2. BACKGROUND INFORMATION ABOUT THE STATE
Lies between :
17o47 ′ to 22o35 ′,
North latitude,
81o21′ to 87o30 ′
East longitude
Comes under three
AERs : AER-11(2.1%),
AER-12(87.1 %) and
AER-18 (10.8 %)
Occupies 4.7 % of the
total geographical area
of the country.
Total population is nearly 40 million Sixty four (64 %) of the area is rainfed
The per capita land availability by 72 % of
Upland area – (46 %) 29.5 lakh ha.
the population is 0.12 ha. Medium land – (30 %) 19.3 lakh ha
Annual rainfall – 1500 mm Low land – (24 %) 15.4 lakh ha.
15. Constraints
• Limited rake points – 12 effective (out of 19)
covering 30 districts resulting in excess
transportation cost
• Only One operational Port
• Inadequate handling facilities in the rake
points
• Insufficient storage facilities
• Inadequate and untimely supply of fertilisers
• Frequent price escalation of fertilisers
17. e_Registration of Dealers
• e-Registration of existing as well as new
dealers.
• Renewal and Amendment of FRC.
• Information on Dealer Network - Easy to
access.
• Effective monitoring of receipt and disposal
of FRC applications.
• Mapping of Dealer Network.
• Transparency in licensing system.
18. On-line Fertiliser Management
• Information on availability of fertilisers at
different levels – Manufacturer /
Wholesalers/ Retailers.
• Tracking of supply chain – Manufacturers to
Retailers.
• First hand information on availability of stock
at district level.
• Effective monitoring of fertiliser distribution.
19. Micronutrient Deficiencies
Mostly Deficient Nutrients
(Extent of Deficiency )
Zinc- 19 %
Boron- 44%
Sulphur- 28%
Majority of upland soils are deficient in B
The Zn deficiency is more prevalent in
Medium & Low Land Soils
21. EXTENT OF ACID SOILS IN BLOCK LEVELS
Extent of acid soils
Entire upland
and major part
of the medium
land are acidic
About 70 % of the net sown area of the state is acidic (4096 thousand ha.)
About 21.1 % of the acid soil (13 lakh ha) with pH < 5.5) need immediate lime application.
22. Finalising the Technology Package
Fund Sourcing-
•RKVY
• STATE PLAN
•NFSM
Target- Amelioration of 13.00 lakh ha.
Acid Soils
24. Technology Package
• Dose - 5 Qtl. of Lime/ha
mixed with 8-10 Qtl. of FYM
• Method - Application in Furrows
7 days prior to sowing.
• Frequency - To be applied
at least once in a year to
responsive crops.
25. Program Execution
• Awareness Generation through
Special meetings, Publicity
Campaigns etc.
• Storage of Paper Mill Sludge at
Panchayat level
• Distribution of PMS at a
nominal User’s Charges of
`10/- per 50 kg bag
• Monitoring Changes in Soil
Health & Agronomic
Observations
