International Conference on Reimagining Rainfed Agro-ecosystems: Challenges & Opportunities during 22-24, December 2022 at ICAR-CRIDA, Hyderabad Centre (RAEEC) and subject matter specialist for strengthening the agricultural extension work in rainfed areas. Methodology The major crops of the Marathwada region of Maharashtra are soybean, redgram, cotton, gram. The horticultural crops like papaya, banana, tomato and chilli are also grown on limited scale. For harvesting good yield with low cost of production, various technologies viz., nutrient management, weed management, pest management water management, mechanization have been recommended by the Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Agricultural University (VNMAU), Parbhani, other SAUs and ICAR centres at regional and national level. In this regard, agricultural extension services are run by the VNMAU, Parbhani, other SAUs with the RAEEC and KVKs to transfer such technologies for adoption by farmers. The RAEEC under Directorate of Extension Education, VNMAU, Parbhani are established at Ambajogai, Latur, Aurangabad and Parbhani to disseminate the agricultural technologies among the farmers of Marathwada region comprising eight districts. RAEEC developed a system to approach 60000 farmers of each district in collaboration with State Agriculture Department. The need-based advisories are reaching the farmers through the system channel i.e., from scientists – SMS /extension agronomist – DSAO – Taluka Agriculture Officer –Mandal Agriculture Officer – Agriculture Supervisor – Agriculture Assistant – Farmer through conducting monthly district field visits, workshop, trainings and WhatsApp. This article considered integrated management strategies to manage biotic and abiotic stress on farmers’ fields, concluding with a brief outline of future directions which might lead to the integration of described methods in a system-based approach for more effective management of biotic and abiotic stress. Results State Agriculture Universities and ICAR research institutes have released various technologies for increasing production and productivity of rainfed areas. Technological intervention through extension activities is important for widescale adoption of these recommendations. Cropping system: Mixed cropping, intercropping and crop rotation are important practices that are widely emphasized to break the life cycle of insect pests and to avoid the inoculums buildup of soil-borne pathogens and these practices are proved to be most effective tool in real farm situations to manage biotic and abiotic stresses. Crop rotation is also associated with enhanced soil fertility, improvement in soil chemical and physical properties, good soil water management and soil erosion control. Sowing method: In soybean, use of Broad Bed and Furrow (BBF) technology for sowing is proved to be climate resilient, cost effective by reducing seed rate and insect pest population. 839 | Page Institutional and policy innovations for accelerated and enhanced impacts

International Conference on Reimagining Rainfed Agro-ecosystems: Challenges & Opportunities during 22-24, December 2022 at ICAR-CRIDA, Hyderabad Soil amendments: Organic amendments to the soil are traditionally used for improving soil conditions and crop productivity, but they can also aid in suppressing soilborne pathogens. On farmers field, its evident that crops sown on soil with good organic amendments did not show viral expressions even though plant is infected. Soil fertility and plant nutrients: Soil fertility and chemistry including soil pH, organic matter and available nutrient statuscan play a major role for healthy growth of plant. Soil nutrition, along with the use of fertilizers and amendments, have shown direct impact for developing tolerance against various biotic and abiotic stress. Conclusion Among various crop production constraints, management of biotic and abiotic stressis the key to realizing potential crop yields in rainfed areas. The phase-out of many chemicals and rising awareness towards resistance development, environmental health, and climate change necessitates the quest for suitable integrated management options. Many non-chemical options such as resistant cultivars/varieties, cropping system, sowing methods, soil amendments, soil fertility management and plant nutrients application methods proved more effective in management of insect pests and diseases if integrated with chemical methods.
