1.ADDITIONAL AREA:
(a)
It is proposed to increase the pulse area during summer by
preponing kharif for 15days.steps were taken by district administration to
release water by june 1st.so, kharif transplanting shall be completed by
june ending so that kharif crop comes to maturity by October ending or
Nov 1st week. in this way Rabi crop can also be taken up early i.e,second
fortnight of December. Thus the Rabi crop completes by March ending
giving scope for 100% sowing of summer pulse crop. In this way it is
proposed to increase summer pulse area by 75%
(b)
Farmers are keeping the Paddy field bunds idle during the crop
season. Hence it is proposed to sow Red gram on field bunds during
Kharif season in the Mandal. An area of 300 ha is likely to be covered
under the scheme. A quantity of 174 Kgs of Redgram ICPH 2740 is
received and kept ready for distribution. The village wise area particulars
are appended.

D.Saving of Fertilizers by following Soil Test based recommendations:
Soil Testing Programme was taken up on massive
scale in 40% of the total area during this year and 450 number of Soil Samples
are collected by using GPS system, and sent to the Laboratory for analysis.
During Previous years lot of emphasis was given on use of Fertilizers as per Soil
Test data. Previously farmers in the Mandal used to apply more of Urea, which
leads to Pest and disease incidence and increased the cost of cultivation. Efforts
were made to reduce the consumption of Urea by way of Conducting ATMA
demons and Training Programmes.
Reducing the Use of Phosphatic Fertilisers to 1/3 based on Soil Test, use of P
solubulising bacteria and conjunctive use of organic and inorganic fertilizers
increases soil microbial and fertility status besides reducing cost of inputs by 510% and improving soil health and productivity.
E. Micro nutrient supply during 2015-16:
It is found in the Soil Test data that, the Organic matter content in
the soil is Low to Medium and the available Phosphorus status is Low to
Medium and the Available Potash is High. With reference to the Micro nutrients
40% of the area is low in Zinc content in which the micro nutrient analysis is
being done. So, the micro nutrients viz., Zinc, Boron and Gypsum are indented
and placed in the PACCS in the Mandal and distribution is going on through
MPEOs and Farmers Facilitators. 5 Mts of Zinc Sulphate and 130 kgs of Boron
was positioned in the Mandal for distribution to the farmers.
3.Varietal replacement:
As Uppalaguptam mandal is under delta region so varietal replacement is needed
in place of MTU-7029 (Swarna)
Farmers are habituated to grow MTU-7029(Swarna) variety. But it is highly prone
to lodging besides susceptible to BPH and Sheath blight. Hence it is proposed to
replace the Swarna variety in 5% of the total area. In this context, Seed of MTU1061 and 1064 was supplied to the farmers through private outlets in the
Mandal.
Seed Supply:
A quantity of 2166 qtls of MTU-7029 was supplied(Sheet enclosed) through 1
PACCS and 9 Private outlets located in the Mandal.
Under quality control programme, 13 Seed samples were collected from the
outlets and sent to the Laboratory for arranging analysis.

4.Good Agronomic Practices:
 By adopting good agronomic practices the yield can be increased without
invest of additional inputs.
 Encouraging timely early sowings thereby avoiding cyclone and heavy rains
during October and November
 By adopting Direct Sowing, more area can be brought under cultivation with
available water.
 Shallow planting and planting two seedlings per hill improves the tiller count
and productive tillers.
 Water management i.e., maintaining field in saturated or near saturated
condition improves the number of tillers, which in turn improves the
productive tillers also. Mid season drainage during mid tillering stage helps
in checking the un productive tillers.
 Popularizing granular urea and Neem coated Urea which releases N slowly
there by reduces the wastage of Urea.
 Encouraging Green manure usage through supply of Seeds on Subsidy.
5.Cost Reduction:
 Soil Test Based Nutrient recommendation for sustainable soil health:
 Reducing excessive use of nitrogen for cost reduction and minimizing the
incidence of pests and diseases
 Control of indiscriminate use of pesticides
 Promotion of Non-Pesticide Management (NPM)for Quality produce
 Popularising different methods of organic inputs like vermicompost,FYM,neem
coated urea,Neem cake,Bio-gents& Biopestcides
 Promoting Direct seeding/ SMSRI for cost reduction and timely sowing
 Adoption of flood and lodging tolerant varieties in cyclone prone area increases
yield by 20-25%(4-5qtls/acre)
6. Strengthening of Extension
Pollampilusthondi: Intensifying Polampilusthundi program and
developing measurable indicators for assessing the impact of different
intervention like
pest and disease control,
selection of right chemicals
dosage ,balanced use of fertilizers,
varietal replacement etc
Chandranna Rythu Kshetralu :
Chandranna Rythu Kshetralu of 25acres each organized @1per MAO and
MPEOs. Best management practices re demonstrated n each crop for
increasing production and productivity levels. Placing to MPEOs n the
mandal strengthen the extension to reach to village level and regular
contact with farmers.
Farmer facilitator have been appointed to utilize maximum quantity of
micronutrient by the farmers
7.Farm Mechanization
 Farm mechanization programme was taken up in the Mandal with an aim
to reduce the cost of cultivation and timely conduct of agricultural
operations in the Mandal. The following farm implements and Plant
protection equipment were supplied in the Mandal during 2013-14 and 1415.
 From 2014-15 online system is introduced farmers can apply from
mee-seva
 From 2014-15 70% subsidy is given for SC/ST

FARM MECHANIZATION PROGRAMME IN UPPALAGUPTAM MANDAL
DURING 2013-14 AND 14-15.
8.IT applications:
The following IT applications are used which will be directly useful to the
farmers
 Online soil health card generation
 Interest Free crop loans Automation of transactions
 Agricultural services available through Mee seva services
 Work Flow for application of Farm implements-Mee seva
 Online input License Management system (OLMS)-Fertiliser monitoring up to
retail
 Seasonal related messages of all crops forwarded to our mandal farmers
(approximately 10000 nos) through M-Kisan portal
Mandal Specific activity:
 Organic farming is done 10 acres last year
 Cultivation of Basmathi variety is done in 2014 kharif
 Direct Seeding practice was invented by the farmers of this Mandal .Labour
shortage during critical periods of crop growth necessitated the farmers to
go for direct seeding in Paddy, particularly in Rabi season. The farmers in
this area are highly skilled in hand broad casting the 12-15 Kgs of Seeds
per acre. The advantages of direct seeding through broad casting method
are
 The nursery maintenance cost is avoided
 No nursery pulling, transportation and transplantion charges.
 No transplantion shock to the plant
 The duration of the crop is cut down by 5-7 days.
 The yield increases by 4-5 bags per acre when compared to transplantion
method.
 Over all cost cultivation reduced by 4-5 thousands per acre when compared
to transplantion method.
INTRODUCING IMPROVED MANAGEMENT PRACTICES RICE
• Adoption of flood and lodging tolerant rice varieties in flood and cyclone
prone areas – increases of yield by 20 – 25% (4-5 Q/acre) and problem
exists over 0.20 lakh Ha varieties :MTU 1064, MTU 1061 & MTU 1075
• Large scale farm mechanization using rotavators, appropriate
transplators, plant protection equipment and harvesters reduce the cost of
cultivation by 10% (labour etc) and yield by 5 – 10% (2-3Q/ha)
• Promoting Direct Seeding/drum seeding/MSRI for cost reduction and
timely sowing. Yield increase 5-10% and cost reduction 10%.
• Wide adaption of green manuring in light soils and reclamations of salt
affected soils using gypsum can increase yield by 10 – 15% (4-5 Q/ha)
approximately over 0.10 lakh ha (salt affected) approximately
• Reducing the use of ‘P’ fertilizes to 1/3 based on soil test, use of liquid Psolubelizing bacteria and conjunctive use of organic and inorganic
fertilizers increase soil microbial and fertility status besides reducing cost
of inputs by 5-10% and improving soil health and productivity.
Interventions in Black gram& Green gram :
• Promoting Yellow Mosaic resistant varieties like LBG-752,PU-3 in black
gram & LGG-460 in Green gram
• Increasing the area in rice fallows and as summer pulse.
• Promoting use of gypsum & micronutrient application
