She encouraged the farmers for cultivation of oil seeds and pulses. She discussed pest and disease management in current crops like paddy, maize and cotton. Paddy cultivation is not profitable under the existing water resources, cultivating various types of id crops instead of paddy in Rabi season can not only cultivate more area but also earn more profit to the farmers. With the water required for cultivation of one acre of paddy, id crops can be cultivated in an area of at least 2 to 8 acres. Crop rotation reduces the number of insects and pests that destroy crops. Sowing id crops reduces the shortage of pulses, oilseeds and vegetables. Crop rotation with pulses improves soil fertility. Green gram and castor crops can be sown from September 15 to October 15, Groundnut, gram, maize, sweet maize, ragi, mustard and safflower crops can be sown from October 15 to November 15, Sunflower can also be sown from November to December.
