International Conference on Reimagining Rainfed Agro-ecosystems: Challenges & Opportunities during 22-24, December 2022 at ICAR-CRIDA, Hyderabad T6-01O-1076 Agrometeorological Interventions for Enhancing Farmers’ Income in the Drylands of South Interior Karnataka M. N. Thimmegowda*, M. H. Manjunatha, Lingaraj Huggi, L. Nagesha and D. V. Soumya AICRP on Agrometeorology, UAS, GKVK, Bengaluru560065, Karnataka, India * mnthimmegowda@gmail.com In developing countries like India, ensuring food security to growing population is the main challenge in the face of changing climate. Inter and intra-annual variability in climate impacts agricultural production. Among several methods to overcome such ill impacts of climate on agriculture, forecasting and educating the farmers about possible upcoming variability in the regional climate is one. In this direction, agromet advisory services were issued to farmers in four districts, viz., Bangalore urban & rural, Kolar and Chikkaballapur, in the dryland regions of south interior Karnataka using Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and their effect on crop productivity was studied. Methodology AICRP on Agrometeorology, University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore is playing a major role in communicating the weather information to farmers through Gramin Krishi Mausam Sewa (GKMS), funded by India Meteorological Department (IMD) and National Innovations in Climate Resilient Agriculture (NICRA) of Indian Council of Agricultural Research. The forecasts issued by IMD are used to inform farmers about the forthcoming weather vagaries and necessary actions to be taken to minimize or avoid crop losses. The utility of weather forecast depends upon their reliability and applicability at micro level (Singh et al. 2004). We assessed the reliability of forecasts issued by IMD and evaluate the cost economics of implementation of agromet advisory. Study area and agromet information shared: Four dry farming districts in the south interior Karnataka were selected for the study, viz., Bangalore urban & rural, Kolar and Chikkaballapur to share the weather information twice a week based on IMD’s forecast. The districts differed with respect to the annual and seasonal rainfall distribution, Bangalore Urban received an annual rainfall of 854.6 mm, of which 460.1 mm received in South-west monsoon (SWM) and 233.7 mm in North-East Monsoon (NEM). Bangalore rural received a normal annual rainfall of 809.2 mm out of which 440.7 mm in SWM and 228.9 mm in NEM. Chikkaballapur receives a normal annual rainfall of 731.3 mm divided into 399.8 mm in SWM and 222.2 mm in NEM. Kolar, being an eastern most dry district, receives 746.4 mm annual rainfall of which 386.8 mm received in SWM and 236.3 mm in NEM (Sanjeevaiahet al. 2021).
