Priority Thrust Areas

S.N.	Thrust Area
1. (TA-1)	The District suffers adversely with problem of flood and water logging covering a large area almost every year. This can be tackled by popularizing water-logging rice varieties i.e., Madhukar (Flooded situation) and Jal Priya & Jal Lahari (Water-logged condition) in these problem soils.
2. (TA-2)	About 78 percent area is under irrigation yet per hectare productivity of cereals. Oilseeds; pulses are low in the district. this poor productivity is only due to lack of knowledge and unavailability of improved variety seed. So there is need of dissemination of need based and location specific appropriate technology among the farming community. Beside this seed replacement programme should also be taken up on massive scale by involving progressive farmers and rural youth in self-seed production programme.
3. (TA-3)	A vast area of the district about 3000 ha is under sodic soil (usar) which is lying uncultivated due to zero or nominal yield potential. There is need of planned efforts to change usar land green by Appropriate usar reclamation technology.
4. (TA-4)	There is only 3 percent area under horticulture in the district, it has got very conducive atmosphere for developing fruit belt. The technology of fruit plantation of agro forestry is to be disseminated among the farmers through imparting skill training and adoptive trails/ demonstrations.
5. (TA-5)	Mau, Ghosi, Kopaganj. Adari, Doharighat and Mohammdabad are some of the few towns around which vegetable production may be profitable business. Effort should be made and popularize important seasonal vegetable and vegetable seed production programme in the nearly villages around these towns.
6. (TA-6)	The district has very poor breed of cattle, to overcome this problem there is need to undertake cross breeding programme top promote the cattle development. Mau city is dominated by Muslim population; there is big scope for Broiler farming, goat keeping, and back, and back yard poultry.
7. (TA-7)	Improved agricultural implements i.e., Zero Till machine, Paddy Drum Seeder, Ridge Maker Disc harrow, Seed cum ferti-drill, paddy transplanter and reaper are in less use. There is need of skill oriented training/ demonstration of these implements for proper land preparation, seed and fertilizer placement and saving of labour/ man power.
