Conservation of blue/green water resources for intensification
Water scarcity is one of the major factor for low crop productivity in rainfed semi-arid tropics (SAT). Studies have indicated that one or two lifesaving irrigations can substantially enhance crop productivity. Enhancing ...
Farm typology specific intensification and diveriscation options including agro-silvi-horticulture with traditional rainwater harvesting systems
Based on farm typology analysis integrated farming system interventions were prioritized in participatory mode. A total six large agri horti units has been established and linked with RWHS (Rain water harvesting structures) ...
Diversification for Income and Nutrition
Low productivity and cultivation of low-value crops in the Indian semi-arid tropics (SAT) is major cause for poor farm-based livelihoods. In this scenario, proper nutrition for children and women is also a rampant problem ...
Fodder resource development
Most of the farmers engaged in crop cultivation in semi-arid tropics (SAT) also rear cattle which is a major source of income. However, due to inadequate and low nutritious fodder resources, cattle productivity is very ...
Integrated ecosystems approach for sustainable intensification of community based silvopatoral systems in arid western Rajasthan, India: implications for upscaling
The common pastures in arid Rajasthan, India though are critically important for sustaining livestock dominant smallholder rural livelihoods and ecosystems services, but have been severely degraded due to several factors. ...
Climate variability risk analysis, WUE and NUE for cropping systems based on historical as well as future climate change scenarios
Water is the most crucial input for agricultural production. Globally, agriculture accounts for more than 80% of all freshwater used by humans, most of that is for crop production. Currently most of the water used to grow ...
Small farm mechanization
With current scenario of labour scarcity, and to develop agriculture on business lines, mechanization in modern agriculture is call of the day. On-farm mechanization is a scalable technology to improve productivity and ...
Fostering institutions for water conservation and management in Andhra Pradesh, India
Progress Report. Rainfed agriculture is a predominant land use pattern in the semi-arid dryland regions which is particularly vulnerable to climatic and socio-economic stresses. As a result of these stresses, degradation ...
Capacity strengthening on improved dryland technologies
The productivity in semi-arid tropics is low not because of lack of technologies, but mainly due to lack of awareness and knowledge amongst the farmers. Any initiative on promoting improved technologies can be successful ...
Intensification and resilience building: Evaluate High yielding and dual purpose crops/ varieties, integrated crop management ( cereals, legumes and cash crops))
A total of 124 Rabi demonstrations have been taken in seven targeted villages of CRP 1.1 The improved varieties were tested with or without recommended POP and the yield was compared with ...
