International Conference on Reimagining Rainfed Agro-ecosystems: Challenges & Opportunities during 22-24, December 2022 at ICAR-CRIDA, Hyderabad Development is mainly to undertake rainwater conservation, construction of farm ponds, water harvesting structures, small check dams, contour bunding, etc. Area covered under PMKSY 2021-22 Micro Irrigation Drip 3.58 Lakh ha Sprinkler 6.57 Lakh ha Total 10.15 Lakh ha Other Interventions Potential created for protective irrigation 0.06 Lakh ha (Source: MoA&FW, GoI) Conclusion Rainfed agriculture is a complex, diverse, and risk-prone activity. However, properly managing the rainfed areas would help to contribute a larger share in food grain production. Though rainfed areas have huge potential to contribute a larger share in food production and faster agricultural growth, it is characterized by low levels of productivity and input usage coupled with weather aberrations due to climate change; resulting in wide variations and instability in crop yields. In view of the growing demand for food grains in the country, the developmental needs of the rainfed regions would be of utmost importance to ensure the growth of the agriculture sector in the country.

International Conference on Reimagining Rainfed Agro-ecosystems: Challenges & Opportunities during 22-24, December 2022 at ICAR-CRIDA, Hyderabad T6-07R-1214 Perceived Attributes Leading to the Adoption of Agromet Advisories by Dryland Farmers in India Jagriti Rohit, G Nirmala, Anshida Beevi, K Nagasree, S. K Bal, K Ravi Shankar, B.M.K Raju and V. K Singh ICAR-CRIDA, Hyderabad The importance of Agromet advisories services (AAS) as a tool to address the risk associated in agriculture has increased to many folds in recent years. AAS is a climate resilient technology which provides the valuable information about all agricultural operations from land preparation sowing to harvest based on weather forecasting. The emerging ability to provide timely, skillful weather forecasts offers the potential to reduce human vulnerability to weather vagaries (Hansen, 2002). Relevant weather forecast not only helps for efficient management of farm resources and also helps for increasing crop yields and farm income. Hence, improved microlevel weather based Agromet Advisory Service (AAS) greatly helps farming community to take advantage of favourable weather and mitigate the impacts of external weather situations. Characteristic of a technology or attribute of an innovation is a precondition for adoption. In Rogers’ seminal synthesis on the adoption of innovations, innovation attributes are identified as having a profound impact on farmers’ adaptive decisions (Rogers 2003). Agricultural studies have also demonstrated the importance of the perceived attributes of innovation in relation to its adoption (Tey et al 2014) Methodology For Under National Innovation in climate resilient agriculture (NICRA), Krishi Vigyan Kendras are providing AAS to farmers. Hence, Kurnool district, Andhra Pradesh was selected purposively as KVK Banaganapalli was giving AAS to farmers in nearby villages since inception of NICRA. Three villages namely Yagantipalle, Mirapur and Chirolokuttur receiving AAS were selected purposively for the study. A pilot study was undertaken which led to the modification of sampling plan. The farmers were categorized into two groups viz farmers in direct contact with KVK and receiving the message and farmers who received the message from the directly contacted farmers via in whatsapp group. The farmers from both the groups were selected following the proportionate random sampling. The total numbers of respondents for the study was 180. Data was collected using structured questionnaire. In Rogers’ theory of diffusion of innovation, there are five common attributes of innovations: relative advantage, complexity, compatibility, observability, and trialability. The term “relative advantage” refers to the extent to which new ideas, behaviours, and objects are viewed as more innovative and superior to the innovations they are replacing.
