The productivity of crops in Bundelkhand region of central India is very low due
to undulating terrain, low water holding capacity, low fertility, hostile climate and
unfavourable edaphic conditions. To conserve natural resources for enhancing the
productivity and profitability, five technologies during rainy season (1. Supplemental
irrigation to soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] through rain - gun during dry spells, 2.
Integrated nutrient management (INM) in soybean, 3. Deep tillage in sorghum
[Sorghum bicolor (L.) Monech]/soybean, 4. Intercropping of sorghum + black gram
[Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper] and 5. Sorghum + surface mulching of sunnhemp
(Crotolaria juncea L.) and another five technologies during winter season (1. Micro irrigation
To wheat (Triticum aestivum L.emend. Fiori and Paol.) through raingun, INM
in wheat, 3. Intercropping of chickpea (Cicer arietinum) + Indian mustard
[Brassica juncea (L.) czernj and Cosson], 4. Wheat preceded by green manuring and
5. Indian mustard proceeded by green manuring) were demonstrated at farmer's
field in 10 villages in 10 ha area covering 14 - 20 farmers per season during 2008 - 09
to 2009 - 10 in Datia, Madhya Pradesh. Results of 2 years revealed an increase in
yield ranging from 7 - 20% in wheat, 36 - 60% in soybean, 27 - 42% in sorghum, 18%
in Indian mustard and 16% in chickpea under demonstration plots as compared
to those under conventional practices (CPs). Water use efficiency (WUE) increased
from 26 - 47% over the CP during rainy season and from 19 - 64% during winter season
over the CP. Monetary benefits over conventional practice ranged from ` 1,500 -
11,900 ha - 1)
