76.04%. Totally 3220 farm holdings are present with an operation of 7460.40 ha of
land. Most of the farming community falls under small and marginal farmers. The
farmers are not much aware of the latest technologies, moreover very less innovative

Some farmers, with the intervention of Dept. of Agriculture following organic
farming to some extent. Very, very few farmers are adopting non pest management,
moreover not completely following the non pest management. One Non government

5. Soil Health Profile
Vepada mandal constitutes 75% percentage of light soils 25 % of heavy soils. 50% of
the lands are uplands, 50 % are low lands. As per ISS (Intensive soil sampling) grid
system, 2048 samples have to be drawn from 2015- 2018. Out of which, 559 soil
samples are drawn althrough village wise the mandal using GPS system. The coordinates, farmer details etc are recorded and uploaded to soil sample screen. The
samples are analysed in the soil testing lab, vizianagaram. Based on the analysis, the
soils are low in micronutrients.
5.1 Soil Sampling:
The total cultivable area of the mandal is divided by a factor (7.5) and number samples
to be drawn are obtained. These samples are drawn yearly village wise covering every
10 ha of dryland and every 3 ha of wetland. The samples are drawn from each subdivision and by quartering method, prepared a composite sample. The village wise
samples drawn are presented here under Table – 8. Based on the soil test results
fertilizers ae recommended.

3.2 Fertilizers and Nutrients
As most of the farmers are small and marginal farmers, they depend on nitrogenous
fertilizers. Usage of DAP and complex fertilizers are very low in the mandal. The usage
of micronutrients in the mandal is only 1 % upto 2014-15 agricultural year. The fertilizer
stock status utilized in the last five years are presented in the table – 9.

7. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
The following is the action plan for 2015 -16 in vepada mandal.
7.1 Additional Areas
There is no water source in the mandal, hence no additional area will be added in the
mandal.
7.2
Varietal Replacement
Farmers in the mandal are more habituated to age old varieties like MTU-
7029, MTU-1001 in mostly 95 % of the area.
Constraint: Due to continuous usage of age old varieties, the incidence of pest and
disease like Blast, sheath blight, BPH etc.
Strategy : In 2015- 16, new varieties like MTU -1121, MTU-1075, IR-64,
Saubagyadha, Swarna Sub-1 varieties are distributed in the mandal. Except MTU1121 all the varieties are supplied on 50 % subsidy. As the varieties are new
varieties, the pest and disease incidence will be less.
The new varieties are first promoted in a less area and propogated in vast areas based
on the success of the variety in the mandal. The detailed variety wise seed
requirement in the mandal and expected yield to be increased are presented in Table
-11.

Zinc sulphate is applied @20 kgs/ha, in last ploughing and puddling.
Problematic soils like Saline, Alkaline, salt etc. and areas and measures taken for
reclamation (quantify): Gypsum @ 200 kgs per acre is applied during plouging operation for
reclamation of alkaline soils.
Constraint :

Usage of chemical fertilizers, though increases the immediate yield, they used to spoil
the soil health and increases the cost of cultivation.

Excess usage of the nitrogenous fertilizers, attracts the pest and disease incidence to the
crop.
Strategy :

Usage of bio fertilizers like azospirillum, phosho bacteria, improves the soil health along
with reduction of cost.

Usage of neem cake along with urea improves the efficiency of the utilized fertilizer,
along with reduced incidence of pest and disease.

Utilization of zinc sulphate @ 20 kgs/ acre improves the fertilizer uptake also.

7.4 Good agronomic practices
The present constraints and stratagies in the mandal are present here under:
Constraints
 Most of the farmers nearly 92 %, practice transplanting of paddy in the mandal. Due to
uneven disbursed rainfall although the crop period, in the last two years overaged
seedlings are transplanted, resulted in reduced yield.
 Inefficient weed management.
 Green manuring is not practicable due to less availability water during incorporating of
the the green manure during flowering stage.
 Usage of neem coated urea or neem cake is not practiced
 Clipping of leaf tips is not practiced in turn resulting in stem borer incidence in the main
field.
 Formation of alley ways is not practiced.
 Seed treatment is followed only by 30 % of the farmers.
Strategies
 In the mandal, 50 ha of paddy area is targeted to be sown with seed drill, 10 ha targeted
for drum seeder, 50 ha targeted under line sowing of paddy. With direct seeding or seed
drill, there is no significant increase in the yield but there is reduction in the cost of
cultivation.
 Efficient usage of weedicides in the paddy is targeted to improve the yield and cost of
cultivation, based on method of sowing.
 Green manuring improves the soil health, nutrient status and reduces the weeds. But it is
only practicable under assured water source during incorporation. Wherever there is
assured water source is present, green manure is raised and incorporated. (10 ha).
 Utilization of neem coated or neem cake or neem oil mixed urea application is targeted
in 200 ha in the mandal. Due to neem content usage, pest and disease incidence is
reduced and improves the the yield. Utilization of neem coated urea reduces the loss of
urea.
 Clipping of leaf tips in the nurseries is targeted in an area of 50 ha, helps in reducing the
stem borer attack.
 Formation of alley ways are targeted in an area of 50 ha to decrease the Brown plant
hopper attack, resulting in improvement of yield.
Vepada Action plan
Page 27
 Seed treatment is targeted and adopted in 300 ha of paddy. Pseudomonas @250 g per 30
kg of seed is supplied to each and every farmer on 50 % subsidy, which may reduce the
incidence of blast in nurseries and early stages of the crop.
The agronomic practices targeted in the mandal is presented in Table no- 16.

7.5 Cost Reduction
Now – a – days labour cost is increasing which is unaffordable to the farming community. This
can be decrease by use of machinery like seed drills where ever is possible. Usage of weedicides
in time, also reduces labour usage.

8. Conclusions of Double Digit Growth Rate
By the intervention of key performance indicators the growth rate of 19.75 % (Table-7)
in terms of production in paddy will be achieved along with improvement of GVA. Initially the
new innovations are practiced in less targeted area and based on its successful result it is wide
spread to large area. The farmer once accept the success of the innovative method, he will adapt
the method. Once it is spread in a vast area, the GVA is improved a lot.
