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

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

(National Innovations in Climate Resilient Agriculture) action research project through<br />

preparedness and real time contingency measures.<br />

Methodology<br />

In-situ moisture conservation through conservation furrow in sole soybean and soybean<br />

+ pigeonpea (4:2): Before introduction <strong>of</strong> this project, the farmers were cultivating sole<br />

soybean crop on flat bed without opening <strong>of</strong> conservation furrow. However yield reductions<br />

were observed due to moisture stress during dryspells . Under improved practice, opening <strong>of</strong><br />

conservation furrow after every 4 rows in sole soybean and soybean + pigeon pea (4:2)<br />

intercropping after 30 to 35 days <strong>of</strong> sowing was adopted as a strategy for moisture<br />

conservation on farmers field during 2011-2015.<br />

Soybean + pigeonpea (4:2) intercropping system: Traditionally, farmers were cultivating<br />

soybean crop as sole crop which is very sensitive to moisture stress as well as excess<br />

moisture. The drastic yield reductions were observed due to dryspells. Under such<br />

circumstances soybean + pigeonpea (4:2) intercropping system was introduced and adopted<br />

on farmers field during 2011- 2015.<br />

In-situ moisture conservation through broad bed & furrow (BBF) in soybean:<br />

Performance <strong>of</strong> BBF technique for sowing <strong>of</strong> soybean on farmers field was evaluated during<br />

2014-15 to 2016-17.<br />

Results<br />

Adoption <strong>of</strong> conservation furrow technique: The effect <strong>of</strong> in-situ moisture conservation<br />

practice like conservation furrow in sole soybean on crop productivity (yield), net monetary<br />

returns, BC ratio and RWUE was analyzed.<br />
