  1. Strategies for Wheat Production Uttar Pradesh Department of Agriculture, UP Department of Agriculture UP

  2. Major Wheat Producing State Figures of 2007-08

  3. Area of Wheat and Barley in Rabi Production of Wheat and Barley in Rabi

  4. Status of Wheat & Barley

  5. Productivity Scenario of Wheat (Qt/ha)

  6. Agro Climatic Zones in U.P. Tarai Western Plain Central Western Semi Arid Plain Mid-western Plain Central Plain Bundelkhand Northern Eastern Plain Eastern Plain Vindhyan

  7. Category-wise Status of U.P. Total No. Of farmers Family- in % Category wise total land share- in % Category wise farmers holding- in ha

  8. Status of Problematic Soil Area in lak Ha. • Arable degraded land - 11.30 • Non arable degraded land - 7.21 • Ravines land - 3.58 • Sodic land - 5.33 • Water logged - 5.13 • Diyara & Khadar - 13.28 • Total Problematic Soil - 45.83

  9. Zonewise Production & Productivity

  10. Zonewise Wheat Production Total Production in 2008-09 - 285.54 Lakh MT

  11. Major Concerns • U.P. has nine agro climatic zones with varying eco-system and situations. • There is no major breakthrough in genetic improvement of wheat varieties with higher yield potential. • Fragmentation of holding is making the farming as a uneconomic. • Small and marginal farmers have very poor purchasing capacity. • The temperature required (220 C) for wheat sowing is generally obtained not before 15-20 November which delays the sowing of wheat crop.

  12. Major Concerns • Often due to late mansoon sowing of kharif crops gets delayed which results into delayed sowing of wheat. • The practices of growing crops like Toria and short duration Arhar results in to late sowing of Wheat. • Nutrients harvest is also more from the soil, which creates the deficiency of nutrients in the soil. • Lesser use of P&K fertilizer, no use of organic manures and micronutrients leads to deteriorating soil health and affect the wheat productivity. • Low MSP. • Cultivation of wheat in problematic soil reduces productivity.

  13. Strategy • Ensuring adequate quantity of quality seeds of location specific high yielding varieties in wheat growing areas. • 100% sowing of wheat has been targeted to be completed by 15th December. • Encouraging the balanced use of fertilizers as per soil test and also that the use of organic and bio-fertilizers. • Popularization of use of soil ameliorates like gypsum for reclaiming soils having high pH. • Encouraging efficient on farm water management. • Promotion of zero-till-seed-cum-fertilizer drill.

  14. Strategy • Promoting integrated weed management. • Integrated pest and disease management especially of Kernel Bunt, loose smut and rust. • Bringing more area under micro irrigation sprinkler & drip irrigation. • Mechanization to insure timely operation. • SAUs have been requested to develop thermo insensitive varieties. • Replacing PBW-343 and PBW-373 by PBW-502, PBW-550 & DBW-17. • Discouraging burning of paddy residue/straw.
