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

STAGNATION ….Why?

•Differential Impact of Technology•Low Productivity•Technology packages for various situations not available-Rainfed-Ghats and-Hill regions-UplandsRice bunds•Varietal breakthrough

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

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

Composite Minikits for Intercropping Intercropping System
