19. Major Constraints in Yield Improvement of Oilseeds
Continued dependence on rainfed production system leading to larger fluctuation in area and yield with larger variation in groundnut.
Agro-climatic limitations like adaptability of mustard under saline soil / low water areas of >4 million ha; groundnut under low rainfall / drought prone areas of >2 million ha and soybean under upland black cotton soils of >10 million ha.
Farmers’ priority to cereals under irrigated condition due to assured buy back.
Availability of cheaper imported vegetable oil with admissible blending depressing domestic markets of oilseeds leading to area stagnation.
Lack of assured procurement of oilseeds.

22. Strategies for Oil Seeds
Increasing SRR with varietal replacement
Promotion of new varieties through minikits / FLDs
Area expansion under protective irrigation
Area expansion through diversification of low yielding cereals, use of rice fallows and inter cropping
Enhancing procurement of oilseeds

23. Frontier Technologies
Ridge-furrow / Broad-bed-furrow technologies in soybean and groundnut
Line sowing in mustard.
Sprinkler irrigation in groundnut and rapeseed-mustard
Use of drip irrigation and hybrid in castor
Application of gypsum in groundnut
Intercropping groundnut and soybean with arhar
