SOILS OF TRIPURA
• Four soil orders viz. Entisols, Inceptisols, Alfisols and Ultisols have been identified in Tripura.
• Soils of Tripura have been grouped into five soil reaction classes viz. extremely acidic (<4.5 pH)-10%, very strongly acidic (4.6-5.0)-26%, strongly acidic (5.1-5.5)- 54% and medium (5.6-6.0)-8% and slightly acidic (6.1-6.5)-2%.

OUR AIMWe are working together through various disciplines to fulfill the following three aspects:
Food Security : 5.13 lakh MT (1999) 6.48 lakh MT (2010) 8.62 lakh MT ( 2012-target)
Livelihood Improvement: 1.16 lakh mostly tribal beneficiaries, have been provided with 1.72 lakh hectares under Forest Right Act,2006.
Sustainable Environment contd..
Sustainable Environment• Efficient use of Rain Water :
(i) Integrated Water Shed Management Programme in 238 ha.
(ii) NWDPRA, IWDP, WDPSCA- 736.35 ha. through 6898 Water Harvesting Structures.
• Use of Bio fertilizer :1.4 tons to 758 tons• Improving the conjunctive use of
fertilizer.
Addressing unexplored areas• Tilla land utilization
through mixed cropping – increase in net cropped area.
• 1.72 lakh ha land made available to 1.16 lakh tribals for cultivation under Forest Dwellers’ Rights Act.
• Survey on present status, crop suitability, mixed cropping etc of the allotted land is in progress.
Tilla land utilization with diversified cropping
Colocasia in tilla land-source of starch to the tribal people
Tilla Land Utilization
•No tillage/minimal tillage.•Major crops in the system are : Paddy, Maize, Bottle Gourd, Radish,Cauliflower, Sesamum, Rapeseed, Blackgram, Arhar, Pineapple, Banana, Ginger, Chilli Bamboo, etc.
Black gram-Bottle gourd after paddy harvest
Paddy in tilla land with minimal land development
Maize in Jhum
Comparison between Traditional and Improved System
Traditional System Modern system/ Improved system.Slash and burn every fourth year.
No slash and burn.
Crop harvest over two seasons in each year.
Integrated crop & soil management.
Enhancing income generation with continued community approach in crop management.
No harvest except Pineapple & banana in second & third year and Bamboo in the fourth year.
Discontinuation of shifting Agriculture and inducing a feeling of ownership due to assured return which facilitated micro level planning and development.
Deterioration in soil fertility and environmental pollution.
To reckon with a socio Economic change duly addressing to environmental concerns.
Management Approach in Terraced Land
• Systematic cultivation permits better agricultural operations.
• Facilitates seed treatment ,Bio fertilizer applications etc.
• Supports use of fertilizers soil ameliorants incubated in organic manure.
• Use of liquid fertilizers .• Continued use of
Indigenous Technical Knowledge.
INTRODUCTION OF NEW VARIETIES
• Five new varieties introduced in the Improved system of tilla land cultivation ( Bali White, Bali Red, Yapuna Yamukh, Kimin and Nsusu).
• Introduction of short duration varieties of paddy in plain land situation for 13000 hectares which facilitates to increase cropping intensity up to 300% (Paddy-Paddy- Vegetable) in a year.
Support needed for implementation• The subsidy for soil ameliorants should be increased from
Rs.500/- to Rs. 1500/- per ha. Lime costing Rs.3/- per kg in orissa costs Rs.10/- in Tripura.
• 30% of land out of 1,72,00 ha. distributed under Forest Act needs to be covered with Agri /Horticultural crops. Support under dry land Agriculture is needed through NFSM- pulses, Isopom maize.
• Micro-irrigation needs support further• Present productivity is 2.6 T/ha. may be increased to
3.5T/ha. by increasing N:P:K application from 39 kg/ha. to 100 kg/ha.
• In the 2nd Green Revolution Plan, Tripura which is not covered in NFSM rice, NFSM pulses, Isopom maize etc. should be included
