  1. NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON AGRICULTURE Kharif Campaign March 20th -21st, 2009 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, HARYANA

  2. AGRICULTURE AT A GLANCE • Geographical Area (GA) 4.42 m ha(1.4% of India) • Cultivable Area (CA) 3.8 m ha (86.35% of GA) • CULTIVATED AREA 3.74 m ha (98.4% of CA) • GROSS CROPPED AREA 6.50 m ha • CROPPING INTENSITY 182% • IRRIGATED AREA 84 % • Farming family 15.28 lac • Small farmers 2.94 lac • Marginal farmers 7.84 lac • Others 5.30 lac • 2nd Largest contributor to the Central Food Grains Pool • 3rd Largest producer of Wheat • First in Basmati rice export • Pioneer in adoption of zero tillage technology.

  3. Monthwise rainfall (mm) 2008-09

  4. RABI CROPS PRODUCTION (Assessment) Area in ‘000’ ha Prod. in ‘000’ tonnes/bales Yield Kg. per hectare • Good September rains & frost free weather conditions increased prospects of Gram & Mustard crop . • Sunflower area affected due to non availability of Sunflower hybrid • Area & production of Sugarcane decreased by 33 %

  5. RABI PRODUCTIVITY Kg/ha

  6. KHARIF CROPS PRODUCTION • Productivity of rice declined due to severe attack of Plant hopper • Heavy rain affected the Bajra productivity • Production of cotton dropped due to less area coverage. • Area under sugarcane dropped by 33%. • Area under Guar crop increased.

  7. KHARIF PRODUCTIVITY Kg/ha

  8. INITIATIVES TAKEN DURING KHARIF 2008 • Under ground pipeline system promoted to economize the use of irrigation water. • Area under hybrid paddy increased from 2.0 lac hect. to 2.4 lac hect. • Pusa-1121 variety of Basmati Paddy promoted to increase farmer’s income. • Area under Bt. Cotton increased from 41,000 hectares to 3.6 lac hectares • Seed supplied through Govt. agency • Enacted legislation “Preservation of Sub-Soil Water act, 2009” prohibiting raising of paddy nursery before 15th May and transplanting of Paddy before June, 15th • Green Manuring was promoted • More than 32000 qtl. seed of dhaincha distributed free of cost to the farmers and an area of 1.04 lac hect. covered.

  9. EXTENSION APPROACHES • Extension Machinery strengthen - inducted 160 more extension workers. • Pritibadh wall magazine in 3500 villages free of cost. • Krishi Sanvad magazine in all villages (24 dedicated pages to Agriculture sector) • Use of EDUSAT System to disseminate information. Tele conference of field workers on monthly basis • Wide use of electronic and Print Media. • Pragatisheel Kisan club strengthened by way of providing office room, computers and fax machine in DDA office. • Farmer’s Development workshop- cum- Exhibition to disseminate information. ● Karnal ● Hisar ● Bahadurgarh(Jhajjar) ● Kurukshetra ● Rohtak ● Rewari. • Use of GIS Technology in Agriculture for balanced use of fertilizers.

  10. GIS APPLICATION IN AGRICULTURE

  11. GIS Application ---- Present Status Soil Fertility Status maps -: -- NITROGEN ,PHOSPHORUS ,POTASH Micronutrient deficient areas -: --Zinc , Iron ,Manganese ,Copper Water quality maps -: --Salinity -- Alkalinity( Sodic) Ground water status-: --Water table -- Water logged area

  12. SCOPE IN AGRICULTURE-GIS • Geographical area of each village • Cultivable area • Cultivated area • Problem soil – salinity/ alkalinity • Water logged area • Cropping pattern • Fertilizer use • List of contact /Beneficiaries farmers • Number of tube wells • Irrigated area –Canal / Tube well • No. of tractors/Implements- combine Harvestor,Zero till machine etc • Field demonstration • Soil Conservation works ( Location based) • Any other information

  13. THRUST AREAS FOR KHARIF, 2009 • Promotion of hybrid and basmati paddy cultivation (Hybrid 3.0 lac hectare and basmati paddy 6.25 lac hectare targeted) • Promotion of summer moong cultivation 25000 hectare area targeted against last year coverage of 20000 hectare • Increasing the area under Bt. Cotton from 3.6 lakh hectares to 5.0 lakh hectares Productivity 2007 - 663 kg lint/ha. 2008 - 694 kg lint/ha. 2009 - 710 kg lint/ha. (Target) • Promotion of ring pit & wide row spacing method to increase sugarcane productivity • Mechanization of sugarcane farming to reduce the dependence of farmers on labour • Promotion of green manuring to improve soil health 2007 - 52,000 hectares 2008 - 104000 hectares 2009 - 100000 hectares (Targeted) • Supply of micronutrients to replenish micronutrients deficiency. • Promotion of Resource Conserving Technologies. ● Zero Till Seed Drill ● Rotavator ● Straw Reaper ● Reaper binder ● Lesser leveler

  14. Targets Kharif 2009-10

  19. (in lacs) 2007-08 Progress under RKVY

  20. (in lacs) 2008-09 Contd. • Green manuring, farm mechnaization, water saving devices and soil health improvement programme is mainly focused in agriculture. • Genetic improvement of cattle, reproductive health management and strengthening of fodder seed unit are priority areas in Animal Husbandry & Dairying sector. • Fish seed production, popularization of hybrid vegetables cultivation and development of storage capacity and cold chain etc. are the other areas targeted under RKVY during RKVY during 2008-09. • Adequate funds have been allocated to Animal Husbandry, Fisheries and Horticulture sector under RKVY to ensure holistic development of farm sector in the state. • Draft comprehensive District Agriculture (C-DAP) for 20 district have been prepared.

  23. Steps taken to promote seed treatment • Seed treatment campaign from 1-30 Oct. • Awareness camp in 1875 Villages. • Seed treatment campaign committee constituted at state, distt. & block level • Involvement of private sector in seed treatment campaign • Radio jingles for seed treatment continuously aired from AIR Rohtak, Kurukshetra and Hisar • Wide use of print media • Farmers training camps Distt. level – 20 Block level – 120 Village level - 1875 Achievements of Seed Treatment
