Seed Production 2013

CM seed crash programme
 Seed village scheme
 Seed production through BRBN
1. Foundation seed on SM Farm
2. Creation of new godowns for seed storage
3. Enhancement of seed processing capacity
4. Expansion of seed processing unit for pulses separately
5. Certified seed production of Rice, Wheat and
Pulses through registered organizers

Availability of Linseed seed is an issue
Fertilizer
• MRP Rationalization of N, P & K fertilizers
• Fright rate concern?
• Fertilizer lift from Rake point by W/s & R/s?
Seed subsidy
• Increase subsidy on cereal and pulses seeds as its base price
high
• Power driven dibbler for wheat
New varieties
• Heat tolerant cultivars in Wheat
• Short duration with high yield potential in Wheat
Seed availability
• More varieties suitable for Nutri farms
Moisture in field
• Plan to prepone Rabi, If there is no Rainfall in the1st week of
October, moisture will be an issue
