SPECIALISTS AND FUNCTIONARY SUPPORT, 2013-14
Contingent Plan-2013-14
• Under post kharif season, crops like Black Gram,Maize will be grown.
• Promotion of Khesari, Toria, like crop will also increase area & production of Pulse & Oilseed crops even under rainfed condition.
• Rabi crops like Wheat, Mustard, Lentil, Maize, Groundnut & Summer crops like Sesame and Moong are the best suited crops under West Bengal situation.
Challenges & Strategies ………..
Challenges: 1. Departure of rainfall from normal rhythm particularly in rainy months,2. Reduced span of winter period to grow cold loving Rabi crops
resulting restricted VRR,3. More than 64% of the Geographical Area is under cultivation with
180% cropping intensity & putting pressure on natural resources.4. High cost of Phosphatic & Potassic fertilizer facilitates imbalanced
NPK ratio in soil(2.92:1.6:1.0).
Strategies:1. Under Low area & High productivity Zone, increased C/Q Seed
availability from increased Seed Certification Programme.2. Under High area & low productivity zone, increased Mechanization
with Zero Till machine & use of quality seed.3. Utilization of potential Rice fallow areas under Relay(poira)
cropping of Lentil, Khesari, Toria & mustard.4. Integrated Planning for supply of Quality Resources to the
production systems.5. Increased production of Vermicompost, other low cost indigenous
nutrient sources & increased employment generation, 6. Reducing the Gap of IPC & IPU.7. Better income realization by farmers with market linkage
‘ ‘Area Expansion’.
– Strategic Technological Tools :1. Farm Mechanization with Zero/Minimal seed-drill to utilize
residual moisture for timely sowing of Wheat, Pulses & Oilseeds.2. Extension of Intercropping, Mixed cropping, Relay cropping of
Pulse, Oilseed & Maize to low lying Rice Fallow & upland field during Early/Rabi and Rabi season respectively,
3. Expansion of irrigation potential & reducing the gap between IPC & IPU through micro irrigation, Reduction of conveyance loss, Soil & Water conservation and Dry land & rainfed farming, & to convert cultivable Waste land to cultivated Land.
4. Research with new crops & varieties & under diversified soil and changing climatic condition for improved SRR & VRR.
‘‘Vertical Expansion’ through ‘Productivity Augmentation’.
– Strategic Technological Tools :– Increased Seed &Variety Replacement rate.– Expanding SRI Boro Area & with saved water resources,
increasing irrigated Wheat, Pulse, Oilseed & Maize cultivation.– Training ,Extension & e-Governance.– Farm mechanization : Electrical pumps, Zero till seed drill,
Tractor, PowerTiller, Drum Seeder ,Delivery Pipe etc. – Soil Health Management & Soil Test based nutrient
Management, INM & IPM,– Resource conservation technology: Mulching, Efficient irrigation
Conveyance , to holding size of the farmers.
‘Better income’ realization by farmers
– Providing alternative input production capacity to farmers through:
Azolla/Vermi/Compost/Green/Leaf manuring.– Demonstration & research on Integrated Farming
System with livelihood support, – Selection of popular market crops and varieties, – Better provision of Storage and linking post harvest
processing to Agro-Industries in PPP mode for value addition.
– Reducing cost of production: Stress on location specific technology development integrating the ITKs.
– Providing bio-fertilizers, bio-pesticides etc to combat high cost P & K Fertilizers &synthetic pesticides.
Prioritised Issues of West Bengal• Due to Climatic aberration during Kharif & Rabi, early Duration Rabi
Varieties of Wheat, Lentil, Mustard, Khesari (Lathyrus), Groundnut, Sunflower with high yield potentiality under the region and availability of Quality/Certified seeds and it’s integration with Seed Rolling Plan.
• Intensified Mechanisation programme with funding support as per choice of farmers for high area with low productivity zone.
• Resource conservation technology with Zero Till/FIRB or other technological Tools for Rabi crops like Wheat, Rice, Maize, Pulses & Oilseeds.
• Marketing infrastructure for increased price realization• Micro-Irrigation facility with rational subsidies under all the Departments.• Value addition through Intensified Post Harvest Management Programme
including Food Processing. • Establishment of Custom Hiring Service for farm mechinaries.
