AP+ TS- Yield ( Kg/Ha)• Rabi is principally cultivated as Paddy fallow or Cotton fallow and in Kharifmajorly cultivated as a rainfed crop. Coastal pocket of Andhra is distinguished as the highest per day productivity of Corn

• With labor being intensive, farmers are incurring huge cost towards weeding operation in the form of herbicides and manual weeding but unable to get proper control

• Early shoot borer is the other important pest for which no proper control is being imparted. The ROI is good under assured irrigation but bit challenging under rainfedconditions.

• Farmers are looking for mechanized sowing and harvesting in near future.
