11
Constraintsin Rajasthan Agricultural Development

• Natural Constraints
• Rainfall is highly inadequate and aberrant
• 61 area lies in arid and semi-arid tracts where
  soils are having poor fertility, low water
  holding capacity, high infiltration rate and are
  shallow in depth in some areas
• One million ha area is under problematic soils
  (saline and alkali)
• Due to scarcity of rainfall, there is limited
  availability of ground water
• The crop suffers from high temperatures and wind
  velocity

12
Research Constraints

• Lack of suitable drought resistant, short
  duration, high yielding varieties/hybrid
  especially of cereals, pulses and cluster bean
• Limited expertise available for research in agro
  forestry, horticulture and fodder crops
• Limited information available for post harvest
  management activities in all crops
• Near absence of research facilities in
  biotechnology
• Little information on farming system based
  agriculture for different agro climatic
  conditions
• No research and package of recommendations for
  organic farming
• Package of practices for integrated pest
  management not available for many crops
• The research on efficient use of water saving
  devices like sprinklers, drip irrigation lacking
• Lack of effective recommendations on management
  of problematic soils

13
Infrastructural Constraints

• Inadequate spread of retail outlets for
  agriculture input ( 11000 outlets)
• Inadequate supply of power
• Lack of post harvest marketing and processing
  infrastructure support like cold storage,
  grading, washing, cleaning, waxing, packing and
  container services
• Farm mechanization is slow
• Poor infrastructure support for horticulture and
  vegetable crops including marketing
• pressurized irrigation systems like drip and
  sprinkler are in limited area.

Crop Development Strategy

• Targets of productivity of kharif crops set for
  XIth Five Year Plan will be achieved particularly
  in
• bajra (679 kg to 800 kg/ha)
• maize (1241 kg to 1500 kg/ha),
• moong (312 kg to 390 kg/ha) and
• groundnut (1345 kg to 1700 kg/ha).
• Efforts are required to increase the
  productivity of moth, soybean and guar.
• Our main emphasis would be on increase in
  SRR, INM and IPM
• Area under rabi crops particularly of wheat
  depends on availability of canal water
• Efforts have been made to increase the yield of
  wheat in NFSM districts, still there is a scope
  in coming three years. Spl. efforts will be made
  to increase SRR, balance fertilizer including
  micro nutrients, better water management and
  timely plant protection
• Some increase in area and yield of barley have
  been achieved, we are hopeful to achieve 4.50 lac
  ha area and 3200 kg/ha yield by the end of XI FYP
• Productivity targets of gram and mustard will
  be achieved by the end of XI FYP. Practices such
  as certified seeds, seed treatment, basal
  fertilizer application, use of gypsum as
  nutrient, timely plant protection measures will
  be the key focus of interventions.

18
Water management Strategy

• To promote water harvesting and optimal
  utilization of limited water is utmost priority
• This will be achieved by
• Promoting water harvesting in rain fed areas
  farm ponds / Water storage tanks/ Farm pond with
  plastic lining (5000 water storage tanks _at_ Rs
  3500 and 10000 farm ponds _at_Rs 75000 per
  structure)
• Promoting Diggies and Diggi cum Sprinklers in
  canal command areas
• Promote Micro irrigation system Drip and
  Sprinklers in well irrigated areas
• Increase incentives upto 75 in MIS and Water
  harvesting structures to make them viable and
  attractive
• Bring remaining 4 lac tube wells under
  Sprinklers / Drip in XI Plan period
• Involve private sector / Companies in promoting
  efficient use of water
• Organize special trainings through SAUs and
  arrange farmers visit for better water management
  practices in other states
• Start pilot projects on Cotton , Caster,
  Cucurbits / Cole crops for HI- tech farming

19
Soil Health Enhancement

• Massive increase in distribution of soil health
  cards -3.5 lac/annum
• Special software being used to generate
  Computerized soil health cards
• Village soil health cards being distributed in
  special Camps.
• All 32 districts now have soil testing facility
  with combined analysis capacity of 5.30 lac
  samples per annum.
• Block-wise fertility maps prepared- To be
  depicted on GIS
• Vermi-composting on farmers field being promoted
• Large scale use of Gypsum in Oilseeds and Pulses
  as source of nutrient nearly 70000 MT in
  2008-09
• Micro nutrients to be popularized in a big way
  in deficient areas price of Micro nutrients
  being fixed with dealers

20
Extension

• What have we done so far-
• Organization of Kisan Mahotsava / Krishi Gyan
  Aadan shivir (pre Kharif gram Panchayat level
• campaign) and Krishi Yojanaen Aapke Dwar (pre
  rabi campaign) have been institutionalized to
  reach
• out to farmers at his door step.
• Kheti-bari, a weekly TV program of
  Department-good quality and highly popular
• Kheti Ri Batan a daily Radio program with
  farmer-friendly format-phone-in, success stories
  etc.
• Inter-state exposure visits organized (nearly
  6300 farmers benefited every year)
• Successfully running Kisan Call Centre- 2nd
  highest calls in the country 63815 calls per
  year.
• ppp based implementation of extension programme
  under ATMA- organization of 49 farm schools with
• the collaboration of ITC
• Formation of 1000 FIG/CIG under ATMA.
• Large scale distribution of farmer friendly
  literature

• Strategy
• Efforts are underway for involvement of
  National /Multinational companies like Pepsico,
  Mahyco, Monsanto, Cargill India Ltd, SAB millar,
  Chambal Fertilizers, Lupin, NM Sadguru foundation
  in delivery of Extension services.
• FIG / CIG based implementation of programmes.

Outputs and Outcomes

• During 2006-07 to 2008-09, 32 new crop varieties
  developed including
• wheat (2), barley (3), chickpea (8), guar
  (2), mothbean (2), cowpea (1), mungbean (1),
  mustard (5), groundnut (1), taramira (1), desi
  cotton (1), fennel (2), coriander (1), cumin (1)
  and fenugreek (1)
• Several improved practices on INM, IPM,
  profitable cropping systems, efficient irrigation
  schedules of sprinkler drip systems and organic
  farming practices of a few cereals, pulses,
  vegetables and seed spices
• Identified new sulphydryl bio-regulators thiourea
  and thioglycollic acid for increasing yield of
  bajra, guar, moong, mustard, chickpea, wheat and
  barley. Bio-regulator also helps in mitigating
  drought, frost and heat stress in crops.
• During 2006-2008 RAU produced 19359 qtls of
  breeder seed 11081 qtls of TFL Seeds of latest
  varieties

Strategy For the StateFor Agriculture Sector
SAUs
48
Strategy- SAUs

• Need to develop water harvesting structures on
  farmers fields.
• Popularization of pipeline for irrigation and use
  of sprinkler and drip irrigation system in
  different crops for efficient use of water.
• Availability of Improved Seed Urgent need to
  make the seed of improved varieties of crop like
  maize, sorghum, urd, moong, moth, groundnut,
  soybean during kharif and gram, barley, cumin,
  coriander available to the farmers at reasonable
  rate as the SRR of these crops is very low
  compared to ideal.
• Ensure availability of quality seeds and
  seedlings of fruits and vegetables to farmers.

49
Strategy- SAUs

• Integrated Nutrient Management Need to make
  available the low-cost bio-fertilizers like
  Rhizobium, Phosphobactrin for pulses and
  Azotobacter, Azospirillum and Phosphobactrin for
  cereals and oil seeds. This is an asset for poor
  farmers of the state as these can save 20 to 25
  Nitrogen and Phosphatic fertilizers.
• Large scale demonstration of need-based
  technologies
• Farmer participatory action research for organic
  farming of horticultural crops
• Testing of private hybrids, Bt cotton and new
  plant protection molecules of private companies
• Corpus fund for research on feedback problems
  including ITKs
• Pre-release evaluation of varieties in different
  agro-ecological situations
• Establishing a Centre for Agro-Biodiversity
  Conservation
• Strengthening extension infrastructure and
  training facilities.
