Strategy Mission on Soil Health – Upgrade soil testing Infrastructure – Schemes for improving organic content of soils; green manuring, composting and recycling of organic waste. – Thrust on Bio-fertilizers and Bio-pesticides. – Support for increased use of Micro Nutrients. – Thrust on Bio fertilizers – Scheme for balanced use of fertilizers and for improving fertilizer use efficiency.

Agro climatic zone-wise crop specific strategies for yield improvement – RICE: SRR to be increased from 24% to 35%. Area under hybrid to be increased from 13 lakh H to 20 Lakh H. Promotion of Stress tolerant varieties. Promotion of Drum seeding: target of 10 lakh H. – WHEAT Programme for line sowing – demonstrations and extension. Programme / Scheme for weed control. Promoting conservation tillage and short duration varieties in late sown areas. Replacement of old varieties – focus on VRR.

Agro climatic zone-wise crop specific strategies for yield improvement – PULSES Increasing area under pulses. – Intercropping – Summer / Jayad pulses programme. Research for improved varieties of pulses. Micro irrigation for pulse areas Promotion of Rizhobium culture for pulses. Scheme for IPM in pulses. Area of concern – Blue bull menace – OIL SEEDS Increased area under oil seeds – Til and Groundnut Varietal improvement Scheme for IPM Better Marketing arrangements.

Bringing wastelands under cultivation – Usar reclamation progarmme – Bhoomi Sena – IWMP and NABARD assisted programmes. Farm Mechanization – Custom hiring centres – Training on farm machinery – Use of Machines for crop residue management. – Private partnerships.

Strengthening Extension – Fill up vacancies at grass root level. – Use of IT for extension – Collaboration with private agencies – Strengthening linkages with SAUs and KVKs for extension. – Skill upgradation of extension staff. Enhanced Farm Credit – Saturation of KCCs; Smart KCCs. – Liasion with banks for BCs in all villages. – Promotion of JLGs. – Crop loan target to be enhanced to 75,000 cr by the end of the plan period.
