Expectations from Space Application Centre
Mandate
Assist Crop weather watch group with State wise weekly crop area and crop health status
Set and monitor achievement of crop production targets
Promote crop production programs as per the priorities and the committed budgetary resources
Organization
Nine crop development directorates in the field at Ghaziabad-wheat, Lucknow,-sugarcane Jaipur-coarse cereals, Patna-rice, Kolkata-jute, Bhopal-pulses, Mumbai-cotton, Hyderabad-oilseeds, Chennai-Tobacco that liaise with State Directors of Agriculture to get weekly crop status – area and health
Project Management Teams under crop development programs at National, State and District Levels
Main Programs National Food Security Mission focused on three food
crops in selected Districts covering 50% of rice and wheat crops and almost entire pulses crops
Accelerated Pulses Production Program focused on five pulses crops Red Gram, Green Gram, Black Gram, Gram, Lentils in 15 States 1000 units of 1000 hectares each covering all farmers Dedicated Extension personnel for every 100 hectares unit
Integrated development of 60,000 pulses villages covering 174 pulses units, 30,000 farm ponds, 150 farmer producer organizations of 1000 farmers each

Monitoring and Evaluation strongly built into the programs with support of technical institutions like IIPR for pulses, CRRI for Rice, NCIPM for pest surveillance
Concerns
Crop response to the technologies promoted Varietal performance in minikits Usefulness of Agronomic practices – DSR, SRI Comparison with baseline and with FLDs to assess
farmers’ preference w.r.t. constraintsCrop area and production estimates
Summer moong, Summer urad Pigeon pea intercrop with soybean, blackgram
intercrop with maize and sugarcane Additional pulses area in kharif rice fallows and on
rice bunds
Possible collaboration with SAC
Support monitoring through Assessment of area and production crop season wise Crop status over its cycle in identified clusters, groups,
areasDistrict wise disaggregated data for APY
validated by NFSM Ground truthing through crops division in clusters,
groups, fallows, summer crops, intercropsPromoting research work
to build spectral library on varieties and hybrids of interest
Pulses, intercrops, additional pulses and oilseeds area in fallows
