Availability of Linseed seed is an issue
Issues
Fertilizer
• MRP Rationalization of N, P & K fertilizers
• Fright rate concern?
• Fertilizer lift from Rake point by W/s & R/s?
Seed subsidy
• Increase subsidy on cereal and pulses seeds as its base price high
• Power driven dibbler for wheat New varieties
• Heat tolerant cultivars in Wheat
• Short duration with high yield potential in Wheat Seed availability
• More varieties suitable for Nutri farms Moisture in field
• Plan to prepone Rabi, If there is no Rainfall in the1st week of October, moisture will be an issue
