12. Contingency Planning Contingency plan at district level prepared with scientists Preventive and contingent measures for different draught situations are ready: 1.Early onset and sudden stoppage of monsoon 2.late onset, upland not covered till mid –July 3.Transplanting of rice delayed/seedling over aged 4.Transplanted rice affected at early vegetative stage 5.Late season draught (16-31 oct) Advisory for these will be propagated by ATMA and other extension workers, audio-visual aids

13. 1.Early onset and sudden stoppage of monsoon Diversified land use with non paddy crops in upland Rain water management through in-situ conservation & water harvesting Maize, Arhar, Black gram, G nut,Ragi etc encouraged Arhar and Maize based intercropping DSR by sprouted seed

14. 2.late onset, upland not covered till mid –July Sowing of stress tolerant non-paddy crops Kulthi, Maize, Ragi, Urd, Arhar cultivation encouraged Maize, Niger based intercropping adoption Vegetables like tomato, cauliflower, radish, brinjal promoted Rain water management through in-situ conservation & water harvesting

15. 3.Transplanting of rice delayed/seedling over aged Seedlings upto 60-70 days can be used in medium and late duration varieties Close transplanting using 5-7 seedling/hill Nitrogen application reduced at transplanting Maintain nursery by life saving irrigation Niger, Tori, Kulthi can be cultivated

16. 4.Transplanted rice affected at early vegetative stage Provide protective irrigation Control blast in nursery Withhold N application Apply Potassic fert. If moisture allows Check seepage loss

17. 5.Late season draught (16-31 oct) Provide protective irrigation at critical stages Cowpea, maize, green gram may be harvested for fodder purpose Pre rabi crops horsegram,niger,castor can be grown Preposition of seeds of rabi crops
