2. Cotton

Application of micronutrients 30 – 40%

Encouraging Water Soluble Fertilisers

25-30%

Micro Irrigation 15 – 20%

Implementation Stem Application 40-50 %

Encouraging Bio-fertilisers 5-10 %

3 Redgram

Soil application of T. viridi 15-20 %

Encouraging Water Soluble Fertilisers

25-30%

Use of Botanical Insecticides 15 – 20 %

Transplanted Redgram 4-5 %

GAPS IN AGRICULTURE• Crop sequence & crop rotation

Continuous mono cropping Non remunerative crop sequenceNon adoption of intercropping for sustainable

production

• Poor Soil Health ManagementDegradation of organic matterMicro nutrient deficiencyMono cropping resulting in soil degradation

18

GAPS IN AGRICULTURE• Indiscriminate use of pesticides & Fertilizers

Top Dressing of Phosphotic fertilisersImproper selection of pesticidesHigh or low dosage of pesticidesNot following Timely applicationImbalanced use of NPK fertilisersExcess use of urea

• Extension system:Man power resourcesDissemination of Technologies to the farmers

19

MAJOR STRATEGIES

A)Micro nutrients:

Massive Soil Health Campaign – Collected and analysed 720 soil

samples during 2015-16 for NPK and 360 for Micronutrients.Soil samples collected through GPS.

Planning for supply of Micronutrients.

Already positioned 10 MTs of Zinc Sulphate, 10 MTs of Gypsum

and 0.4 MTs of Boron.

B) Village level Action Plan has been prepared for 23

villages to address the gaps in productivity.

20

Major Strategies for achieving double digit growth

C) Crop wise strategies for increasing productivity in each

crop by adopting good agricultural practices with emphasis

on reducing cost of production.

Transplanted Red gram (25 ha), CRKs(75ha),Polambadi, etc.

21

D) Organic Farming/ Natural farming:

1. Integration of NPM for quality produce in different

crops

2. Using RMGs as platform promotion of organic farming

3. In coordination with SERP, the ongoing Organic

Farming will be scaled up.

4. Popularizing different methods of organic inputs like

vermi compost, FYM, neem coated urea, neem cake, bio

agents & bio pesticides

Major Strategies

22

E) Extension:• Improving Extension Reach by Polam Pilusthondi,

Chandranna Rythu Kshetralu. 4 CRKs covering an area 40 ha will be demonstrated in different crops for increasing productivity.

• Focus on Organic Farming - Reduction in chemical fertilizers and elimination of chemical pesticides.

F) Farm Mechanization:

Promoting improved Farm Mechanization with

outlay of 25 Lakhs to supply farm implements on

subsidy to reduce the cost of farm operations.

CROP WISE INTERVENTIONS TO ACHIEVE DOUBLE DIGIT GROWTH

Major Production Gaps proposed for correction

which contribute for increase in growth

Technological Intervension Proposed to bridge the gap % of Area proposed to cover with

intervention (in ha.)

Lack of awareness on soil health

Creating awareness on soil health through soil testing and also on usage of micronutrients like Zinc and Gypsum. Yield increase by 15 to 20%

30-40%

Non application of organic manure and bio-fertilizers

Creating awareness on use of FYM, and growing of green manure crops and application of organic manures and bio-fertilizers. Yield increase by 10-15%

25-30%

Application of phosphatic fertilizers as top dressing

Educating the farmers on basal application of Phosphatic fertilizers and creating awareness on use of Phosphorus Solubilizing Bacteria (PSB). Cost reduction by 5-10%

25-30%

Seed treatment with bio fungicides is not practiced

Awareness on use of Bio fungicides for seed treatment like Pseudomonas in Paddy.

Optimum plant population not followed

Encouraging Direct sowing with Seed Drills and Cost reduction by 20-25%

45-50%

High cost of cultivationPromoting Farm Mechanization from land preparation to harvesting, thereby reducing cost of cultivation by 30-40% and increasing the productivity by 5-10%

5-10%

Awareness on use of Bio fungicides for seed treatment like Pseudomonas in Paddy; Trichoderma viride in Cotton, Chllies, Maize and Pulses.

15-20%

Maintenance of Soil Specific plant population

More Plant population in Rainfed light soils. Increasing the production by 15-20%

25-30%

Stem ApplicationEncouraging Stem application with chemicals reduced the cost of cultivation by 10-15%

20-30%

Incidence of pod borer Adoption of IPM practices 15-20 %

Non application of Water soluble fertilisers

Encouraging farmers on usage of Water Soluble Fertilisers 25-30 %

Non adoption of improved Technologies

Adoption of Transplanted Redgram 4-5 %

STRATEGIC FOCUS ON

• Soil Test Based Nutrient recommendation

• Reducing excessive use of Nitrogen

• Encouraging Direct Sowing in Paddy

• Control on indiscriminate use of Pesticides

• Promotion of Non-pesticide Management (NPM)

• Micronutrient supplementation• Capacity building and trainings.
