A3P will be implemented on summer moong in Zaid Units (100 hac. each) have been earmarked for Summer Moong. PROGRESS UNDER ACCELERATED PULSE PRODUCTION PROGRAMME

STATUS OF PEST SURVEILLANCE N A3P DURING The summer Moong is a short duration crop.There was no chance of major pest and disease in Summer Moong crop during Keeping in view the money meant for Pest Surveillance was diverted to increase the area under Summer Moong under A3P form 1000 hectare to 1400hectare. Summer Moong is attacked by two insect pests i.e. Thrip and American Pod Borer and sometime hairy caterpillar.For the control of these insects the insecticide and bio- pesticide was purchased under A3P and these pesticides were distributed timely among the farmers for the control of these insects.

PROGRESS UNDER ADDITIONAL PROGRAM OF PULSES About 90 thousand ha area under summer moong (zaid rabi) Crop diversification programme to reduce area under paddy is being chalked out and major thrust is to promote pulses in the State

STRATEGIES FOR RABI  Capacity building of field functionaries and farmers  Improvement in SRR and VRR  Replacement of PBW-343 in semi-hilly areas to arrest the incidence of yellow rust.  Campaign for 100% Seed Treatment during the sowing season.  Timely sowing by ensuring timely and adequate availability of inputs.  Balanced use of nutrients for improving factor productivity  Distribution of Micronutrients on 50% subsidy  Supply of fungicide to Control of yellow rust at 50 % cost  Propagation of Resource Conservation Technologies.

STATUS OF ONLINE SUBMISSION OF PROGRESS REPORT The Quarterly Progress Reports of NFSM (Wheat and Pulses) are submitted online from State and Districts.

STATUS OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT TEAM The Project Management Teams have been constituted in the concerned Districts.

BRIEF OVER-VIEW OF NFSM & A3P Wheat area Increased by 2.61%. Wheat production increased by 24.10%. Wheat productivity increased in all the districts ranges from 16.70% to 24.30%. (Overall increase: 20.90%) Ever highest contribution of wheat to central pool during Increase in area and production of pulses by 101 % and 104% respectively. Soil health improvement and Reduction in cost of cultivation.

SPECIFIC ISSUES AND SUGGESTIONS Allocation of funds for special component required to be reduced from 29% to 5%. Provision for technical staff on regular basis. More funds for machinery component.
