Lessons Learnt Use of micro nutrients is increased in deficit

areas

Adoption of farm mechanization increased

Varietal replacement rate is increased i.e. PULSE (Tur)- Vaishali, GT-103, GJP- 1 PULSE (Moong)- Meha and Gujarat 4,

GBM-1, PULSE (Gram)- Guj. 2 and Guj. Gram 3

Distribution of soil health cards to all the farmers

Pre season arrangement of inputs through Gujarat State seed Corporation and Gujarat Agro Industries Corporation

Implementation of schemes in cluster approach

Lessons Learnt (cont..)

Increase in Seed Replacement Rate.

Learned importance of Varietal Replacement Rate

Increased use of on farm resources and low cost inputs like bio fertilizers, organic manures, crop residue management, vermi-compost etc.

Use of water saving devices and micro irrigation systems

Farmers learned to adopt INM and IPM

Local initiative component provide better understanding in water conservation

Success storyMore Production of Gram (Chick pea) by the farmer of Sami Taluka (Gujarat State)

• State Average Yield (Gram) : 1251 Kg/ha• Farmer’s Yield (Gram) : 2100 Kg/ha

SUCCESS STORY Out of the farmers growing Gram (Chickpea) of Sami taluka Dist. Patan, Nadoda Dajubhai Mansangbhai has done successful farming in Gram during the Year 2013-14. Introduction of the farmer is as below.

Farmers Name: Nadoda Dajubhai Mansangbhai

Village: Orumana

Ta: Sami (Sankheswar)

Dist,: Patan

State: Gujarat

Words of Mr. Dajubhai- During the year sowing of Gram crop increased in Rabi season due to late rainy spell in Sami taluka. I received seed of Gram under National Food Security Mission scheme and follows the agricultural practices from sowing to harvesting under the guidance of State Agriculture department. Due to the utmost care was taken for judicious use of fertilizer and plant protection measures, I have taken more production crossing average yield.

Suggestions Particularly for the rice four districts are

covered and the area have 1000 factories of popped rice, and their required Gurjari Variety. So, farmers are not ready to adopt new variety GAR.-13 even sufficient seed availability. Please give us a special permission for Gurajari variety .

Increase more district in Rice crop. Formation of new district is take place in

Gujarat in 2013, earlier there is 26 district now it is 33 district. Please consider it and provide PMT for new districts.

in all crops 10 & 15 year age limit is there, many dominant varieties which are better than new variety even though they are out of subsidy. Please include well performing old varieties for seed distribution/demo in interest of state farmers.

Ratio of seed distribution/demo: other components (60:40) is also revised
