International Conference on Reimagining Rainfed Agro-ecosystems: Challenges & Opportunities during 22-24, December 2022 at ICAR-CRIDA, Hyderabad marginal soils produce a poor crop of sorghum, coupled with low market prices resulting in poor profits, thus, favored least by the farmers (Zalkuwi et al. 2015). Sorghum ratooning is one of the drought management practices tried earlier in rainfed areas, which could also be introduced and evaluated matching with the rainfall forecast. Not only does there seem to be a shift in rainfall distribution, but there may also be chances of receiving extra rain events beyond South West monsoon (SWM) season through the probability estimation. Horsegram (Macrotyloma uniflorum (Lam.) Verdc) is a contingent pulse crop grown mostly during late kharif/ early rabi for grain and fodder purposes as well. Methodology With the extra rain events beyond South West monsoon, chance cropping of a pulse horse gram (HG) can be considered for sowing in the harvested strips/rows of strip row Sorghum and pigeonpea intercropping as a sequence crop, and the harvested sorghum crop was ratooned. This practice was carried out mainly during October- November months when we receive rain. However ratooning sorghum does not need seeding while horse gram did so. The recommended dose of nitrogen was applied to the sorghum ratoon and recommended amount of nitrogen and phosphorus was to the horse gram crop. The first set of sorghum ratooned and horse gram were sole crops while the second set was carried out in a 4:4 strip row intercropping system of sorghum and pigeonpea. Rainfall received was 299 mm and 63 mm respectively during both types of years for post-monsoon. Results Ratoon sorghum performed better during well-distributed rainfall while deficit rainfall affected its performance. Compared to the performance of sequence horse gram sown after the harvest of sorghum crop, horse gram needs sowing rains, seed, seedbed preparation, and sowing costs. This needs to be followed by the receipt of good post-rainy season rain events for a successful horse gram crop.

International Conference on Reimagining Rainfed Agro-ecosystems: Challenges & Opportunities during 22-24, December 2022 at ICAR-CRIDA, Hyderabad Performance of ratoon sorghum as compared to the sequence horse gram for capitalizing in on post monsoon rains Conclusion Ratoon sorghum could be one alternate option if we are unable to sow sequence horse gram due to the non-receipt of post-monsoon rains timely. Further ratoon sorghum requires only the application of nitrogenous fertilizers either as a foliar spray or as a placement in soil. Cutting heights and low management need to be standardized. Further in place of ratoonability, if tillering is promoted in sorghum might be a great help for fodder production as the fodder demand is rising.
