Participating Seed Companies are facilitating marketing by way of liaisoning with concerned market players. Seeds supplied are tested lot-wise in Seed Testing Laboratories.

6.5

The demonstration should be taken up in clusters so that minimum critical mass will be produced for proper marketing. Taking demonstration in cluster mode will also have better demonstrative effect and supplying of inputs will also be easier. The farmers in the clusters may also be organized into groups/SHGs to facilitate training, supply of inputs and marketing

Necessary action has been taken up to made to take up demonstrations in clusters or contiguous patches to ensure better input & output management and to have greater effect of the demonstration.

6.6

Poly house/ Green house should be constructed near Growth Centers rather than spreading it thinly all over the State.

The field functionaries have been instructed to promote poly/green houses in the vicinity of the growth centers. Only three Growth Center have been identified for 2010-11 namely at Cuttack, Puri & Berhampur. 130 nos of Poly houses will be constructed in these 3 Growth Centers.

In the project “Popularization of Hybrid Paddy” under PPP mode, it has been envisaged that need based pesticides, seed testing chemicals, growth hormones and bio-fertilizers shall be borne by the farmers. Chairman observed that it would be difficult for farmers to go for pest control measures etc, meeting expenses from his own source. Hence, it was suggested that within the over all cost norms, provision should be made for pest control measures. If required, number of marker and/or weeder could be reduced or part of the cost of marker and/or weeder could be borne by the concerned farmers.

The Project on “Popularization of Hybrid Paddy” has been dropped during the current year. In other similar projects provision has been kept for need based pest control measures.

6.9

The Committee observed that provision of supply of seeds under the Scheme “Up-scaling of pulse production in the State” has not been kept due to non-availability of adequate quantity of certified seeds suitable for the State of Orissa. It was decided that a proper seed multiplication programme should be put in place immediately and the details to be reported in next meeting of SLSC. OUAT should take steps to provide as much breeder seeds as required by the State Multiplication from breeder to foundation seed should be taken up in Government farms in addition to farmers’ field.

(1) Suitability trials have been started in 5 Districts namely Jharsuguda, Kalahandi, Mayurbhanj, Nayagarh & Rayagada with 5 new varieties of Moong like SML- 668, TMB-37, HUM- 16,IPM-2-3 & Neha (ii) The ICRISAT, Hyderabad has been invited and their project proposal on Chick pea and Pigeon pea through Improved Pulse Production Technology is being considered for implementation in the ensuing Kharif/Rabi 2011-12.
