Strategies and Initiatives for XII Plan
NEED FOR CROP DIVERSIFICATION
Encouraging results of new initiatives BGREI (Bringing Green
Revolution to
Eastern India)
Increase in production in some States to meet most of their PDS
requirements
Alarming groundwater depletion due to rice cultivation.
Increasing Electricity subsidy bill
Need to sustainably manage natural resources of the state for future
generations.
Consequently, Punjab must diversify from rice-wheat rotation, primarily rice
The Govt. of Punjab has submitted Memorandum to GoI on 29.10.2012 for Diversification of State Agriculture away from Paddy.

Creation of an efficient marketing infrastructure and mechanism for alternate crops
Availability of quality seeds for alternative crops.
An appropriate national trade policy in agriculture for export led diversification.
Opening of trade for all crops through Wagha Border and provision of freight subsidy.
Adequate funding for technology generation and dissemination
Infrastructure for agro-processing through rural industrialization

Specific Issues of the State
ISSUES
Crop Diversification
Climate change.
Stagnating productivity and increasing cost of production
thereby decreasing margins of farmers.
Non procurement of alternate crops at MSP.
Degradation of natural resources i.e. soil, water and
environment.
Attack of yellow rust on wheat
Good Agricultural Practices and Success Stories
Rice• Use laser land leveler for precision land levelling before puddling to
enhance on farm water use efficiency and other farm inputs• Restrict to timely sowing of nursery(second fortnight of May) and
timely transplanting schedule (second fortnight of June) for better grain quality, water saving and low building up stem borer
• Use Leaf Colour Chart for nitrogen application• For the management of bacterial leaf blight disease, grow rice
varieties PR 111, PR 113, PR 115 , PR 121 and PR 122
Laser land leveler Leaf Colour Chart
………..Rice• Use tensiometer for scheduling
irrigation• To save water, plant early maturing
variety PR 115• Stop irrigation about a fortnight
before maturity• Avoid transplanting paddy in poor
sandy soil• Regular monitoring of insect
population • Synthetic pyrethroids should not be
used for the control of rice insect-pests
• Use seed treatment to avoid seed borne disease.
• Avoid mixing of varieties of basmatiTensiometer
Cotton• Grow only recommended varieties / hybrids resistant / tolerant to cotton
leaf curl viral disease.• Must soak delinted seed in water for 2-4 hours.• Heavy pre-sowing irrigation is must to obtain good germination and
early establishment of plants.• Give 4 sprays of 2% potassium nitrate (13:0:45) starting at flower
initiation, at weekly interval.• Eradicate alternate hosts of cotton leaf curl virus/volunteer cotton plants
before sowing, to avoid the multiplication and spread of disease.
LH 2076
………Cotton• Avoid growing bhindi, moong, arhar, castor, dhaincha in
and around the cotton fields to avoid simultaneous build up and spread of pests and diseases to cotton.
• Follow cultural control for management of mealy bug.• Spray to control jassid only when it reaches economic
threshold level of second Injury grade i.e. marginal cupping of leaves.
• Avoid tank mixing and use of readymade insecticidal mixtures.
• Follow Insecticide Resistance Management (IRM) strategy for effective management of insect pests.
• Use fixed type hollow-cone nozzle which discharges 600 ml of spray material per minute for efficient pest control.
Bt Cotton• Grow only recommended hybrids Bt cotton.• Avoid sowing Bt cotton in light sandy soils.• Give first irrigation 4-6 weeks after sowing
depending on soil type. Last irrigation in September is must.
• Grow non Bt cotton as refuge on the periphery of Bt cotton to prevent development of resistance against Bt in bollworms.
• Control sucking pests and tobacco caterpillar as and when situation arises.
Maize
• Grow maize without any preparatory tillage with zero till drill after conventional or zero till sown wheat.
• Sow the maize in trenches made by tractor /bullock drawn ridger from end- May to mid- June to facilitate easy and economical irrigation during dry and hot weather conditions.
• Use of Leaf Colour Chart for nitrogen application
• To avoid flooding, drain away excess water by making a drain of adequate capacity at the lower end of the field. LCC in maize
PulsesMoong• Grow yellow mosaic virus
tolerant varieties of moong PAU 911, ML 818, ML 613
• Inoculate the moong seed with recommended Rhizobium culture at the time of sowing.
• Grow moong without seed bed preparation with zero till drill after conventional and zero till sown wheat
PAU 911
…….PulsesMash• Grow mash varieties Mash 114
and Mash 338 which are fairly resistant to yellow mosaic virus, bacterial leaf spot and cercospora leaf spot diseases. Mash 338 is also tolerant to jassid and whitefly.
Arhar• Sow arhar without any tillage
operation with zero till drill after conventional or zero till sown wheat
Mash 114
……Pulses
Soybean• Grow improved varieties
SL 744 and SL 525 which are resistant to yellow mosaic virus. SL 525 is also tolerant to stem blight and root-knot nematode.
• Inoculate the seed with specific bacterial culture at sowing to supplement the nitrogen supply to the crop.
SL 744
….soybean• Treat the seed with Captan or Thiram @ 3g/kg
of seed against soil borne disease. If soybean is being sown for the first time in the fields, use bacterial culture only.
• Sow soybean without any tillage operation with zero till drill after conventional or zero till sown wheat
• Grow soybean on raised beds in medium to heavy soils
• The rows should be covered with wheat or paddy straw to ensure proper germination and seedling emergence.
Sugarcane• Grow varieties fairly resistant to red rot i.e. CoJ 85, CoJ 83,
CoH 119, CoJ 88, CoS 8436 and CoJ 89 .• Use recommended seed rate to ensure good stand of the
crop.• Avoid late planting of sugarcane as it reduces tillering and is
more attacked by insect pests especially shoot borer.• Keep the crop free from weeds using recommended chemical
and cultural control measures• Do not apply excessive dose of nitrogen than recommended.
Over dose will cause lodging of the crop, resulting in poor cane yield and quality.
• Do not allow the crop to suffer from drought especially during hot months.
• Save the crop from lodging by earthing up and propping• Protect the crop from frost by irrigating
Sugarcane Trench Planter
• Use paired row trench planter for sugarcane planting.
• It saves 15-20% irrigation water
• It gives 8% higher yield than conventional planting
Oil SeedsGroundnutImproved Varieties• Grow SG 99 variety which is tolerant to
bud necrosis disease.• Avoid sowing groundnut in the same
field year after year, as this practice results in heavy build up of soil-borne disease.
• Prefer P from superphosphate. In the wheat-groundnut rotation, if the recommended dose of phosphatic fertilizer has been applied to wheat, its application to groundnut can be omitted.
• Expose the soil to the sum during May and June to reduce nematode population.
SG 99
Sesamum• Grow sesamum on well-drained, sandy-loam
soils.• Prefer sowing of RT 346 variety which is
moderately resistant to Antigastra capsule borer. • Sow this crop in the first fortnight of July after
receipt of adequate rain or with the application of pre-sowing irrigation. The early-sown crop suffers from phyllody-virus disease.
Other CropsGuar• Grow recently recommended new variety of Guar
HG 365 which is an early maturing variety (105 days).
BEST PRACTICES ADOPTED• Laser land leveling• Bed planting/DSR/Zero tillage• Maximum area covered under HYVs• Maximum usage of certified/quality seeds and Adoption
of Seed Treatment• Fertilizer to be used on soil test basis• Timely sowing of Paddy and transplantation after 10th
June.• Promotion of Hybrid maize and its plant population.• Promotion of IPM technology in Cotton, Paddy and
Maize.• Relay cropping in standing cotton crop.
