14 cuts per year with excellent biomass productivity (around 2400-2600 quintals/acre/annum)
upto next 10 to 12 years without involving cost on major field operations like ploughing,
regular seed cost (sowing) and others. Only minor operations like weed removal or thinning of
old bunds and regular irrigations are required. Being the crop of South East Asia origin, which
can only survive better in the hot humid zones/humid zones of the country need to be modified
that this crop may also be grown in the areas with hot dry climatic conditions with exceeding
maximum temperatures beyond 42 0 C. Therefore, more emphasis should be given on the
production of alternate crops where ramie plants stand out to be a better option as dual-purpose
crop for enhancing productivity of livestock species.

Climatic stresses such as frequent droughts, dry spells, floods, frost, cyclones, heat and cold
waves significantly effect agriculture. Several districts of Maharashtra particularly in the
Marathwada region, receive relatively low rainfall are frequently impacted by variable and low
rainfall and often drought. Several technologies developed by the national agricultural research
system can potentially minimise the impact of variable rainfall and drought. As part of
