Under Pulses Kurnool district for the year and Nizamabad district for the year is selected as best district

Rice: Due to severe drought in Rice area in the state is reduced by 3.16 lakh ha. Under NFSM districts the area is reduced by more than 2.00 lakh ha An area of about lakh ha was affected by drought During Rabi water in commands was not released Hence, the number of demos as targeted could not be organized Due to drought micronutrient deficiency correction was also affected The shortfall under Rice seed minikits is based on actual supplies The year was comparatively free from pest and diseases hence the shortfall in P.P. Chemicals Pulses: Due to severe drought, area under pulses was reduced by 0.59 lakh ha An area of 2.70 lakh ha was affected due to drought Due to drought micronutrient deficiency correction was also affected The year was comparatively free from pest and diseases hence the shortfall in P.P. Chemicals The targeted FFS could not be organized due to drought 12 Reasons for Shortfalls –

Review of status of Rice Minikits –

A recent review on performance and constraints of seed minikits in Andhra Pradesh broadly indicated the following: –100% respondents informed that the seed was received in time, certified seed was supplied in packed minikits and the variety was supplied for the first time –All farmers responded that the seed was treated –100% responded that minikit program is useful to them –80% of the respondents informed that they have not used any herbicide –80% responded that they have not adopted fertilizer dosage as per soil test data –48% respondents informed that the field day was organized 16 Performance of Rice Minikits

Rice – Impact of the Mission 19 NDC in its 53 rd meeting held on fixed the following targets for Rice & Pulses in the state under NFSM up to the 11 th plan. S.NoCrop Present Production level (lakh tones) Production targeted by (lakh tones) Increase (lakh tones) 1 Rice Pulses Incase of Rice the state achieved higher production levels except during which was a severe drought year. The statement below indicates Area, Production and Yield of Rice in the state compared to baseline. Source: D.E.S

20 As indicated above, the Area, Production and yield of Rice are always higher during the 11 th five year plan compared to base level. The National Food Security Mission (Rice) is under implementation in 11 districts only. As per Concurrent Evaluation-II which is based on DES data In NFSM district the Rice productivity which was 2650 kg / ha as baseline increased to 3276 kg / ha i.e. an increase of 15.54% up to The trend continued during also. The productivity in Non NFSM districts marginally decreased from 3276 kg / ha to 3263 kg / ha i.e. a decrease of 0.39% during the above period. The contribution of Rice production in NFSM districts which was 46.79% increased to 54.68% by the end of Whereas in Non NFSM districts the contribution which was 53.21% came down to 45.32%.

Pulses – Impact of the Mission 21 Incase of Total Pulses the state achieved higher production level than lakh tons during it self. The following statement indicates Area, Production and Yield of Total Pulses in the state compared to baseline. As indicated above, the Area, Production and yield of Total Pulses are always higher during the 11 th five year plan compared to base level except area during and , but production and productivity levels were higher than base level.

22 The National Food Security Mission (Pulses) was under implementation in 14 districts only up to As per Concurrent Evaluation-II which is based on DES data In NFSM districts the Total Pulses productivity which was 638 kg / ha as baseline increased to 812 kg / ha i.e. an increase of 27.3% up to The trend continued during also. The productivity of Total Pulses in Non NFSM districts which was 517 kg / ha decreased to 474 kg / ha i.e. a decrease of 8.36% during the above period. The contribution of Total Pulses production in NFSM districts which was 82.53% increased to 86.44% by the end of i.e an increase of 3.91%.
