4. SEED ROLLING PLAN
A long term Seed Production Plan has been prepared based seed requirement for production of required seeds and promotion of new varieties in Telangana.
Meetings were conducted with the Research Institutions and the Seed Producing Agencies to promote the new varieties and to bring into the Seed Chain.
On similar guidelines Season wise, crop wise seed Rolling Plan is prepared for the year and for the next three years for Telangana State and after conducting another meeting with the Research Institutions and Seed Producing Agencies.

5. OBJECTIVES
To make the State self sufficient in production of various crop seeds to develop the State as a “Seed Bowl” of the Country.
Promotion of new crop varieties of various crop seeds to increase the productivity.
Old varieties are to be replaced with new varieties in a phased manner.
The Telangana Government is working on a strategy to increase the seed production in various crops for the benefit of the farming community and thereby make the State self sufficient in seed production.

Estimated subsidy expenditure is Rs Crores.
Required seed is available with Govt. & pvt. Agencies.

11. The Private Companies are taking up the production of Hybrids crops seeds such as Cotton, Maize, Sunflower, Jowar, Bajra and Castor.
For crop seeds of Pulses crops like Redgram, Green gram, Black gram, Bengal gram and Oilseeds crops like Groundnut, Soybean, Sesamum, seed production is taken up by the Government agencies as the involvement of Private Sector is less in these crops. Therefore the focus is to be given to the production and distribution of new varieties of these crops in the State.
Paddy seed is being produced by the Government agencies and Private Companies, required quantities are being produced by the Government and Private agencies.
There is need to popularize new varieties of Paddy seed to increase the productivity. Seed Corporation is taking up seed production of new varieties of Paddy.
Soybean : Government is planning to take up seed production in the State, as the Soybean area is increasing every year and spreading to other districts. The State requires around 2.00 Lakh qtls of certified seed. The University was requested to produce required quantity of Breeder Seed for multiplication

12. VARIETIES REPLACED IN THE STATE
Groundnut : TMV-2 is replaced with K-6.
Now promoting K-9.
Redgram : LRG-30 was replaced with LRG-41.
Green gram : ML-267 was replaced with LGG-460.
Black gram : T-9 was replaced with LBG-752.
Soybean : JS-335 is still the popular variety in the State.
Paddy : In Paddy the seed production of Tellahamsa, IR-64,
JGL-384 is being discouraged and promoting new varieties.

13. New Crop varieties included in production chain of State Seeds Development Corporation
1. Paddy : BPT- 2231, BPT Long Duration, Super fine var., non-

19. DIFFICULTIES IN IMPLEMENTATION
Government of India extending the subsidies for the seed varieties released less than 10 years, but in the field conditions the new varieties are not readily accepted by the farmers therefore taking a longer time for popularization.
In Soybean, the old variety JS-335 is still popular among the farmers.
In Paddy, the old varieties like BPT-5204,MTU 1010 in Kharif and MTU-1010 in Rabi are still popular among the farmers.
In Pulse Crops like Green Gram and Black Gram, there is a need to develop new varieties suitable for different aberrant seasonal conditions.

20. SUGGESTIONS
Government of India may give flexibility in production and distribution of various crops varieties which are popular among the farmers and suitable to local situations.
Along with the old popular varieties, the new varieties are also to be promoted simultaneously by extending assistance to the farmers.
The old varieties which are more popular among the farmers and giving good yields under aberrant seasonal conditions to be re-notified.
Supply of Breeder seed on 50% subsidy to the farmer growers, due to high cost of Breeder seed the farmer growers are unable to procure the seed.
