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

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

Results<br />

Akkadi Cropping System Layout Cover Duration <strong>of</strong> crop and<br />

soil cover<br />

The results <strong>of</strong> this exploratory study are analyses using following principle: multi-crops, one<br />

time sowing with multiple harvests at multiple times, multi-tier, covers soils for longer<br />

duration, specific phenotypes <strong>of</strong> crops and rainfall use efficiency<br />

Crop Diversity and its phenotypes:<br />

Akkadi cropping system is a glide <strong>of</strong> crops consisting <strong>of</strong> millets, pulses, oil seeds, and<br />

vegetables. Akkadi cropping system has different crop combination models, practiced based<br />

on the requirement <strong>of</strong> rainfed farmers. Crop combination with different maturity period, and a<br />

specific phenology helps the crops to complement each other growth.<br />

Multi-tier cropping system with multiple harvestings<br />

The Akkadi cropping system has crop combinations <strong>of</strong> varying heights (1 to 12ft) and<br />

maturity period (three to nine months), at any given point <strong>of</strong> time one can see some crops<br />

ready to harvest whereas other at their vegetative stage protecting the soil cover and<br />

improving its health because <strong>of</strong> crop biomass refer Crop combination <strong>of</strong> varying heights, root<br />

depths, maturing stages, harness sunlight, soil moisture, soil nutrient, and land space most<br />

effectively.<br />

Rainfall use efficiency: The hot arid climate <strong>of</strong> Lingusur region is subjected to prolonged<br />

dry spells and the erratic nature <strong>of</strong> rainfall.22% <strong>of</strong> the total annual average rainfall (599 mm)<br />

Ecosystem based approaches for climate change adaptation, ecosystem services, integrated farming system<br />

models, Land degradation neutrality<br />
