  3. MAJOR INTERCROPPING SYSTEMS • Redgram + Greengram/blackgram/small millets 1:7 • Redgram + Groundnut 1:4, 1:7, 1:9, 1: 11 • Redgram + Cotton 1:7, 1:9, 1: 12 • Redgarm + Major millets 1:2 • Redgram + mesta 1: 4, 1:7 • Redgram + Soybean 1: 2, 1:4, 1:7 • Redgram + Ginger/ Turmeric/ Rice • Redgram + Castor/ Cowpea • Greengram + Cotton 1:1 • Greengram + Sunflower 6:2 • Greengram/ Urad + Sugarcan • Uradbean + Cotton • Uradbean + Millets • Uradbean + Sesame

  4. Issues • TRADITIONAL WISDOM……RESEARCH • Areas fit for potential inter cropping have to be identified • Suitable crop combinations are to be worked out • Appropriate varieties of main and inter crop for better synchronization may done • Non availability of quality seeds • GAP for various situations: Agronomy, Biotic and Abiotic stresses • Mechanization: Seed Drill,Harvester etc • Non standardized technology • PHM • Procurement • Yield data recording

  5. STAGNATION ….Why? • Differential Impact of Technology • Low Productivity • Technology packages for various situations not available • -Rainfed • -Ghats and • -Hill regions • -Uplands • Rice bunds • Varietal breakthrough

  6. STRATEGIES • Identify region specific intercropping systems in the states • Development of Package of Practices with the help of ICAR/ SAUs • Identification & making available critical inputs & essential technologies • Capacity building of farmers/ FPOs/ FPCs, ext. • functionaries/ para ext. workers • Convergence of diff. central/ state govt. schemes/ missions • Organisation of FLDs / Demonstrations on large scale • Proper assessment of yields from intercropped area • Impact evaluation

  7. INTERVENTIONS • Making available seeds of improved/ hybrid varieties suitable for intercropping systems • Providing Composite minikits (Major + Intercrop) • Use of Broad Bed Furrow (BBF) Planter for sowing • Soil Health Card (SHC) based nutrition management • Use of fungicide/ trichoderma for seed treatment • Use of IPM technologies suitable for both crops • Popularisation of intercropping thr’ print & electronic media and publicity material

  8. Composite Minikits for Intercropping

  9. PULSES ON NICHE AREA • Promoting tur on rice & commercial crop field bunds • Promoting green gram in jute • Promoting pulses in orchards/ TBOs

  10. CONCLUSION • INFORMATION • ADVISE • INPUTS • PRICE • FIN. ASSISTANCE

  11. THANK YOU..
