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

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

annual and seasonal rainfall has caused the variations in the crop productivity in the regions,<br />

making it necessary to take weather-based crop management practices (Shivaramu et al. 2022).<br />

Preparation process <strong>of</strong> agro-advisories: Based on the forecasts received on rainfall,<br />

temperature, wind speed, humidity and cloud cover from IMD and state met centres, the<br />

probable impacts on the crops or cropping systems in the districts was discussed with the<br />

scientists belonging to respective discipline.<br />

The major crops and cropping systems in the region are field crops like finger millet, maize,<br />

vegetable crops like cabbage, leafy vegetables, etc. and fruit crops like grapes and flower crops like<br />

rose, marigold, chrysanthemum, etc. Most <strong>of</strong> these crops are <strong>of</strong> short duration and yields are<br />

sensitive to even minor climatic aberration. Based on the consultations with relevant experts,<br />

advisories for reducing the crop losses are sent directly to farmers’ mobile through WhatsApp and<br />

are also displayed at community centres so that the information reaches individual farmer.<br />

Assessment <strong>of</strong> impact: A comparison <strong>of</strong> farmers who received the advisories (AAS farmer) with<br />

those who did not (non-AAS farmer) was made with respect to various parameters. The cost <strong>of</strong><br />

cultivation, gross income, net income and benefit cost ratio <strong>of</strong> these farmers was calculated per<br />

annum, and averaged for multi-year impact assessment.<br />
