In India around 65-70 % <strong>of</strong> cultivated lands comes under dryland and they contributing about<br />

45 % <strong>of</strong> nations food grain production. Most <strong>of</strong> the crops under millets (>95%), oilseeds (90%)<br />

and pulses 90-95% are cultivated on these lands with low productivity which could be<br />

attributed to inadequate rainfall, poor soil fertility, occurrence <strong>of</strong> dry spells, drought during<br />

cropping season, high temperature, more PET than rainfall etc. Of these drought at critical<br />

period <strong>of</strong> cropping season drastically reduces the crop yield. Sorghum (Sorghum bicolour L.)<br />

is a drought resistance fodder crop.. It is considered promising crop to overcome the fodder<br />

shortages because <strong>of</strong> it’s short duration, drought tolerance, well adaptiveness to arid and semiarid<br />

regions. Moisture and nutrition affect succulence, dry matter, crude protein and other<br />

quality parameters <strong>of</strong> fodder. Foliar application <strong>of</strong> nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium could<br />

increase crop productivity many folds under moisture stress condition. Efficacy <strong>of</strong> foliar<br />

fertilization <strong>of</strong> nitrogen is seven times more than soil application under drought conditions due<br />

to less denitrification and leaching losses. The uptake <strong>of</strong> necessary elements becomes difficult<br />

for plants when fertilizers are applied to soil due to the formation <strong>of</strong> certain soil complexes. To<br />

overcome these issues macro and micro nutrients are applied at critical stages <strong>of</strong> the crops<br />

under dryland situation.<br />

Methodology<br />

A field experiment was conducted at black soil farm <strong>of</strong> AICRPDA Kovilpatti main centre,<br />

Agricultural Research Station, Kovilpatti, Tamil Nadu under dryland situation from 2017-‘20<br />

in rabi season to study the effect <strong>of</strong> foliar application <strong>of</strong> nutrients sprayed during moisture<br />

Institutional and policy innovations for accelerated and enhanced impacts<br />
