Abstract/Description: | In recent years, climate change pertains to significant rise in the frequency of extreme weather events affecting the productivity of crops. Another climate change feature significantly influencing agro eco systems in the change in seasonal rainfall patterns. Enhancing resilience of agriculture to climate risk is of immense importance for protecting livelihoods of farmers. Rainfed agriculture in India accounts for about 60 per cent of the net cultivated area which supports 40 per cent human and 60 per cent livestock population. The contribution from agricultural sector towards GDP is very crucial as 65 – 70 per cent of the population is mainly dependent on agriculture for their livelihood. The Agricultural growth in dryland areas is determined by the bio-physical and socioeconomic factors and their interactions. Rainfed agriculture is diverse and risk prone mainly depending on rainfall. Location specific technologies are essential to attain sustainability in agriculture in these areas. The All India Co-ordinated Research Project for Dryland Agriculture (AICRPDA) main centre, Ananthapuramu was started in 1971 and has carried out commendable research work on dryland agriculture for the past four and half decades. This project has been carrying out location specific adaptive research on rain water management, soil and water conservation, crops and cropping system, farming system crop improvement, energy management, integrated nutrient management and alternate land use systems. This publication contains the essence of important technologies developed for profitable rainfed farming including improved crop varieties, soil test based fertilizer application through integrated nutrient management, insitu and exsitu water conservation methods like rain water harvesting, farm ponds, crops and cropping system, seed to seed mechanization in groundnut, contingency plans for climate exigencies and farming systems approach for enhancing health and income. I compliment Dr. B. Sahadeva Reddy, Chief Scientist, all other scientists and staff involved in bringing out this publication entitled “Success Stories in National Innovations on Climate Resilient Agriculture”. I am sure that this publication would form a valuable source of scientific information for scientists, extension workers, stake holders/farmers and all others engaged in the development of dryland agriculture to improve productivity in rainfed agriculture and enhance the livelihood security of farming. |
