Cropping System based Training 60.4200.00 6. Local Initiatives a) Assistance for construction of RCC tank of 9 Cum 102.1051.05 G. Total:- 28.8716.92 Two Crops namely Gram & Lentil are taken under Cluster Demonstration in seven district

17. iv. Steps Taken to Implement Cropping System Based Demonstration:  Selection of Area in Cluster having low productivity.  Training to Farmers.  Timely arrangements of Inputs.  Timely Sowing of Crop, use of machinery.  Weed and Nutrient Management.  Integrated Pest Management

18. v. Learning from Implementation of Coarse Cereals Component (Maize) :  Scope for Bringing more area under High Yielding Hybrid Maize Varieties.  Weed Management for higher productivity.  Integrated Pest Management & Farmers Field Schools.  100% Seed Treatment.  Balance Fertilizer use through Soil health Cards.
