National Production Scenario: 2016-17

India : Largest Producer (26% of Global production).

Crop Contribution : Gram (44%); Arhar (15%); Urdbean (13%); Mungbean (10%); Others (18%).

Total Pulses : 22.14 MT > 23%, 35% & 7% of N, LY and TP.

Kharif Pulses : 8.72 MT > 41%, 58% & 20% of N, LY and TP.

Rabi Pulses : 13.41 MT >13%, 24% and at par of N, LY and TP.

Pigeonpea : 4.23 MT > 46%, 65% & 17% of N, LY and TP.

Gram : 9.12 MT > 10%, 29% against N and LY.

 Mungbean : 2.13 MT > 34% & 14% against the LY and TP.

Urdbean : 2.89 MT > 48%, 34% against the LY and TP.

N- Normal, LY- Last Year ,TP- Targeted Production

ISSUES IN PULSE PRODUCTION

 Non availability of quality seed.

 Low Seed Replacement /Varietal Replacement (SRR/VRR).

 No assured procurement and price.

 Lack of life saving irrigation at critical stages of crop.

 Low farm mechanization.

 Poor weed / pests & diseases management.

(7)

Strategy - Seed

• Adoption of seed rolling plan, indenting varieties/lifting of Breeder seeds.

• One year advance indenting of varieties including MoU with the Seed Hub programme.

• Mandatory Seed treatment with FIR (Fungicide/Insecticide/Rhizobium) to control soil borne diseases and promotion of resistant varieties.

• Increasing the distribution seed subsidy from Rs. 25/ kg to the level of 50%

of the actual cost.

• Promotion of graders for grading farmers own saved seeds.

(8)

• Strengthening seed village programme.

• MoUs with Seed-Hubs by District Agri. Officer for procurement and supply in targeted districts.

• Improving storage facility for pulses.

• Involvement of District Agriculture Officer in production of

“certified seed” based on performance of the varieties under seed minikits/demonstrated under cluster Demonstration.

Recommendations

• Assured procurement by State Govts at MSP.

• Maharashtra -3.17 lakh qtls & AP: 74,000 qtls (tur)

• Mapping of major pulse growing areas & integrating with PMKSY water resources for life saving irrigation.

• Use of quality bio-fertilizer and bio-agents (MoU with ICAR/SAUs).

• Soil test based nutrient applications including quality micro- nutrients.

• Adoption of line sowing, BBF, raised - bed & ridge - furrow planting

techniques.

(10)

• Cultivation under new niches–sole, catch crop, relay crop & Inter- cropping.

• Utilization of rice fallows and promotion of spring/summer pulses cultivation.

• Adoption of short duration of paddy varieties to accommodate rabi pulses.

• Ensuring availability of Gypsum/promotion as nutrient supplement.

• Effective pest-surveillance and community approach on management methods/techniques- replication of Maharashtra CROPSAPP Crop Pest Surveillance & Advisory Project.\

Continued...

(11)

Continued...

• Adoption of moisture conservation techniques/ contingent drainage in the event of high rainfall through promotion of ridge planter, raised bed planter and sprinklers.

• Promotion of Zero-tillage to reduce cost of cultivation/timely sowing.

• Promotion of Custom Hiring for farm mechanization.

• Convergence of fallow lands into pulse cultivation.

(12)

Continued...

• Transplanting and dibbling method of Tur planting under SCSP/TSP/ with SMF.

• PHM/Value Addition Promotion (spiral graders, cleaner, mini dal-mill- Assam).

• Screening and identification of potential local cultivars of Rajmash and Ricebean for NEH region.

 Area under Cluster Demo. of NFSM may be reduced from

100 ha to 25 ha per cluster in case area under crop is less.

 Project for wild animal/ stray cattle menace for fencing/ solar fencing(Gujarat,MP).

 MSP for Moth bean (Rajasthan-14 Lakh Ha) may be considered.

 Hoeing / weeding in major pulse districts(Raj-44% kharif moong

production) may be dove-tailed with MGNREGA.
