1. GGN IPGA KHARIF PULSES CROP SURVEY PRESENTATION 2014

2. Index State & Districts covered under crop survey

3. Rains could not reach in most of the pulses growing areas and there was moisture shortages and early sowing cannot commence.

4. Rains begins to improve from mid July and improve the soil moisture status and sowing occurred.

5. Follow up showers occurred but not sufficient. So there was moisture deficiency in most of the pulses growing areas. However no areas were critically dry.

6. Rainfall continued till mid Sept but becomes extinct after that leaving most of the crop in the need of one or two rains to complete favorably.

7. Good harvest & maturation was in west & central India whereas rains occurred in southern area which cause quality deterioration.

28. Cropping Pattern Major cropping pattern is single cropping. Factors Affecting Yield Apart from the rainfall, usage of irrigation facility, usage of chemical and organic fertilizers, disease and pest attack, usage of pesticides, weather and timely harvesting are the major factors affecting the productivity of the Urad Crop. 1.1 Sowing Time – This season sowing was delayed by 2-3 weeks as arrival of monsoonal rains was late.

29. 1.2 Sowing Status 1.3– Crop Condition Major sowing was late but the crop status is better than last year as last year there was big losses due to excessive rains.

30. 1.4 Variety Sown 1.5-Expected harvesting : The harvest this year is delayed by 1 to 2 weeks. Harvesting is delayed by 1 to 2 weeks.

31. 1.6 Last Year Price 1.7- Expected Prices Most of the small farmers sell their crop as soon as harvested and others medium farmers sell their crop as accordance to their financial requirements, while big farmers hold their crops in anticipation of higher prices.

32. Urad Crop 1.8-Storage:. 1.9- Pest Attack Storage intentions are very few as most of the farmers sell their crops for their financial needs. Pest attack was low this season.

33. Observations: 1-This season all India Urad crop sowing was late as arrival of monsoonal rains was delayed by 2-3 weeks. 2- There is big jump of 35% over previous year in acreage of Madhya Pradesh as most of the first or early sowing of soybean failed and there was shortages of soybean seed for replanting or resowing so farmers has to shift towards Urad. 3- All India Urad acreage is showing a marginal gain of 5% over last year as rest of state acreage is generally showing decline. 4- All India yields are marginally higher by 3%. Madhya Pradesh yield are showing big improvement of 49% over last year whereas rest other states are generally showing a decline. 5- The quality of Urad crop in slightly deteriorated in southern states as there were rains in late Sept & early Oct. 6- Quality of Urad crop in M.P., Maharashtra, U.P. and other states are better than last year. 7- This year all India Urad production is higher by 8% over last year. The game changer is Madhya Pradesh which contributes around 35% of all India crop. This year M.P. production has jumped 101% over last year while other sates are generally showing a decline in production.

34. Percentage Change in Area, Yield and Production This is the main finding of the survey as our scientific method gives us results in variation on percentage basis from previous year. Total area under Urad crop in India for the year 2014 has increased by 5% as compared to previous year. Average yield for the year 2014 has increased by 3%. Estimated total production of Urad crop for India for the year 2014 has increased by 8% as compared to previous year.

51. Karnataka

54. Observations: 1- This season Moong crop sowing was late due to late arrival of monsoonal rains. 2-This year Moong acreage has drastically reduced by 18% over last year. Almost all the districts acreage has reduced due to poor rains while sowing time therefore could not complete the sowing intentions due to moisture deficits. 3- Yields are generally showing a decline of 9% as compared to last year as sowing was late & below average rainfall. 4- This year Moong production in Karnataka has reduced drastically by 25% over last year on account of reduced acreage & lower yields. 5- Moong crop quality has deteriorated due of rainfall at harvesting period.

58. Cropping Pattern Major cropping pattern is single cropping. Factors Affecting Yield Apart from the rainfall, usage of irrigation facility, usage of chemical and organic fertilizers, disease and pest attack, usage of pesticides, weather and timely harvesting are the major factors affecting the productivity of the Moong crop. 2.1 Sowing Time – This season sowing was delayed by 2-3 weeks as arrival of monsoonal rains was late.

59. 2.2 Sowing Status 2.3– Crop Condition This year percentage of good crop was only 5% down 14% over previous year Most of the crop was normal to poor.

60. 2.4 Variety Sown 2.5-Expected harvesting : The harvest this year is delayed by 1 to 2 weeks. The harvesting is delayed by 1-2 weeks.

61. 2.8-Storage 2.9- Pest Attack The storage intention is very few as most of the farmers sell their crop for their financial needs.

62. Observations:MOONG 1- This season all India Moong crop sowing was late as arrival of monsoonal rains was delayed by 2-3 weeks. 2- All India Moong crop acreage is down by 13% over last year as due to late arrival of monsoonal rains sowing intentions was unable to meet and the percentage of vacant land increased. Only exception in M.P. which is showing a jump of 46% over last year but M.P. contributed only 7% of all India crop. 3- Yields are generally showing a decline of 12% over last year as due to late sowing and below average rainfall. 4- Quality of Moong crop is generally average to good this year but some quality deterioration occurred in southern states due to rains during harvesting period. 5- This year All India Moong crop is reduced by 23% over last year due to double blow of acreage & yield.

63. Percentage Change in Area, Yield and Production This is the main finding of the survey as our scientific method gives us results in variation on percentage basis from previous year. Total area under Moong crop in India for the year 2014 has Decreased by 13% as compared to previous year. Average yield for the year 2014 has Decreased by 12%. Estimated total production of Moong crop for India for the year 2014 has Decreased by 23% as compared to previous year.
