Analysis of the above table indicate that besides national gap there is wide gap in
productivity within state and even within same agro climatic zones.
The reasons for this variation are:
Farmers are using Deshi varieties of Bajra, guar, moong, month, Til,Castor whereas
the recommended varieties as mentioned above will definitely improve the
productivity.
Lack of Availability of good quality seeds of desired crops and the availability of
variety in adequate quantities and the time for sowing to the farmers.
Availability of water for cultivation (0.01% is irrigated )
The productivity gap and reasons of it indicate potential to increase the productivity
through crop demonstration. Crop demonstrations would be carried out on improved
crops/ varieties, improved agronomic practices. INM, IPM, Mixed cropping, distribution of
fodder seed mini kit. Demonstration of improved methods and economics of fodder crops
cultivation and also distribution foundation seeds of Forage Crops for further
multiplication, introduction of fodder crops in the existing crop rotations.
