35. 2. LASER LAND LEVELER (Introduced in 2007-08) 35 Water Saving 25-35%. Increases in Production 6-8%. Reduces consumption of fertilizer and pesticides 18-20%. Saving in Electricity and Diesel. Desired slope can be maintained to drain out the excess water in heavy rainfall areas. Increase in irrigated area/command area. Precise level is maintained for three years.

36. 3. PROMOTION OF DSR (Introduced in 2012-13) 36

40. Performance of DSR - 2012 CropDSR methodTraditional method Basmati varieties (Pusa-1121, CSR-30) 34503575 Non-Basmati varieties (HKR-47, HKR-127) 62006350 Hybrid varieties (Arize-6129, Dhanya-834, RH-257 62506570 40 ( Yield kg/ha.) Total Demonstrations: 21,000

41. ADVANTAGE OF DSR 41 Saving in water 20-30%. Reduces drudgery and labour requirements. Reduction in cost of cultivation. Early maturity seven to ten days than transplanted method. No need to prepare seed bed. No need to grow nursery/ seedlings. Yield of DSR is almost at par with traditional method. Plan to bring 50 % Basmati area under DSR during 12 th Plan.

42. 42 ISSUES Yellow rust reported in Ambala, Y. Nagar, Panchkula, Karnal, Kurukshetra, Sirsa & Panipat districts (in pockets and patches). PBW-550, WH-711, DBW-17, HD-2967 & HD-2851 mainly affected. Adequate steps taken. Propiconazole supplied at 50 % to affected farmers. Incidence of Yellow Rust is a serious problem. Adequate availability of seed of resistant varieties of wheat should be ensured in the next season so as susceptible area may be saturated with the seed of resistant varieties. Adequate No. of minikits of wheat variety HD-2967 & PBW-621 should be allocated during next year & size of minikit should be minimum half acre. Certified seed of pulses is very costly & subsidy provided by GOI for seed of pulses is 50% or Rs.1200 per qtl. whichever is less which is very small. It should be enhanced to 50 % of the cost of the seed without any cap.
