Major Constraints• Rainfed Condition – Most of the crops grown on rainfed condition, stress at
critical stages, three years out of five years are drought years in Rajasthan.
• Unfavourable weather Condition – Continuous rains, stress at maturity, high temperature at maturity, frost during winter season.
• Cultivation on poor lands.
• Varietal constraints – Lack of high yielding, which are immune to insect, pest and diseases, resistant to cold and drought.
• Seed constraints – Lack of availability of improved seed, high prices of seed, higher seed rate.
• Agronomical constraints – Weed infestation cause 20-25 % loss, proper seed treatment with bio fertilizers, timely sowing, lack of adoption of intercropping of pulses with components crops.
• Major insects and pests - Pod borer
• Major diseases - Blight, root rot, mosaic, wilt.
• Lack of suitable machinery (seed drill)for inter crop sowing
• Fluctuation in market prices.
• Post harvest losses 25-30 %.
Strategy/Approach
• Selection of villages and farmers • Capacity building of farmers• Soil sampling and nutrient analysis• Timely supply of minikits of component crops• Sowing of intercrops in recommended row ratio • Organization of cluster demonstrations of intercrops of pulses with cereals• Crop monitoring

Focus Areas
1. Districts with high potential but relatively low levels of productivity performance shall be identified 2. Diagnostic analysis of the reasons of gaps in production and productivity will be performed 3. Extension functionaries will be geared up to encourage farmers for adopting intercropping of various prevailing pulse crops.4. Timely availability of pulses seeds shall be ensured with other required agro inputs.5. Farmers will be trained through FFS mode on
demonstration sites.
