Despite realizing the full irrigation potential in the country, nearly 40% of the net sown area will remain rainfed. This sector currently produces 40% of the food grains and supports wo-thirds of the livestock population. Rainfed agriculture production systems in the country are diverse and heterogeneous. The average productivity levels have moved from 0.6 tonnes in eighties to 1.1 tonnes at present. There are large yield gaps in several crops and regions between the research stations and farmer's fields. This is both an area of concern as well as an opportunity. With the productivity of irrigated crops reaching a plateau due to declining factor productivity, rainfed agriculture still offers scope for enhancing productivity by bridging the yield gaps with the currently available technologies and also raise yield potential in high rainfall zones through development of improved technologies.
From the socio-economic perspective, farmers in rainfed regions face multiple risks of weather, credit and markets and therefore the need for improving productivity and incomes is more pertinent in rainfed agriculture than irrigated farming. This is key to achieve equity and inclusive growth which are the main goals of XII Five Year Plan. While the past research has certainly resulted in improved production, particularly, in coarse cereals and oilseeds, besides contributing to natural resources conservation, there are still many challenges. The changing socio-economic dynamics and food habits, challenges like land degradation, and climate change require greater attention and increased investments in dryland agriculture. It is in this context, CRIDA needs to envision the future scenario, identify the challenges and draw up suitable R&D strategies. |

CRIDA and its research Network |
Historical
The earliest attempts to improve rainfed agriculture began in the erstwhile Bombay State. During 1933-35, the then Imperial (now Indian) Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) initiated a broad-based dry farming research project at Solapur, Bijapur, Hagari, Raichur and Rohtak to formulate appropriate strategies. After independence, renewed efforts were made to improve stability and productivity of rainfed agriculture since 1950s through developing appropriate soil and water conservation practices. ICAR gave a new impetus by launching the All India Coordinated Research Project for Dryland Agriculture (AICRPDA) in 1970, based at Hyderabad with 23 cooperating centres spread across the country beginning the era of location specific adaptive research.
Strategic Research
Realizing that the enormity and complexity of this sector requires basic and
strategic research inputs, the Central Research Institute for Dryland
Agriculture (CRIDA) was established at Hyderabad, on April 12, 1985 by upgrading
the Project Directorate of the AICRPDA net-work. CRIDA was mandated to provide
the leadership in basic and strategic research in dryland agriculture leaving
the location specific problems and their solutions to AICRPDA centres. Around
this time, the importance of weather and the science of Agrometeorology in
agricultural production were realized after the recommendations of the National
Commission on Agriculture. Therefore, to strengthen the research in
Agrometeorology, the All India Coordinated Research Project on Agrometeorology
(AICRPAM) was launched in 1983, also at CRIDA, Hyderabad, with 10 cooperating
centres under different SAUs. The strength of AICRPDA and AICRPAM is presently
25 centres each.
While CRIDA undertakes lead research in dryland agriculture, solutions to
location specific problems are generated through AICRPDA network. Further
support to dryland agriculture research comes from understanding and defining
the crop growth related weather parameters - a core activity of AICRPAM. CRIDA
also undertakes large number of outreach programmes involving non-governmental
organizations through farmers' participatory action research with a livelihoods
perspective.
Evolution of the Research Program
In the early Seventies, when the dryland agriculture research program was started, it was mostly adaptive research carried out in different agro-ecological regions to come out with simple and do-able technologies which can improve the yields on farmers' fields with little or no inputs. During this period, simple agronomic practices, most suitable crops, varieties and cropping systems, planting geometry, fertilizer management and weed control methods were developed which became the first set of improved practices for dryland agriculture in the country which were adopted by all the Agricultural Universities and became part of the package of practices of the State Governments. During the Eighties, farm mechanization, agroforestry and operational research for technology transfer received more emphasis. With the establishment of CRIDA, basic and strategic research on dryland agriculture was initiated with detailed studies on stress physiology, moisture and nutrient interactions, climatic water balance, crop weather relationships and Agrometeorology. During the Nineties, CRIDA built the entire research program on outcome of the model watershed program and strengthened its outreach by working with several non-government organizations in a farmer participatory action research mode. CRIDA played a major role in coordinating the Agro-Ecosystem based research under National Agricultural Technology Project wherein extensive on-farm participatory research was taken up in more than 200 rainfed districts on five production systems, viz., rainfed rice, nutritious cereals, oilseeds, pulses and cotton. More than 100 location specific recommendations emerged out of this project which became part of the package of practices of the State Agricultural Universities. Continuing the focus on participatory action research, the Institute implemented the National Agricultural Innovation Project, where the research focus shifted from production enhancement to income and livelihood security. CRIDA came up with several replicable models in this regard in the state of Andhra Pradesh.
