3. REASONS FOR LOW PRODUCTIVITY
Delayed/Prolonged sowing
Low seed/varietal replacement
Mono cropping and lack of crop rotation
Non adoption of recommended POP
Poor farm mechanization
Imbalanced use of nutrients
Poor weed / pests & diseases management
Lack of water management
No assured procurement

4. Major recommendations Pulses & oilseeds
Adoption of seed rolling plan, indent & lifting of Breeder seeds
One year advance indent of desired varieties to public and private seed agencies through MoU
Strengthening of quality bio fertilizer/bio agent production and utilization
Soil test based nutrient applications including micronutrients
Adoption of line sowing , BBF, raised - bed & ridge - furrow planting techniques

5. Major recommendations Pulses & oilseeds
Convergence of TSP funds with NFSM to increase mechanisation
Cultivation under new niches – sole, catch crop, relay crop
Utilization of rice fallow and spring/summer pulses and oilseeds
Adoption of short duration of paddy varieties to accommodate pulses & oilseeds
Double crop sequence under rainfed conditions like greengram followed by Bengal gram .

6. Major recommendations Pulses & Oilseeds
Transplanting and dibbling method of Tur, R&M can be promoted through demonstrations.
Promotion of Tur on rice and commercial crop bunds.
Exploitation of area potential under intercropping especially in MP.
Use of sprinkler and raingun as per MNSA norms.
Convergence of MGNREGA and other schemes for creation of farm ponds to ensure protective irrigation.

7. Major recommendations Pulses & Oilseeds
Create awareness on pre and post emergence (emizathyper in soybean) weedicides.
Promotion of spiral graders for grading farmers own seeds.
Screening and identification of potential local cultivars/ germplasm.
Promote low ODAP varieties in Lathyrus.
Advance payment for Breeder Seed procurement
