Activity
Details 1
Red gram sown on rice bunds
Area of ha(Paddy crop of 1ha each) is achieved against targeted area of 8700ha with financial assistance is Rs 1000/ha (Seed Rs 300/-and Rs.700/-for 2sprays) 2
FLDs(Front line demos)
Central and North coastal Districts prone to frequent cyclones and heavy rains and considerable loss of production loss due to lodging of paddy.
Flood tolerant varieties like Swarna sub-1 and Samba Mahsuri sub-1 are demonstrated in 340ha.
Performance compared to local popular varieties is satisfactory. Farmers willing to take up this variety next year. 3
Winnowers
The Quality of produce due to inert matter and ill filled grains is not good. Since, the threshing is taken in the field.
Winnowers will help in getting physically quality grains 4
Storage Bins
Majority of farmers are small and marginal farmers. Department is encouraging to produce own seed by the farmer in his field.
Supply of Storage Bins will help proper storage and keeping viability of seed

Normal Paddy area in Kharif is lakh ha and rabi 8.05 lakh ha.Total Rice fallow Pulse in the State is 3.5 lakh ha.
0.8 lakh ha Summer Rice fallow in East and West godavari Districts.0.8 lakh ha will be covered with Summer Pulse, if the harvesting of rabi is before March 2014.
There is a potential of 2.7 lakh ha Pulse during rabi in Krishna,Guntur,Vizianagaram and Srikakulam districts.
There is scope for further increase of area in parts of Nellore and Prakasam districts also.

Selection of Districts
Instead of Ananthapur, East Godavari (upland) may be included.
Encouraging Direct Sowing/Drum Seeding
An amount of Rs. 1500/ha for hiring land preparatory equipment under general NFSM.
Pulses
Encouraging red gram on Rice & Commercial crop on bunds
An amount of Rs. 1000/ha as subsidy for seed and PP chemicals under general Pulses.
Coarse Cereals
Since, the minor millets are grown in small areas all the districts may be included.
Other inputs in subsidy
Only seed component is given under general distribution, other chemical inputs like micro nutrients, weedicides and PP chemicals may be provided under general Coarse cereals.
