- Group I STRATEGIES FOR KHARIF PRODUCTION Advanced preparation
of seed rolling plan Ensure availability of - Quality seed for each
season - Formulate programme of identifying genuine growers -
Training farmers to the registered growers in each a district of
the state for seed production Maintenance of seed purity and
quality through regular monitoring and evaluation Seed bank to be
set up in cluster villages State seed certification agency be set
up in the state Construction of more number of seed go-downs under
seed village programme State seed farm in different agro-climatic
zone of the state be established
- Slide 17
- Contd Implement multi-locational trials to assess suitability
of advanced breeding lines and currently available varieties
Develop linkages with breeding stations to source breeding
materials and advanced lines Identify landraces with desirable
traits and collect germplasm of such landraces Evolve improved
nursery management techniques for local soil types and weather
conditions Conduct improved land preparation methods and treatment
of problem soils Implement site-specific nutrient management
instead of blanket recommendations Promote use of appropriate
agricultural machineries and mechanical devices Implement suitable
seed storage-community drying facilities, hermetically sealed
containers Re-orient extension activities to be more demand-driven
-target location-specific rice ecosystems
- Slide 18
- Contd Seed testing laboratory to be set up in each district of
the state Seed testing to be conducted in seed testing laboratory
to ensure germination before distribution to the farmers Post
harvest drying, packaging and labelling of seeds imperative Conduct
PVS (Participatory Varietal Selection) to identify and disseminate
farmer-preferred varieties Introduce agri-clinics and agri-business
centres Facilitate rapid spread of quality seeds of improved/hybrid
varieties among farmers through i. Demonstration of programmes in
cluster area ii. Dissemination of information through multimedia of
availability of quality seeds to farmers
- Slide 19
- The Kharif Production Campaign will be launched shortly during
April 2014 in all the 39 Community and Rural Development Blocks of
the State Wide Publicity would also be given for wide coverage
through regular Radio Talks, Live Phone-in programme, Doordarshan
Kendra Awareness programme Distribution of pamphlets on Kharif
Crops/Kharif Cultivation Farmers Training through Farmers Training
Centres and Farmers Training Institutes

- Adoption of Improved Technology for Efficient use of Water
1.State receives maximum rains 2.Interventions to tap and conserve
run off water for uses during dry spell by small adequate rain
water harvesting structures to be used during winter and dry spells
for the cultivation of boro paddy and winter vegetables such as
a)Check dams b)Sluice gates c)Diversion Channels d)Dug outs
e)Surface water pumping 3.Utilize potential ground water by means
of shallow tube wells 4)To mitigate havoc of flooding water 5)To
tap potential water available from all sources which is still
underutilized. 6) To sustain farming in specific pockets than
massive structures which are more helpful for small and marginal
farmer.s
- Slide 23
- Adoption of Improved Technology for Efficient use of Nutrients
INM 1.Soil Test Based Agro climatic zone and package of practices
for all crops. 2.Use of complex and customized fertilizers yet to
be adopted by farmers of the State. 3.Farmers prefer straight
fertilizers. 4.Use of Organic Manure and natural composting in the
State has been a practice by tradition rather than default.
5.Bio-fertilizers are being promoted in most crops through chemical
fertilizers are used in cash crops like potato, tomato, paddy, etc.
6.State is rich in nitrogen, low in phosphorous and medium low in
potash. 7.Issue of Soil health cards totaling manual 14000 till
date and 2000 online.
- Slide 24
- Adoption of Improved Technology for Efficient use of Plant
Protection Chemicals The demand/ consumption of pesticides during
the kharif 2014 was discussed during the zonal kharif conference
for North-East Zone. Insecticides like Chloropyriphos, Quinalphos,
Dimethoate, Carbofuran,Monocrotophos,Phosalone, synthetic
Pyrethroids and Fungicides e.g. Carbendazim Mancozeb etc. Sale
points=120 Nos, Dept., Cooperative, and private. Regional Pesticide
Testing Lab= 1 no. Biological Control labs=2 nos. ( Trichogramma
and Trichoderma ) Judicious use of Pesticides i.e. need base.
- Slide 25
- IPM: 1.Pest surveillance and advisory reports as communicated
by Indian Council for Agricultural Research (ICAR). 2.IPM awareness
and regular training by FTIs. 3.Two- Biological control labs in the
State producing Trichogramma and Trichoderma. 4.Promotion of bio
control agents and bio-cides. 5.Adoption of all IPM
techniques.
- Slide 26
- Other adoptable Technologies developed and recommended:
1.System of Rice Intensification The Technology is being adopted in
the high attitude during Kharif and mostly Boro paddy in low
altitude areas by making use of available moisture from reservoir,
Check dams, dug outs, surface flow and shallow tube wells. The
system is being promoted through RKVY,NFSM and other State plan
schemes.
- Slide 27
- Strategy for Contingency plan in the event of aberrant South
West Monsoon. 1.Rainfall being erratic. 2.Flash floods are common.
3.Hail storm during April. 4.Submergence of paddy is common in low
lying areas water stress and late precipitation in certain years.
5.Contingency plan will be prepared. 6.There has not been any
drought but only short dry spells. 7.In case of prolonged
submergence alternate crops such as pulses & vegetables are
grown. Seeds and other inputs are in place. STRATEGIES Conservation
Agriculture through Water harvesting structures like Check dams,
surface water pumping, shallow tube wells, dug outs and other
irrigation means. Availability of Seeds and other inputs to be put
in place. Machineries for land preparation seed drills etc.
Diversification and changing of the cropping pattern.
- Slide 28
- Crop & Weather Scenario The Kharif crop calendar i.e. from
April to September 2012, began with delayed onset of Monsoon and
comparatively less rain from April to July in some areas of the
State thereby affecting the agronomic activities of the Kharif
crops however onwards from July end the weather condition for the
crops improved and generally normal except in parts of the State
affected by landslide and flash flood. Sowing, planting,
broadcasting and transplanting of paddy, tuber crops, vegetables,
maize, paddy, horticultural crops and other kharif crops was
normal. In some areas due to erractic rainfall in rainfed paddy
field sowing and transplanting of paddy crop was delayed. However,
the prospect of monsoon rains in August was encouraging and the
crop particularly Sali paddy appears to be doing well with ample
moisture in the initial stages of crop growth. It is hope that with
no further heavy rain as in the previous year.
- Slide 29
- Marketing intervention to ensure renumerative prices of pulses,
oilseeds & Coarse Cereal grain. 1.No. pulses production in
adequate quantity. We have intra export. Hence no market
constraint. 2.Oilseeds Soyabean- High demand but less production.
No market constraint only local soyabean grown in few packets of
the State and that is utilized in preparing local fermented
chutney. 3.Mustard Oil produced in small quantity and is being
processed locally and is sold within the State and of high demand.
No market constraint. 4.Coarse Cereal Grains Maize grown only as
Kharif maize and in small quantity, nut demand is high for Cattle
feed. Hence it is intra import but demand is high especially with
the implementation of the IBDLP. 5.Rice Inadequate to feed the
Sates. Hence, intra import and consequently no market
constraint.
