Promotion of Kharif Maize under

Crop Diversification Programe

11

• Target: 23000 ha.• Replacement of Paddy by Kharif Maize to check the indiscriminate

usage of ground water.

Crop: Rice

A. Normal Monsoon Grow all the recommended varieties of paddy with normal package of practices.

B I. Delayed onset of Monsoon

(a) 2 weeks delay Follow the practices as described in A.

(b) 3-5 weeks delay Increase area under basmati/short duration varieties or planting of 55 days old seedling, if possible, for mid duration, high yielding varieties at closer spacing.

Instead of flooding keep the soil merely wet to avoid development of cracks in soil.

Foliar application of urea 2% and 0.5% ZnSO4 to stimulate crop growth.

Ensure application of phosphatic fertilizers.

(c) 6-8 weeks delay Reduce the area under paddy according to water availability, plough up the remaining area. Take cowpea/toria/early raya (var. Pusa Agarni, JD6 upto end of Aug.), potato/fodder/baby corn hybrid maize before wheat sowing.

12Contd…….

CONTINGENCY PLAN - Crop Wise

II. Long dry spell after onset of Monsoon

(a) 2-3 weeks Delay transplanting of Basmati and short duration rice varieties up to 25th July. Transplant paddy only in that much area which can mature with available

irrigation resources. The remaining nursery seedlings should be kept in the field for further

transplanting till the rains start, but the age of the seedlings should not be more than 60 days for mid duration varieties (HKR-127, PR114, PR116, PR 118).

Maintaining optimum plant population by way of planting 2-3 seedlings per hill to maintain 30-35 plants per square metre.

Instead of flooding paddy field, keep the soil only wet to avoid cracking of soil. Keep the field weed free. Seedlings should be transplanted erect and not more than 2-3 cm deep.

(b) 4-6 weeks Increase area under basmati/short duration varieties or planting of 55-60 days old seedlings, if possible, for mid duration high yielding varieties at closer spacing.

Maintain saturation instead of flooding. Control weeds for better input use efficiency. Foliar application of urea 2% and0.5% ZnSO4 to stimulate crop growth. Ensure application of phosphatic fertilizers. Seedlings should be transplanted erect and not more than 2-3 cm deep.

III. Early withdrawal of Monsoon

Reduce the area under paddy according to water availability, plough up the remaining area. Take cowpea/toria/early raya varieties/potato/fodder/baby corn hybrid maize before wheat sowing.

Instead of flooding keep the soil merely wet to avoid cracking of soil. Foliar application of 2% urea and 0.5% ZnSO4 to stimulate crop growth.

Crop: CottonNormal monsoon season All the recommended package of practices should be followed.

Delayed onset of monsoon/ Long dry spell after sowing

a) 2 weeks delay All the recommended package of practices should be followed.

b) 3-5 weeks delay Frequent interculture operations should be followed to remove weeds and conserve soil moisture.

Thinning of crop must be done to maintain optimum plant stand.

c) 6-7 weeks delay

(Early season drought)

Light irrigation must be provided by making ridges at square formation.

Frequent inter culture operations should be followed to remove weeds and conserve soil moisture.

Thinning of crop must be done to maintain optimum plant stand. Appearance of pseudo-fruiting due to drought invites insect-pest attack

particularly spotted boll worm in non-Bt and desi cotton, which must be controlled if population reaches to threshold value (i.e. 5% flowers/squares damaged). Populations of thrips may be flared up and damage by termite may also increase in light soils.

It is expected that the population of jassid, white fly, American boll worm is likely to be less. Avoid unnecessary use of pesticides especially synthetic pyrethroids.

14Contd…….

1. Early withdrawl of monsoon(1-15 August, Mid season drought at

vegetative stage)

Follow the practices as described above in c (i) to (v). Frequent light irrigation should be applied.

Spray of 1% potassium nitrate

Spray 2% urea and 0.5 % ZnSo4

At initial stage for control of para wilt, spray of 2 g cobalt chloride in 200 litres of water / acre.

2. Terminal drought

(1-15 September, terminal drought)

Follow the practices as described above in c (i) to (v). Avoid unnecessary use of pesticides especially synthetic pyrethroids against boll worm in non-Bt and desi cotton. Frequent irrigation should be applied to Bt cotton.

Spray of 1% potassium nitrate.

Spray 2% urea and 0.5% Zn So4.

At initial stage for control of para wilt, spray of 2 g cobalt chloride in 200 litres of water /acre.

15

Crop: Bajra

A. Normal MonsoonGrow the recommended hybrids/varieties of bajra with normal package of practices. The sowing of crop should be done as and when 25-30 mm rains are received in sandy soils and 40-50 mm in sandy loam soils.

B. I. Delayed onset of Monsoon

(a) 2 weeks delayFollow the practices as described in ‘A’ and sow the seed of only those hybrids which are having maturity period < 75 days.

(b) 3-5 weeks delay

Preferably sow the crop with Ridger Seeder. Cultivate early maturing hybrids viz. HHB 67 Improved, HHB 197,

HHB 216, HHB 223, HHB 226 and HHB 234. Bajra sowing can be done latest by 1st week of August using hybrid

HHB-67 improved. Transplant 3-4 weeks old nursery raised seedlings on rainy day. Balance & adequate use of fertilizers should be used. Give light irrigation in timely sown crop if irrigation facilities are

available. Follow inter-culture operations to control weeds and conserve soil

moisture. Thinning & gap filling should be done in the timely sown crop.

(c) 6-7 weeks delay - Avoid direct sowing of bajra after 1st week of August.

16Contd…….

II. Long dry spell after sowing.

a) 2-3 weeks Follow hoeing/inter-culture operations to control weeds and conserve

moisture.

Thinning should be done to maintain optimum plant stand and apply

recommended dose of fertilizers.

b) 4-6 weeks After four weeks of sowing, survival of crop is minimal

Apply light irrigation at critical stages (tillering/flowering/grain

formation) of the crop.

In case of crop failure, re-sowing should be done with early maturing

hybrids but not beyond 1st week of August.

To save the crop, follow inter-culture operations at 3 weeks after sowing.

-Remove every third row of bajra for green fodder and make ridge and

furrow for rain water harvesting under rainfed situation.

In case of prolonged drought, skip top dressing of N. Foliar spray of 2%

urea should be preferred.

III. Early withdrawal

of Monsoon

Apply light irrigation at flowering to grain initiation stage, if it is

available

17

Crop: SugarcaneA. Normal Monsoon All the recommended varieties with normal package and practices.

B. Delayed onset of Monsoon

(a) 2 weeks delay Trash mulching (ratoon).

Keep the crop weed free.

Continue irrigation as per pre-monsoon (8-10 days) followed by inter-culture.

Earthing up should be done properly.

Apply irrigation in alternate furrows if irrigation water is scarce.

Precautions against whitefly, webbing mite, root borer and pyrilla.

(b) 3-5 weeks 1-6 Follow as given above under B (a).

7. Iron and zinc deficiency expected. Spray 1% of FeSO4 + 0.5% ZnSO4 +2 %urea

and repeat at an interval of 10-15 days, if deficiency appears.

(c) 6-8 weeks Protective irrigation at 10 days interval.

Apply irrigation in alternate furrows if irrigation water is limited.
