Abstract/Description: | In agriculture sector, the climate change/variability impacts are more pronounced in rainfed regions due to inter-annual and in-season weather aberrations such as delayed onset of monsoon and seasonal drought. Since 2011, the AICRPDA network centres, under NICRA (National Innovations on Climate Resilient Agriculture), are undertaking trials/ demonstrations, both on-station and on-farm, on already available risk resilient technologies/practices to cope with weather aberrations. To support this, institutional mechanisms such as Village Climate Risk Management Committees (VCRMCs), Custom Hiring Centres (CHCs), CHC Management Committees (CHCMCs), seed banks, fodder banks, nutrient banks etc. are established in AICRPDA- NICRA villages to enhance adaptive capacity, for adoption and upscaling of climate resilient practices. During 2014-15, the onset of monsoon was delayed by more than two weeks in AICRPDA-NICRA villages located in 10 districts in 8 states viz. Agra, Akola, Bhilwara, Vijayapur, Lakhimpur, Bhiwani, Indore, Parbhani, Jamnagar and Banaskantha. Further, there were 4-6 dry spells at different stages of crops in AICRPDA-NICRA villages in 13 districts in 10 states viz. Bhiwani, Agra, Kurnool, Vijayapur, Thoothukudi, Bengaluru Rural, Parbhani, Samba, Garhwa, Mirzapur, Lakhimpur and Kandhamal districts. The major emphasis was on real time contingency crop plan implementation and preparedness to cope with these weather aberrations with interventions such as rainwater management, drought tolerant crops/varieties, resilient crop management practices and efficient energy management. These risk resilient interventions were demonstrated in 3611 farmers’ fields covering 898 ha in 33 villages in 24 districts across 15 states. This impacted in coping with weather aberrations i.e. firstly in establishing optimum crop stands and secondly in enhancing the crop yields and income. I compliment Dr. G. Ravindra Chary, Project Coordinator (DLA) I/c and Dr. K.A. Gopinath, Senior Scientist (Agronomy) for developing, implementing and monitoring AICRPDA-NICRA technical program, and also bringing out this valuable report. I also appreciate the scientists and staff of AICRPDA and ORP centres for successfully implementing NICRA programme, particularly in the villages and generating real-time data on impact of NICRA programme. This annual report gives the details on managing weather aberrations on real time basis along with the achievements on preparedness with resilient practices. I thank Dr. S. Ayyappan, Secretary (DARE) and Director General, ICAR, Dr. A.K. Sikka, DDG (Natural Resource Management), Dr. B. Mohan Kumar, ADG (Agronomy, Agroforestry & Climate Change) for all the guidance and support to AICRDA from time to time. |
