ISSUES AND PROBLEMS Under NFSM ,percentage share of SC component . Non –procurement of other alternate crops i.e oil seed and pulses at

MSP. Climate change.

Degradation and over exploitation of natural resources i.e soil and water. Lack of storage facilities for food grains. Water logging and salinity in south- western districts. Declining arable land area . Technology fatigue . Insufficient Migratory labour in Agriculture sector . Environmental Pollution

Suggestions • Provision of adequate funds for research and

development in crop improvement ,natural resource management and climate change adaptation .

• Strengthening of scientific storage facilities and cold chain infrastructure.

• Establishment of Agro- processing units in Rural Sector.

• Assured procurement of diversified crops at MSP to promote diversification.

STRATEGIES FOR RESOURCE MANAGEMENT FOR BETTER

INPUT USE EFFICIENCY

NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

• Promoting use of bio-fertilizers to reduce dependence on chemical fertilizers

• Promotion of crop residue based mulches - enhance water use efficiency and weed management

• Promotion of conjunctive use of brackish and good quality water and for management of brackish water in S-W Punjab

RATIONAL USE SALINE AND SODIC WATER

About 42% underground waters are of poor irrigation quality

Soil test based gypsum application Use technology for use of poor quality

water and organic manures Incorporation of crop residue

MANAGEMENT OF RAIN WATER IN KANDI TRACT - Recharging

• Leveling the undulating fields• Proper bunding of the fields • Short duration crops/varieties cultivation• Early sowing of crops • Mulching with locally available biomass• Rain water harvesting in small ponds

WheatUse Happy Seeder machine for sowing of

wheat in combine harvested paddy fields without any straw burning or removal.

In heavy soils, sow wheat on beds with bed planter.

Use of leaf colour chart (LCC) for need based fertilizer nitrogen application.

For efficient use of irrigation water, make 8 plots per acre in heavy textured soils and 16 plots peer acre in light textured soils.

SPRING MAIZE

• Ridge and bed planting give significantly higher grain yield and water use efficiency than flat sown.

• Drip irrigation saves about 40% irrigation water as compared to flood irrigation.

• Application of straw mulch @ 6 t/ha results in saving of 18-20 cm of irrigation water.

• Use of leaf colour chart (LCC) for need based fertilizer nitrogen application.

PULSES

Sow two rows of gram on raised beds, after rice particularly on heavy soils. Inoculate the seed of gram with Mesorhizobium culture / Mesorhizobium and Rhizobacterium cultures at the time of sowing for getting higher productivity of gram.. Treat the lentil seed before sowing with the recommended Rhizobium culture
