on a Sustainable Basis

INTRODUCTION
Among the oilseed crops, soybean is the major contributor to the world’s oilseed economy
followed by rapeseed mustard, cotton, peanut, and sunflower. The most important tropical
oilseeds are the coconut, palm kernels, and groundnut. The major oilseed-producing areas
are in temperate zones. America and Europe together account for more than 60% of the world
production of oilseed whereas substantially small production (<5%) comes from tropical ar-
eas such as Africa, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Both oilseed and oil production have consis-
tently increased over the years to meet the ever increasing demand for vegetable oils. Among
the oilseeds, soybean is the chief oilseed crop. Brassica spp. is the second largest oilseed crop
after soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.), surpassing peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.), sunflower
(Helianthus annuus L.), and cottonseed (Gossypium hirsutum L.) over the last two decades
(FAO, 2010; Agricultural Outlook 2010–19). Palms are grown predominantly in the tropical
areas of the world as perennial trees and are an important source of vegetable oil. About two-
thirds of the total fat oil production is supplied by oilseeds, with palm oil having a maximum
share of 33%. Copra, cotton, palm, peanut, rapeseed, soybean, and sunflower are the oilseed
crops, which dominate the international markets for trade purposes.
India has agroecological conditions that favor growing nine oilseed crops (Hegde and
Sudhakara Babu, 2000). These oilseed crops consist of seven edible oilseeds – groundnut,
rapeseed mustard, soybean, sunflower, sesame, safflower, and niger – and two nonedible

sources – castor and linseed. Apart from this, a wide range of other minor oilseeds and oil-
bearing tree species are grown in India.
India is, in fact, the largest producer of castor, sesame, safflower, and niger and the second
largest producer of groundnut and rapeseed mustard. Oilseed constitutes the second largest
agricultural commodity after cereals in the country, sharing 14% of gross cropped area and
accounting for about 5% of gross national product and about 10% of the value of all agri-
cultural products. Nearly 14 million people are involved in the production of oilseed and
another 1 million in its processing.
In spite of India’s premier position in terms of cropped area and production, its oilseed
productivity is one of the lowest. Moreover, the contribution of India to the world’s annual
oilseed production is less than 10%. Besides this, the per capita availability of oil is calculated
to be about 9.2 kg against the world average of 11 kg. A recommended per capita require-
ment of 14 kg has been specified by India’s Council of Medical Research. Furthermore, the
demand for edible oils both in quantity and quality is increasing due to an increase in popu-
lation, which was 1.21 billion in 2011 (Luna, 2011) and is presently more than 1.25 billion
(Gupta, 2014). Because the population is annually increasing at 1.8% and the oil consumption
rate is increasing at 6%, the per capita consumption of oils and fats has doubled during the
past 15 years. Annual demand has been growing at a rate of about 6% over the last 13 years
touching nearly 12.5 million tons during 1998–1999.
In light of the above, India witnessed an alarming edible oil scenario during the early
1980s due to low production and productivity, and heavy import of edible oil. Between 1981
and 1986, India imported edible oil worth Rs. 38,870,000,000. Owing to a heavy outflow of
foreign exchange for edible oils, next only to petroleum products, the government of India
set up the Technology Mission on Oilseeds during May 1986. Due to the concerted efforts of
this mission, a quantum jump in oilseed production, from 10.83 million tons to 25.21 million
tons (1998–1999), was achieved, with productivity increasing from 570 kg ha–1 to 932 kg ha–1
(Sudhakar et al., 2000).
During 2002 the consumption of vegetable oil for the population of 1027 million was 9 mil-
lion tons at an estimated per capita consumption of 8.74 kg, whereas its total consumption was
12.3 million tons at a per capita consumption of 10.7 kg during 2010 when the population was
1120 million. The demand for edible oil both in quantity and quality is increasing due to the
increase in population and improvement in the standard of living in addition to a growing in-
dustrial demand. The annual demand which was 125 million tons (Gupta, 2009) has now risen
to over 130 million tons, whereas production is barely 75 million tons. To meet this requirement
for edible oil consumption, oilseed output is required to be 42.24 million tons. An integrated
oilseed development program was initiated in different Indian states, with more than 3000 oil-
seed societies involving 11 million farmers and 25 million hectares of land, with the purpose of
increasing oilseed productivity (Gupta, 2009). However, despite these efforts, oilseed produc-
tivity still continues to be as low as 944 kg ha–1 compared with the world level of 1632 kg ha–1.
Presently, there is not much scope to expand the cultivable area used for oilseed. The con-
tinuous shortage of cooking oil would suggest that the Oilseeds Technology Mission, and the
growing of oil palms, has had little impact. These energy-rich crops suffer from a number of
constraints as they are grown in poor environments and are susceptible to pests and diseases.
Moreover, farmers prefer to grow high-yield varieties of cereals and thus earn more profit.
In light of the above, the improved technology developed to boost the output of the major
oilseed crops to meet the country’s needs for edible oil needs to be used by farmers both
14 1. Strategies for Increasing the Production of Oilseed on a Sustainable Basis
Integrated pest management (IPM) is a broad ecological approach to managing insect pest
problems rather than their complete eradication. The IPM approach, in fact, is the best mix
of all available methods and techniques that are used for total crop management in order to
keep the pest population below the economic threshold level. Greater emphasis is placed on
the use of resistant varieties of crops to pests (diseases, cultural control, fertilizer and soil
water management, and use of botanical pesticides).
Cultural Control
Cultural methods such as crop rotation, deep tillage, removal of weeds, and adjusting
sowing/harvesting time should be followed to maximize prevention of pests and diseases.
Botanical Pesticides
Botanical pesticides that have been found less persistent in the environment and safe for
mammals/other nontarget organisms should preferably be used to control various insect
pests. Commercial products/formulations prepared from such trees as neem (Azadirachta
indica), drek (Melia azedarach), and bael (Aegle marmelos) should preferably be used over syn-
thetic or chemical pesticides to control insect pests.
Today, neem is the most promising source of botanical origin biopesticides. Neem owes
its toxic attributes to a number of bitter compounds called meliacins such as azadirachtin,
nimbin, and salanin, of which azadirachtin is the most potent. These products affect pests by
functioning as feeding and oviposition deterrents, insect regulators, and toxicants. Any pest
escaping one effect may get killed by the other effects. Neem has been found effective against
more than 200 pests including locusts, hairy caterpillars, pod borers, stem borers, beetles, jas-
sids, aphids, and mealy bugs (Chander and Munshi, 1995; Gupta and Singh, 2008).
The crushed roots of marigold (Tagetes erecta) provide good control of root knot nematodes
when applied to soil. The seed extract of grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) can be used to control
potato beetle. Garlic acts as a repellent for control of various insect pests. The root extract of
drumstick (Moringa oleifera) inhibits the growth of several bacteria.
Botanical pesticides such as rotenone, pyrethrum, ryania, and nicotine were in vogue be-
fore the advent of synthetic pesticides. However, these botanicals were thereafter relegated
to insignificant positions in pest control. Pyrethrum is extracted from the dried flowers of
chrysanthemums (Chrysanthemum cinerariefolium). It has a rapid knockdown effect on flying
insects and is effective against household pests, etc.
