SEED PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION

• Supply of quality seed is not a one time affair,
  and it should be supplied every year for
  sustainable production.
• The responsibility of Seed Section has increased
  many folds due to distribution of huge quantities
  of various crop seeds on subsidy under various
  schemes such as ISOPOM, NFSM and RKVY.
• The primary duty of Seed Section is advance
  planning for production and distribution of
  various classes of seeds to meet the State
  requirement.

• Practices validated by ANGRAU
• Documentation
• Weekly timetable
• Advance financial assistance
• Capacity building and orientation
• Effective monitoring and supervision
• 2. Strengthening Seed, Fertilizer and Pesticide
  labs
• 3. Institutional credit and insurance support to

63
Effective conduct of Polam Badi (FARMER FIELD
SCHOOLS)

• Farmer Field Schools are organized on
  Integrated Crop Management techniques which
  includes INM,IPM and other agronomical practices
  so as to increase productivity with reduced cost
  of cultivation and improved quality for higher
  returns.
• The main principles of farmer field schools are
  followed 1).Grow healthy crop, 2).Conserve
  natural enemies, 3).Conduct regular field
  observations and 4).Make the farmers as ICM
  experts.
• Location specific production gaps have been
  identified based on baseline survey and efforts
  were made to bridge the gaps effectively
  specially seed treatment with bio-agents, use of
  high yielding and pest tolerance varieties,
  maintaining optimum plant population, use of
  fertilizers based on soil test analysis,
  correction of major micro nutrient deficiencies,
  adopting IPM practices to check the pest
  incidence.
