Accelerated Pulses Production Programme (A3P) has been launched as part of National Food Security Mission (NFSM) from 2010-11 where under one million hectare of potential pulses areas for the major pulses crops namely Tur, Urad, Moong, Gram and Lentil have been taken up for large scale demonstration of technology in compact blocks. Accelerated Pulses Production Programme (A3P) is another step forward for vigorous implementation of the pulse development under the NFSM-Pulses. A3P has been conceptualized to take up the active propagation of key technologies such as Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in a manner that creates catalyzing impact by assuring farmers of the higher returns from the identified pulse crops.

Objective:

The objective of A3P are to demonstrate plant nutrient and plant protection centric improved technologies and management practices in compact blocks covering large area for five major pulse crops namely gram, urad (black gram), arhar (red gram/pigeon pea), moong (green gram ) and masoor (lentils) for increasing production and productivity of these crops. Apart from increasing the production and productivity of pulse crops by the participating farmers another objective of A3P is to stimulate other farmers in the adjoining areas to adopt these technologies.

Nutrient management technology supported by the scheme: Integrated nutrient management and biofertilizer
