General & Common Constraints for oilseeds crops • Cultivation of oilseed crops on depleted, denuded and undulated marginal and sub marginal lands of rainfed areas. • Oilseed crops are more risky being highly prone to pest and diseases resulting in poor return to farmers. • Moisture stress at critical stages of vegetative / reproductive phase of crop growth. • Lack of crop and location specific short duration high yielding varieties. • Package of practices are not adopted as crop growers are generally resource poor farmers. • Little or imbalanced use of fertilizers. • used of untreated seed and no use of R. Culture. continue----
Continue----- • Poor weed management. • Soils of Oilseeds growing areas are generally poor in organic carbon and deficient in secondary (S) and micro-nutrients (Zn and B). • No use of IPM, IDM and IPNM technology. • Lack of policy and marketing support. • Shortage of quality of suitable verities at proper time.
Crop specific ConstraintsGroundnut • Poor plant stand due to low seed rate and high incidence of white grub, termite, stem/collar rots&PBND. • Use of obsolete and low yielding cultivars. • Lack cultivars suited to specific conditions & cropping system. • Deficiency S, Zn & B.
Crop specific ConstraintsRapseed - Mustard • Salt affected soils. • Attack of white rust, downy mildew and alternaria blight. • Aphid, sawfly and painted bug insect pests. • Poor plant protection measures. • Imbalanced use of fertilizers. • Late sowing. • Lack of institutional support to the farmers in production and marketing.
Crop specific ConstraintsSoybean • Unavailability of quality of suitable verities in a adequate qualities. • Poor handling of soybean seed reduces germination of seed resulting in poor plant population. • The lack of support by the private sector. • Severe problem for disposal of produced by farmers at remunerative price due to lack of proper marketing support.
Crop specific ConstraintsSesame (TIL) • Non Availability of quality seed to the farmers as seed chain of till is very poor. • Little or no use of fertilizers. • High risk involved in the cultivation of sole crop of sesame. • High susceptibility to biotech/ abiotech pressures at initial stage of growth.
Crop specific ConstraintsSunflower • Problem of pollination. • Menace of blue bulls. • Problem of birds if grown in small area. • Farmers are facing severe problem in marketing of their produce as marketing support is lacking.
Strategies to meet the challenges Multi pronged strategy 1- Expansion of area under oilseeds. A- Inter cropping with cereals and pulses. B- By replacing low non remunerative given crops with remunerative oilseeds crops. C- By increasing cropping intensity. D- Extending cultivation of Oilseeds to Rice follows. E- Oilseeds Crops as catch crops in the period left between to regular crops. 2- Enhancing productivity by adoption of improved oilseed production technology. 3- Value addition to oilseeds and oils. 4- Higher recovery of oil by efficient processing of oilseeds. 5- Strengthening the marketing of oilseeds oils and oilseeds. Differential rate of improved duty on the import of palm oil at the time of harvest of oilseed crops like rapeseed mustard.
