BEST PRACTICES ADAPTED BY THE STATE

Best Practices adapted Benefits

1. Zero Tillage Machine (Rice & Wheat Crop)

High Yield benefits

Cost of Ploughing is saved

Germination is uniform

Less requirement of Seed Rate

Less Water is required

Early Crop Maturity

2. SRI a) NFSM - 300 nos.

b) Macro Management of Agriculture- 7000 nos.

Higher yield (10 to 12)% Lesser maturity duration less water is required
