Abstract/Description: | Managing weather risks, particularly delayed onset of south-west monsoon and agricultural drought, is the key challenge in rainfed agriculture. A decrease of one standard deviation from the mean annual rainfall often leads to a complete loss of the crop. Dry spells of 2 to 4 weeks during critical crop growing stages cause partial or complete crop failure. Under National Innovations in Climate Resilient Agriculture (NICRA), the 23 network centres of All India Coordinated Research Project for Dryland Agriculture (AICRPDA) conceptualized Real-Time Contingency Plan (RTCP) implementation to manage weather risks. The RTCP was implemented, both on-station and on-farm trials/demonstrations, with two pronged approach i.e. preparedness and realtime contingency measures, with established village level institutional mechanisms. During the Sixth Annual Review Workshop of AICRPDA-NICRA held during 25-26 May, 2018 at ICAR-CRIDA, the trials/demonstrations at both on-station and in 55 AICRPDA-NICRA villages in 24 districts across 15 states, were critically reviewed. The Technical programme 2018-19 was strengthened at 23 centres including collaboration with All India Coordinated Research Project on Agrometeorology, ICAR-IIOR & AICRPs on Castor/Sesame/Niger, ICAR-IIMR & AICRPs on Millet Crops, and NICRA-KVK villages. During 2018-19, the onset of monsoon was delayed by 15, 18 and 20 days, respectively in NICRA villages of Garhwa, Faizabad and Rewa districts. The crops experienced 2 to 4 dry spells in NICRA villages in Akola, Anantapuramu, Bhilwara, Bengaluru Rural, Vijayapura, Bhiwani, Indore, Parbhani, Jamnagar, Solapur and Mirzapur districts during kharif and 2 to 4 dry spells in Lakhimpur, Garwa, Bastar, Samba, Vijayapura and Thoothukkudi districts during rabi season. The interventions to cope with delayed onset of monsoon and seasonal drought were demonstrated in more than 1000 farmers’ fi elds in 55 villages. The real-time coping measures helped in enhancing the crop yields and more income to the farmers. The salient achievements of AICRPDA-NICRA technical programme 2018-19, both onstation and on-farm, are presented in this document. I compliment the team of scientists from PC Unit, AICRPDA and 23 AICRPDA centres for implementing the technical program and for generating realtime data on impact of NICRA programme. We are highly grateful to Dr. T. Mohapatra, Secretary (DARE) & DG, ICAR, New Delhi for his valuable guidance to the project. We profusely thank Dr. K. Alagusundaram, DDG (NRM) In-charge & DDG (Agril. Engg.), Dr. S. Bhaskar, ADG (A, AF & CC) and Dr. S.K. Chaudhari, ADG (S & WM) for all the guidance and support to AICRPDA from time to time. We acknowledge the support of Dr. M. Prabhakar, PI, NICRA, PC, AICRPAM and scientists of NICRA-KVKs. We are also highly thankful to all the participating farmers from 55 AICRPDA-NICRA villages across the country for their participation, contribution and support. |
