prevalence

The assistance under this component shall not be extended to the beneficiaries

already covered during previous years. New needy clusters and beneficiaries shall

be selected after identification of the pest/Disease.

The assistance is provided for inputs only.

Input packages containing a combination of Chemical and Bio-inputs should be

recommended to the farmers in accordance with the field situation and prevalence

of pests and diseases with due approval of the scientists.

After completion of the programme the ADH should furnish the list of beneficiaries

along with UC.

Pattern of Assistance:

30% cost as assistance max. of Rs. 1200/- per Ha is provided on the total cost of

inputs to a max ceiling of 4 Ha per beneficiary.

The Horticulture officer shall ensure that the farmers should have taken up IPM

practices as per the input package recommended.

VERMICOMPOST UNITS

such places as a special case. But it has to be ensured that such beneficiaries are

genuine & interested farmers and will use Vermi compost units for their farms.

These units may be constructed wherever sufficient land, cattle and irrigation sources

are available duly owned by the beneficiary concerned in the same village where the

and ensure that the shed covers all the beds in the unit properly. All the beds must

and should be covered with shade.

Mangalore tiles instead of thatched shed, the additional cost over and above the

subsidy of Rs.30,000/- has to be borne by the farmer.

In all the cases the Horticulture Officer concerned should personally inspect and

certify the measurement of beds and shape etc. before recommending the subsidy.

The concerned H.O. should submit the photograph of units along with farmer to

ADH/DDH along with subsidy claim.

storage units, Controlled (CA) Storage/Modified Atmosphere (MA) Storage/supply

of refrigerated vans/containers, primary/mobile processing units, ripening

chambers, evaporative/low energy cool chambers, preservation units, onion
