Sowing of Kharif crops
The GOI has identified 60,000 villages in the major pulse growing
states (AP, Gujarat, Karnataka, MP, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and UP)
and are planning to provide 6,000 tractors, along with planters
and rotavators in custom hiring mode. The funds will be provided
from out of Rs. 300 crore allocation announced in the budget for
increasing production of pulses and from the Rashtriya Krishi Vikas
Yojna funds. Farmers will have to bear only the cost of diesel,
driver's wages and equipment maintenance, estimated at Rs. 500 a
hectare. This works out to 50 per cent subsidy on the present cost
of field preparation & sowing.
Total area sown under kharif crops at all India level is 652.1
lakh ha as compared to 581.07 lakh ha in the previous year as on
23rd July 2010. This reveals that 71.03 lakh ha more
area have been tilled as compared to the previous year.
About 65.48 % of the normal area under Kharif crops has been sown
upto July 23, 2010.
Increase in the area sown for Kharif is reported for all crops
except for sorghum, maize, blackgram & soybean.
