WHY GROW ZAID/SUMMER CROPS?

Cropping intensity will increase with extra season, extra crop and

extra income

Utilization of resources for sustainable production - food & nutritional

security

Growing leguminous pulses and oilseeds (Groundnut) – Act as soil

conditioner

LIMITATIONS: ZAID/SUMMER CROP SEASON

Growing season is short (March-June)

Less moisture demanding crops only

Zaid/summer crops are raised where assured

irrigation facilities are available

Open grazing/stray & wild animals cause damage

Inadequate thrust on summer season area coverage

Existing supportive programs for summer crops

■ Ongoing TRFA program in 6 Eastern and 4 Southern

States to promote zaid/summer crops (Pulses &

Oilseeds) in selected areas (NFSM – Pulses & Oil Seed)

■ Additional area program encourages to grow pulses in

summer (NFSM-Pulses)

■ Intercropping in oilpalm (NFSM - Oil Seed & Oil Palm)

■ Intercropping in Sugarcane (NFSM - Pulses)

■ Sub-mission on Nutri-cereals to promote millets (NFSM -

Nutri-cereals)

Zaid/Summer Campaign- 2020

Extending Irrigation Efficiency for Zaid

Season Crops -PMKSY-PDMC

Department of Agriculture, Cooperation & Farmers Welfare

Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare

Zaid/Summer Season Crops Agricultural crops which are grown in the short duration between Rabi and Kharif crop season, mainly from March to June, are called Zaid crops. The Zaid crops require warm dry weather for major growth period and longer day length for flowering and fruiting. The main crops include traditional summer crops like rice, corn, cucumber, melon, pepper, tomato and some coarse cereals sown during the month of March and are generally harvested by June end.

Kharif crops are mainly dependent on monsoon rains while rabi and Zaid crops requires life saving irrigation.

Short duration crops like traditional summer crops & vegetables inclusive of pulses, oilseeds, coarse-cereals and millets are being encouraged instead of Water guzzling crops like Rice.

Conti..

More area can be brought under Zaid/Summer crops by diverting area under water guzzling crops to pulses, oilseeds, vegetables and some fruits which are having lesser water requirement.

Provides extra income to the farmers through optimization of resources.

Conti..

Micro Irrigation - Zaid Crops

Area under Zaid crops can be increased by efficient use of available water using Micro Irrigation technologies viz. Drip & Sprinkler Irrigation systems.

Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY)

• Water being the most critical input for agriculture, its judicious use is important to ensure sustainable agricultural development and food security.

• There is a need for adopting optimum cropping pattern and efficient water application, that utilises available water resources in an efficient manner.

• Micro irrigation as an efficient water application techniques are being promoted under the Per Drop More Crop component of Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinhayee Yojana.

PMKSY- Per Drop More Crop (PDMC)

• Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana is operational from 2015-16.

• The PMKSY- Per Drop More Crop focuses on enhancing water use efficiency at farm level through precision/micro irrigation (Drip and Sprinkler Irrigation).

• Besides promoting precision irrigation and better on-farm water management practices to optimize the use of available water resources, this component also supports micro level water storage or water conservation/management activities to supplement Micro Irrigation.

Impacts of Micro Irrigation

Irrigation cost reduced by 20% to 50% with average of 32.3%.

Electricity consumption reduced by about 31%.

Saving of fertilizers 7% to 42%.

Average productivity of fruits and vegetables increased by about 42.3% and 52.8%.

Overall income enhancement of farmers in the range of 20% to 68% with average of 48.5%

Benefits of Micro irrigation for Zaid crops

Promoting/Increasing use of Micro irrigation system (Drip and sprinkler) can help enhancing area under Zaid crops through efficient use of water.

Increase productivity of crops and income of farmers through precision water management during Zaid Season .

Promotion of Micro Irrigation in Ganga Basin

• National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG), Ministry of Jal

Shakti, implementing its flagship programme ‘Namami Gange’.

• This programme has a multi-disciplinary approach and one of

the thrust areas involve development of villages in the Ganga

Basin.

• The success of the programme largely depends upon the

participation of Ministries, State Govts. and local communities.

• There are 1657 Gram Panchayats (GPs) covering 5616 villages

along the stretch of river Ganga basin in 5 States (Uttrakhand,

Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal.))

Contd…

• Promotion of Micro Irrigation in Ganga Basin is one of the

identified activity in villages along the main stream of

Ganga.

• It is proposed to extend Micro Irrigation (MI) in all Gram

Panchayats (GPs) under PMKSY-PDMC.

• Include the target of coverage in the Action Plan (2020-21)

of PDMC

• The GP-wise area covered under MI and number of farmers

benefitted sofar in each district may please be

communicated to this Department.

Micro-Irrigation Fund (MIF)

A dedicated Micro Irrigation Fund (MIF) created with

NABARD .

Objective of the MIF is to facilitate the States in mobilising

the resources for expanding coverage under Micro

Irrigation.

States may access MIF for incentivising micro irrigation

through additional (top up) subsidy over and above the one

available under PMKSY-PDMC component for achieving

the target.

States need to sign an MoA with NABARD and GoI for

availing fund

Projects to be funded under MIF

Top-up subsidy available under PMKSY-PDMC

Innovative projects viz. Crop and area specific approach

Rice, Sugarcane, Banana, Cotton crop coverage,

Command areas coverage of Minor and lift Irrigation project’s commands

Clusters in commands of Major and Medium irrigation projects

Other State specific strategies for increasing MI coverage.

Way Forward

Awareness programme for popularisation of MI.

Promote Micro Irrigation under Zaid crops to Increase

productivity of crops and income of farmers

More thrust on MI for water intensive crops.

Promotion of fertigation through MI.

Purnea, Zobawng etc.

Group III

26% of total Cattle in the country are

Crossbreds which fall under this group. Male

have no utility because of absence of hump

Jersey and HF

Group IV

44% of Cattle population in country has not

been described, they are non-uniform and

always considered as low producers and often

abandoned by the owners.

Non- Descript

Classification of Cattle Population

Reasons for stray cattle in India

• Low productivity: Non descript animals yielding little or no milk

let loose by farmers for grazing.

• Male calves: No value for farmers:

• Increased mechanization - non demand for bullock;

• Extension of AI coverage - no demand for breeding bulls

• Anna Pratha: Tradition in Bundelkhand, not follow stall feeding

• Breeding Policy: allowing or not preventing breeding with draft

purpose breeds

• Infertility: i) Animals maintained on low plane of nutrition

ii) low fertility among exotic and crossbreds

iii) repeat breeders (ill trained AI technicians)

Strategy for Stray Cattle Management

The two pronged strategy:

• Reducing numbers:

• Promoting sex sorted semen

• Back crossing of CB with IB to improve fertility

• Using stray cows as surrogates for production of elite cows

• Value addition and enhanced utilization of

• A2 milk of IB

• Cow dung …. Alternative usage

• Cow urine

• Panchgavya (milk, curd, ghee, dung and urine) … Needs further

validation through scientific methods

Control measures

Short term Measure:

o Strengthening of existing: Gaushalas, Gosadans and Pinjarapoles

o Establishment of new cow shelters in rural areas

o Establishment of new cow sanctuaries

Long Term measures

o sex sorted semen to limit birth of male calves and reduce stray

cattle

o Nutrition: improving availability of green fodder and cattle feed to

enhance fertility

o Breeding Policy: promoting high yielding breeds for upgrading

non descript cattle. Opening Breed Conservation and

Development Centre for draft breeds

o Dry Dairies: economic utilization of unproductive and stray cows

Policy intervention

Establishment Sex Sorted Semen Production Facility:

Projects from 12 semen stations with production capacity of

2.6 million sex sorted doses annually approved under RGM.

So far 2 semen station made functional (Uttarakhand

Rishikesh; UP Babugarh) and 3 lakh doses of SS IB produced

3 semen stations: Chitale dairy in Private; Mehsana Dairy in

cooperative and BAIF (NGO) are producing sex sorted semen

Genetic Upgradation of Non descript cattle:

• Nation wide AI programme for extension of AI coverage

through promotion of semen of HGM bulls of IB

• IVF for faster multiplication of elite animals of indigenous

breeds and production of HGM bulls

• Genomics for identification and location of elite bulls

Steps taken by UP for managing stray cattle

• As per Article 246(3), VS is the State subject and

States have taken policy measures to manage stray

cattle population

• Uttar Pradesh has established ~4039 temporary cow

shelters, for managing about ~9 lakh stray cattle in

rural areas

• State is providing subsidy on use of sex sorted semen

Sex sorted semen dose is made available @ Rs 100

in Bundelkhand area and Rs 300 in other regions of

the State

Accreditation of Nurseries

Accreditation of nursery is an important step to

regulate the quality of planting materials supplied

by the nurseries-

During the Eleventh Plan Period, Govt. of India

entrusted NHB to start the programme on

accreditation of nurseries

From 2014-15, DCCD and DASD for accrediting crop

specific nurseries, in North East, CIH

Compulsory for states to source pants for schemes.

State Governments ensure supply of quality planting

materials for fruit crops by enactment of Fruit Plant Nursery

(Regulation) Act and enforcement of its provisions through

licensing of horticulture nurseries.

There is no horticulture nursery act in many states enacted in only 11 states.

Nursery (Regulation) Act

Model nursery act for circulation to states

Objectives of the act

To ensure production and supply of genuine and good quality plant

material.

To enforce multiplication of recommended varieties of plants.

To keep complete record of origin (or) source of root stock, scion

material and seedlings.

To enable supply of disease and pest free plant material

To make the Nursery men to maintain complete record of sale of plant

material

To check the transaction on nurseries

To prosecute the Nurserymen, if found engaged in unauthorized sale

and propagation

To restrict the movement of disease and pest effected plant material

Though, the Horticulture Sector has emerged as

a major growth driver in agriculture and allied

sectors;

Yet, the sector is also facing various challenges –

pre and post production, existing and emerging.

Small scale farming due to size of holdings.

Inadequate availability of quality planting materials.

Lack of processable varieties for cultivation.

Low level of mechanization in horticulture.

Lack of latest technologies for protected cultivation.

Lack of know how and do how.

Fruits are generally grown on marginal lands with low soil

fertility – productivity potential not achieved.

Large scale prevalence of old and senile orchards having

low planting density which adversely affects the

productivity.

High initial investment on new orchards. Initial cost is a

constraint in adoption of new technologies.

Farmers who do not have economy of scale production and

less liquidity are prone to exploitation by traders and

middlemen.

Seasonal production: Production and supply is confined to a particular season for a short period, while the demand is spread all round the year.

Facilities for post-harvest management and processing have not kept pace with growth in production.

Unorganised supply chain, not suitably integrated for handling of perishable produce.

Lack of sorting, grading and storage facilities at the farm or around the market compels farmers to sell the produce immediately after the harvest when the prices are generally at the lowest level.

Markets are controlled by a few big traders whose operations are non-transparent and lead to low price realisation and even lower farmer share in consumer rupee.
