REASONS FOR LOW PRODUCTIVITY ØDelayed/Prolonged sowing Ø Low seed/varietal replacement ØMono cropping and lack of crop rotation ØNon adoption of recommended POP Ø Poor farm mechanization ØImbalanced use of nutrients ØPoor weed / pests & diseases management ØLack of water management ØNo assured procurement

Major recommendations Pulses & oilseeds • Adoption of seed rolling plan, indent & lifting of Breeder seeds • One year advance indent of desired varieties to public and private seed agencies through Mo. U • Strengthening of quality bio fertilizer/bio agent production and utilization • Soil test based micronutrients nutrient applications including • Adoption of line sowing , BBF, raised - bed & ridge furrow planting techniques

Major recommendations Pulses & oilseeds • Convergence of TSP funds mechanisation with NFSM to increase • Cultivation under new niches – sole, catch crop, relay crop • Utilization of rice fallow and spring/summer pulses and oilseeds • Adoption of short duration of accommodate pulses & oilseeds paddy varieties • Double crop sequence under rainfed conditions greengram followed by Bengal gram. to like

Major recommendations Pulses & Oilseeds • Transplanting and dibbling method of Tur, R&M can be promoted through demonstrations. • Promotion of Tur on rice and commercial crop bunds. • Exploitation of area potential intercropping especially in MP. • Use of sprinkler and raingun as per MNSA norms. • Convergence of MGNREGA and under other

Major recommendations Pulses & Oilseeds • Create awareness on pre and post emergence (emizathyper in soybean) weedicides. • Promotion of spiral graders for grading farmers own seeds. • Screening and identification of potential local cultivars/ germplasm. • Promote low ODAP varieties in Lathyrus. • Advance payment for Breeder Seed procurement
