STRATEGIES FOR IMPROVEMENT OF KHARIF CROPS (2014) RICE Focus would be to reduce the area of Rice to shift towards other alternate crops. Focus on Hybrid seeds of coarse Rice . Focus on DSR in Basmati Rice (50% area). Paddy transplanters will be provided on subsidized rate. COTTON Bt. Cotton is covering more than 95% area. Drip Irrigation System would be trialed in some areas (1000 ha). Relay Cropping of Wheat in Cotton will be promoted (1500 ha). Special emphasis would be given towards Weed Management. Preventive Measures would be adopted in advance for the control of CLCV. Trainings , FFS and IPM Programs will be promoted.

Maize Bajra Sugar Cane 50000 ha area would be covered during 2013-14 . Benefits from the CDP will be given to the farmers. Farmers will be motivated through training programs. More efforts would be made to divert from Rice to Maize. Bajra Hybrid varieties for rain fed and irrigated areas having good yield potential will be promoted. Sugar Cane State Advised Price at Rs. 301/-, 295/- and 290/- for Early, Mid and Late sown varieties (one of highest in the country). Ring Pit System being promoted. An amount of Rs. 8000/- per acre as an incentive is given to the farmers for the Ring Pit Method.

OTHER STRATEGIES Package of practices Advisories Contingent Plan Workshop of Kharif campaign will be organized in the coming week time in SAU. All packages of practices will be finalized and would be extended to the field functionaries for the use of farmers. Advisories Crop and Area specific advisories as per the situation will be prepared by the Department in consultation with CCSHAU, Hisar and will be disseminated to field functionaries for the use of farmers. Contingent Plan In each season, for Kharif also a contingent plan is prepared and sent to the DDAs for further implementation in the fields for the use of farmers. This year also the contingent plan has already prepared.
