Why this Handbook? The Department of Agriculture, Government of Telangana is implementing different schemes and programmes for the benefit of farming community. The schemes are broadly categorized into two types viz., Normal State Plan Schemes and Centrally Assisted State Plan schemes (National Missions). Guidelines and other details of various schemes and programmes have been made available at www. agrisnet.tg.nic.in. The thought of preparing this Handbook is conceived to demystify the subsidy administration and make it simpler for extension workers & farmers to understand the admissibility criteria and financial norms for subsidies under different schemes by arranging information theme wise rather than in terms of schemes/programmes. The Handbook has been prepared by categorizing various activities in 11 different themes viz., Soil Health- Soil Conservation & fertilizers, Seeds, Plant Protection, Irrigation, Training & Extension, Farm Mechanization, Agricultural credit, Agricultural Insurance, Integrated Farming system, Horticulture and Agricultural Marketing. Further, each theme gets divided into three aspects viz., “What to do?, ‘ What can you get?, and ‘ Whom to contact?” The Handbook cover the subsidy plan of the components related to both central and state schemes being implemented in the State during 2014-15 in XII plan period. The following are the various central Schemes (National Missions) and State Plan schemes of our State: National Missions (Centrally Assisted State Plan Schemes) 1. National Food Security Mission (NFSM) 2. National Mission on Sustainable Agriculture (NMSA) 3. National Mission on Oilseeds and Oilpalm (NMOOP) 4. National Mission on Agriculture Extension Technology (NMAET) 5. Rashtriya Krishi Vignana Yojana (RKVY) State Plans 1. Crop Insurance 2. Extension 3. Pavala Vaddi 4. Vaddileni Runalu 5. Integrated Nutrient Management 6. Supply of Seeds 7. Farm Mechanization 8. Land Resource Inventory of Telangana The beneficiaries will be identified based on the guidelines of the schemes and relevant quantum of financial assistance will be given based on the subsidy pattern of the component of the scheme.

1. SOIL HEALTH, SOIL CONSERVATION AND FERTILIZERS
What to do? � Always use appropriate fertilizer in
right quantity based on soil test � Must use organic manures to
maintain the fertility of soil � In order to get maximum benefit of
the fertilizers, always apply in root zone instead of broadcasting.
� Resort to judicious and efficient use of phosphatic fertilizers for proper development of roots/shoots and timely maturity of crops, particularly legumes which fix atmospheric nitrogen for enrichment of soil.
� Resort to reclamation of problematic soils. For acid soils, use lime and for saline/usar soils, use gypsum.
� In addition, to protect and retore soil fertility, use of organic manues is inevitable and hence organic farming is been given due significance by the Government and the type and pattern of assistance under organic farming is elucidated below.
