This document summarizes corn production highlights from various Indian states presented at the India Maize Summit 2015. Key highlights include: - Telangana and Andhra Pradesh saw increases in corn area, production, and yield from 2012-2013 to 2013-2014. Coastal Andhra is distinguished as the highest daily corn productivity. Farmers incur costs from weeding and early shoot borers with mixed returns from rainfed vs irrigated crops. - Bihar saw decreases in production and yield from 2012-2013 to 2013-2014, partly due to conversions of land to wheat. Rabi corn yields over 4000 kg/ha while kharif corn yields around 2000 kg/ha. - Maharashtra

AP+ TS- Yield ( Kg/Ha)• Rabi is principally cultivated as Paddy
fallow or Cotton fallow and in Kharif
majorly cultivated as a rainfed crop. Coastal
pocket of Andhra is distinguished as the
highest per day productivity of Corn
• With labor being intensive, farmers are
incurring huge cost towards weeding
operation in the form of herbicides and
manual weeding but unable to get proper
control
• Early shoot borer is the other important
pest for which no proper control is being
imparted. The ROI is good under assured
irrigation but bit challenging under rainfed
conditions.
• Farmers are looking for mechanized
sowing and harvesting in near future.

• ROI per acre:
- With estimated yield : Yield per
acre for Irrigated areas - 25 qtls
and Rainfed area -17 qts in
Maharashtra.
- Cost of cultivation- Rs 12000

• ROI per acre in Punjab
- With Yield per acre : 22-25 Q & MSP:
1340-00 = Gross income: Rs. 29480 –
33500-00, Variable cost : Rs. 11363-00
( Ref : 2011 PAU unpublished report) =
Net income : Rs. 18117-22137 / Ac.
• Corn Growth Drivers In North India
- Ensuring MSP and grain procurement
at harvest
- Installation of driers to dry the grains
just after harvest for storage
- Extension program to close yield gap
between potential Yield of hybrids
and at Farmer’s field (Agronomic
recommendation implementation).

11. Challenges faced by the Farmers
• Stagnated Yield
• Labor : Cost & Timely Availability
• Rising Cost of Cultivation
• Market Prices Not Encouraging
• Lack of Organized Market
• Storage In Field Condition
• Effective Extension Support – Crop
