GAPS IN AGRICULTURE• Crop sequence & crop rotation
Continuous mono cropping Non remunerative crop sequenceNon adoption of intercropping for sustainable production
• Poor Soil Health ManagementDegradation of organic matterMicro nutrient deficiencyPoor Soil physical propertiesExistence of saline and alkaline soils
19
GAPS IN AGRICULTURE• Indiscriminate use of pesticides & Fertilizers
Top dressing of Phosphatic FertilizersImproper selection of pesticidesImproper pesticide dosages Timely applicationImbalanced use of NPKExcess use of urea
• Extension system:Man power resourcesDissemination of Technologies to the farmers
20
MAJOR STRATEGIES
A)Micro nutrients:
Massive Soil Health Campaign – Collected 840 soil samples
during 2015-16 through GPS.
Planning for distribution of Micronutrients to 3000 ha.
Already distributed 30 MTs of Zinc Sulphate and 17Qtls of
Boron.
B) Village level Action Plan has been prepared for 14
villages to address the gaps in productivity.
21
Major Strategies for achieving double digit growth
C) Crop wise strategies for increasing productivity in each crop
by adopting good agricultural practices with emphasis on
reducing cost of cultivation.
Focus on reducing cost of cultivation by adopting methods like:
Drum Sedding (500 ha) direct seeding in paddy (1000 ha), zero
tillage in maize (2800 ha.), pulses in rice fallows (1500 ha), etc.
22
Major Strategies
D) Organic Farming/ Natural
farming:
1. Popularizing use of different organic manures like vermi
compost, bio fungicides & bio pesticides like trichoderma
viridi, pseudomonas, neem oil.
2. Integration of NPM for quality produce in different crops
3. Using RMGs as platform for promoting organic farming.
23
Major Strategies
E) Extension:
• Improving Extension Reach by Polam Pilusthondi, Chandranna Rythu Kshetralu in different crops for increasing productivity.
• Focus on Organic Farming - Reduction in use of chemical fertilizers and reduction in use of unnecessary pesticides.
F) Farm Mechanization:
Promoting improved Farm
Mechanization to supply farm
implements on subsidy to reduce the
cost of farm operations.

CROP WISE INTERVENTIONS TO ACHIEVE DOUBLE DIGIT GROWTH
Major Production Gaps proposed for correction
which contribute for increase in growth
Technological Intervension Proposed to bridge the gap % of Area proposed to cover with
intervention (in ha.)
Lack of awareness on soil health
Creating awareness on soil health through soil testing and also on usage of micronutrients like Zinc and Gypsum. Yield increase by 15 to 20%
30-40%
Non application of organic manure and bio-fertilizers
Creating awareness on use of vermin compost, and growing of green manure crops and application of organic manures. Yield increase by 10-15%
25-30%
Application of phosphatic fertilizers as top dressing
Educating the farmers on basal application of Phosphatic fertilizers and creating awareness on negative effects of Topdressing, use of Phosphorus Solubilizing Bacteria (PSB). Cost reduction by 5-10%
25-30%
Seed treatment with bio fungicides is not practiced
Awareness on use of Bio fungicides like pseudomonas for seed treatment in Paddy.
Optimum plant population not followed
Encouraging Direct sowing with Seed Drills and Cost reduction by 20-25%
45-50%
Rodent damageTrainings, Mass Campaigns and supply of rodenticide on whole village approach

Cont.….
Major Production Gaps proposed for correction
which contribute for increase in growth
Technological Intervension Proposed to bridge the gap % of Area proposed to cover with
intervention (in ha.)
High cost of cultivationPromoting direct sowing and Farm Mechanization from land preparation to harvesting, thereby reducing cost of cultivation by 30-40% and increasing the productivity by 5-10%
5-10%
Lack of Awareness on weed management
Trainings on weed management in paddy, which contributes 10% yield increase.
Existence of Saline and alkaline soils
Creating awareness on reclamation of these problematic soils through use of Gypsum, Vermi compost
Lack of awareness on disease resistance
Promoting basal application of “K” fertilizers and creating awareness on how K fertilizers increase disease resistance
Water shortage in tail end areas
Promoting direct seeding in paddy
