ACHIEVEMENTS

Krishi Karman Award two times in a row for performance under Wheat during 2010-11 and 2011-12.

Commendation Award for continuous achievement of wheat and rice during 2012-13.

2nd largest contributor of food grains to central pool. State has contributed 112.94 lac MT of food grains during the year 2012-13.

1st in Basmati rice export. More than 55% is exported from Haryana. The production of Rice has broken all the records during the year 2013-

14 with the highest production at 39.98 lac MT since the inspection of the State.

Department of Agriculture has made efforts to replace the Sathi Paddy and now we are cultivating about 75 thousand hectares of Summer Moong which was recorded during the year 2012-13.

The production and productivity of Cotton has also been achieved at its record at 26.21 lac bales and 739 kg. per hectare (Lint) during the year 2011-12.

Other Achievements The State has also recorded its highest productivity of Mustard in the country at 18.69

qtls. per hectare during the year 2010-11. The productivity of Bajra during the year 2011-12 was also highest in the country at

20.40 qtls. per hectare. The prices of Sugar Cane at Rs. 301/-, 295/- and 290/- per qtl. for late , mid and early

sown varieties are also one of the highest in the country. Village level fertility maps prepared. 18.97 lac soil health cards have been distributed to

the farmers so far and our State is a model State in the country by mapping soil fertility for each village.

Modified National Agriculture Insurance Scheme (MNAIS) and Weather Based Crop Insurance Scheme (WBCIS) have been implemented in the state in 4 districts and 27 blocks respectively.

An amount of Rs. One lac cash prize to the farmers for the highest productivity of major crop is being given.

An amount of Rs. 10 lac is also given to the best agriculture village of each district of the state.

Pioneer in Zero Technology. DSR being promoted in a big way. Relay cropping of wheat in cotton being promoted.

CHALLENGES1. Depletion of Ground-water Resources

54% Ground-water brackish.

Annual Depletion is 33 cm in Fresh Water Zone.

68 out of 124 (55%) Blocks are over-exploited.

2. Sustainability of Soil

Saline & Water-logged Soil (50,000 ha critically water-logged).

Alkaline Soil (1.11 lac ha).

Deficiency of micro & secondary nutrients.

Poor Organic Carbon.

Stubble Burning of Wheat Paddy.9

3. Small Land Holdings

10.93 lac Small & Marginal Farming Families which account for

67.59% of total farming families.

Land Holdings are not viable.

4. Increasing Cost of Cultivation

Increase in cost of inputs.

Increase in labour charges.

Shortage of labour

5. Inadequate Post Harvest Management

6. Climatic Change

10

Adoption of improved technology for efficient use of water,

nutrients & plant protection chemicals.

11

Improving Water Use Efficiency

• In situ water harvesting (Khet Ka Pani Khet Mein).• Discouraging flood irrigation by promoting micro-irrigation.• Irrigation management through Water User Associations

(WUAs)• Strict Enforcement of the Haryana Preservation of Sub-soil

Water Act, 2009.• Laser Land Leveling and water delivery system through pipes

(UGPL).• Recharging of aquifers. • Management and diversion of flood water.

12

Promotion of Underground Pipelines (UGPL)

• ISI Marked HDPE/PVC Pipes are laid at one meter depth.• Subsidy @ 50 % of the cost or Rs.60,000 per beneficiary for

UGPL.• Plan to bring 38000 ha area under this system during 2013-14.• Provision of Rs.48.00 crore made for this purpose.• Total area covered - 1,16,245 ha

14

• Saves about 15% to 20% water and improves crop productivity.

• Saves energy, reduces operational cost.

• Water carried directly to fields.

• Additional area upto 2% (under open field channels) brought under cultivation.

• Prevents seepage and evaporation losses.

IMPACT OF UGPL

15

PROMOTION OF SPRINKLER IRRIGATION

• Subsidy @ 50 % cost of the system up to 5 ha per beneficiary.• An area of 48000 ha targeted under this system during

2013-14.• Provision of Rs.42.00 crore made for this purpose.• Total No. of Sprinkler Sets - 1,39,731• Area Covered - 5,28,183 ha

16

Promotion of Drip Irrigation

• Subsidy @75% of the total cost of the system (max. upto 2 ha) per beneficiary.

• Drip irrigation in 2000 ha area under sugarcane & cotton proposed during 2013-14.

• Area covered - 2000 ha (cotton & sugarcane)

LASER LAND LEVELER (Introduced in 2007-08)

Water Saving 15-20%.Leads to uniform irrigation.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.

17

PROMOTION OF DSR

Basmati Varieties 21 to 31 %

Non-Basmati 22 %

Hybrids 20 to 25 %

Water Saving in DSR (CIMMYT Report)

DSR Paddy

Efficient Use of Nutrients

• Balanced use of fertilizers.• Soil Testing. • Time, placement & method of application.• Application of secondary and micro-nutrients.• Reclamation of problematic soils.• Crop rotation.• Green manuring.

24

Efficient Use of Plants Protection Chemicals

• Apply only recommended pesticides/dose/ water.• Do not use tank mixtures.• Avoid repeated application of same pesticide.• Proper spray equipments should be used.• Proper time of spray.• Use neem based formulation.• Pyrethroids usages should be restricted to three

applications in north zone.

25
