IMPROVED SEED REPLACEMENT AND ITS TREATMENT

Emphasis on Seed replacement once in three years

Campaign for Seed Treatment during the sowing season.

50% wheat seed treated – Emphasis on farm saved seed treatment

15360 Seed Dressing Drums distributed – at least one for each Panchayat

Fungicide for 2.0 Lac quintals of seed was provided.

SEED TREATMENT


Seeding Technology Zero-tillage Raised Bed Planting Paired rows Bi-directional sowing Relay cropping in cotton Intercropping in Sugarcane

Residue Management Retention of Residues: use of Happy Seeder Incorporation of Residues: use of Rotavator Collection of Residues: use of Baler and zero-till-drill

Spraying Technology Use of Proper nozzles for herbicides and pesticides Use of Ceramic nozzles

DEMONSTRATION OF CROP PRODUCTION DEMONSTRATION OF CROP PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGYTECHNOLOGY

Demonstrations organized

9056 of one acre each under ATMA

230 clusters of 100 ha each under NFSM


RELAY PLANTING OF WHEAT IN COTTON

The wheat yield is reduced due to delay in planting after cotton.

Planting of wheat in Standing cotton can advance the sowing by 20-40 days.

20 trails were organized in 2012-13 wherein the average yield advantage was observed as 2-3 quintals / acre.

The farmers are reluctant due to problem of sowing in standing cotton sticks but are impressed by the yield advantage .

50 demonstrations have been planned during the current wheat season.


Yellow rust reduced the productivity of wheat during 2008-09

Better monitoring led to early detection of incidence

Timely supply of fungicide to Control of yellow rust at 50% cost

Surveillance also helped in checking the micro-nutrient deficiencies. Zinc Sulphate and Manganese Sulphate distributed on 50% subsidy

Effective control contributed to better productivity. (4724 kg/ha. : 2nd highest in last five years)

%age based ranking causes further damage (for 10% plus improvement in productivity we have to improve yield by 5 quintal/ha whereas others have to improve it by 2.5-3 qunital/ha)
