Availability of Linseed seed is an issue

IssuesFertilizer• MRP Rationalization of N, P & K fertilizers• Fright rate concern?• Fertilizer lift from Rake point by W/s & R/s?

Seed subsidy• Increase subsidy on cereal and pulses seeds as its base price high• Power driven dibbler for wheat

New varieties• Heat tolerant cultivars in Wheat• Short duration with high yield potential in Wheat

Seed availability• More varieties suitable for Nutri farms

Moisture in field• Plan to prepone Rabi, If there is no Rainfall in the1st week of

October, moisture will be an issue
