International Conference on Reimagining Rainfed Agro-ecosystems: Challenges & Opportunities during 22-24, December 2022 at ICAR-CRIDA, Hyderabad The mean cost of cultivation is 50618 Rs/ha and 52262 Rs/ha for demo and check respectively. The mean gross returns are Rs.117069 and Rs. 98338 and net returns are Rs.66434 and Rs. 47076 in the demo and check respectively. Similar findings were also reported by Oad et al.,2007 and reported that under rainfed conditions cotton + redgram intercropping system has shown positive combinations for better growth and yield contributing parameters and costbenefit ratio over the sole cotton crop. The mean benefit-cost ratio was 2.30: 1 and 1.71: 1 for the demo and check respectively. Krishnareddy et al., 2001 found that intercropping of cotton + redgram was more beneficial than sole cropping of cotton in sense of monetary recoveries. The highest mean per day net returns were recorded as Rs 369/ha in the demo with the adoption of cotton+ redgram intercropping system over check Rs.262 /ha. Per day net returns value will depend on the net return and duration of the crops sown as intercrops and sole crops.

International Conference on Reimagining Rainfed Agro-ecosystems: Challenges & Opportunities during 22-24, December 2022 at ICAR-CRIDA, Hyderabad high levels of instability and uncertainty. Being in the rain-shadow region of Andhra Pradesh, the district is drought-prone. Groundnut is the main crop with 7.5 lakh ha which is purely rainfed. During the recent years, the yields of groundnut crop has been reduced drastically or sometimes the crop fails due to severe drought. Hence, there is a need to introduce profitable and sustainable crops. Crop diversification can be practiced in dryland areas to reduce the risk factor of crop failures due to recurring droughts (Khanam et al. 2018). Castor can be grown as an alternative to groundnut. Being hardy crop, it can be grown under rainfed conditions and thrives well on a variety of soils and climatic conditions (Reddy and Suresh, 2008). It was therefore, felt worthwhile to adopt the castor as an alternate crop was carried out in the farmers’ fields under National Innovations on Climate Resilient Agriculture (NICRA) project. Crop diversification in a participatory mode was demonstrated in the NICRA TDC adopted villages Peravali, Chamaluru and Chakrayapeta villages. Methodology NICRA adopted villages Chamaluru, Peravali and Chakrayapeta falls under Narpala and Singanamala mandals of Ananthapuramu district respectively. The normal rainfall of the area 566.2 mm. The total cultivated area of Chamaluru, Peravali and Chakrayapeta is 2162 ha, 714 ha and 104 ha, respectively. The major soil types are red soils (90%) and light black soils (10%). The major rainfed crops cultivated during Kharif are groundnut, redgram and jowar. The actual crop seasonal rainfall was 200 mm in 2018, 398 mm in 2019, 748 mm in 2020 and 647 mm in 2021. The treatment comprised of short duration castor hybrids (DCH-519 & ICH-66) and farmers practice is groundnut (K-6). The demonstration was conducted in 20.5 ha involving 34 farmers from the adopted villages. Crop yield (kg/ha) and economics were recorded. All the costs were determined considering the prevailing charges of agricultural operations and the market price of the involved inputs. During studies, gross returns were obtained by translating the harvest into monetary terms at the prevalent market rate. Results A comparison of yield performance between castor and farmer’s practice (groundnut) is depicted in Table 1. It was observed that, during 2021-22, castor resulted higher pod yield (1150 kg/ha) as compared to groundnut plot (670 kg/ha) with 71.6 per cent yield increase over the groundnut. Similar results were obtained in 2018 to 2021 with castor. The castor plots recorded higher mean pod yield (817 kg/ha) as compared to groundnut (485 kg/ha) with 66 per cent average increase in yield over the farmer’s practice. The economics of castor production under crop diversification was presented in Table 2. During the four-year period higher average gross return was recorded with demonstration plots (29266 Rs/ha) as compared to groundnut (27711 Rs/ha). During 2021-22, improved technology Institutional and policy innovations for accelerated and enhanced impacts 910 | Page
