CONTINGENCY PLAN – KHARIF - 2015
Introduction: The Gujarat state situated at 200 1’ and 240 7’ N Latitude and 680 4’ and 740 4’ E
longitude. The total geographical area of the state is 196 lakh hectares which is 6% of the total
area of country. At present, out of Total geographical areas of Gujarat State about 88% is under
arid and semi-arid types of climate. In most parts of Gujarat State except South Gujarat, have
arid and semi-arid climate, due to this situation, uncertain, uneven and erratic rainfall arises in
the state. Around 90% of pearl millet, 60% of sorghum and cotton, 80 to 90% of groundnut and
more than 50% of pulses produced from this area. Due to uncertain and erratic rainfall, the
production per unit area is low along with non-satisfactory yields of the crops.
Why Contingency Plan?
Indian Agriculture is primarily rain-dependent. While the onset progress and withdrawal
of the monsoon decide the crop planning, the temporal and spatial variability in the monsoon
decide the crop planning, the temporal and spatial variability in the monsoon activity influences
the crop productivity and requires contingent planning on regular basis.
Contingency planning refer to mitigate any unexpected, unusual, unfavorable and hence
unwanted accidental weather situation as well as Alnino like weather situation occurring at
any time without prior knowledge at any time before the crops are sown or even after the crop
are sown. The contingency crop planning therefore is proposed to mitigate such situation
through the choice of appropriate crop and varieties, cropping systems or other necessary
relevant farm practices.
In vagaries of monsoon many technologies are developed to sustain the Agricultural
Production, but farmers are not acquainted with these information. Even every year farmers
suffer due to vagaries of monsoon and breaks of varying duration of rain is common. To
overcome these situations, contingency plan is useful to mitigate the situation.
Gujarat Climate:
Gujarat weather, an inevitable part of the geography of Gujarat, has certain
characteristics that mark it special among the other western regions of India. Gujarat weather is
marked by an arid and dry climate, with a little bit of rain during the monsoons.
Gujarat weather shows two distinctive traits. In the northern region, Gujarat weather is
marked by a dry and arid climate; whereas in the south, one can find a moist weather owing to
the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Cambay.

Normally, the Gujarat weather is divided into four major seasons:
The winter season (November - February)
The summer season (March - May)
The monsoon season (June - September), and
The autumn season (October)
Winters in Gujarat are mild, pleasant and dry. The day temperature in winter is around
83° F and at night is 53° F. Summers are extremely hot, with the day time temperature being
115° F, and the night temperature being 90° F. In Gujarat, monsoon is generally hot and utterly
humid. The temperature at day is 100° F but at night it falls down to 80° F. Sometimes severe
flood also occurs in some parts of the region during monsoon.
Soils of Gujarat:-
The major group of soils such as deep black, alluvial soils, laterite soils, medium black
soils, sandy loam soils, sodic soils, hilly soils, desert soils and forest soils, the details of areas
include in different groups are given in soil map.
Rain :-
The monsoon is, indeed, a characteristic feature of the Gujarat weather because the other
parts of the western India is devoid of any rainfall. Studying the geography of Gujarat, one can
find that the rainfall in Gujarat varies from place to place - the average rainfall varies from 33 to
152 centimeters. The northern region receives a rainfall ranging from 51 to 102 centimeters;
whereas the southern region receives 76 to 152 centimeters of rainfall.

Rainfall in the southern regions of Saurashtra and the Gulf of Cambay is low compared
to the other parts of Gujarat. The arid regions around the Rann of Kutch faces an acute scarcity
of water, due to lack of rainfall in these areas. Last ten years rain data as follows.

Agro-Climatic Zones of Gujarat State
Gujarat’s agro climate can be categorized as very heterogeneous and it constitutes about
20 per cent of arid and 9 per cent semi-arid areas of the country (Next to Rajasthan). Vast area
of Saurashtra Kutch and North Gujarat falls under arid to Semi-arid .It comprises low and
erratic rainfall where, even Kharif crops requires one or two Life Saving irrigation.
The winter is mild cold, whereas summer is hot. Agro climate of the state divided in to
eight sub regions in respect of rainfall, temperature, humidity and geographical situation.

Crops and Cropping pattern:-
State has distinguished agriculture seasons broadly divided in to Kharif, Rabi and
summer season. Out of 125.82 lakhs ha. of gross cropped area , 70 % area is cultivated under
Kharif crops, 25 % area cultivated under Rabi crops and 25 % area is being cultivated under
Summer crops. Most of the Kharif crops are depends on rainfall however; back up supports of
one or two life supporting irrigation is crucial due to erratic nature of rain. Rabi and summer
crops are life supporting irrigation except in “Bhal” and other low laying area.
The areas under Non-food crops, (Oil seeds, commercial and horticultural crops) is
higher than food crops (Cereals and Pulses). The major crops are listed below.
Kharif : Cotton, Groundnut, Sesame, Castor, Paddy, Bajara, Maize, Tur,
Green Gram, Sugarcane
Rabi / Summer : Wheat, Rice, Maize, Mustard, Gram, Groundnut, Bajara
Horticultural Crops : Mango, Sopata, Banana, Guava, Aonla, Ber, Date – Palm, Custard
apple, Cumin, Fennel, Isabgul, and Vegetables.
Gujarat is largest producer of Castor, Cotton, Sesame, Groundnut and Spices in the Country
along with monopoly crops like Dates, Kesar Mango, and durum wheat, Fennel, Cumin and
Isabgul.

Drought:
The moisture deficit which results when the amount of water available in the soil
is not sufficient to meet the demand of potential evapotranspiration.
Drought is natural hazard that differs from other hazards as it has a slow onset,
evolves over months or even years and affects small pockets to a large regional expanse.
Its onset and severity are often difficult to determine. As a result there is a lack of
urgency in response. Like other hazard, the impacts of drought span economic,
environmental and social sectors and can be reduced through mitigation and
preparedness. Because droughts are a normal part of climate variability for virtually all
regions. Characterized by extended periods of water shortage, it is important to develop
contextual plans to deal with them in a timely, systematic manner as they evolve.
Drought is just not the scarcity or lack of rainfall, but an issue related to water
resource management.

Contingency plan for crop production:-
The contingency plan for the Kharif is worked out to minimize the risk and to protect
crop from major failures.
For avoiding crop losses due to adverse effect of irregular and erratic monsoon the
contingent planning should be based on the following points.
1. Late onset of monsoon.
2. Dry spell during crop period or long dry spell in the monsoon.
3. Early withdrawal of monsoon.
For the purpose of contingent crop planning for the above said three situations the state
can be broadly classified in to three agro climatic zones based on the previous experience
1. Middle and South Gujarat,
2. North Gujarat, Kutch and
3. Saurashtra region.
Normally monsoon starts in the second week of June in South and Middle Gujarat region
and it extends to North Gujarat by late third and fourth week of June. The monsoon withdraws
by the end of September in most parts of the state.
Due to large variations in the rainfall, the contingency plan to meet aberrant conditions
especially in drought prone areas is very much necessary. The farmers are to be guided very
urgently, so that the risk can be minimized by implementing the proposed programme.
The broad outline for growing alternate crops, crop management etc. in the event of
above said three climatic situations for three broad based agro climatic condition of the state are
given in Appendix-II.
The contingent crop planning based on the degree of onset of monsoon for Middle and
South Gujarat, North Gujarat and Saurashtra-Kutch region for choice of crop variety for a given
crop is given in Appendix-III.
The information regarding availability of certified seed/quality seed for Kharif-2015 is
tabulated in Appendix-IV which shows sufficient availability of seed during the season
The information regarding the requirement of fertilizers is in Appendix-V for Kharif-2015
Steps needed to derive full benefit from
I. NORMAL ONSET OF MONSOON ( 16TH JUNE TO 1ST JULY)
When rains are received normally, the following steps are needed to derive full benefit.
(A) General Practices
1. Land shaping and soil conservation including contour bunding should be practiced on a
watershed basis.
Gujarat State contingency Plan kharif-2015
- 27 -
2. Adequate water harvesting and water storage practices should be adopted for use at later
stages as supplementary irrigations.
3. Land preparation operations should be completed before on-set of monsoon so that
timely sowing can be done with soaking rains.
4. Set rows if practiced should be across the general slope of the field.
5. Organic manure like F.Y.M. and compost manure and recommended dose of fertilizer
should be applied.
6. Sowing of groundnut, pearl-millet, sorghum and cotton with the onset of monsoon is
quite necessary. Proper plant stand establishment will help in making full use of limited
water available for the crops.
7. Inter-culturing and weeding should be done timely.
8. Seed treatment and timely plant protection measures should be adopted.
9. Mixed/inter-cropping practices are profitable.
(B) Choice of crops and its varieties

(C) Other suggestions
1. To minimize risk under sole crop of groundnut inter-cropping of groundnut and castor in
3:1 ratio of crop rows in retentive soils should be followed.
2. Mixed/inter-cropping system should be included in the farm planning
3. Excessive inter culturing does not help in increasing crop yields so, does not do this
operation frequently
II. DELAYED ONSET OF MONSOON (1ST TO 15TH JULY)
To manage with the possible situation due to late on-set of monsoon, farmers of arid and
semi-arid region, as well as of the tribal areas of the sub-humid region, where rainfall is
normally assured but crops are raised under rainfall conditions, are being advised to adopt dry
farming technology. Farmers are advised to conserve rain water in situ conditions especially by
adopting cultivation practices across the slope and forming a deep furrow at an interval of 10”-
12” in lines.
The farmers are also advised for a contingent crop planning to adopt the following basic
recommendations.
1. Sown early maturity crop
2. Transplanting crop which is seedling is ready
3. Watershed approach in conservation of soil and water.
4. Conservation of runoff water in farm pond.
5. Preparation of land in advance of monsoon.
6. All agronomic practices across the slope.
7. Maximum use of farm yard manure.
Gujarat State contingency Plan kharif-2015
- 29 -
8. Application of fertilizer as per recommendation.
9. Sowing of groundnut, Bajra, Jowar and Cotton in Kharif immediately on the onset of
monsoon.
10. Complete control of weeds.
11. Maintenance of maximum plant population in a unit area.
12. Timely plant protection.
13. Adoption of inter cropping to reduce the risk.
14. Adoption of recommended variety especially short duration High yielding variety
(HYV).
15. Conservation of moisture by timely inter-culturing and use of plastic as mulch.
16. Adoption of relay cropping in late rainfall conditions.
17. Farmers are advised to recharge their wells & tube wells during monsoon season so
that in case of scarcity water from wells & tube wells can be utilized.
18. For paddy crops if nursery is not raised , germinated seed should be utilized with SRI
method
The following recommendations are also advised to the farmers of arid and semi-arid
region through T&V system and transfer of technology approach.
1. Adoption of proper seed rate of different crops.
2. Seed treatment to protect seeds from disease / pest.
3. Supplementary irrigation at the time of critical stages of moisture especially to the
groundnut crop. Similarly for other crops also depending upon the demand and
availability of water.
4. Effective use of scarce water during crop sowing and adopting alternates furrow
irrigation; using modern technique of irrigation wherever possible.
5. To reduce the cost as well as the risk in dry farming, it is advised for timely sowing,
gap filling, weeding and fertigation.
6. Adoption of HYVs having short duration and resistant to water scarcity condition.
Steps suggested are as under:
A. When there is a failure of rain during June and early part of July but normal rains received
during late July, crops suggested are :
(a) Sorghum : CSH-6, CFS-4, 5, GFAS-11
(b) Black gram : T-9, Gujarat Black gram 1 and 2
(c) Green gram : Gujarat-2, GM-4
(d) Sesame : Purva-1
(e) Castor : GAUCH-1, GCH-2, GCH-6 , and GCH-7
Gujarat State contingency Plan kharif-2015
- 30 -
Pigeon pea : BDN-2 & GT-100, 101, GT-1, AGT102, 2 VAISHALI
Under delayed rainfall conditions, sorghum is better than pearl millet.
B. If rains are delayed beyond the end of July, then following crops should be sown.
(1) Sesame : Purva-1
(2) Castor : GCH-2, GCH-4, GCH-5 and GCH-7
(3) Sorghum : Fodder type : CSV-21F, S-1049, Gundari, C-10, GFS-4,
(4) Maize :- African Tall
C. If rains are delayed till last week of July, it is not suggested to sow groundnut, pearl millet
or sorghum (Grain purpose).
III. NORMAL ONSET OF MONSOON FOLLOWED BY LONG DRY SPELL
Under this type of situation, if the first crop fails, the following crops can serve as mid-
season corrections.
(i) Sorghum Grain purpose :- GJ-38, GJ-39, GJ-40, GJ-41
(ii) Sorghum fodder purpose :- CSH-6, GFS-4, GFS-5, GAFS-11
(iii) Sunflower :- EC-68414, Modern GS-1, 2 & 3
(iv) Sesame :- Gujarat sesame –1, 2, 3 & 4
(v) Castor :- GAUCH-1, GCH-2, GCH-4, 5, 6 & GCH-7
After a long gap if rainfall is received towards the end of August or early September, following
crops can be taken.
(i) Sesame : Semi rabi (Purva-1)
(ii) Sorghum : Solapuri, GFS-4 (fodder type)
(iii) Safflower : Bhima, Tara
(iv) Sunflower : EC-68414, modern
(v) Pigeon pea : BDN-2, Vaishali As a relay crop in groundnut
(vi) Horse gram : chaffa, Guj Gram-2
Other Suggestions:
(i) As per the availability of irrigation water life saving irrigation should be given to the
crop in alternative furrow. Moreover drip or sprinkler irrigation system to irrigate the
crop at critical crop growth stages should be used.
(ii) Pest and disease infected plants should be removed.
(iii) Mulching should be used (organic or Plastic)
(iv) Frequent soil mulching should be follow in black soil.
(v) Frequent light interculturing operation should be done to avoid the evaporation losses
of soil moisture.
(vi) In Castor crop, the leaves from the plant should be reduced
(vii) Keep the crop in weed free condition

4 Bajara Flowering stage & milking stage
5 Maize Silking & milking stage
6 Tur (Pigeon pea) Pod formation
7 Cotton Ball formation
8 Tobacco Growth stage
9 Sugarcane Tillering & Maximum vegetative growth stage
10 Castor Flowering pod formation and seed setting stages
11 Pulses Flowering pod formation stage
12 Sesame Tillering, flowering capsule formation
IV. EARLY WITHDRAWAL OF MONSOON (BEFORE 31ST AUGUST)
Steps are suggested as under
(1) Thinning the plant population
(2) Minimize evaporation losses through complete removal of weeds.
(3) Soil cracks should be closed by inter-culturing operations.
(4) Apply supplementary irrigation at critical stages if water available
(5) Harvest at intervals as the plants show physiological maturity.
(6) Run-off collections in the early part of the monsoon can be used for supplemental
irrigation in the later part of the crops life cycle.
V. DELAY WITHDRAWAL OF MONSOON OR PROLONGED MONSOON SEASON
(AFTER 20TH SEPTEMBER)
Rainfall received during extended monsoon season can be utilized to take a rabi crop.
Some-times, satisfactory late rains are received during end of September or in early October. To
take advantage under such situations, it is recommended to adopt the following practices.
(1) Relay cropping of safflower, sunflower, fodder type of sorghum and mustard.
(2) Second crop like safflower, sunflower, gram and mustard after harvesting of early
Kharif crops.
(3) Ratooning of hybrid sorghum
Gujarat State contingency Plan kharif-2015
- 32 -
(4) Crops possessing deep root system, less water requirement, early maturing and
minimum risk involving should be selected. Crops like
Chickpea Guj. Chickpea-1, Guj. Gram—2, Dahod Yellow chaffa
Fodder sorghum GJ-9, CSH-8, S-1049, GFS-4, FS-35
Fodder maize African Tall
VI. CONTINGENCY PLAN FOR HEAVY RAINFALL
Due to heavy rainfall, crops, which were sown as a pre monsoon Kharif crops, fruit, &
vegetable crops were lost or heavily damaged. In this situation the resowing of Kharif crops in
flood affected area is required. There by re-sowing is recommended as per Agro-climatic region-
wise contingency plan are as under:
1. Immediately drain out excess water from field.
2. Sowing of pulses crops like Tur, Udid, and Soya bean should be under taken when
Vapsa condition set in soil.
3. Transplanting of Paddy in areas where paddy seedling are available.
4. Drill paddy & Coarse cereals crops to be sown as early as possible.
5. To improve drainage system in vegetable crops.
6. Timely transplanting of vegetable seedling should be done.
In some area rice beds are filled with water & seedling are not ready in this situation farmers are
advised to broadcast pre-germinated paddy, paddy seeds after puddling in rice beds.
Judicious Use of Water:-
State receives rainfall from middle of June to September, since the state is located at
peripheral boundary of the main South West monsoon; the distribution of rainfall has been
extremely uneven and irregular. The amount of rain and its distribution during the monsoon
season also varies to a great extent from year to year at all places. Hence it is difficult to
maintain and increase, the per hectare production, without irrigation, as water resources in the
state are limited as compared to the total requirement of various crops especially in case of early
withdrawal of monsoon, when the crop require one or two protective irrigation to avoid crop
failure.
The status of irrigation potential and its utilization.
Irrigation facility is a key factor in increasing agriculture production. The ultimate
irrigation potential through surface water as per the latest estimate is assessed at 42.37 lakh
hectares, which includes 17.92 lakh hectares to be irrigated through Sardar Sarovar (Narmada)
project. The ground water resources are relatively limited and some of the ground water
Gujarat State contingency Plan kharif-2015
- 33 -
resources are almost fully exploited in different parts of the state to the point of ecological
degradation. There is an urgent need to curb the over exploitation of water and the only
alternative left is augmentation of water resources through surface water.
Some important activities carried out by the State Government for the Development of
after resources are as under:-
Water requirement of crop at different stages Different crops have different requirement
for water. Some require water throughout the life cycle, while others need relatively less amount
of water and even some crops need different Quantity of water at various growth stages. For
better utilization of water, proper irrigation practices of crops must be viewed as per water
requirement of each stage of plant growth.
Growth of all plants can be broadly divided into three stages with regards to irrigation
practices for vegetative, flowering & fruiting. For most of crops, there are different critical
periods in the growing season, when high moisture level must be maintained for high yield. If
there is enough moisture for germination and for the development of any adequate stand, the
critical period almost always secured at the later part of season. When water supply is limited
knowledge of critical stage of crop growth either respects to moisture is essential for judicious
practices of water application.
