IV Good Agricultural Practices Detailed good agronomical practices to be adopted crop wise. Groundnut:- Seed Treatment with T.viridae-8-10g/kg of Seed . Basal application of Zinc 50kgs /ha . Gypsum application at peg penetrtion stage@500Kg/Ha. . Mechanized Harvesting Cotton:- Seed treatment with Imidacloprid -48%- 7gms/kg .Basal application of Zinc-50kg/ha, Boron-2.5kg/ha, Magnesium- 10kg/ha Application of Fertilizer within 90DAS .Stem application method within 60DAS . Inter cropping with Redgram crop . To reduce pesticide consumption sowing of Non-Bt cotton.

IV Good Agricultural Practices 3.Bengal gram:- .Seed treatment with T.viridae-8-10g/kg of Seed./ Hexaconazole-2ml/kg of seed . Inter cropping with Coriander @8:2 ratio Highlight locally adopted best agronomical practices and indigenously developed practices.:- Nil Crop sequence:- 1. Groundnut- coriander, 2.Cotton-Pulses(Green gram or Black gram) Crop rotation:- 1. . Cotton-Bengal gram 2. Bengal gram- Coriander Double cropping 1. Groundnut- Pulses Inter cropping:- 1.Cotton-Redgram

IV Good Agricultural Practices A)Crop Sequence:Groundnut crop sequence with Green gram or sesamum results in increased yields. B) Crop rotation:with legumes in cereals increases nitrogen fixation and results in increased yields. C)Intercropping:Intercropping with castor or cow pea in ground nut reduces incidence of Spodoptera and leaf eating caterpillars.Intercropping with Red gram in ground nut provides additional income.Border cropping with Jowar or bajra in ground nut reduces incidence of Bud necrosis by arresting thrips movement. D)Double cropping:Ground nut with Sesamum or sorghum will not only reduces preparation cost for other crop and also reduces pest incidence leads to increased returns.

V Cost Reduction Strategies and techniques followed to reduce cost of cultivation. Chemical fertilizer applications (Nitrogen ):- By application of Green manure seed, improves the Fertilizer efficiency, there by reduces the Application of Nitrogenous Fertilizers up to 30%. Without green manures applies 375kgs/ha, With green manure applies 250kgs/ha. Pest management.:- Application of Neem oil 3000ppm reduces the Pest infestation. Promotion of organic pesticides, fertilizers and other botanicals.:- Seed treatment with Pseudomonas, Application of PSB 10kgs/ha, Application of Weedicide:- Application of Weedicides as pre-emergence and Post-emergence will reduces cost.
