTION OF FOOD GRAINS • Highest ever food-grain production during 2010-11 • Food-grains production about 11-12% of the country • Highest ever procurement during 2010-11

  5. WHEAT: RESULTS OF CROP CUTTING EXPERIMENTS RABI 2010-11

  6. PRODUCTION AND PROCUREMENT OF WHEAT • Highest Ever Production: 164.75 LMT, Previous : 159.10 LMT in 1999-2000 • Highest Contribution to Central Pool: 110.2 LMT, Previous : 107.2 LMT in 2008-09

  7. UTILIZATION OF FUNDS UNDER DIFFERENT SCHEMES 2007-08 to 2010-11 (Lac Rs.) Utilization of funds during 2007-11 : 81.07%

  8. New Initiatives ….. CONSERVATION OF IRRIGATION WATER THROUGH LASER LAND LEVELING • Larger plot size and better water use efficiency • Better crop stand and lesser weeds • Better nutrient use efficiency • Uniform water application Source: CSISA, Ludhiana

  9. New Initiatives ….. AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY SERVICE CENTRES • Propagation of New Technologies • Reduced investment due to availability on custom hiring basis • Generation of employment in rural areas • 1167 AMSC SET-UP • - 925 PACS • - 242 Private • Each AMSC equipped with: • Laser Land Leveler; • Happy Seeder; • Rotavator; • Raised Bed Planter; • Zero-till-drill; and • Other implements FARM MECHANIZATION

  10. New Initiatives ….. IMPROVED SEED REPLACEMENT AND ITS TREATMENT • 100% Seed replacement in three years • Campaign for Seed Treatment during the sowing season. • 50% wheat seed treated – Emphasis on farm saved seed treatment • 15360 Seed Dressing Drums distributed – at least one for each Panchayat • Fungicide for 2.0 Lac quintals of seed was provided. SEED TREATMENT * Source: Zonal Conferences for Kharif and Rabi

  11. New Initiatives ….. RELAY PLANTING OF WHEAT IN COTTON No. of trails : 30 Sowing : 20-44 days advance Av. Yield advantage: 5 quintals/ha

  12. New Initiatives ….. SURVEILLANCE AND MONITORING FOR YELLOW RUST • Yellow rust reduced the productivity of wheat during 2008-09 • Better monitoring led to early detection of incidence • Timely supply of fungicide to Control of yellow rust at 50% cost • Damage restricted to kandi area and that to district Ropar only. • Surveillance also helped in checking the micro-nutrient deficiencies. Zinc Sulphate and Manganese Sulphate distributed on 50% subsidy • Effective control followed by good weather contributed to record production.

  13. New Initiatives ….. MANAGEMENT OF SOIL FERTILITY • In-situ Crop Residue Management through zero/minimum tillage • Strengthening of Soil Testing Laboratories. • Issue of Soil Health Cards. • Promotion of Green Manuring and Summer Moong. Green manuring Use of Happy Seeder to plant in crop residues

  14. New Initiatives ….. CONSERVATION OF IRRIGATION WATER • Enactment of “Punjab Preservation of Sub-soil Water Act, 2009 • To ensure timely transplanting of paddy • Promotion of conjunctive use of water • Community Underground Pipelines Systems • Promotion of Sprinkler and Drip irrigation

  15. New Initiatives ….. PPP IN AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION • Soil and Water Testing Lab M/s. IMT Technologies, Pune • Agriculture Machinery Service Centre M/s. Zimindara Farm Solutions, Fazilka • Diagnostic Lab for Fisheries, Department of Fisheries • Training Centre – Agriculture and allied departments Class Room Hands on Training in: • Dairy and milk processing • Operation and maintenance of agricultural machinery • Fish production • Bee-keeping • Crop production technology Soil Testing Lab Milk Processing Unit Fish Pond Farm Machinery Centre Agriculture Resource Centre, Abul Khurana

  16. New Initiatives ….. EXPANSION OF AREA UNDER SUMMER MOONG • Additional Crop • Additional Income • Improves Soil Fertility 77090 40830 5020 23240

  17. INTER DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION Excellent coordination with: • Department of Fertilizers, GoI and State handling agencies (Markfed, PAIC) for pre-positioning and distribution of fertilizers (Minister of State for Chemicals and Fertilizers Sh. S.K. Jena, while speaking in the parliament on 12-03-2010, appreciated Punjab for its good fertilizers management.) • Department of Irrigation, power as well as BBMB.A Committee has been constituted under Principal Secretary, Agriculture for effective coordination, monitoring the availability and utilization of canal water and power for Agriculture purposes. During drought like situation in kharif 2009, the State achieved record production of paddy. • State Level Banker’s Committee and financial institutions. Scales of finance for different crops revised regularly.

  18. FUTURE PROSPECTS FOR FOOD GRAIN PRODUCTION Our Mission: Sustainably increase the production of foodgrains • Strategic Initiatives : • Replacement of varieties of wheat (PBW-621, HD-2967) and rice (improved PAU-201) • Area Expansion under Summer Moong • Improvement in SRR and 100% Seed Treatment • Reclamation of Soil • Propagation of Resource Conservation Technologies for NRM • Bridging the regional gaps in productivity • Partnerships: • More emphasis on PPP • Better coordination with DAC, SAU and other institutions. • Enhance delivery: • Capacity building of field functionaries and farmers • Ensuring timely and adequate availability of inputs. • Promotion of INM and IPM
