Promotion of SRI in Andhra Pradesh • It is decided to promote SRI cultivation in the state on a large scale

under wells and tanks during the remaining years of XI plan.• A training programme was organized for all District Joint Directors of

Agriculture and 2 master trainers from each district on 1st May-10.• A workshop was also organized on SRI with scientists, NGOs and

department officers to decide the strategy to promote SRI & cover about 3.71 lakh ha during 2010-11.

• The following strategies are evolved:– Intensive trainings to be imparted to staff (up to field staff and modal farmers)

scientists, farmers & labour.– Wide publicity to be give to promote SRI.– To follow area approach.– Work through NGOs, RMGs, WUAs, KVKs etc.– Custom hiring centers to be established for hiring SRI implements.– One person to be made incharge in each village to ensure constant supervision.– Farmers field visits to be organized.

GENERAL

• IPM – (14) Departmental Biological control labs are geared up to produce the required quantity of bio-agents (Trichoderma viridi 104000 kgs, Pseudomonas fluroscence 48000 kgs, Tricho cards 86500 nos, NPV (LE) 50.00 lakhs)

• INM – (2) Bacterial Cultural Labs in the state have already started producing 100800 packets (500 g each) of PSB & Rhizobium culture and will be supplied by 31.05.10 to field level

• Farm Mechanization – AGROS is the identified agency – tenders are floated

17

Broad Strategy for Increasing Pulse Production in Andhra Pradesh

• Redgram – promotion on Paddy field bunds– popularization during Rabi in irrigated areas– Heliothis, Maruca and podfly management.

• Greengram – preceding Paddy in tankfed and command areas– production potential to be exploited in Telangana agro climatic zones

• Blackgram – as an alternative crop to black soil tobacco– as alternative crop to Rabi rice under tail end command areas

• General– Area Approach– Short duration pulses crops (GG, BG, Cowpea) as intercrops in cotton– Yellow mosaic virus resistant Blackgram and Greengram under rice fallows of

Krishna delta.– Sustain the growth of Bengalgram.– Focused attention on INM & IPM.– Credit to Pulse growers.– Increasing irrigated area under Pulses.

18

NFSM – Accelerated Pulse Production Programme – (A3P) - Implementation

• 28 units (1000 ha) allotted to Andhra Pradesh during Kharif-10.– Redgram - 13 blocks– Greengram - 5 blocks– Blackgram - 10 blocks

Total - 28 blocks

• Out of 13 blocks of Redgram 1 unit in Anantapur will be implemented by NCIPM.

4. Inadequate and imbalanced use of nutrients

5. Pulses suffer heavily from soil moisture stress/drought

6. Lack of mechanization

• As could be seen the net returns especially Greengram and Redgram are not attractive where as, there is an immediate need for increase in production of pulses in the state through increase in area and productivity.

• Since Redgram is the staple food it is envisaged to increase its productivity and production along with other pulses.

33

Mission Structure

• A State Level Executive Committee will be constituted under the chairmanship of Special Chief Secretary (Agriculture) to over see the activities of the Mission in the state.

• Commissioner of Agriculture will be the convenor of the meeting and Vice Chancellor ANGRAU, Secretary (Irrigation), Secretary (Power), Convenor of the SLBC etc. will be the members.

• At district level, the committee will be headed by District Collector and JDA concerned will be the convenor with members from line departments and banks etc.

34

Strategy and Approach for the project implementation

• It is proposed to radically change the implementation strategy of pulse production programme by concentrating on Block demonstrations

• Focused attention on Integrated Nutrient Management (through supply of Sulphur, micronutrients, Rhizobium culture, PSB and Urea for foliar spray).

• IPM (through supply of fungicides for seed treatment and Need Based Pesticides for insect control.) and weed control through supply of weedicides.

• It will be implemented in a Mission mode.

35

Strategy for increasing the Pulses Production

General:-• Government to provide 50% subsidy to farmers on certified

seeds.• Sprinklers to be supplied on 90% subsidy.• INM & IPM kits to be supplied to the farmers while

providing intensive field trainings. • Credit to be provided to all pulse growers.• MSP which is generally lower than the market rate should

be reviewed & enhanced periodically by Government of India.

36

Infrastructure Development

• Increased production of seed and its storage is crucial for the success of the Mission,

• Therefore provision is made to create appropriate need based infrastructure facilities for this purpose.

• This will be used for providing irrigation facilities on seed farms (bore wells, tube wells, lining of channels, pump sets levelling of fields, fencing etc) and creation of storage facilities.

• Department and ANGRAU could avail this provision.

Goal of the Mission & Objectives• The over all goal of the Mission is to ensure a balance between the requirement and

production of pulses in the state for major pulse crops viz. Redgram, Greengram, Blackgram and Bengalgram.

Objectives:

• The main objectives of the mission are:

a) To improve the lot of rainfed farmers through pulse production.

b) To increase the area, productivity and production of major pulses i.e.

Redgram, Greengram, Blackgram and Bengalgram.

• To establish the Mission in partnership with stakeholders farmers’ groups /private /public institutions by ensuring end to end resources availability and by adopting improved INM and 1PM production technologies for accelerating the production of pulses

• To provide technical support by the extension staff throughout the growing season with a view to ensure effective dissemination of improved production technology to the farmers.

• To establish Village Based Seed System for self sufficiency in seeds on the same lines as that of Seed Village Scheme.

46

Need for the Mission

• The present normal production of pulses is 13.83 lakh tons.

• Under NFSM the target given is 16.00 lakh tons by end of XI plan.

• The present pulses requirement is estimated at 24.90 lakh tons during 2010 based on 26 kg per capita need per year as per NIN recommendation, similarly based on NCA recommendation @ 25 kg per head per year it is estimated at 24.00 lakh tons during 2010.

• Thus there is a gap of more than 10.00 lakh tons.

• Hence there is an urgent need to step up the production of pulses in order to meet the growing demand.

Pulses Overview

• India is the largest producer of pulses with 25% share in Global production.

• During 2007-08 the total production in the country was 14.76 million tons from an area of 23.63 million ha.

• The present production is not keeping pace with domestic requirements

• The Nation has to import 2-3 Million tons of pulses annually.

• India is the largest importer of Pulses. • The import bill during 2007-08 was Rs. 5649.60 crores.• The deficit in availability vis-à-vis expected demand is

anticipated to continue in future.

However under Perspective Plan formulated earlier, the pulses requirement was estimated at 24.90 lakh tons during 2010 based on 26 kg per capita need per year as per NIN recommendation, similarly based on NCA recommendation @ 25 kg per head per year it is estimated at 24.00 lakh tons during 2010.

Thus there is an urgent need to step up the production of pulses in order to meet the growing demand.

2. Potentials for Productivity Enhancement

1. In addition to use of improved seed, other interventions like Integrated Nutrient Management i.e. use of Sulphur, micronutrients, Rhizobium culture, PSB, urea spray, 1PM, weed management are equally important in productivity enhancement. Specific contribution of these interventions is as follows:

2. Application of Sulphur increases the productivity by 17.4% to 24.1% in different Pulse crops

3. Rhizobium applications result into productivity enhancement to the tune of 11.1 to 21.0 percent.

4. In case of Redgram 2 percent foliar spray of urea without and with recommended doses of fertilizer contributes to 39 to 106 percent respectively in productivity increase.

5. Yield increase through adoption of 1PM technology is 17.6 to 28.1 percent

6. Control of weeds results into yield increase of 18.30 to 40 percent

7. Planting on ridges gives 25.7 % higher yield and bed planting in black soils increases the productivity by 20-30%.

8. Micronutrients like zinc, boron and iron also have significant effect on productivity enhancement.
