Possibility?
Strength
• Short duration crops
• Village Tanks
• Farm Ponds
• Manpower
• Will of Farmers
• Encouragement of Department
Farming system may be intensification at
Ramanathapuram District
• Inclusion of a short-season crop during the
fallow period.
– Pulses : Blackgram, Greengram, Cowpea
– Gingelly
– Ragi
• Summer-dry crops:
– Cotton
– Groundnut
• Other crops
– Green fodder – Mini payiru, fodder cumbu
– Green Manure – kolinji,
Inclusion of a short-season crop during
the fallow period.
• Rice-fallow cropland areas are those areas where
rice is grown during the kharif growing season
(June–October), followed by a fallow during
the rabi season (November–February).
• Suitable for a short -season (≤3 months), low water-
consuming grain legumes such as black gram, green
gram, cowpea…
• Intensification (double-cropping) can improve
smallholder farmer’s incomes and soil health via
rich nitrogen-fixation legume crops as well as
address food security
Options
• Water use
• Early establishment
• Yield enhancement
• Drought mitigation
Water Use
Water Use
Early Establishment
• Biofertilzer
• Micronutrient application
• Weed management
Pulses
• Short duration varieties
• Weed management
• Foliar nutrient application
or Pulse wonder
• YMV
Groundnut
COTTON
• Compact, short duration
– CO 17
– Yugank
• Rainfed /Summer adapted
– SVPR 2
– SVPR 5
– SVPR 6
– K 12
Cotton
• Mix 12.5 kg of micronutrient mixture
• In Mg deficient areas apply MgSo4 @ 20 kg/ha basally.
• When reddening occurs in leaves apply 5% MgSO4, Urea
(1.0%) and ZnSO4 (0.10%) as foliar spray on 50th and 80th
day to correct this malady.
• Nip the terminal portion of the main stem: terminal
portion of 15th node (75 to 80 DAS) for less than 160 days
duration and duration beyond the 20th node (85 - 90
DAS).
• Foliar application of
2% DAP + 1% KCl
improve kapas yield.
Gingelly
Soil
• Well drained, medium textured soil
• High clay and irrigation of saline water not preferred
MN mixture
• Apply TNAU MN mixture @ 7.5 kg /ha for rainfed sesame
– Add 5 kg of Manganese sulphate per hectare
– ZnSO4 Foliar application 0.5% (or) soil application of 10
kg/ha.
• Thin out the seedlings to a spacing of 15 cm between the plants
on the 15th day of sowing and 30 cm on 30th day of sowing.
• Enriched manure, by mixing P fertilizer with 750 kg FYM or
compost or vermicompost kept for 40-45 day. After 45 day apply
as a basal dose to enhance P availability and crop productivity.
Millets
Drought Mitigation
Increasing Cropping Intensity by
Intercropping in cotton, chillies, Coconut
