Strategies for Rabi-Summer: 2013-14
Timely pre-positioning of agricultural Inputs; Seeds, Seed
treating bio-agents/ chemicals, Soil amendments, Fertilizers,
Micro-nutrients, Weedicides & Pesticides;


Timely sowing;

Focus on the districts having higher area concentration;

Moisture conservation & timely sowing in rainfed areas in
view of early withdrawal of Monsoon; and

Optimum & efficient use of conserved water.

Use of Bio-fertilizers• Azosprillium, Azotobacter, Rhizobium , Phosphate Solubilizing bacteria, Potash
mobilizing bacteria reduce dose of N,P,K, fertilizer by 25%.
•Use of micronutrients based on soil health maps/ soil health analysis report.
•Deficiency- Sulphur 46%, Zinc 49% Boron 33%; Molybdenum 13%; magnesium 5%
Copper 3 %.

PROMOTION OF RESOURCE CONSERVATION
TECHNOLOGIES IN RABI: 2013-14

Promotion of Zero tillage/FIRB technology;

Residue management through Happy Seeder;

Promotion of land levelling through “Lazer
Land Laveller”;

Integrated Nutrient & Weed management; and

Relay cropping of wheat in cotton growing
areas.
STRATEGY FOR RABI-SUMMER PULSE PRODUCTION

Full utilization of additional allocation of Rs. 450 crore for pulses
under NFSM;

Timely sowing: Improved varieties/planting methods;

Seed inoculation with Rhizobium culture/ PSB/Trichoderma;

Weed Management (Pre/Post-emergence);

Promotion of inter-cropping: Rapeseed & Mustard,
Sugarcane;

Integrated Nutrient Management – sulphur , Molybdenum , Zinc ,
Boron & soil test based major nutrients;

Pest Surveillance and Integrated Pest Management;

Procurement : NAFED-SFAC; and

Advance planning for Summer pulses.
Linseed,
WAY FORWARD

Linkages with SAU/ICAR Institutes/KVKs for
technical backstopping;

Timely crop tracking & close monitoring of
weather situation; and

Timely implementation & monitoring of crop
development programs.
