Integrated scheme of Oilseeds, Pulses, Oil palm and Maize (ISOPOM)
The
Department of Agriculture & Cooperation has been implementing the following
Centrally Sponsored Schemes under TMOP&M for increasing production of
oilseeds, pulses, maize and oil palm in the country:
- Oilseeds
Production Programme (OPP)
- National Pulses
Development Project (NPDP)
- Accelerated
Maize Development Programme (AMDP)
- Oil Plam
Development Programme (OPDP)
To
provide flexibility to the States in implementation of these programmes based
on regionally differentiated approach, to promote crop diversification to
provide focused approach to the programmes and in view of the suggestions of
the Planning Commission the above four schemes have been modified and merged

Under
this scheme, financial assistance is provided to farmers for purchase of

certified seed, distribution of seed minikits, distribution of plant protection

& improved agriculture implements, supply of rhizobium culture/ phosphate
solubilising bacteria, distribution of gypsum/pyrite/liming/dolomite,
distribution of sprinkler sets and water carrying pipes, training, publicity,
etc. including free distribution of seed minikits of oilseeds and maize to
encourage all types of farmers including small and marginal farmes to grow
these crops.
