Promotion of Guar Crop 3.00 lakh ha area targeted (3.52 lakh ha. in 2012) under Guar

crop during Kharif, 2013. Awareness camps to educate the farmers regarding improved

practices of guar crop cultivation. Short duration high yielding varieties (HG- 365 and HG-563) to

be promoted. Collaboration of Industrial houses.

Contd..

To mitigate deficiency of sulphur, Gypsum is being provided on 60% subsidy.

Targeted 2.25 lac ha area for gypsum application during 2013-14. Micronutrients fertilizers are available at 75% subsidized rates with

a maximum ceiling of Rs.750/- per ha under centrally and state sponsored schemes.

Targeted an area of 2.50 lac ha for micro-nutrient application during 2013-14.

Other Steps

12

Regular Campaigns are launched for collection of Soil Samples.

3.5 lac Soil Health Cards (SHCs) are targeted annually. 15.61 lac SHCs have been distributed so far. 33 static STLs & 3 MSTLs are operational. 21 STLs & 2 MSTL are equipped for Micronutrients

analysis. STLs Karnal, Ambala & Rohtak are equipped with

Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectrometer (ICP). All STLs are computerized for registration and preparation

of Soil Health Cards. Digital district soil fertility maps for each nutrient

depicting village level information are available on departmental website.

STRENGTHENING OF SOIL TESTING PROGRAMME

13

Reclamation of Saline & Alkali Soils 50,000 ha area affected with Salinity & Water-logging, out of

which 8,062 hectare area reclaimed so far. Estimated 1,80,000 ha area affected with Alkalinity which is to be

reclaimed with application of Gypsum in phased manner. 3.29 lac hectare of Alkaline soils have been reclaimed so far. Remote sensing imageries are used to identify saline soils of

districts Rohtak, Jhajjar, Jind & Bhiwani. Digital Data Loggers at 23 blocks in 4 districts of Rohtak,

Jhajjar, Karnal & Kurukshetra installed to monitor ground water quality and depth through GPRS.

17 remaining districts work allotted – likely completion by 31.3.2013.

Rest of the blocks to be covered during 12th Plan.

BEST PRACTICES

Contd.

1. Under Ground Pipe Line

ISI Marked HDPE/PVC Pipes are laid at one meter depth.

33

Subsidy @ 50% or maximum Rs. 60,000 per beneficiary.

IMPACT OF UGPL

• Saves about 25% to 30% water and improves crop productivity.

• Saves energy, reduces operational cost.

• Water carried directly to fields.

• 2 % additional area brought under cultivation.

• Prevents seepage and evaporation losses.

2. LASER LAND LEVELER (Introduced in 2007-08)

35

Water Saving 25-35%.Increases in Production 6-8%.Reduces consumption of fertilizer and pesticides 18-20%.Saving in Electricity and Diesel.Desired slope can be maintained to drain out the excess water in heavy rainfall areas. Increase in irrigated area/command area.Precise level is maintained for three years.

ADVANTAGE OF DSR

41

• Saving in water 20-30%.• Reduces drudgery and labour requirements.• Reduction in cost of cultivation.• Early maturity seven to ten days than transplanted

method.• No need to prepare seed bed.• No need to grow nursery/ seedlings.• Yield of DSR is almost at par with traditional method.• Plan to bring 50 % Basmati area under DSR during 12th

Plan.

ISSUES

• Yellow rust reported in Ambala, Y. Nagar, Panchkula, Karnal, Kurukshetra, Sirsa & Panipat districts (in pockets and patches).

• PBW-550, WH-711, DBW-17, HD-2967 & HD-2851 mainly affected.

• Adequate steps taken. Propiconazole supplied at 50 % to affected farmers.

• Incidence of Yellow Rust is a serious problem. Adequate availability of seed of resistant varieties of wheat should be ensured in the next season so as susceptible area may be saturated with the seed of resistant varieties.

• Adequate No. of minikits of wheat variety HD-2967 & PBW-621 should be allocated during next year & size of minikit should be minimum half acre.

• Certified seed of pulses is very costly & subsidy provided by GOI for seed of pulses is 50% or Rs.1200 per qtl. whichever is less which is very small. It should be enhanced to 50 % of the cost of the seed without any cap.
