  1. MEASURES FOR INCREASING THE PRODUCTIVITY OF RABI CROPS AGRICULTURE COMMISSIONER DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE & COOPERATION MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE New Delhi

  2. RABI CROPS: RESOURCES BACKGROUND * Poor Monsoon Rain. Nearly - 12% overall rainfall till September 8. Excellent start in June, bad in July, good in August, uncertainty September * Above 20% deficient : JK, HP, Punjab, West Raj. West UP, East UP, East MP, Jharkhand, Vidarbha, Marath, Telangana, TN, Cast Kar. Kerala, And/Nic * Agri. Imp. Tract like Pujab, UP, Haryana, Rajasthan, M.P. MS, Jhar. Kar. A.P. T.N. are also facing problems * Storage of water in 71 reservoirs estimated at 82.59 billion cubic metres (9.9). Represent 63% of capacity.

  3. RABI CROPS :: KHARIF 2004 SCENARIO *SOWING PROGRESS BY END OF AUGUST

  4. KHARIF : RABI - INPUT : OUTPUT

  5. NATIONAL CROP PRODUCTION TARGETS:FOODGRAINS (M T)

  6. NATIONAL CROP PRODUCTINO TARGETS: OILSEEDS & COMMERCIAL CROPS (M T)

  7. TRANSFER TECHNOLOGY GAP : CEREALS - MILLETSProductivity of different crops has also remained much below the existing production potential with available technologies. (Yield in tonnes/ha)

  8. CROP SPECIFIC ISSUES Wheat • Low SRR • Delayed sowings, especially in rice - wheat system areas • Adoption of Resource Conservation technologies - Zero till seed drill, Raised Bed Planting - raised seed bed planter • Deficiency of micronutrients- adoption of INM • Durum wheat production considering to export demand

  9. Rabi Jowar • Early / timely planting to maximise the advantage of residual soil moisture. • Adoption of recommended location specific HYVs / hybrids. • Maintaing the optimum plant stand- 1,35,000 plants /ha under rainfed and 1,50,000 plant / ha under irrigated condition. • Resource based use of fertilizers • Management of insect-pests and diseases

  10. Rabi maize • Propagation of full maturity hybrids • Propagation of single cross hybrids • Encouraging the transplanted maize under multiple cropping system • Encouraging intercropping in maize to maximise the returns- mustard, chickpea, potato, green pea,etc

  11. Chickpea • Timely planting to take advantage of residual soil moisture under rainfed conditions • Propagation of area specific disease resistant/tolerant varieties • Encouraging the rhizobium inoculation with seeds and use of sulphur • Providing one irrigation at floweing/podding stage • Adoption of IPM concept for the management of insect pest and diseases especially the Helicoverpa, wilt and blight

  12. Rapeseed/Mustard • Timely planting • Resource based use of fertilizers • Encouraging the use of sulphur • Irrigation at critical stages of crop growth • Adoption of IPM for the management of insect pest and diseases especially aphids, white rust, downy mildew, blight and powdery mildew

  13. Safflower • Encouraging the propagation of location specific recommended varieties including the thornless varieties • Adoption of IPM for the management of aphids, wilt and blight • Encouraging the alternate use of safflower petals

  14. Sugarcane • Encouraging the early maturing varieties for autumn planting in Northern Region • Effective management of ratoon crop • Adoption of IPM for the control of insect - pests and diseases

  15. KEY MESSAGES FOR EXTENSION WORKERS WHEAT * Avoidance of burning of straw and use * Zero tillage or direct seeding * Use of Zerotilling cum fertilizer drill * Furrow irrigated raised bed planting system (FIRBS) : Planting and Management strategy where water is scarce * ZnSo4 and S application in NWPZ

  16. BORO RICE * Promote the adoption of On-farm Water Management Scheme : Replicate the Shallow Tubewell Model of Assam * Precise varietal choice coupled with INM area-wise * System of Rice Intensification (SRI) for water savings in Rabi

  17. SORGHUM * CSH15R, 19R hybrids for deep soils, irrigated areas to be promoted * Improved varieties for rabi to be popularised * Strict adherance to early sowing to avoid shootfly damage.

  18. SUGARCANE * Enhancing irrigation efficiency using drip system * Use of biofertilizers and biocontrol agents for wooly aphids * Micronutrients applications particularly Fe, Zn, S in deficient areas * Paired low planting

  19. RABI PULSES * Intercropping chickpea, lentil with sorghum, safflower, corainder in Central India * CHATIS, JHA. WB, ORI, EAST MP, parts of AP Kar. Have vast tracts can be converted into rice fallows with short duration chick pea / lentil * On farm seed priming * Rapid Minimum Tillage * Rhizobium inoculation 5g / kg seed. Application of tiny amount of molybdenum to improve modulation (mix sodium molybdate into soil at 1200 g/ha or seed priming 0.5g / litre 402 / ha * Urdbean / Mungbean in rice fallows

  20. RABI OILSEEDS * Seed treatment with fungicides to avoid pre & post emergence mortality in safflower * Alternate furrow system of irrigation if available * Intercropping linseed with R & M, Chickpea * Spineless variety NARI 6 to be promoted, MKs1 to be enhanced * Enhance SRR in R & M to 60% * INM with focus on sulphur (Gypsum), PSB in R & M * Summer rice areas be replaced by groundnut (2.5 t / ha)

  21. GENERAL * Use of ridges, furrows, or broadbeds for raising crops * Avoid loss of seedlings due to mortality. Enhanced seed treatment * In Acid soil (nearly 100 m ha) in Assam, NE,. WB Ori. Bihar, Jhar, Ker. Mah. HP. Out of the 25 m ha of cultivated land is < 5.5 /PH. Hence liming is must with material with 25% Cao (Basic slag,lime sludge, calcite, dolmite, phospho, gypsum, press mud, matheline lime)

  22. SUGGESTIONS OF HON’BLE AGRICULTURE MINISTER • Removal of regional imbalance and income disparity through agriculture • 2. Must create Second Green Revolution. With same net area China producing double Foodgrians than India • 3. India ranks 27th in Rice 32nd in Wheat, 33rd in Soybean, Potato in productivity

  23. Need to establish soil testing labs for all 13 nutrients • 5. Adoption of Scientific basis of land preparation • Balanced & proper use of fertilizer usage • 7. Closely looking into problems of NE Agriculture • 8. Reduction in cost of production

  24. THE END
