Status of Rainfall

KHARIF ASSESMENT 2012

Total Kharif cropped area estimated to be 48.04 Lakh ha which

is 1 % higher over previous year.

Rice is a major Kharif crop which occupies 75 % area, followed

by pulses 9 %, Oilseeds 8 % and other crops 8 %.

Total coverage under cereal crops estimated to be 39.22 lakh

ha which is 1 % higher over previous year.

Arhar, Moong, Urd and Kulthi (Horse gram) are the major pulse

crops. Total area under pulses estimated to be 3.98 lakh ha which is

slightly higher over previous year ( 3.97 lakh ha).

Among Oilseeds Soybean, Groundnut, Til and Niger are major

crops. Total area estimated under oilseeds 3.49 lakh ha which is 3 %

more than previous year (3.38 lakh ha.).

CROP COVERAGE

KHARIF ASSESMENT 2012

Production Estimates

Around 75 % Area under rice is rainfed hence production and productivity

of rice depend upon rainfall especially at the time of maturity. As per

present crop condition production of rice is estimated to be 65.83 lakh MT

which is 8 % higher over previous year.

Production of Pulses is estimated at 2.05 lakh MT which is same as

previous year (2.00 lakh MT).

Estimated Production of Oilseeds 3.09 lakh MT which is 8 % higher over

last year (2.86 lakh MT).

Factors responsible for low Productivity

Around 80 % of the total Rabi cropped area is under rainfed situation.

Hence moisture stress during critical growth stages adversely affects

productivity.

Paucity of time for Rabi land preparation after harvest of paddy.

Predominantly broadcast method of sowing is followed which results

inadequate plant population ultimately low yield.

Low Seed Replacement Rate.

Heavy weed infestation

Low use of fertilizer and micro nutrients.

Pest & diseases incident.

Major Constraint and proposed intervention

Wheat :

Short winter span Use of suitable high temperature tolerant varities

Delayed sowing Thrust on early/mid duration rice varities under rice

based cropping system to ascertain timely sowing

of rabi crop.

Purnima, Danteshwari, MTU-1010, Bambleshwari,

early hybrids

Poor land preparation Use of rotavator and laser land leveler

Inadequate plant population Seed treatment

25 % extra seed for late sown crop

Instead of broadcast method line sowing with the

help of seed cum fertilizer drill should be followed

Heavy weed infestation Use of recommended weedicide

Faulty method of irrigation Use of Sprinkler

Contd...

Gram :

Ensure use of resistant variety and timely sowing.

(Vaibhav, Vijay, ICC-32) Placement of seed in moisture zone especially in rainfed situation. Treatment of seed with seed treating material and rhizobium culture / PSB. Use of bio control agent / bio pesticides Use of sprinkler system of irrigation

Lathyrus :

Mainly sown as utera (relay) crop

Use of improved varieties - Ratan, Pratik

Seed treatment

Optimum sowing time - 15 days prior to harvesting of paddy crop.

Apply additional 20 kg per ha P2O5 in rice where lathyrus is to be sown.

Linseed :

Ensure timely sowing - 15th Oct. 15th Nov.

Use of improved rust resistant varieties - Indira Alsi, Deepika, Kartika, RLC-92, Kiran, R-552

Application of sulpher @10 kg per ha

Soil Health Status (Major Nutrient Deficiency)

Soils of all 5 districts in Northern Hill zone are Medium in N, but Low in P and K.

Soils in the Chhattisgarh Plains zone have varied levels of the major nutrients :

• Nitrogen level in 10 districts of Raipur division is low, but 5 districts of Bilaspur division is Medium.

• Regarding P level 12 districts (Raipur division – 7 and Bilaspur division -5) have Low and rest 3 districts of Raipur division is low.

• K - content in 8 districts are of medium level 4 districts are of low level and in remaining 3 districts are of High level.

Bastar Plateau zone comprises of 7 districts which constitute 13.42% arable area of the state.

Around 56% soils are light textured with low water holding capacity.

Bastar Plateau soils as whole (all 7 districts) have low level of all three major nutrients (NPK).

Integrated Nutrient Management

Soil Test Based - Nutrient Status

Pest Surveillance and Judicious Use of Pesticides

Pest surveillance teams have been formed and regular monitoring is being done.

Pest and disease occurrence are monitored through e-pest surveillance device.

Farmers are being advised for need based use of pesticides through :

(a) Farmers training programmes

(b) Farmers Field School

(c) IPM package for major crops have been made available to farmers /

farmers friends / field staff.

Insecticide inspectors have been nominated for inspection of outlets and regular sampling of pesticides.
