Soil & Land : Status
Land use classification  Only 50 % area available for agriculture
 60 % area under Arid & Semi Arid region
 65 % area under rain fed cultivation
 66 % Small & Marginal land holders
 Soil erosion, Depletion of Water Table,
Salinity ingress / Sea Water Ingress
 21.80% saline and 19.62% water logged
area.

4
Soil & Land : Nutrient status & Issues
 Higher N2 consuming crops like Cotton,
Castor, Maize, Jowar
 Low C:N ratio
 Low use of organic manures
 Low fertilizer use efficiency
Issues & Causes
Nitrogen deficiency in Soil
Micro nutrient deficiencies
 Micro nutrient deficiency in Cotton,
Groundnut & vegetable area
 Use of N-P-K fertilizers only
 Low use of organic manures
 Mono and Intensive cropping

5
Soil & Land : Present work& Vision
 Awareness campaign for balance use of
chemical fertilizer
 2 Mobile Soil testing van equipped with
LCD & extension material
 Increase area under adoption of green
manuring (target – 25,000 ha. In 2013-14)
Present work Vision & Strategies
Awareness
Development
 Production capacity of Liquid bio
fertilizer increased up to 20 lakh liter at
the end of 2013-14.
 Promotion of arid area horticulture crops
in culturable waste land
 Soil Health Card to all farmers (42.39 lakh in
1st phase & 13.05 lakh in 2nd phase)
 Micro nutrient map at Village level – 3280
no.
 online accessibility : e-kiran
Diagnostic work
 102 Soil Testing Laboratories
 50 STLs equipped with Micro nutrient
testing facilities
 Large scale bio compost unit at Sugar Co-
operatives (2.90 lakh MT Capacity)
 SSP Production capacity enhanced up to
5.1 Lakh MT from 3.8 lakh MT in last two
years
 Promotion of Rotavator for putting back
crop residue in soil (> 22,000 rotavators
given on subsidy basis in last two years)

WATER RESOURCES
 19 major and 70 medium irrigation projects
 >1000 minor irrigation projects
 > 1.50 lakhs check dams

7
Water: Present work& Vision
 Promotion of Participatory Irrigation
Management (PIM)
 Deepening of village ponds & lining of
canal for increase the serving capacity
 Increase area under MIS with target of
1.5 to 2 lakh ha. per year
 Planning of water harvesting structure
(during 12th FYP)
 7000 village ponds
 55000 farm ponds
 12000 Sim talav
Present work Vision & Strategies
 Special incentives for MIS
 > 7.4 lakh ha. Area covered under MIS
 Electricity Connection to MIS
Beneficiaries on priority basis
 Promotion of Mulching and improved
agronomical practices
 Large scale programme for water
harvesting structure (during 11th FYP)
 6424 village ponds
 50641 farm ponds
 9766 Sim talav

8
Energy & Farm Power
 Less adoption of hi-tech equipment
 Less mechanization adoption among
small and marginal farmers
 Budget for farm mechanization
ENERGY FARM MECHANIZATION
Issues
Achievement
 Increased budget for farm mechanization
(Rs. 210 Cr. In 2011-12 & 285 Cr. In 2012-
13)
 Agro Service Provider and Custom hiring
unit for Small & marginal farmers (550 in
two year)
 Incentives for Hi- tech machineries like
Sugarcane harvester (72), combined
harvester (55) , laser land leveler (300) in
last two years
 Separated power supply for agriculture
and domestic
 Assured 8 hours agriculture power
supply at pre-decided schedule
 24 hours domestic power supply to all
villages, which supported small scale
agriculture processing units
 Electricity Connection to MIS
Beneficiaries on priority basis

9
Farm Mechanization
Gujarat Farm Power the availability increased from1.6 kW/ha. (2009-10) to
1.74 kw/ha. (2012-13) and vision for 2.1 kW /ha. By end of 12th FYP.
Strategies & Vision

10
Agriculture Infrastructure
Gujarat Agriculture Growth is well supported by good agricultural infrastructure
Cold Storage

11
Credit & Insurance
Ifwe work together at all levels, Drought is not a Disaster,
but a Management Issue.

12
Agro Advisory & Human Resources
 Traditional farming techniques in
practices
 Huge yield gaps exists between
experimental yields & at farm level
 Gaps in implementing integrated
farming approach
Key Challenges & Constraints

13
Agro Advisory & Human Resources
Interdisciplinary approach to Knowledge production
Infrastructure
Facilities
 4 Agricultural Universities,
 Agriculture & Allied sector Colleges
increased from 11 to 33 in last 5
years.
 24 Poly Techniques,
 9 ITI colleges
 8 Agriculture Training Institutes
 95 Research Stations including 14
Centre of Excellence

Technology Generation for Sustainability
technological progress in agriculture needs to become more
pluralistic and knowledge intensive for better resource
management
