Samples drawn by Fertilizer Inspector are sent
for analysis to Central Fertilizer Quality
Control Laboratory, Navi Mumbai. During the year
2010-11, 46 samples were sent for analysis.

  manufacturing unit, which is marketing its
  product outside the State. Zinc, Magnesium and
  Boron have been identified as deficient in Goan
  soils and have been recommended to be used in
  straight micronutrient fertilizer form.

• Use of Organic Manure is being promoted through
  supply of compost to farmers towards soil health
  improvement.

• Preparation of on farm compost/vermicompost is
  encouraged through incentives given for
  infrastructure set up for compost units.

28
INTEGRATED NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT (INM)

• Regular soil samples are collected and analyzed
  for macro and micro nutrient deficiency.
• soil health cards are issued to the farmers by
  recommending appropriate fertilizer dose.
• The State has 2 STL with a capacity to analyse
  25,000 soil samples every year.
• During the year 2010-11 17609 samples were
  analyzed for nutrient and health cards issued.

36

• IMPACT OF MICRO IRRIGATION SYSTEM ON CROP
  PRODUCTIVITY

The awareness of Micro Irrigation Scheme (MIS)
can be seen as over the period of time, the area
has increased. It is expected that there will be
significant increase in area in the next couple
of years
37

• PERCENTAGE OF DIVERSIFICATION OF CROPS

There is no significant diversification as Micro
Irrigation Scheme (MIS) programme is mainly
implemented in intercrop cultivation such as
Arecanut, Coconut, with Banana and Spices
38

• CHANGES IN PATTERN OF CROP PRODUCTION

Not much of changes have been noticed
39

• AREA COVERAGE UNDER HIGH VALUE CROP

The area coverage under high value crop is
minimum.
40

• INCREASE IN PERCENTAGE OF CROP INTENSITY

The crop intensity is same and the farmers are
going for Micro Irrigation in their horticultural
crops only. However, during 2009-10, Drip
Irrigation is promoted in sugarcane crop in an
area of 2.53 Hectares and area coverage under
sugarcane drip during 2010-11 is 10.71 ha
41

• INCREASE IN NET IRRIGATED AREA

There is no significant increase in the net
irrigated area.
42

• PERCENTAGE OF INCREASE IN FARMERS INCOME

Percentage of increase in the farmers income has
risen by 15 20
43

• Bottlenecks

• Low subsidy was provided in the initial year, it
  was not beneficial and this gave wrong message to
  the farmers in general
• The area coverage in Goa being small, Drip
  irrigation companies are not keen to work in Goa
  and installation prolongs for months due to which
  farmers lose interest in the system. However,
  due to provision of 90 subsidy on drip
  (additional 40 under State Sector) and provision
  of subsidy at source, there is rising trend under
  the drip component.

44

• Bottlenecks

• Micro Irrigation in form of Micro Sprinklers/Jets
  as reported to be more beneficial in Goa instead
  of Drip Irrigation due to lighter soil and
  limited horizontal movement of water.

45
Physical Financial Target - 2011-12
46
Registrar of Cooperative Societies /Department of
Cooperation is involved in the matter of
Agriculture Marketing of notified Agricultural
commodities through Agriculture Marketing Board
Margao and seven other market sub yards with
infrastructural facilities at important Taluka
head quarters.
MARKETING
47
So far 21 agriculture commodities comprising of
Coconut, Cashew nut, Betelnut, Banana, Milk etc.
have been notified by the Government for
regulation in Goa and trading in these
commodities is regulated by issuing licences to
the traders/Market functionaries.
48
The Goa Agricultural Produce Marketing
(Development and Regulation) Act 2007 has been
framed based on the model Act prescribed by GOI
which incorporates reforms allowing direct
marketing ,Contract Farming and establishing
private Mandis/Markets etc.On approval of the
proposed rules, the act will be implemented
49
Best practices adopted by the State

• In order to increase the replacement rate of seed
  like paddy, groundnut, pulses and vegetables, the
  State Government provides 50 assistance at
  source through the network of Cooperative
  Societies (PPP Mode).
• The creation of infrastructure for irrigation is
  boosted by providing additional assistance to
  bring the total subsidy to atleast 75 for
  construction of new wells, establishing
  sprinklers, drip irrigation and pumpsets.

50
Best practices adopted by the State
Cont

• Fencing to protect cropped area with assistance
  of 50 for protection against stray/wild animals,
  including for solar power fencing which is at 90
  subsidy.

51
Best practices adopted by the State

• Provide support price for
• Paddy ? Rs. 7/- per kg
• Provide assured price to
• a) Arecanut ? Rs.100/- per kg
• b) Coconut ? Rs. 6/- per nut
• c) Oil Palm ? Rs. 5/- per kg
• d) Cashewnut ?Rs.50/- per kg (Maximum of
  Rs. 10/- per kg)

contd..4..
52
Best practices adopted by the State

• Desilting and renovation of traditional
  ponds/tanks through local Self Help Groups
  (SHG)/Non Government Organizations (NGOs) and
  individuals.
• Interest on agricultural loans is subsidized _at_
  4.
• Additional State support for banana cultivation _at_
  Rs.15,000/- per ha.
• Additional State support price for pineapple
  cultivation _at_ Rs. 30,000/- per ha.
• Stress is laid on organic farming under NHM
  specially in cashew cultivation.
