Normal Paddy area in Kharif is 16.42 lakh ha and rabi 8.05 lakh ha.Total Rice fallow Pulse
in the State is 3.5 lakh ha.
0.8 lakh ha Summer Rice fallow in East and West godavari Districts.0.8 lakh ha will be
covered with Summer Pulse, if the harvesting of rabi is before March 2014.
There is a potential of 2.7 lakh ha Pulse during rabi in Krishna,Guntur,Vizianagaram and
