15. Main Reasons for increased Production & Yields in Banana & Papaya  Entire additional area is Tissue Culture variety against previous suckers variety.  Comprehensive assistance programme under SHM which include improved plant material / seed, inputs including water soluble manures, Bio- Fertilizers.  100% integration with Micro Irrigation.  600 additional plants population @ 3600 plants per Ha. against normal population of 3000 plants per Ha.  Higher subsidies encouraging farmers to go for improved seed material. Eg: Taiwan Red Lady in Papaya.  Intensive crop specific training programmes on GAP & Viral Diseases Management.

16. Impact Study on Cashew Rejuvenation Program taken- up in 2006-07 in Srikakulam District of Andhra Pradesh (Case Study) Total Area Under Cashew in the District:19268 Ha. Average Productivity Per Ha.:0.599 M.T. Reasons for Low Productivity. a) Majority of the Gardens Seedling Variety. b) Rain Fed Cultivation. c) Lack of Good Agricultural Practices d) Negligence & Poor Maintenance. e) Affected with Root & Stem Borer & Tea Mosquito.

17. Area Taken-up for Rejuvenation in 1500 Ha. in 2006-07 SHM. Mode of Implementation: Selection of orchards by Technical Team. Training & Awareness Building of all the farmers. Baseline Survey of the orchards to capture the condition of the orchard & productivity. Mostly implemented in tribal areas Package including assistance for good agricultural practices, inputs like fertilizers & chemicals. Impact Observed: Impact Study done by a multi disciplinary team. Visible improvement in the condition of the garden. Incidence of Tea Mosquito & stem and root borer decreased from 30 to 10%. Yield of each cashew increased from 240 kg per Acre to 360 Kgs. Additional Income 4000 - 5000 Per Acre. Additional income by way of increased yields & reduced input cost.

18. IPM/INM in Sweet Orange Case Study of Nalgonda District Area Covered under IPM/INM in the Districts in SHM: 12030 Ha. ( 2006-07 & 2007-08 ) Status of Sweet Orange in Nalgonda  60,000 Ha is under Sweet Orange & Single largest Crop in the District  Mangumite, Dry Root Rot & Micro nutrient deficiency affecting the Survival, Production, Productivity, quality and market value of Sweet Orange.  Earlier interventions yielding positive results  Designing Package – Appropriate mix of inputs  Increased response from Sweet Orange growers Impact of IPM/ INM Intervention of 2006-07  Increased production observed in the orchards.  Incidence of mangumite & dry root rot reduced.  Correction in micro nutrient deficiencies observed.

19. Area Expansion of Horticulture Crops – Not at the Cost of Food Security Total cultivable area in Andhra Pradesh is 148.61 Lakh/Ha Total area covered by crops as on 2005-06 Agriculture – 125.18 Lakh/Ha Horticulture – 16.49 Lakh/Ha Cultivable Waste – 6.94 Lakh/Ha Area covered under Horticulture crops till 2005 - 06 - 16.49 Lakh/Ha Additional area covered under horticulture crops since inception of SHM - 1.78 Lakh /Ha. Pattern of Area Expansion Focus is on the land which is cultivable but left uncultivated. Crop diversification towards horticulture crops - replacing cotton & ground nut where risk of crop failure is more. Old & less productive orchards giving place to banana & papaya.

20. Major Initiatives in Implementation of SHM During 2007-08 1)Partnership with university, research stations to build plantation infrastructure. 2) Transparent Methodology for selection of beneficiary for private nurseries. 3) Convergence with NREGS + AP MIP. 4) 73% coverage of Small & Marginal Farmers 5) More Numbers of Input Distribution Centers. 6) Third Party Verification on the Implementation of major components & corrective action on the findings. 7) Online disbursement of financial assistance to the farmers. 8) Bio- Control Labs for university & Research Stations to ensure supply of quality Bio Inputs. 9) Major impetus for Post Harvest Infrastructure – Encourage growers cooperatives for setting up of Ripening Chambers.

21. ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 2008-’09 Approach Followed  District level workshops with stakeholders for preparation of Action Plan.  Convergence with NREGS for area expansion.  Cluster based approach for Rejuvenation under the technical guidance of Research Stations & University.  Campaign mode of implementation in IPM/INM in selected areas.  Partnership with department of Tribal Welfare for adoption of Organic Farming.  35% of total plan outlay allotted for Post Harvest, Marketing Infrastructure and Farm Machination.
