STRATEGY TO IMPROVE THE FOOD GRAIN PRODUCTION2015-16
Arrangement and distribution of quality seeds.Promotion of Seed treatment .
Timely supply of Power and canal water for irrigation
Pre-positioning of fertilizers
Promotion of INM and IPM for need based use of inputs.
Regular monitoring and control of Yellow Rust.
Dissemination of latest crop production technology through
District , Block and Village Level Farmer’s Training Camps, Front Line Demonstration ; and Farmers field Schools, field days etc..4Slide5
New Initiatives for enhancing crop production
5 Provision of precision agricultural machinery through agro-service centers (1703) on custom-hiring basis Promotion of resource conservation technology viz. Laser land leveling, minimum tillage, DSR etc.
Improvement in VRR through propagation of new varieties of wheat (PBW 725, HD 3086, WH 1105) and paddy (PR 123, PR 124, PR 126)
Campaign for sieving of home saved seed
Rouging of off-type plants
Use of M
obile-app in vernacular
for quick dissemination of information
Exposure visits to the fields of progressive farmersSlide6

Coordination with other departments
7A State level committee under the Additional chief Secretary (Agriculture) for effective coordination and monitoring of availability and utilization of canal water and powerDirector Agriculture is a special invitee in TCM of BBMB for deciding the quantum and schedule of releases from dams / reservoirs
State level Seed Committee comprising of seed producers, PUNSEED, Seed Certification Authority and PAU to monitor the availability and distribution of certified seedEfficient coordination with MARKFED and Punjab Agro for pre-positioning of
Phosphatic
fertilizers
State level committee under Registrar Cooperative Societies to finalize scales of finance and monitor credit flow to agricultureSlide8
Post Harvest Management and marketing support
8 Efficient marketing system for food-grains:
Number of Regulated markets: 153Number of Purchase Centers : 1799
Storage Space Available – 125 LMT
CCL for timely payment to farmers
Payment to Farmers direct /on-line
Silo storage for food grains being
constructed at 10 rail heads
7 dryers for drying of produce in major maize markets of the State.Mobile dyers on subsisidy to maize growers for farm level drying Mega Food Park for maize processing at Phuglana in Kapurthala Slide9
Future Strategy for improving production of food-grains
9Area Expansion under Summer MoongImprovement in SRR and VRR
Replacement of HD 2967 in semi-hilly areas to arrest the incidence of yellow rust. 100% Seed Treatment
Precision planting for ensuring proper plant density through use of Pneumatic Planters
Timely sowing by ensuring timely and adequate availability of inputs.
Propagation of Resource Conservation Technologies.
Capacity building of field functionaries and farmersSlide10
