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

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

Conclusion<br />

The results from this preliminary research showed that zeolite application along with<br />

fertilizers improved crop production and soil chemical properties. There was significant<br />

difference in N and K uptake with higher dose <strong>of</strong> zeolite application (100 & 200 kg ha -1 ) as<br />

compared to control at both the moisture levels. However, further investigations need to be<br />

carried to study the effect <strong>of</strong> zeolite application in different soil types at field conditions.<br />

Land degradation, low soil fertility, erratic rainfall are the prime constraints for low<br />

agricultural production in the semi-arid region. In Alfisols regions <strong>of</strong> southern India, most <strong>of</strong><br />

the cultivated areas produce a single crop in rainy (Kharif) season and 25-30% rainfall goes<br />

unutilized in post rainy (Rabi) season which remains fallow. In these areas, drought hardy<br />

crop like horsegram can be cultivated in sequence <strong>of</strong> Kharif crop by practicing effective soil<br />

moisture conservation measures or conservation agriculture (CA). CA can play a major role<br />

in stabilizing production in rainfed regions by mitigating water and nutrient stress through<br />
