MISSION1. Organize soil testing programme such that, each farmer has Soil Health Card. 2. To assess requirements of agriculture inputs well in advance and to regulate

their production and monitor timely supply of seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, implements and credit etc., to farmers.

3. Efficient agricultural input delivery.4. Facilitate the farmer to get financial help through loans, crop insurance etc., 5. Train and motivate the farmers on INM, IPM, Water Management, Post

Harvest Technology through effective extension reach and ICT based tools. 6. Monitor the weather condition and guide the farmer suitably.7. Train the farmers in mitigating the risks of natural calamities like drought,

floods, hailstorm etc., 8. Organise pest surveillance and keep the farmer aware of the appropriate action.

VISION To enable each and every farmer achieve sustainable and economical agriculture productivity.

• Yantra Laxmi (Farm Mechanization Exhibitions)

• Established 462 Custom Hiring Stations

• Established 2748 Implement Hiring Stations (HIS) to provide employment to rural youth.

• Established 5892 Post Harvest Procurement Centers at Gram Panchayat level

• Direct sowing drum seeders - 993 (Fibre body) were introduced on large scale in the state to mitigate erratic rainfall during Kharif Season.

• In our State 3544 Rotovators and 381 power tillers are supplied during the year 2012&13 to improve the Soil conditions.

• In AP State the Agricultural labour cost is very high. The

mechanization ensures reduction of drudgery associated with

various farm operations and also economize the utilization of

inputs.

• The mechanization is necessary to enhance productivity and conservation of energy required for various operations involved in crop production, threshing, processing,

transportation, value addition, storage etc.

Importance of Farm mechanization in Andhra PradeshImportance of Farm mechanization in Andhra Pradesh

• The Concept of Custom Hiring centers introduced in Andhra Pradesh to improve the crop yield and to reduce the cost of cultivation by reducing labour charges and to create employment to rural youth.

• In Andhra Pradesh State 71 Custom Hiring centers of Paddy (SMSRI), 21 centers in Maize were established. Custom Hiring centers are also established in Cotton, Ground nut and Sugar cane crops also.

• These package of machinery provides end to end solutions to the farmers i.e., from sowing to harvesting by completing the farm operations in time.

• These centers also helped to reduce the labour shortage in farm operations and also improved the productivity of the crops in Andhra Pradesh State.

varieties for high economic returns

• Lack of improved package of

practices for all farming situations

• Use of excess seed rate and delayed

sowings

• Seed treatment not taken up

• Non Maintenance of Optimum plant

population

• Regular attack by Insects, pests,

weeds and diseases

c) Gaps Identified and Interventions proposed in pulses

Objective: Convergence of Agriculture Departmental Schemes at Village level.

• Convergence of Agriculture Departmental Schemes at Village level in a mandal to cover all the villages in 3 years with emphasis on:

• Villages with seed issues, yield gaps and pests and disease problems

• Villages with predominant area under cultivation of major three to four crops of the mandal

• Villages with maximum number of SC, ST population should be given top priority .

• Villages with Problematic soils i.e area under saline/ alkaline soils

• Joint Directors of Agriculture released the Village Action Plans to the Media in their respective districts.

Critical Interventions to increase Productivity and Production of Pulses

• Seed Replacement Ratio(SRR):33% of the cropped area • Varietal Replacement Ratio (VRR): Replacement of old varieties 15-

20 % every year with recently released varieties of less than 10 years• Seed Rolling Plan for 12th Plan has been worked out and required

quantities of breeder seed of different varieties of Rice & Pulses are indented to ANGRAU (State Agriculture University)

• Popularization of short duration varieties in water scarcity and flood prone areas.

• Popularization of Yellow Mosaic virus resistant varieties in greengram and blackgram and wilt resistant varieties in bengal gram

• Sowing through Multicrop planter for optimum population . • Popularization of pre emergence weedicides for effective control of

weeds.• Effective use of water through sprinkler sets , mobile rain guns ,

pumpsets and water carrying pipes in low water availability areas.• Capacity building : On farm training through FFS

1. Inter cropping with Red gram

2. Red gram on rice field bunds

3. Weedicides application in rice fallow Green gram and Black gram

4. Plant protection at flowering stage.

5. Increasing the area of summer pulses

37

Pulses - Critical interventions during 13-14Pulses - Critical interventions during 13-14

1. Promotion of recently released varieties

2. Encouraging Hybrid rice cultivation

3. Popularisation of direct and drum seed method

4. Creating awareness in forming alleys.

5. Weedicides application

6. Correction of zinc deficiency.

AGRISNET AGRISNET – The department portal in telugu language is enriched with

latest technical knowledge in Agriculture with lot of photos and videos.

The soil test based fertilizer recommendations are made online and sent to farmer instantly through SMS. Till date more than 15 lakh samples made online.

Online License Management System – The process of issue of Fertilizer licenses of Manufacturer, wholesale and retail dealers is automated and for every user specific time period is fixed for processing the applications, thus bringing lot of transparency in the system.

The workflow process in the fertilizer and pesticide testing laboratories is automated and the process of bar-coding of samples drawn is introduced to maintain utmost secrecy. The application is recently launched and is under trial run.

Under Mee Seva program of Govt. of AP, digital signature certificates are issued to every technical officer in field. Digitally signed certificates will be delivered through Common Service Centers established under National governance program.
