(A) General Practices  Land shaping and soil conservation including contour bonding should be practiced on a watershed basis.  Adequate water harvesting and water storage practices should be adopted for use at later stages as supplementary irrigations.  Land preparation operations should be completed before on-set of monsoon so that timely sowing can be done with soaking rains.  Set rows if practiced should be across the general slope of the field.  Organic manure like F.Y.M. and compost manure and recommended dose of fertilizer should be applied.  Sowing of groundnut, pearl-millet, sorghum and cotton with the onset of monsoon is quite necessary.  Proper plant stand establishment will help in making full use of limited water available for the crops.  Inter-culturing and weeding should be done timely.  Seed treatment and timely plant protection measures should be adopted.  Mixed/inter-cropping practices are profitable.0

To minimize risk under sole crop of groundnut inter-cropping of groundnut and castor in 3:1 ratio of crop rows in retentive soils should be followed. Mixed/inter-cropping system should be included in the farm planning 1. Cotton + groundnut in 2:1 ratio 2. Groundnut + pigeon pea in 3:1 ratio 3. Pearl millet + Pigeon pea in 2:1 ratio 4. Groundnut + Castor in 3:1 ratio 5. Maize + Tur in 1:1 ratio, 6. Drilled Paddy + Tur in 2:1 ratio Excessive inter culturing does not help in increasing crop yields so, does not do this operation frequently

Sorghum : CSH-6, CFS-4, 5, GFAS-11 Black gram : T-9, Gujarat Black gram 1 and 2 Green gram : Gujarat-2, GM-4 Sesamum : Gujarat sesame-1,2,3 Castor : GCH-2, GCH-4, GCH-5, GCH-6 and GCH-7 Pigeon pea : BDN-2 & GT-100, GT-1, ICPL-87 Under delayed rainfall conditions, sorghum is better than pearl millet. Sesamum : Purva-1 Castor : GCH-2, GCH-4, GCH-5, GCH-6, GCH-7 Sorghum : Fodder type If rains are delayed till last week of July, it is not suggested to sow groundnut, pearl millet or sorghum (Grain purpose).

Name of CropNormal Sowing Area Possible areas of main crops, if rain occur upto 15th July31st July15th August31st August Cotton If on set of monsoon after 15 August to 31 st August only Pulses (Moong, Muth, Udid), seasamum, castor, soyabean & Fodder can be sown Groundnut Paddy Bajara Jowar Maize Tur Moong Muth Udid Seasamum Castor Soyabean Fodder Total In Lakh Ha.

Thinning the plant population Minimize evaporation losses through complete removal of weeds. Apply supplementary irrigation at critical stages if water available Harvest at intervals as the plants show physiological maturity. Run-off collections in the early part of the monsoon can be used for supplemental irrigation in the later part of the crops life cycle.
