Strategies to increase the production of rice crop FUTURE PROSPECTS PADDY Strategies to increase the production of rice crop Increasing the productivity per unit of area and cropping intensity Promoting Integrated Pest Management Approach. Adoption of SRI cultivation (9.0 lakh ha. during 2011-12). Line sowing in upland rice areas. Encouraging cultivation of hybrid rice through demonstrations Use of machines , bullock drawn and hand operated implements. Promoting cultivation of High Yielding / drought tolerant varieties / salt tolerant varieties Bio-fertilizer such as Blue-Green Algae, Azosprillum, Azotobacter Azolla and phospho-bacteria Cultivation of CR 1009 and ADT 44 in shallow low land area of Thanjavur & Nagapattinam districts Non-monetary inputs like timely sowing, maintaining optimum plant population, timely irrigation, efficient Emphasis on cropping system approach rather than single crop development approach Use of balanced application of fertilizers, need based plant protection Improving soil fertility by inclusion of leguminous crops in the crop rotations or as mixed crop. Protection measures and timely harvesting of crop. Encouraging balanced use of plant nutrients and soil ameliorants Attractive Market Price and Insurance coverage Propagation of location specific crop Extending interest free credit

FUTURE PROSPECTS PULSES Bringing more area under cultivation DAP Foliar spray twice Increasing the area under irrigated pulses Pulses Nutrient tonic Seed treatment with Rhizobium / Trichodema Viridi Raingun / Mobile sprinkler irrigation Cultivating high yielding pest and yellow mosaic varieties. Cluster approach in larger area Maintaining plant population Attractive market price Weed Management Procuring grain pulses at fair price at farm gate itself Balanced application of fertilizers Insurance coverage Enrichment of soil health through organic manure Extending interest free credit

FUTURE PROSPECTS MILLETS Bringing more area under irrigated condition Raising area under cluster approach Expansion of area by bringing cultivation of fallow land Extending Precision Farming / Micro Irrigation Increasing the Hybrid seed usage Weed Management, scaring of birds Seed treatment with azospirillum/fungicides. Mechanized intercultural operations with power weeder Line sowing through seed drill Adopting INM and IPM practices Providing assured market with attractive price Balanced application of fertilizers Insurance coverage Application of Micro Nutrient Mixture Extending interest free credit
