New initiatives introduced in 2014-15 S. No. Activity Details 1 Red gram sown on rice bunds Area of 15378 ha(Paddy crop of 1ha each) is achieved against targeted area of 8700ha with financial assistance is Rs 1000/ha (Seed Rs 300/-and Rs.700/-for 2sprays) 2 FLDs(Front line demos) Central and North coastal Districts prone to frequent cyclones and heavy rains and considerable loss of production loss due to lodging of paddy. Flood tolerant varieties like Swarna sub-1 and Samba Mahsuri sub-1 are demonstrated in 340ha. Performance compared to local popular varieties is satisfactory. Farmers willing to take up this variety next year. 3 Winnowers The Quality of produce due to inert matter and ill filled grains is not good. Since, the threshing is taken in the field. Winnowers will help in getting physically quality grains 4 Storage Bins Majority of farmers are small and marginal farmers. Department is encouraging to produce own seed by the farmer in his field. Supply of Storage Bins will help proper storage and keeping viability of seed Statement showing SRI Achievements during Kharif 2014 (area in ha) Area under Coverage under Drum Seeder Coverage under SMSRI Coverage under Direct Seeding SRI Total NFSM 2145 812 6730 400 9687 General 19029 20263 191247 16000 246539
