promotion of pulses thr’ intercropping in kharif in maharashtra
TRANSCRIPT
(a) Source of Protein (fat free, low carbohydrates), fibers , minerals and vitamins(b) Improve soil fertility, physical and chemical texture(c) Fit well in different cropping systems - sustainability
UN General Assembly adopted to observe 2016 as International Year of Pulses (IYOP 2016)
Why ?To create awareness in public for usefulness of Pulses

Source: Second advance estimates of 2014-15
1. Soybean + Pigeon pea (Tur) (2:1)
About 30% area of Soybean(3801400 ha) to be covered under intercropping i.e. about 10 lakh ha
More Focus on Vidarbha and Marathwada regions Row Spacing: Soybean: 45-90 cm and Tur: 135 cm Planting by BBF planter Expected yield: 8 Qt/ha
IDENTIFIED CROPPING SYSTEMS
2. Cotton + Green Gram (Moong)/ Black Gram(Udid)
(1:1 betn two cotton rows@ 90 cm)
About 10% area of cotton (4192100 ha) to be covered under intercropping i.e. about 4 lakh ha One row of Mung between two rows of cotton with normal spacing of 90 cm Row Spacing: Moong/ Udid: 90cm &Cotton: 90cm Planting by BBF planter Expected yield: 2.5 Qtl/ha
IDENTIFIED CROPPING SYSTEMS
State level orientation workshop involving all stakeholders
Development of Package of Practices
Identification of critical inputs & essential technologies
Training of farmers/ FPOs/ FPCs & ext. functionaries
Organisation of Cluster Demonstrations
Organisation of Farmers- Scientists-Marketers/Processors interaction meets
Assessment of yields from intercropped area
Impact evaluation
Popularisation of improved/ hybrid varieties
Use of Broad Bed Furrow (BBF) Planter
Soil Health Card (SHC) based nutrition management
Use of fungicide/ trichoderma for seed treatment
Use of IPM technologies
Support to setting up of mini Dal Mills for value addition
Facilitation for establishment of market linkages
