International Conference on Reimagining Rainfed Agro-ecosystems: Challenges & Opportunities during 22-24, December 2022 at ICAR-CRIDA, Hyderabad Results At 35 th year of experimentation the treatment T 7 (25 kg N ha -1 FYM+ 25 kg N ha -1 Urea) gave significantly higher grain (19.25 q ha -1 ) and stover (40.42 q ha -1 ) yield, net monetary returns (Rs. 39525 ha -1 ) with B: C ratio (2.25), RWUE (32.08 kg ha -1 mm -1 ). The nutrients uptake by Rabi sorghum as well as rain water use efficiency and residual soil fertility (major and micro nutrients) were also increased as shown in the table. The N fixers and P solubilizers count was more under Leucaena application either alone or with crop residue or FYM. Nishimura (1994) reported that green gram as a mulch-cum-manure to rabi sorghum increased the gross profit by 132 per cent. Conjoint use of FYM and chemical fertilizers on soybean-safflower sequence cropping showed that the half of recommended fertilizers (10 N + 40 P 2O 5 ha -1 + 6 tonnes FYM) gave highest yield of soybean and safflower (Sharma, 1992). Reddy et al. (1991) also reported similar trend of results i.e., 75 per cent substitution of chemical N with use of Leucaena leucocphala gave higher bio mass and yield of sorghum. Conclusion From the above study it can be concluded that, the nitrogen requirement of rRabi sorghum can be fulfilled by conjoint use of organic (50 %) and inorganic fertilizers (50 %) or equally effective treatment i.e., 50 % N ha -1 through CR + 50% N ha -1 through Leucanea lopping which maintan the better soil health, RWUE and microbial count. This can be way forward to make organic farming in rainfed area that conserve natural resources and make farming more resilient and less dependent on chemical inputs.

pr<strong>of</strong>it by 132 per cent. Conjoint use <strong>of</strong> FYM and chemical fertilizers on soybean-safflower<br />

sequence cropping showed that the half <strong>of</strong> recommended fertilizers (10 N + 40 P 2O 5 ha -1 + 6<br />

tonnes FYM) gave highest yield <strong>of</strong> soybean and safflower (Sharma, 1992). Reddy et al.<br />
