Increasing the area under pulses in Rice fallows in 4.0lakh ha.
Popularization intercropping of Red gram with other pulses and oilseed crops like ground nut in Anantapur districts.
I ncreasing the area of Green gram & Black gram during summer (11000 ha).
Raising Red gram on Rice bunds (15870 ha).
Growing short duration varieties of millets and pulses in remain unsown during kharif 2014 as contingent crop.

9. Impact of NFSM on pulses
Popularization of redgram on rice and commercial crop bunds in 15870ha during kharif. it is proposed to cover 40,000/ha during kharif.
Popularization of red gram as inter crop with Ground nut, Cotton, Black gram/Green gram and millets.
The productivity of pulses compared to with
Increase in area of 1.15 lakh ha of Black gram/Green gram in rice fallow and during summer compared to last year
It is proposed to cover 40,000ha as summer pulse during , and till now it is covered in an area of 52850ha .
An area of ha was covered under millets and short duration pulses as contingent crop in delayed & low rain fall areas.
Timely spraying of Neem oil in redgram reduced the incidence of pod borer.
Spraying of 2% urea solution during Kharif to withstand intermittent drought.

10. Strategies for Red gram
Promoting inter cropping of Red gram with other crops like G.nut, Commercial crops (cotton&Mesta)
Timely pest management through Neem Oil at Flower bud 5 ml/lit to reduce Maruca
Growing f Hybrid red gram (ICPH-2740,ICPH-2671)on Rice and commercial crops field bunds
Promotion of short duration variety PRG-158 in low rainfall & terminal moisture stress areas.
Promotion of transplanted red gram.

14. Strategies for Black gram& Green gram
Foliar nutrition of 10g/lit in Saline Soils.
Increasing the area in rice fallows and as summer pulse.
Two crop sequence under rainfed during kharif/rabi in place of monocropping (Green gram followed by bengal gram)

15. Strategies for Bengal gram
Drought tolerant,high yeilding wilt tolerant varieties.
Growing preceding short duration kharif crop (blackgram/greengeam/setaria) to increase the net returns per unit area.
