Targets for 2010-11
WHEAT:
Last five year average
Area
: 34.92 lac ha.
Yield
: 4332 Kg/ha.
Target
Area
: 35.00 lac ha.
Yield
: 4400 Kg/ha.
Production : 154.0 LMT
BARLEY:
Target
Area
: 20,000 ha.
Yield
: 3,350 Kg/ha.

Core Issue for Wheat in Rabi:
How to sustain the productivity?
Strategy:
Capacity building of field functionaries and farmers
Improvement in SRR and VRR
Replacement of PBW-343 in semi-hilly areas to arrest the
incidence of yellow rust.
100% Seed Treatment
Timely sowing by ensuring timely and adequate availability
of inputs.
Promotion of INM and IPM
Propagation of Resource Conservation Technologies.
CAPACITY BUILDING OF FIELD FUNCTIONARIES
AND FARMERS
Two-day workshop for staff of Department of Agriculture, KVKs and
FASS regarding rabi crops on 19-20 August, 2010.
District/block/Village-level Farmers Training Camps in collaboration
with PAU
Awareness campaign through print and electronic media
Road side panels and hoardings under National Food Security Mission
Demonstration plots, field days and Farmers Field Schools
Display boards depicting details of components and rate of assistance
available under various schemes at each office
Awareness campaign amongst farmers for use of Kisan Call Centre.

SEED TREATMENT
50% wheat seed – Farm saved seed
6125 Seed Dressing Drums have been distributed (one for
each Panchayats) during 2009-10,
Remaining villages planned to be covered before the start
of rabi 2010-11.
Fungicide for 75000 quintals of seed being provided under
NFSM and for 2.5 lac quintals of seed under RKVY.
Campaign for Seed Treatment during the sowing season.
PROMOTION OF INM AND IPM
Campaign for Termites control: 2.33 Lac. Lt. of Chlorpyriphos 20 EC
distributed on 50% subsidy
Balanced use of nutrients for improving factor productivity
Distribution of Zinc Sulphate and Manganese Sulphate on 50%
subsidy
Supply of fungicide to Control of yellow rust at 50 % cost

PROMOTION OF BARLEY CROP
About 12,000 ha. Under Barley during 2009-10 and average
productivity 3912 kg/ha.
Mostly sown under Contract Farming with UB and 9000 ha.
planned during 2010-11.
Seed provided by UB – Varieties DWRUB-52 and VJM- 315
Procurement at a price equal to MSP of wheat or market
price which ever is more.
