Issues
TRADITIONAL WISDOM……RESEARCH
•Areas fit for potential inter cropping have to be identified
•Suitable crop combinations are to be worked out
•Appropriate varieties of main and inter crop for better synchronization
may done
•Non availability of quality seeds
•GAP for various situations: Agronomy, Biotic and Abiotic stresses
•Mechanization: Seed Drill,Harvester etc
•Non standardized technology
•PHM
•Procurement
•Yield data recording
STAGNATION ….Why?
•Differential Impact of Technology
•Low Productivity
•Technology packages for various situations not available
-Rainfed
-Ghats and
-Hill regions
-Uplands
Rice bunds
•Varietal breakthrough
Identify region specific intercropping systems in the states
Development of Package of Practices with the help of ICAR/
SAUs
Identification & making available critical inputs & essential
technologies
 Capacity building of farmers/ FPOs/ FPCs, ext.
functionaries/ para ext. workers
Convergence of diff. central/ state govt. schemes/ missions
Organisation of FLDs / Demonstrations on large scale
 Proper assessment of yields from intercropped area
Impact evaluation
 Making available seeds of improved/ hybrid varieties
suitable for intercropping systems
 Providing Composite minikits (Major + Intercrop)
Use of Broad Bed Furrow (BBF) Planter for sowing
Soil Health Card (SHC) based nutrition management
 Use of fungicide/ trichoderma for seed treatment
Use of IPM technologies suitable for both crops
 Popularisation of intercropping thr’ print & electronic
media and publicity material
