7. Strategy to moisture stress & pest  Timely supply of seed to use kharif soil moisture  Tie-ups of Sprinkler irrigation scheme  Pest surviellance and advisory at field level  A3p programme and organic farming included the NPV and Pheromone traps  Extension activities for line and forrow sowing

8. Procurement of pulses  SFAC has been assigned for procurement of pulses  Market price is high compared to MSP

9. Approved Technolgy  Consultation with ICAR and SAUs Scientists  INM as per need of the state fertility  IPM Technology as per pest incidence  Varieties recommendation of Scientists taken
