Contingency Plan for Eastern Uttar Pradesh
South West Monsoon season (June - September) plays a very crucial role for
agricultural production system more particularly in Kharif season, as nearly 65% of
Indian agriculture is rainfed/ rain dependent. Even during a normal rainfall year
some regions/ districts within the state may receive less or scanty rainfall. In this
perspective, timely formulation and implementation of contingent agriculture plan
helps to moderate the ill effects of inadequate rainfall on production and productivity
of crops in the areas. As the year 2014 has been foreseen to have less than normal
monsoon, it is imminent to develop the district specific contingency plan for the kharif
season. Under the circumstance of reduced monsoon, there may be three possibilities
of rain scarce situations – anticipated prolonged dry spell, delayed monsoon situation
and monsoon with longer period of dry spell. The necessary contingency measures for
all the 24 districts under eastern and north eastern agro-climatic zone of Uttar Pradesh
have been developed in this chapter under the following sub-heads.

During sub-optimal monsoon/drought, availability of green fodder is
severely reduced. To mitigate this condition and to save the livestock, the strategies
as utilizing fodder from perennial trees and fodder reserves, utilizing fodder stored
in silage, transporting excess fodder from adjoining districts, use of feed mixture
supplements may be undertaken in areas where there is scarcity of rain or drought
like situation. Besides, allow the cattle’s for grazing at barren lands after thorough
vaccination progamme against FMD, HS and BQ.
ii.
Contingent plan for drought like situation
Under drought condition, the crops should be suitably thinned out. If crop
fails to grow, it is always better to re-sow with subsequent rain. The recommended
dose of nitrogen application should be reduced by 40% under unirrigated conditions
and should always be applied at sowing/planting. At the onset of rains N fertilizer can
be top dressed.
Fodder crops of maize, bajra, cowpea, bajra + cowpea, maize + cowpea may be
taken into consideration on the availability of light showers even up to AugustSeptember.

During sub-optimal monsoon/drought, availability of green fodder is
severely reduced. To mitigate this condition and to save the livestock, the strategies
as utilizing fodder from perennial trees and fodder reserves, utilizing fodder stored
in silage, transporting excess fodder from adjoining districts, use of feed mixture
supplements may be undertaken in areas where there is scarcity of rain or drought
like situation. Besides, allow the cattle’s for grazing at barren lands after thorough
vaccination progamme against FMD, HS and BQ.
ii.
Contingent plan for drought condition
Under drought condition, the crops should be suitably thinned out. If crop
fails to grow, it is always better to re-sow with subsequent rain. The recommended
dose of nitrogen application should be reduced by 40% under unirrigated conditions
and should always be applied at sowing/planting. At the onset of rains N fertilizer can

Contingent plan for drought condition
Under drought condition, the crops should be suitably thinned out. If crop
fails to grow, it is always better to re-sow with subsequent rain. The recommended
dose of nitrogen application should be reduced by 40% under unirrigated conditions
and should always be applied at sowing/planting. At the onset of rains N fertilizer can
be top dressed.

During sub-optimal monsoon/drought, availability of green fodder is
severely reduced. To mitigate this condition and to save the livestock, the strategies
as utilizing fodder from perennial trees and fodder reserves, utilizing fodder stored
in silage, transporting excess fodder from adjoining districts, use of feed mixture
supplements may be undertaken in areas where there is scarcity of rain or drought
like situation. Besides, allow the cattle’s for grazing at barren lands after thorough
vaccination progamme against FMD, HS and BQ.
ii.
Contingent plan for drought condition
Under drought condition, the crops should be suitably thinned out. If crop
fails to grow, it is always better to re-sow with subsequent rain. The recommended
dose of nitrogen application should be reduced by 40% under unirrigated conditions
and should always be applied at sowing/planting. At the onset of rains N fertilizer can

During sub-optimal monsoon/drought, availability of green fodder is
severely reduced. To mitigate this condition and to save the livestock, the strategies
as utilizing fodder from perennial trees and fodder reserves, utilizing fodder stored
in silage, transporting excess fodder from adjoining districts, use of feed mixture
supplements may be undertaken in areas where there is scarcity of rain or drought
like situation. Besides, allow the cattle’s for grazing at barren lands after thorough
vaccination progamme against FMD, HS and BQ.
ii.
Contingent plan for drought condition
Under drought condition, the crops should be suitably thinned out. If crop
fails to grow, it is always better to re-sow with subsequent rain. The recommended
dose of nitrogen application should be reduced by 40% under unirrigated conditions
and should always be applied at sowing/planting. At the onset of rains N fertilizer can
be top dressed.

Contingency Plan for Bundelkhand Zone
Bundelkhand Region comprising seven districts of Uttar Pradesh namely Jhansi,
Lalitpur, Banda, Jalaun, Hamirpur, Mahoba and Chitrakoot with unique agro-climatic
conditions falls in the central plateau and hill agro-climatic region of India. The
Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh has two broad group of soils i.e. Red or light soils
(Rakar & Parwa) and Black or Heavy soils (Kabar & Mar). Red soils are light in texture, low
in organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus, poor water retention capacity; however, Black soils
are deep soils having fine texture with a specific property of swelling and shrinkage.
Although annual rainfall of this region varies from 850-1050 mm but suffers from frequent
droughts every after 3 to 4 years. The underground water level is low due to hard rocks. As
a result, the productivity of crops is poor and area coverage also fluctuates from year to
year. However, in general, crop productivity is very low in this region compared to
rest of the districts of UP . In Bundelkhand, only 31% area in kharif season is under crop
and rest is kept as fallow as compared to 69% in rabi season because of a unique tradition
of Anapratha i.e.letting loose animal for unrestricted grazing during Kharif season which
is also a bottleneck and against Kharif cultivation. Among Kharif crops Urdbean,
Mungbean, Groundnut, Sesame, Soybean, Maize, Sorghum and Pigeonpea are major crops
grown in different districts of Bundelkhand region. District specific contingency plan for
low and delayed rainfall conditions are given below:
1. Lalitpur
Strategies for low rainfall situations:
 Varieties of urdbean like Uttara, Azad Urd 2, Azad Urd 3 may be promoted.
 Varieties of mungbean like PDM 139, Meha, IPM 02-3, etc. may be cultivated.
 Sesame cultivars namely Shekhar, Pragati and Tarun may be introduced.
 Short duration varieties of sorghum which matures in 100-110 days only and early
maturing sorghum varieties i.e. Bundela, CSV 13, CSV 15 and Hybrid CSH 16 may be
grown successfully. Sorghum also gives protection from wilt disease if chickpea
grows in the same field during Rabi season because roots of sorghum plants produce
HCN which is helpful to control Fusarium wilt.
 Pigeonpea cultivars namely Upas 120, Pusa 992, Pusa 855, NA-1, Amar, MAL-6 may
be promoted in the area.
Strategies for low rainfall with light irrigation situations:
 Varieties of Maize: (i) Composites: Gaurav, Azad Uttam, Pragati; and (ii) Hybrids:
Prakash, Pusa Hybrid Maize 5, JH 3459 may be introduced.
 JS 335, JS 93-05, JS 75-46, PK 104288 varieties of Soybean may be cultivated under low
rainfall situation.
 Kaushal and Ambar cultivars of groundnut should be adopted by the farmers.
Strategies for delayed rainfall situations:



Awareness to the farmers on technology related to Maize with Kanchan, Surya,
Vivek 27 composite varieties; and Vivek 4 and Vivek 17 Hybrids may be created.
Sorghum: (i) Composite: Vijeta (ii) Hybrids: CSH 14 may be introduced.
