Aerobic rice
Rice –
1. Adopt alternate wetting and dryingupto primordial initiation stage tosave water
2. Irrigate upto a depth of 3 – 5 cmfrom primordial initiation tomaturity
3. Take up effective weed controlmeasures either mechanically orthrough herbicides as the problemof weeds is more under alternatewetting and drying method ofirrigation
Rice - Farmers should be careful inweed management as weeds are themajor threat to crop under alternatewetting and drying method ofirrigation. They should be properlyeducated and trained in use ofsuitable chemical and mechanicalcontrol measures
Rice fallows
1. Crops like maize which requiremore water should be avoided
2. Crops like Greengram, Blackgram,Jowar, Bajra etc. which require lesswater than Maize may be grown
3. Short duration varieties of cropsshould be selected.
Rice fallows –
1. Availability of seed of shortduration varieties should beensured through linkage withNFSM
2. Micro irrigation systems –Sprinkler and Drip under differentgovernment schemes may beextended.
-
21
4. Water saving micro irrigationsystems like Sprinkler irrigation forGrengram and Blackgram may befollowed
5. In crops like Bajra and Jowar, waterconservation practices like intercultivation, earthing up, alternaterow irrigation may be practiced
6. Water loss in open field channelsduring conveyance can be reducedby using PVC/metallic pipes.

2.5 Detailed Contingency strategies for Livestock, Poultry & Fisheries
Suggested contingency measures
Before the event During the event After the event
Drought
Feed and Fodderavailability
Establishment of silvi-pastoral system in CPRswith Stylosanthus hamata and Cenchrusciliaris as grass with Leucaena leucocephala astree component (or suggest suitable similarsystem to your district)
Top dressing of N in 2-3 split doses @ 20-25kg N/ha in common property resources (CPRs)like temple lands, panchyat lands or privateproperty resources (PPRs) like waste anddegraded lands with the monsoon pattern forhigher biomass production
Promote cultivation of short duration foddercrops of sorghum/bajra/maize(UP chari, MPchari, HC-136, HD-2, GAINT BAJRA, L-74,K-677, Ananad/African Tall, Kisan composite,Moti, Manjari, B1-7 and also sunhemp
Chopping of fodder should be made asmandatory in every village through supply andestablishment of good quality chaff cutters.
Harvesting and collection of perennialvegetation particularly grasses which growduring monsoon
Proper drying, bailing and densification ofharvested grass from previous season
Creation of permanent fodder, feed and fodderseed banks in all drought prone villages
Harvest and use biomass of dried up crops(Rice, Maize, Bajra, Horse gram,Groundnut, black gram, sun hemp) materialas fodder.
Harvest the tree fodder (Neem, Subabul,Acasia, Pipal etc) and unconventional feedsresources available and use as fodder forlivestock (LS).
Available feed and fodder should be cutfrom CPRs and stall fed in order to reducethe energy requirements of the animals
UMMB, hay, concentrates and vitamin &mineral mixture should be transported tothe needy areas from the reserves at thedistrict level initially and latter stages fromthe near by districts. Hay should beenriched with 2% Urea molasses solutionor 1% common salt solution and fed to LS
Herd should be split and supplementationshould be given only to the highlyproductive and breeding animals
Provision of emergency grazing/feeding(Cow-calf camps or other specialarrangements to protect high productive &breeding stock)
Motivate the farmers to mix the dry fodderwith available kitchen waste while feeding
Concentratessupplementation should beprovided to all the animals.
The farmers may be advisedto practice “flushing thestock” to recoup
Short duration fodder cropsof should be sown in unsownand crop failed areas whereno further routine cropsowing is not possible
Supply of quality seeds offodder varieties andmotivating the farmers tocultivate at least 10% of theirland holding for fodderproduction
-
51
Arrangements should be made formobilization of small ruminants across thevillages where no drought exits withsubsidized road/rail transportation andtemporary shelter provision for theshepherds
