International Conference on Reimagining Rainfed Agro-ecosystems: Challenges &<br />

Opportunities during 22-24, December 2022 at ICAR-CRIDA, Hyderabad<br />

and reduce the risk involved in the crop failure and it has been reported that IFS are <strong>of</strong>ten less<br />

risky than single enterprises-based production system. IFS enables farmers to strategically<br />

modify the allocation <strong>of</strong> inputs (land, water, and pasture) among and between enterprises in<br />

response to fluctuations in market and the climate. Under delayed monsoon onset conditions,<br />

anIFS comprising agri-horticulture, agri-pasture, silvi-pasture can provide sufficient fodder<br />

for 8 adult cattle along with milk and FYM.<br />

IFS for Higher System Productivity and Pr<strong>of</strong>itability: Analysis <strong>of</strong> IFS model at ICAR-IARI,<br />

New Delhi have revealed that simple integration <strong>of</strong> crop + dairy has the potential to enhance total<br />

system productivity as compared sole cropping. The increased productivity in the diversified IFS<br />

model may be ascribed to synergisms among the enterprises and the wastes or by-products from<br />

one enterprise used as inputs in other enterprise. In addition, simultaneous application <strong>of</strong> recycled<br />

pond silt, poultry manure, biogas slurry, nutrient rich pond water for irrigation and cow dung as<br />

FYM and vermicompost, nutrient enrichment through decomposition <strong>of</strong> stubbles and crop<br />

residues under different IFS enterprises provided congenial situation to increase the yield. When<br />

a fisheries unit was combined with a duckery unit, the fish production improved as well, owing to<br />

the fact that duck droppings served as a source <strong>of</strong> food for the fish. Crops applied with enriched<br />

pond silts having higher nutrients and integration <strong>of</strong> high value components like<br />

fish/poultry/duck/goat/cattle might contribute for better crop productivity. He also reported that<br />

the rice-wheat system had productivity <strong>of</strong> 7.25 tha -1 , cropping alone registered 9.21 tha -1 whereas<br />

higher productivity <strong>of</strong> 19.2 tha -1 was recorded in cropping + fish + poultry; 21.18 tha -1 in crop +<br />

fish + cattle and 21.20 tha -1 in crop + fish + duck + goat in Lower Gangetic Plains <strong>of</strong> Bihar.<br />
