10. A3P will be implemented on summer moong in Zaid -2011-12 Six Units have been planned One in each District of Ludhiana, Moga,Tarntaran, Ferozepur, Sangrur and Hoshiarpur. Selection of Farmers has been initiated ACCELERATED PULSE PRODUCTION PROGRAMME

11. STATUS OF PEST SURVEILLANCE N A3P DURING 2010-11 The summer Moong is a short duration crop.There was no chance of major pest and disease in Summer Moong crop during 2010-11.Keeping in view the money meant for Pest Surveillance was diverted to increase the area under Summer Moong under A3P form 1000 hectare to 1400hectare. Summer Moong is attacked by two insect pests i.e. Thrip and American Pod Borer and sometime hairy caterpillar.For the control of these insects the insecticide and bio- pesticide was purchased under A3P and these pesticides were distributed timely among the farmers for the control of these insects.

12. PROGRESS UNDER ADDITIONAL PROGRAM OF PULSES The programme is planed to be implemented for the promotion of summer moong in zaid 2011-12

13. STATE’S EXPERIENCE IN IMPLEMENTATION OF A3P Summer Moong crop was taken up which is sown in the month of March-April. It gives Additional income to the farmers. It improves soil health. By visiting crop in clusters, the other farmers are motivated for growing Summer Moong due to bumper & additional yield. Reduction in use of nitrogenous fertilisers for the following crop.

15. STATUS OF ONLINE SUBMISSION OF PROGRESS REPORT The Quarterly Progress Reports of NFSM (Wheat and Pulses) are being submitted online from State and Districts.

16. STATUS OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT TEAM The Project Management Teams have been constituted in the concerned Districts.

17. BRIEF OVER-VIEW OF NFSM & A3P Wheat area Increased by 2.61%. Wheat production increased by 13.40%. Wheat productivity increased in all the districts ranges from 2.24% to 17.90%. Ever highest contribution of wheat to central pool during 2010-11. Increase in area and production of pulses by 206 % and 196% respectively. Soil health improvement and Reduction in cost of cultivation.

18. CONCURRENT EVALUATION Concurrent Evaluation has been completed in three districts.

19. SPECIFIC ISSUES AND SUGGESTIONS Allocation of funds for special component reduce to 5% instead of 29%. Provision for technical staff on regular basis. Provision for vehicles for mobility. More funds for machinery component.
