Area under most of the rabi crops is reported to be higher than last year except minor decline in wheat. The higher area of wheat is reported in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and West Bengal and lower area in Maharsahtra, Gujarat and Rajasthan. The area under coarse cereals, pulses and oilseeds is higher than last rabi season. The temperature during January to March, though, slightly higher than the normal, yet it has been within the range of optimum limit. Higher production of rabi pulses and oilseeds is expected Overall Scenario

-Promote Hybrid Rice under NFSM -Present Hybrid rice area is about 1 m ha -Targeted area coverage under hybrid rice in next 4 years is 3 million ha -Need to produce 4.5 lakh quintal of hybrids seed (three fold increase) -Assistance of Rs.1000/quintal for seed production is provided -Assistance available to NSC / SFCI, State, seed agencies and also private agencies for certified seed Kharif Rice
16
System of Rice Intensification SRI saves water, requires less seeds Exploit the physiological vigour. Produces 25-50% higher yield than conventional methods More head rice than conventional method Funds are earmarked for SRI Demonstrations SRI results into robust plants
17
Out Break Of Brown Plant Hopper (BPH ) The BPH is a major problem of rice in many countries. Severe BPH infestation was observed in Haryana during Kharif 2008. Strategies to Manage of BPH Pest surveillance and strict monitoring required The preventive measures like wider spacing, leaving alleys of 0.5 m after every 15-20 meter, and optimum dose of nitrogen (not beyond 120 kg/ha) should be adopted. Control measures include application of phorate 3 G @ 25 kg/ha or carbaryl 50 WP @ 1200 g/ha or other recommended insecticides. Brown Plant Hopper on Rice Plant

Kharif Maize Strategy for enhancing productivity: Promote ridge planting in eastern States to avoid water logging Increase productivity through promotion of hybrids specially single cross hybrids in all States Adopt INM as per Soil Test Report Increase the production of quality maize in hilly States to improve nutritional quality
21
-Target is to bring additional 4 million ha area in pulses under NFSM -About 2 m ha area to be increased through inter- cropping / mixed cropping -Target inter crops are - Soybean + pigeon pea in M.P. and Maharashtra, and cotton+ pigeonpea, sorghum+ pigeonpea/green gram/black gram, A.P., Gujarat and Maharashtra and groundnut with short duration pigeon pea in Gujarat, Karnataka and A.P. -Every seed of pulses to be treated with appropriate fungicide before sowing Kharif Pulses
22
-One CMS based hybrid of pigeon pea released for Gujarat i.e. GTH – 100 -Several hybrids developed by ICRISAT are under seed multiplication -Urgent need to develop efficient seed production system of hybrid pigeon pea. -Promote hybrid pigeonpea in Gujarat, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka New Hybrids of Pigeon Pea
23
Kharif Oilseeds Increase seed replacement rate in oilseeds especially groundnut and soybean Increase the area under hybrids in Sunflower Integrated nutrient and pest management Inter-cropping with pulses Control the new emerging pest in soybean - Tobacco leaf cater pillar
24
Management of Tobacco Hairy Caterpillar in Soybean Light brown moths with dark spots and longitudinal yellow lining on both the sides active during night time. Management Strategy Regular pest monitoring and assessment at every 10 days interval. Removal of egg masses at early stages Spray with pesticide i.e. Endosulfan or Deltarnathrin or Quinolphos 25 Dust endosulfan 4% or quinalphos 1.5% when their population is likely to reach 10/m row length (ETL). Repeat it as needed. Biological Control Spray bio agents like Bacillus thuringiensis and Beauveria bassiana @ 1kg or 1 lit/ha at 35-40 and 50-55 days after sowing respectively.

25
Bt. Technology has been successful in enhancing the productivity of cotton A serious problem of Mealy bugs has been observed in few states especially in Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan and Gujarat Preparedness required to manage Mealy bug which has become a serious pest Cotton
26
-Clean cultivation -Remove all debris of the previous crop well in advance -Since the infestation is sporadic remove the initial infested plants quickly -Use the appropriate pesticides at appropriate intervals -Launch a campaign for awareness among the farmers Management of Mealy Bug in Cotton
27
Some Operational Issues III. National Food Security Mission
28
Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) Availability of Micronutrients, lime and gypsum is observed to be constraint in some States : States to identify agencies for timely supply Priority areas for treatment with lime and zypsum to be identified well in advance Guidelines for incentives for micronutrients have been suitably modified

Objective and Strategy 1.Thrust on increasing productivity 2.Accelerated Production of breeder seed / foundation seed / certified seed 3.Development programmes to be extended to sunnhemp, ramie and sisal crops 4.For ramie crop, facilities to be created for production and distribution of rhizome.

32
Input Management Adequate certified seed of rice is available- against a requirement of 43.06 lakh Qtls, 47.44 lakh Qtls is available Quality seed of other crops is reported to be adequate but needs monitoring for availability at right time and places The movement of Minikit seed to be monitored on time scale
