Major Focus NFSM- Rice  Tray nursery  Weedicides application in dry tract of Rice growing areas  Swarna sub1 paddy seeds for Nagapattinam and Tiruvarur districts  Anna 4 rice variety for dry tract NFSM- Pulses  Red gram Transplantation- Cluster demonstration  Protective irrigation through water saving equipments like sprinkler/ mobile sprinkler and raingun.  Pulse Wonder which increases the yield of pulses 20-30% both in irrigated and in rainfed condition –Accelerated Pulses Production  Hire charges for water saving equipments and water charges, in rice fallow pulses - Local initiatives component

Strategies to be followed under NFSM-Rice Pink pigmented facultative methylotrophs technology would be followed in the districts of Ramnad and Sivagangai under demonstration through Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU) KVK. SRI technology would be adopted to increase the productivity by 20% Tray nursery will be provided with subsidy to reduce the damage of seedlings during transportation. Farm mechanization, INM, IPM would be adopted

Strategies to be followed under NFSM-Pulses  Bringing more area under pulses in rice fallows and intercropping with other crops.  Providing certified seeds for higher yield  Protective irrigation and Efficient usage of water through micro irrigation.  Soil testing and application of nutrients.  Pest surveillance and monitoring,assessment of ETL levels and finally application of need based plant protection chemicals..  Innovative technologies and improved package of practices in cluster demonstrations.  Cropping system based training to adopt best crop production/crop protection technologies for high production and productivity.

SPECIFIC ISSUES UNDER NFSM Relaxation of qualification and experience for appointing Consultants and Senior Technical Assistants Amount required for settlement of pending bills of Age relaxation for the distribution of HYV paddy. Subsidy for the machineries may be increased to 50% of the total cost Relaxation of cost norms mentioned in guidelines under demonstration to include Rs. 2558/ha
