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
