1. ADDITIONAL AREA
• 200 ha of additional area targeted to cover during 2015-16 compared to 2014-15
7
A. SOIL TEST BASED FERTILIZER APPLICATION:
SOIL ANALYSIS • 3 GPS instruments have been supplied to the department officials for
using in soil sampling• During 2015-16 it is planned to collect 542 soil samples @ 30
samples / revenue village by using GPS instruments. • Campaigns are being conducted to create awareness on importance
& process of soil sampling to be adopted.• Companies/ Registered NGO’s/Institutes/Associations/Organizations
etc. having experience of satisfactory and successful work in rural areas of AP are invited for soil testing on PPP mode.
• Immediately after analysis the results will be communicated online and viewed at Agrisnet portal.
• Besides SMS soil analysis results will be send to farmers mobile in telugu immediately after analysis.
2. SOIL HEALTH & MICRONUTRIENTS
8
B. SOIL HEALTH CARDS
• Soil health cards will be distributed to farmers before commencement of sowings. Village level interactive meetings will be arranged on Soil health status and recommendations to promote balanced fertilization.
• Village level soil fertility maps will be prepared based on the soil analysis results.
• Based on analysis results the required quantities of micronutrients will be distributed to farmers on 50% subsidy.
• In association with ICRISAT as knowledge partner , the soil sample analysis of for micronutrients is taken up at ICRISAT laboratory
Saturation in Supply of Micronutrients in deficit areasC. Soil Organic matter:• To improve the status of Soil organic matter and thereby
improve response to the applied nutrients 40.20 Qtls. of Green manure seed is being supplied during the year 2015-16.

3. SEED & VARIETAL REPLACEMENT

4. GOOD AGRONOMICAL PRACTICES
•Crop sequence & crop rotation Double Cropping in Rainfed condition Encouraging Rice shallow and Summer pulse Promotion of ID crops during Rabi instead of Rice
Raising Redgram on Rice and commercial crop
bunds
11
5. BRINGING DOWN COST OF CULTIVATION – INM & NPM (IPM)
1. Soil Test Based Nutrient recommendation
2. Reducing excessive use of nitrogen
3. Control on indiscriminate use of Pesticide
4. Promotion of Non-Pesticide Management (NPM)
5. Popularizing different methods of organic inputs like vermi compost ,FYM, neem coated urea, neem cake, bio agents & bio pesticides
12
6. STRENGTHENING OF EXTENSION
•Intensifying Polam Pilusthondi Program and developing measurable indicators for assessing the impact of different interventions like pest & disease control, selection of right chemical & dosage, balanced use of fertilizers, varietal replacement etc.
• Chandranna Rythu Kshetralu of 25 acres each are organized @ 1 per each ADA, MAO and AEO. Best management practices are demonstrated in each crop for increasing production and productivity levels. It is programmed to organize 4 CRKs in the mandal.
13Contd;
• Village level Action Plan is being prepared to address the gaps in productivity. The interventions for this are : Polam Pilusthondi, Chandranna Rythu Kshethralu and Polambadi programmes.
• Placement of MPEOs will strengthen the extension reach to Village level and regular contact with farmers.
• It is planned to appoint Farmers facilitators of 5 Nos. under INM to promote Micronutrients .
14
7. FARM MECHANISATION
• Promoting improved Farm Mechanization to reduce cost of farm operations by providing Rs 10.981lakhs as subsidy.
• Harvest & Post harvest equipment like Tarpaulins, Combined harvesters, maize sellers and Post harvest procurement centers being promoted.

8. IT Applications:
Contd…..
Promoting Direct Seeding/drum seeding/MSRI for cost reduction and timely sowing. Yield increase 5-10% and cost reduction 10%.
Adoption of flood and lodging tolerant rice varieties in flood and cyclone prone areas – increases of yield by 20 – 25% (4-5 Q/acre) with varieties :MTU 1064, MTU 1061, Swarna Sub I A
Large scale farm mechanization using rotavators, appropriate translators, plant protection equipment and harvesters reduce the cost of cultivation by 10% (labour etc) and yield by 5 – 10% (2-3Q/ha)
INTRODUCING IMPROVED MANAGEMENT PRACTICES RICE
Reducing the use of ‘P’ fertilizes to 1/3 based on soil test, use of P-solubelizing bacteria and conjunctive use of organic and inorganic fertilizers increase soil microbial and fertility status besides reducing cost of inputs by 5-10% and improving soil health and productivity.

CONCLUSION
23
During the year 2015-16 it is proposed to enhance 6.06% of area over 2014-15.
It is targeted to increase of 16.66% production from12,375 MT during 2014-15 to 14,437MT in 2015-16.
Propose to replace with new varieties/quality seed in 50 ha. in Paddy.
Planned to apply Micro Nutrients Gypsum, Zinc Sulphate and Boron in an area of 500 ha. by which 8-10% of additional yield may be achieved.
Awareness will be created in the farming community through Polam Pilusthondi, Chandranna Rythu Kshetralu and various training programmes on good agricultural practices by which reduction in cost of cultivation and usage of chemical fertilisers.
In Paddy 16.66% yield increase is expected during 2015-16 to previous year
By adopting all the strategies and interventions in the mandal it is aimed to achieve in growth rate of 16.66% in production in identified growth engines.
