Kharif-2014 Kharif-2013
Region specific Crop planning -Focus on the districts having higher area concentration of a crop;
Pre-positioning Inputs: Seeds, bio-agents/ Agro- chemicals, Soil amendments- Lime , Gypsum, Fertilizers, Micro-nutrients
Moisture Conservation & Timely sowing :Laser Land Leveller, Zero till Seed drill , Rotavator, Happy Seeder,
Focus on Fallow Area: specifically fallow kharif (3.37 Million Ha) areas left unsown due to delayed monsoon
Optimum & efficient use of conserved water: Micro- irrigation
Promotion of Relay cropping / Intercropping: To enhance the production and profitability.

mobilizing bacteria reduce dose of N,P,K, fertilizer by 25%.•Use of micronutrients •Deficiency- Sulphur 46%, Zinc 49% Boron 33%; Molybdenum 13%; magnesium 5% Copper 3 %.
Source: INM & FMS, DAC, GOI
NEW INITIATIVES FOR RABI: 2014-15
To enhance pulses production North Eastern states & Hilly States included under NFSM- Pulses
Additional Allocation of Rs 300 crores
Promotion of Coarse grain cereals, all states included under NFSM – Coarse grain cereals
Higher level seed subsidy for replanting where crops damaged during kharif season
SPECIFIC ISSUES
Yellow Rust & Karnal Bunt: strategy to management of these diseases
Enforcement of Seed Certification Standards: wheat karnal bunt
Area specific application of Micronutrients – sulphur , Molybdenum , Zinc , Boron , etc
Promotion seed production during off season to make up the deficiency
Advance planning for Summer pulses.
WAY FORWARD
Linkages & Coordination: SAU/ICAR Institutes/KVKs for technical backstopping & Other central ministries;
Timely crop tracking & close monitoring of weather situation; and
Timely implementation & monitoring of crop development programs.
