Pulses promotion strategy 2010-11

Addressing constraints programmatically

Doubling the yields

• Pulse promotion programs have been rationalized– Better Accountability– Strengthened with more fund flow

• Implementation strategies– Institutional support– Integrated approach

• Marketing support

Area and Production

Pulses crops

Seasonal Distribution

Schemes• National Food Security Mission

– Strengthened with merger of ISOPOM components relating to Pulses

– Coverage extended to all the districts of the ISOPOM States plus Jharkhand and Assam - 98% total area

– Accelerated Pulses Production Program for intensive work in 1000 compact blocks of 1000 hectares each

• Macro Management Scheme– Integrated Cereals Production Program for Pulses in non NFSM

States• Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana

– Earmarked funds for development of 60,000 pulses and oilseeds villages

Strategy

• Area expansion in Rainfed Rice Fallows, Intercropping and as summer crop in rice wheat farming system

• Bridging the yield gaps

Technology gaps from FLDs

Ideal Practice Perception

5 mt FYM at the time of soil preparation SOME WHAT

Seed treatment with Rhizobium & Trichoderma LOW

DAP basal @ 50 kg/acre Significantly LOW

Line sowing at defined spacing GAP

Life Irrigation GAP

Weed management on 15 and 30th day of sowing SOME WHAT

Foliar application of nutrients at 30 & 45 DAS. GAP

Plant growth nutrients GAP

Plant protection - Insect control LOW

Plant protection – Disease control GAP

Water Management using sprinklers GAP

Mechanized Threshing GAP

Procurement at door step GAP

Programs

• Farm Machinery– Land preparation, moisture conservation, flood

management, mulching• Rotavators, ridge and furrow planters, zero till seed

drills, water pumps, sprinklers, pipes for carrying water, pesticide sprayers

Estimation by Dr.Ramesh Chand, Director NCAP

Returns from Pulses Crops

Expert Group on Pulses• Under Dr. Y. K. Alagh with members from Policy, Research, Trade and

Development• To evolve medium term strategy to reduce demand supply gap; 3 years

timeframe; research products 5 years• Seven sub groups formed to look at

– potential additional area – CEO NRAA – seed development – VC, MPKY – Practices – Agriculture Commissioner, DAC– research agenda – ADG, Seeds ICAR – Trade policy – Chairman CACP and IFPRI India– Business model – Tata Chemical Ltd– Communication strategy – DDG, Extension ICAR

• Report expected by December 2010

Key implementation issues

• Institutional Support– Input supplies especially on seeds– Pest monitoring, surveillance and control– Extension of practices

• Integrated development– Production, protection and market– Schemes – NREGS, RKVY, IWMS, Micro Irrigation– Credit and Insurance support– Private sector participation

Need proof of concepts

• IIPR, ICRISAT and ICARDA for taking up pilots in potential areas for different crops

• National Bee Board on yield gains with Bees• NCIPM on timely advisory and ensuring

application of right and quality pesticides• Environment Ministry for implementable

options to control blue bull menace• Watershed plus models showing yield gains

Best Practices

• MPKV Rahuri on Pigeon pea yield gains through water use efficiency

• Hybrid Pigeon pea production by ICRISAT• Transplantation of Pigeon pea• Hybrid Rice – Chickpea farming system in

Chhattisgarh• Private Sector Initiative on ‘Grow more pulses’
