10. Productivity Enhancement and Increase of Production in Pulses Through
1.Cropping system approach. 2.Replacement of Varieties. 3.Weed management 4.Nutrition Management. 5.Pest and Disease Management 6.Farm Mechanization 7.Post harvest.

11. 1.Cropping Systems Approach
Exploiting the possibility of growing two crops under rainfed conditions during kharif.
Greengram/Blackgram followed by Groundnut/Maize/Chillies.
Maize/Groundnut followed by Greengram/Blackgram/Bengal gram
Intercrop of Red gram with Groundnut (1:7), Greengram / Blackgram(1:7),Maize/Jowar/bajra(1:2)
Note:
Most of the farmers preferring intercrop of Red gram instead of sole crop where no water source is available.

12. Inter crop of Red Gram and Jowar (Guntur district)
Sole crop of Red Gram (Kurnool (district)

13. 2. Replacement of Varieties
Replacement of existing varieties with recently released (less than 10 years) high yielding varieties.
(Blackgram- PU-31,LBG-752 Greengram TMB-37,LGG-460,Red gram LRG-41,Bengalgram JAKI 9218) 
Selection of Greengram and Blackgram based on the soil type and ecological conditions with appropriate variety (Greengram in light soils and Blackgram in medium to heavy soils.
Varieties with smooth pods are preferred during kharif to minimize the absorption of water and insitu germination.(LGG-460,LBG-752,LGG-685)
Varieties with Synchronization of flowering and erect type are preferred to facilitate mechanical harvesting.(LGG-460,LBG-752)
Varieties resistant to Yellow Mosaic Virus/Powdery Mildew in Greengram and Blackgram(MGG-347,PU-1)
Varieties resistant to Wilt in Red gram and Bengalgram. Short duration varieties of Red gram less than 150 days duration to avoid terminal moisture stress.(LRG-41,PRG-158.ICPL-85063)

Remarks:
Groundnut area covered in 69% to seasonal normal area due to low rainfall received in Rayalaseema region.
Rayalaseema dist (Anantapur) farmers were advised to go for contingency crops like millets and short duration pulse crops instead of delayed sowing of Groundnut.

37. Productivity Enhancement and Increase of Production in Oilseeds through
1.Cropping system approach. 2.Replacement of Varieties. 3.Weed management 4.Nutrition Management. 5.Pest and Disease Management 6.Farm Mechanization 7.Post harvest.

38. 1.Cropping Systems Approach
Exploiting the possibility of growing two crops under rainfed conditions during kharif.
Crop rotation with groundnut/ finger millet/ sorghum/ chickpea/ soybean are effective.
Intercropping of Groundnut with Castor and Redgram ( 7: 1 )
2.Replacement of Varieties
Replacement of existing varieties with recently released (less than 10 years) high yielding varieties.
The old varieties like TMV 2 and JL24 are replaced with K6 and promoting new varieties like K9, ICGV 91114, TAG 24, Anantha, Kadiri ,Haritandra.
In North Coastal districts it is planned for supply of new short duration varieties like Grieshma, Rohini, Dharani, K9, Anantha, Kadiri, Haritandra which helps in escaping from major diseases (leaf spot).

39. 3.Weed Management
Main reason for low productivity in Oilseeds both in Kharif and Rabi is due to excessive Weed growth.
Due to shortage of Agriculture Labour and the increased wages, the hand weeding and hoeing is not possible at appropriate stage of crop growth.
Timely Intercultivation can be done to reduce weed competition for which low cost implements may be popularized.
Encouragement of Weed management through weedicides (Preemergence and Post emergence).
