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

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

below 5%. Yield efficiency <strong>of</strong> a district in a given crop is computed as the ratio <strong>of</strong> untapped yield and<br />

potential yield. Yield efficiency <strong>of</strong> less than 0.5 indicates scope for doubling <strong>of</strong> yield in the district. For<br />

each crop, the clusters <strong>of</strong> districts for which mean area under irrigation (as a percent <strong>of</strong> sown area) was<br />

less than 25% were considered as rainfed. Let Z is the rainfed yield efficiency <strong>of</strong> jth district with<br />

respect to ith crop predominantly cultivated under rainfed conditions then Overall Rainfed Yield<br />

Efficiency <strong>of</strong> jth district is Z = ∑ W Z where W ij = Proportion <strong>of</strong> area sown to i th crop<br />

(considering the crops which are predominantly cultivated under rainfed conditions) in j th district such<br />

that ∑ W = 1 (for all j).<br />

Results<br />

The resultant map showing overall rainfed yield efficiency at district level has been given as Fig 1. The<br />

number <strong>of</strong> districts having rainfed yield efficiency less than 0.5 are more in Madhya Pradesh (10),<br />

Rajasthan (8), Jharkhand (8), Tamil Nadu (6) and Orissa (5) states. Aggregate rainfed yield in these<br />

districts can be doubled. The variation in factors <strong>of</strong> crop management such as consumption <strong>of</strong> fertilizer<br />

nutrients <strong>of</strong> Nitrogen (N), Phosphorous (P) and Potassium (K) and adoption <strong>of</strong> technology such as extent<br />

<strong>of</strong> use <strong>of</strong> High Yielding Varieties (HYV) in the crop at district level are found to explain the variation<br />

in yield within a cluster to a large extent. Strategies were identified to improve yield efficiency in 60<br />

districts found to have low rainfed yield efficiency based on crop-wise gaps in adoption <strong>of</strong> HYV and<br />

nutrient use. A decision support system (DSS) has been developed which brings out untapped yield<br />

potential for a selected crop in a district. The DSS identifies 3 model districts and displays information<br />

on extent <strong>of</strong> adoption <strong>of</strong> HYVs and nutrient use in them indicating strategies for bridging yield gap in<br />

selected crop <strong>of</strong> the district. The DSS has been hosted on ICAR-CRIDA website at http://www.icarcrida.res.in:8129/.<br />
