BACKGROUND• Rice fallows basically indicate to those lowland kharif
sown rice areas which remain un cropped during rabi (winter) due to various reasons
• Mainly spread in the states of Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Odisha, WB and U.P, M.P,A,P and southern coastal region
• In our country, there is large shortage of pulses as well as edible oil. The shortage is gradually increasing with increase in population & per capita income
• During 2014, India imported about 41 lakh tonnes pulses & 120 lakh tonnes of edible oil
• Rice fallows offer huge potential for area expansion with short duration pulses and oilseed

Challenges• Poor Germination resulting poor crop stand • Mostly local varieties of pulses/ oilseeds are grown• Water stress during critical periods of crop growth• No fertilizer application done in the crop• Lack of a-biotic stress tolerant varieties • More susceptibility to biotic stresses• High weed infestation suppressing growth of crop• Lack of POP for rice fallows under different
situations• Non availability of quality seed• Grazing by Stray Cattle – a social problem

Strategies• Potential areas under rice fallow to be utilized• Poira/ relay cropping of Lentil/ Lathyrus/ Pea/ in Kharif
Paddy fields may be done• Poira/ relay cropping of short duration Mustard/ Linseed
Kharif Paddy fields• Cultivation of Sesame/ Ground nut in Potato fallows• Short duration Green gram during pre- kharif• Intercropping of Black gram with Maize/ Green gram with
Jute• Use of zero tillage machines for sowing of pulses &
oilseeds in rice fallows where ever feasible• Necessary low cost Protection from stray cattle• Better market linkage to fetch good price

Technological Intervention for Improving the Productivity
• Use of high yielding varieties• Overnight soaking of seeds & seed treatment• Use of Rhizobium culture in pulses /
groundnut • Maintaining optimum plant population• Provision of at least one life saving irrigation
during flowering to reap better yield• Foliar nutrition at pre bloom stage• Weed management• Plant protection
