Slide57
Contingent Plan-2013-14
Under post
kharif season, crops like Black Gram,Maize will be grown.Promotion of Khesari, Toria, like crop will also increase area & production of Pulse & Oilseed crops even under rainfed
condition.Rabi crops like Wheat, Mustard, Lentil, Maize, Groundnut & Summer crops like Sesame and Moong are the best suited crops under West Bengal situation.
Slide58
Challenges & Strategies ………..
Challenges:
Departure of rainfall from normal rhythm particularly in rainy months,Reduced span of winter period to grow cold loving Rabi crops resulting restricted VRR,More than 64% of the Geographical Area is under cultivation with 180% cropping intensity & putting pressure on natural resources.
High cost of Phosphatic & Potassic
fertilizer facilitates imbalanced NPK ratio in soil(2.92:1.6:1.0).
Slide59
Strategies:
Under Low area & High productivity Zone, increased C/Q Seed availability from increased Seed Certification
Programme.Under High area & low productivity zone, increased Mechanization with Zero Till machine & use of quality seed.Utilization of potential Rice fallow areas under Relay(poira) cropping of Lentil, Khesari
, Toria & mustard.Integrated Planning for supply of Quality Resources to the production systems.
Increased production of
Vermicompost
, other low cost indigenous nutrient sources & increased employment generation,
Reducing the Gap of IPC & IPU.Better income realization by farmers with market linkageSlide60
‘
‘Area Expansion’.
Strategic Technological Tools :Farm Mechanization with Zero/Minimal seed-drill to utilize residual moisture for timely sowing of Wheat, Pulses & Oilseeds. Extension of Intercropping, Mixed cropping, Relay cropping of Pulse, Oilseed & Maize to low lying Rice Fallow & upland field during Early/Rabi and Rabi season respectively,
Expansion of irrigation potential & reducing the gap between IPC & IPU through micro irrigation, Reduction of conveyance loss, Soil & Water conservation and Dry land & rainfed farming
, & to convert cultivable Waste land to cultivated Land.
Research
with new crops & varieties & under diversified soil and changing climatic condition for
improved SRR & VRR. Slide61
‘‘Vertical Expansion’ through ‘Productivity Augmentation’.
Strategic Technological Tools
:Increased Seed &Variety Replacement rate.Expanding SRI Boro Area & with saved water resources, increasing irrigated Wheat, Pulse, Oilseed & Maize cultivation.
Training ,Extension & e-Governance. Farm mechanization : Electrical pumps, Zero till seed drill, Tractor, PowerTiller, Drum Seeder ,Delivery Pipe etc.
Soil Health Management & Soil Test based nutrient Management, INM & IPM,
Resource conservation technology:
Mulching
, Efficient irrigation Conveyance , to holding size of the farmers.Slide62
‘
Better income’ realization by farmers
Providing alternative input production capacity to farmers through:Azolla/Vermi/Compost/Green/Leaf
manuring.Demonstration & research on Integrated Farming System with livelihood support,
Selection of popular market crops and varieties,
Better provision of Storage and linking post harvest processing to Agro-Industries in PPP mode for value addition
.
Reducing cost of production: Stress on location specific technology development integrating the ITKs. Providing bio-fertilizers, bio-pesticides etc to combat high cost P & K Fertilizers &synthetic pesticides.Slide63
Prioritised Issues of West Bengal
Due to Climatic aberration during Kharif & Rabi, early Duration Rabi Varieties of Wheat, Lentil, Mustard, Khesari (
Lathyrus), Groundnut, Sunflower with high yield potentiality under the region and availability of Quality/Certified seeds and it’s integration with Seed Rolling Plan.Intensified Mechanisation programme with funding support as per choice of farmers for high area with low productivity zone.Resource conservation technology with Zero Till/FIRB or other technological Tools for Rabi crops like Wheat, Rice, Maize, Pulses & Oilseeds.Marketing infrastructure for increased price realizationMicro-Irrigation facility with rational subsidies under all the Departments.Value addition through Intensified Post Harvest Management Programme including Food Processing. Establishment of Custom Hiring Service for farm mechinaries. Slide64
