Integrated farming System On an experimental basis all the three SAUs are organizing Integrated Farming System Demonstrations on an area of 25,000 ha. with a total financial outlay of Rs.75 Crore.
Mobile Extension Service: Mobile extension units are being put in place at taluk level for making technical knowledge available to farmers in partnership with the SAUs, and expert institutions in the government and private sectors.
Tank Rejuvenation: Minor Irrigation tanks are being rejuvenated with a financial outlay of Rs.1,000 Crore for filling up of water. This augments irrigation potential for successful crop production in otherwise drought prone areas.
BHOOCHETANA • Soil Health Analysis • Provision of Micro-nutrients • Comprehensive technical and input support for productivity • Reaching 30 lakh farmers in 28 lakh ha. of state • Improved productivity by 20 to 46 %
Technological Support: “Bhoochetana” model of balanced nutrient application, especially, micro-nutrients (Sulphur, Zinc & Boron), use of bio-fertilizers and bio-pesticides and soil moisture conservation practices and timely harvest and post-harvest operations have greater potential to realize potential yields even under rainfed conditions.

Human Resources: • Owing to large number of vacant posts, especially at grass root level; the strategy of utilizing the services of Farm Facilitators has come in very handy in transfer of technology to the dry land farmers and also arranging supply of critical inputs at cluster village level.
Under RKVY, 1500 Raitha Shakti Groups have been organized; they are provided with revolving fund and their services are utilized in various stages of crop production viz. input supply, information dissemination, training and organizing crop demonstrations.
Logistics: • Raitha Samparaka Kendras: 747 RSKs serve as the centres at sub-block level for providing technology & inputs. • FFS: Farmer Field Schools are being organized at every RSK to serve as extension model for successful crop production.
Organic Farming Karnataka was the first to bring an Organic farming Policy to promote organic farming in the State. Organic Village / site Programme is extended to all taluks level from district level from the year 2006-07. Organic Mission has been established to spread the organic farming technology involving registered Organisations/Trusts.
Mechanized Transplanting of Rice • Rice is cultivated in nearly 15 lakh ha. in the state. • Productivity of rice varies from 2.5 to 6.0 tonnes per ha. • Emphasis on improvement in productivity is given in • NFSM districts. • Rice is transplanted invariably in all ecosystems. • Labour availability, inefficiency and high cost have become • major constraints. • Mechanized transplanting is gaining popularity in Kerala • and Tamilnadu. • Need to adopt this technology through ‘SRI’ approach.
Objectives • To increase the Rice productivity and profitability through large scale adoption of SRI method of cultivation in NFSM / Non – NFSM districts • Popularization of mechanical transplanting for timely transplanting and to overcome labour scarcity and drudgery. • To impart training of operational skills and maintenance of farm machineries. • To reduce the cost of cultivation and to promote sustainable / judicious use of natural resources.
