STRATEGY TO ENHANCE PRODUCTION OF KHARIF STRATEGY TO ENHANCE PRODUCTION OF KHARIF CROPSCROPS
Replacement of poor yielding typical 20% upland Kharif area(58600 ha) by high value and high productive crops viz. Maize, Pulse, Oil Seeds through distribution of Seed Kit.
Yield enhancement of Aman rice from 2408 kg/ha to 2540 kg/ha through varietal replacement, Soil health management, Water management, INM & IPM.
Out of 58600 ha rice area curtailed in rainfed upland, 10000 ha will be brought under maize, 17500 ha under Kalai, 3300 ha under Moong, 6600 ha under Pigeon Pea, 2000 ha under Kulthi Kalai, 3000 ha under Niger, 5600 ha under Sesame through distribution of Seed kit. Balance 10600 ha area will be covered through subsidy programme.
