Abstract/Description: | I am extremely happy and privileged to present the annual report of ICAR-CRIDA for the year 2017- 18. During the reporting year, ICAR-CRIDA has made eloquent progress in technology development and dissemination associated with climate change in rainfed agriculture and dealing contingencies in agriculture and allied sector. The institute has received copyright for “Unreaped yield potentials in major rainfed crops and scope for bridging yield gaps - A decision support system”. ICAR-CRIDA along with SAUs and KVKs prepared contingency plans at district level for all the 126 agro-climatic zones of the country (623 districts) to deal with weather related aberrations. An IFS module with cotton, vegetables, fodder and small ruminants with farm pond using portable raingun at Chenchu tribal farmer field implemented in Petrallachenu village of Nagarkurnool district showed positive impact on socio economic condition of the farmer with total net income of Rs. 96,605/- over the traditional system of growing only rainfed cotton, which gave negative returns of Rs. (-) 3600. A small scale solar powered micro-irrigation system was designed and installed for small farmers having one acre or less land under farm pond system for growing vegetables. The assessment based on daily rainfall dataset, annual average effective rainfall and runoff percentages helped in developing the expected runoff in various rainfall zones, which could be used to estimate the runoff in meso-scale watersheds. Seven inbreds of maize (DTL2, SNJ2011- 03, SNJ2011-37, SNJ2011-26, Z101-15, Z32-12 and HKI7660) were found to be promising for use in crop improvement programme under rainfed conditions. 4:4 strip intercropping system of sorghum and pigeonpea with relay horse gram performed better compared to traditional 2:1 intercropping system. In a study on resource conserving technologies, conventional tillage recorded 15% lower maize yields as compared to conservation agriculture practices. Intensive system of rearing livestock not only improved the profitability but also significantly reduced methane emissions as compared to semi-intensive and extensive systems. Heat Load Index (HLI) and Temperature Humidity Index (THI) was found to be better choice for comparing heat stress in extensively and intensively reared sheep, respectively. A rotary implement for weeding operation was developed to effectively utilize low horse power tractor for field applications. A raised bed planter cum herbicide applicator was developed and the design was transferred to Avanthi Bufa Industries Ltd., Jahirabad. Farmers’ first project, envisaged to transfer rainfed technologies with objective of doubling farmers income is being implemented in 4 villages of Pudur mandal of Vikarabad district. Among 12 pigeonpea genotypes AKT-8811, PUSA-33, GRG-276-1 and RVK-274 were the high yielders in both unstressed and rainfed conditions. An econometric analysis of impact of climate change on crop yields showed that the impacts would be more severe and widespread towards the end of the century. Under changing climatic scenarios, runoff is not expected to vary much in Vijayapura district under low or medium emission scenarios, but the high runoff potential available under the present scenario itself shows substantial scope for rainwater harvesting and its utilization for supplemental irrigation. Decreased grub duration with increased predation capacity of M. sexmaculatus on A. craccivora with elevated CO2 indicated increased predation in future climate change scenarios. For assessing the real time climate change impacts on crop water requirements, SCADA Preface based rainfall simulator and precision lysimeter was designed and developed by using state of art process automation instrumentation in climate change research complex at Hayathnagar. Rotavator, cultivator and disc plough + harrow recorded higher GHG emissions and global warming potential, whereas animal drawn implements recorded lower emissions. Evaluation of the performance of different crops under organic, inorganic and integrated production systems showed that yield of sunflower was 14 and 7% higher under integrated management (1374 kg/ha) than that of under inorganic and organic management, respectively. Supplementation of chromium propionate @ 200 ppb can help in mitigation of heat stress in grazing lambs. An experiment to evaluate 36 elite clones of short rotation and high biomass yielding multipurpose tree species (M. dhubia, Casuarina, B. balcoa, D. sisoo and Eucalyptus) was established at Hayathnagar Research Farm. The KVK under technology assessment and refinement has assessed 17 technologies through 115 trials on crop varieties, integrated crop management, horticulture and livestock management. 269 Frontline demonstrations on 19 technologies were conducted in different disciplines. It also organized 115 need based and skill oriented training programmes on various aspects of improved technologies to 3005 clientele farmers and filed level extension workers. Two special skill development programmes allotted by Department of Horticulture, Government of Telangana in the disciplines of “ farm pond construction and lining” were organized for 520 rural youths. Exemplary performance of its scientists were visible as two scientists attended trainings/exposure visit outside the country and 52 graduate and post graduate students carried out research work at ICAR-CRIDA. Sustained performance of its scientists were exhibited in terms of 20 scientists of Institute receiving several awards, fellowships, copyright and recognition from national academies, professional societies and other institutions. The scientists of the institute published a total of 116 research articles in international and national journals, 29 books/bulletins including 2 in Hindi and 112 book chapters. The contributions of scientists also appeared in the form of a number of policy papers, bulletins, popular articles, presentations in conferences, e-publications and radio and television programmes. The collaborations with several Ministries and Departments, SAUs, NGOs and Private Industries reflect its commitment to work hand-to-hand with grow together and finding the technological solutions to the problems of farmers in rainfed regions of India. I would like to place on record my sincere gratitude to Indian Council of Agricultural Research for its continued guidance and support. I appreciate all the committee members of annual report for their timely compilation and shaping this report in time. |
