  10. Major Initiatives ….. EXPANSION OF AREA UNDER SUMMER MOONG • Additional Crop • Additional Income • Improves Soil Fertility Area under Summer-Moong (ha) 77090 40830 23240

  11. Major Initiatives ….. PROMOTION OF RESOURCE CONSERVATION TECHNOLOGIES Area under Minimum Tillage -2012-13: 6.85 lac ha. Tehsil wise area (ha) • Minimum tillage • Leaf colour chart • Tensiometer • Happy Seeder • Laser Land Leveler

  12. Major Initiatives ….. IMPROVED SEED REPLACEMENT AND ITS TREATMENT • Emphasis on Seed replacement once in three years • Campaign for Seed Treatment during the sowing season. • 50% wheat seed treated – Emphasis on farm saved seed treatment • 15360 Seed Dressing Drums distributed – at least one for each Panchayat • Fungicide for 2.0 Lac quintals of seed was provided. SEED TREATMENT

  13. Major Initiatives ….. DEMONSTRATION OF CROP PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY • Seeding Technology • Zero-tillage • Raised Bed Planting • Paired rows • Bi-directional sowing • Relay cropping in cotton • Intercropping in Sugarcane • Residue Management • Retention of Residues: use of Happy Seeder • Incorporation of Residues: use of Rotavator • Collection of Residues: use of Baler and zero-till-drill • Spraying Technology • Use of Proper nozzles for herbicides and pesticides • Use of Ceramic nozzles • Demonstrations organized • 9056 of one acre each under ATMA • 230 clusters of 100 ha each under NFSM

  14. Major Initiatives ….. RELAY PLANTING OF WHEAT IN COTTON • The wheat yield is reduced due to delay in planting after cotton. • Planting of wheat in Standing cotton can advance the sowing by 20-40 days. • 20 trails were organized in 2012-13 wherein the average yield advantage was observed as 2-3 quintals / acre. • The farmers are reluctant due to problem of sowing in standing cotton sticks but are impressed by the yield advantage . • 50 demonstrations have been planned during the current wheat season.

  15. Major Initiatives ….. SURVEILLANCE AND MONITORING FOR YELLOW RUST • Yellow rust reduced the productivity of wheat during 2008-09 • Better monitoring led to early detection of incidence • Timely supply of fungicide to Control of yellow rust at 50% cost • Surveillance also helped in checking the micro-nutrient deficiencies. Zinc Sulphate and Manganese Sulphate distributed on 50% subsidy • Effective control contributed to better productivity. (4724 kg/ha. : 2nd highest in last five years)

  16. Major Initiatives ….. AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY SERVICE CENTRES : Started in 2008-09 • Propagation of New Technologies • Reduced investment due to availability on custom hiring basis • Generation of employment in rural areas • 1363 AMSC SET-UP TO-DATE • - 1121 PACS • - 242 Private • Each AMSC equipped with: • Laser Land Leveler; • Happy Seeder; • Rotavator; • Raised Bed Planter; • Zero-till-drill; and • Other implements FARM MECHANIZATION

  17. Major Initiatives ….. Agriculture Resource Centre at AbulKhurana • Soil and Water Testing Lab M/s. IMT Technologies, Pune • Agriculture Machinery Service Centre M/s. Zimindara Farm Solutions, Fazilka • Diagnostic Lab for Fisheries, Department of Fisheries • Training Centre – Agriculture and allied departments PPP IN AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION Class Room Hands on Training in: • Dairy and milk processing • Operation and maintenance of agricultural machinery • Fish production • Bee-keeping • Crop production technology Soil Testing Lab Milk Processing Unit Fish Pond Farm Machinery Centre Another ARC is being set-up at Sohal in Gurdaspur

  18. UTILIZATION OF FUNDS UNDER NFSM 2012-13 (Lac Rs.) RKVY sub-schemes i.e. BGREI and INSIMP are not operative in Punjab

  19. INTER DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION Excellent coordination with Line-departments : • Department of Irrigation, power as well as BBMB. Purchased power worth Rs.5700 crore to meet the agricultural demand. A Committee has been constituted under Principal Secretary, Agriculture for effective coordination, monitoring the availability and utilization of canal water and power for Agriculture purposes. • Department of Fertilizers, GoI and State handling agencies (Markfed, PAIC) for pre-positioning and distribution of fertilizers. • Supply of quality chemicals : A State level Committee under Principal Secretary Agriculture and with Registrar Cooperative Societies as Convener has been set-up to arrange quality chemicals. • State Level Banker’s Committee and financial institutions. Scales of finance for different crops revised regularly. No inter-departmental issues

  21. FUTURE STRATEGY AND ROAD MAP FOR FOOD GRAIN PRODUCTION CHALLENGE THRUST • Water use efficiency • Balanced use of nutrients and their use efficiency • Crop diversification with focus on varietal improvement to sustain food grain production. • Post harvest management and value addition • Management including utilization • Mechanization • Stability of performance • Depleting underground water • Deteriorating soil health • Predominance of rice-wheat system • Dependence on primary agriculture • Straw burning • Labour shortage • Climate change Vision: Diversified Sustainable Agriculture

  22. Formulation of State Agriculture Policy • Formulation of Policy for Crop Residue Management • Formulation of State Agro-Industrial Policy, 2013 to encourage investment for agro-processing • Enactment of Contract Farming Act, 2013 • Constitution of Commodity Specific Boards viz. State Basmati Development Board, State Maize Development Board, State Pulses Development Board etc. • Establishment of Centre of Excellence in Maize in partnership with Monsanto • Establishment of Centre of Excellence in Water use Management with Jain Irrigation • Facilitation of Establishment of Directorate of Maize Development at Ludhiana FUTURE STRATEGY AND ROAD MAP FOR FOOD GRAIN PRODUCTION

  23. FUTURE STRATEGY AND ROAD MAP FOR FOOD GRAIN PRODUCTION • Research trials of 1700 new varieties of wheat including hybrid wheat are being held in partnership with BISA • Replacement of existing varieties with new HYV viz. PAU-121 and 122 for rice, PUSA Punjab Basmati-1509 , HD-3086, HAU-1105 • Strengthening of Research- MoU with BARC for Mutation Breeding • Emphasis on Region specific cultivation of crops • Organization of Agricultural Summit on 20-24 February, 2014 to attract investment in Agriculture for mechanization and technology up-gradation

  24. Some Soul Searching Yield gaps analysis in wheat in various States (q/ha) • With smallest yield gap and highest area under irrigation – How to increase the productivity? • With no scope to expend area (4.2 out of 5.03 mha already under plough) – How to improve the production? • %age based ranking causes further damage (for 10% plus improvement in productivity we have to improve yield by 5 quintal/ha whereas others have to improve it by 2.5-3 qunital/ha) Award should for management which minimizes yield gaps not on the basis of % increses.

  25. Outstanding Foodgrain Production in 2012-13 Highest Productivity of Wheat , Rice and Total Foodgrians in the Country Largest Contribution of Foodgrains to Central Pool: Wheat – 111.2 LMT Paddy – 133.8 LMT Will the criteria for Awards ….…? Thanks
