2. Boron and sulpher deficiency:- Not a major issue in Punjab State. Potassium balance is a matter of concern as consumption is very low:- The state soils are medium to high in potassium, therefore the consumption is low. 1.SOIL HEALTH STATUS OF PUNJAB SOILS(% of Soil Samples Determined as Low Medium & High)

PRODUCTIVITY ENHANCEMENT : SUGARCANE • PROPAGATION OF SEED THROUGH TISSUE CULTURE. • STRESS WILL BE LAID ON SOWING ON RIDGES AND TRENCHES TO SAVE IRRIGATION WATER. • PROMOTION OF IPM ON SUGARCANE. Intercropping of sugarcane in wheat
ADOPTION OF IMPROVED TECHNOLOGY FOR EFFICIENT USE OF WATER , NUTRIENTS AND PLANT PROTECTION
Status of Ground Water development & Critical Area As per the latest groundwater balance studies (2009), 23 blocks are categorized as ‘Safe’ (stage of development less than 70%), 2 as ‘Semi-Critical’ (stage of development between 70 to 90%), 3 blocks as ‘Critical‘ (stage of development between 90 to 100%) and 110 blocks as ‘Over-Exploited’ (stage of development more than 100%).
Efficient Use of water …1/3 • Promoting Laser land leveling • Promoting use of tensiometer for conserving irrigation water. • Promoting Diversification for adopting less water consuming crops like Basmati, cotton and Maize. • Enactment of Punjab preservation of sub soil water Act 2009 • Providing 50 % subsidy on sprinkler and drip systems under Micro Irrigation scheme.State Provided 429.69 lakhs financial assistance to 1248 beneficiaries • Awareness training programs conducted for conservation of natural resources at District, Block and village level. • 1400 AMSC’s established for providing latest Machinery on custom hiring basis.
Efficient Use of water…..2/3 POLICY INITIATIVES ENFORCEMENT OF TIMELY TRANSPLANTATION For this purpose ‘THE PUNJAB PRESERVATION OF SUB-SOIL WATER ACT, 2009’ has been enacted which provides for: • No sowing of nursery before 10th May • Nursery not to be transplanted before a date to be notified by the State. • Notified date 10th June, 2009 • In case of violation, nursery or transplanted paddy to be destroyed at the expenses of the farmer.
Efficient Use of water…3/3 • Use laser land leveler for precision land levelling before puddling to enhance on farm water use efficiency and other farm inputs • Restrict to timely sowing of nursery(second fortnight of May) and timely transplanting schedule (second fortnight of June) for better grain quality, water saving and low building up stem borer • Use Leaf Colour Chart for nitrogen application • For the management of bacterial leaf blight disease, rice varieties PR 111, PR 113, PR 115 , PR 121 and PR 122 are promoted TENSIOMETER Laser land leveler

STRATEGY FOR CONTINGENCY PLAN IN THE EVENT OF ABERRANT SOUTH WEST MONSOON
ABERRANT SOUTH WEST MONSOON • The south – Western monsoon starts in the last week of June and covers the whole of Punjab by first week of July. It remains active during the months of July, August and mid September. • Cultivate short duration early maturing and drought tolerant varieties of the various crops recommended for the region. • Avoid early transplantation of Paddy and its cultivation on coarse textures soils as iron deficiency may appear in Paddy on such soils due to shortage of water. • Avoid over-use of nitrogenous fertilizer than recommended dose which may lead to lodging of crop. • Decrease area under Paddy; grow locally suitable alternate crops such as maize, soybean, groundnut, basmati rice, arhar, moong, etc . • Arrangement OF Seeds of toria has been made in sufficient quantity . • Our recommended varieties are stress tolrent , we got maximum Yield during 2009 when drought like situation prevailed in the state. • State is having its 98 % area is under assured irrigation.
Marketing interventions to ensure remunerative prices of pulses, oilseeds and coarse cereal grains
Marketing interventions of pulses, oilseeds and coarse cereal grains • Farmers get lower rate of the produce than the paddy- wheat. • Procurement of oilseeds and pulses mechanism needs to be strengthened • Research on disease and pest resistant High yielding varieties • Assistance for mechanical harvesting threashers . • State having negligible area under Kharif oil seeds and pulses and having no problem of marketing.
