S. No

Agro-climatic Zone

Characteristics

1

Scarce rainfall Zone

  1. Rainfall during South West monsoon range between 300-400mm while it is 150 – 240 mm during North East monsoon.
  2. The temperatures during cropping period are well with in permissible limits for the crops
  3. Red soils, red sandy loams, shallow and deep black soils are predominant. The important crops are groundnut, redgram, cotton, jowar and Bajra.
  4. Tanks and borewells are important source of irrigation, TBHLC and KC canals supply irrigation for parts of the zone.

Low and erratic rainfall with shallow soils of low Water Holding Capacity are important problems in Anantapur district of the zone.

Assessment of potentialities of the district by developing data base

 

Land utilization

           

            Based on agro-climatic conditions, Anantapur district falls in scarce rainfall zone of Andhra Pradesh. The district has been divided into three revenue divisions consisting of 63 revenue mandals. The soils of Anantapur district comprise 87.4% of red soils, 12.5% black cotton soils, and 0.1% problematic soils. Major crops area wise are 86% groundnut, 3.3% paddy and 10.7% other crops. The major crop is groundnut grown in 7.0 lakh ha in red soils under rainfed conditions.

 

The total geographical area of the district is 19.13 lakh ha. The net area sown is 9.70 lakh ha which forms 51% of total area. The total cropped area is 10.16 lakh ha. The area sown more than once is just 0.39 lakh ha. The cultivable area of the district is 10.15 lakh ha of which 8.69 lakh ha is under kharif and 1.45 lakh ha is under rabi season. Groundnut is the main crop with 7.5 lakh ha which is purely rainfed in kharif season.

 

Out of the gross irrigated area of 1.72 lakh ha, canals account for 19.3%, tanks 3.2%, wells, tube wells 39.6% and other sources 37.9%.  

 

 

The irrigation sources in the district are TBHLC, guntakal branch canal, BT project, upper pennar project, chennarayaswamy gudi project, tanks, bores, wells and filter point.

Rainfall         

            Anantapur district is the second lowest rainfall receiving district in the nation with a normal rainfall of 552 mm per annum out of which 57% is South West Monsoon (June to September) and 30% is from North East Monsoon (October to December).  Excess rainfall during vegetative period and harvesting stage of the crop leads to low yields of groundnut and low temperatures prevailed during flowering and heavy incidence of heliocoverpa and maruca pod borer leads to crop damage during this year.

NICRA Project

National Innovations on Climate Resilient Agriculture (NICRA) was first initiated at Chamaluru (v), Narpala (M) in the year 2011, later expanded to neighboring villages of Chakrayapeta and Peravali. During 2016-17 extended NICRA interventions to neighbor villages (Sivapuram, Bandameedapalli, Pothurajkalva of Singanamala Mandal). During 2022-23 newly adopted villages of Sodanapalli, East Narasapuram and Pothurajukaluva as a part of up scaling of technologies. The PRA was conducted with the invocation of staff members and addressed the gathering about the concept of NICRA and its objectives to the farmers. Constraint analysis and action plans were formulated with the active participation of stakeholders.

The major climatic and soil constraints of the villages were low and erratic rainfall, uneven distribution of rainfall, delayed monsoon, early cessation of monsoon, prolonged dry spells, shallow depth of soils, low water holding capacity, saline and alkali soils. The objectives of the NICRA project as follows:

Objectives:

  1. To enhance the resilience of Indian agriculture to climate change through the application of improved &risk management technologies.
    1. To enhance the capacity of scientists and other stakeholders in climate resilient agricultural research and its application.
  1. To demonstrate site specific technology packages on farmers’ fields for adapting to current climate risks.

KVK introduced different interventions in crop production modules viz., short duration crops of greengram WGG-42 (50-60 days), crop diversification with castor ICH-66, contingency crop planning with white jowar (NTJ-5), setaria, cowpea (TPTC-29), multiple cropping, introduction of field bean in orchards, replacement of short duration redgram (LRG-41) with medium duration redgram (LRG-52 and PRG-176) varieties. Different successful interventions in livestock component viz., area specific mineral mixture, urea molasses blocks, introduction of kadaknath birds.

During kharif 2022, Natural resource conservation techniques like demonstration of sub-soiling with chisel plough in groundnut and redgram. Harvested water in check dams and farm ponds were utilizing for the cultivation of groundnut, sweet orange, green gram, paddy, lily and castor crops.

As the water is a scare commodity, livestock suffered from lack of green grass and fodder. Hence, demonstration of area specific mineral mixture, urea molasses blocks, and salt licks were demonstrated to increase income of the farmer. Established different fodder varieties in NICRA adopted villages.

National Food Security Mission : This project was implemented in 1000 ha 684 farmers of Tummala, Mallenipalli, Chamaluru, Chekrayapeta villages for pigeonpea. In addition to pigeonpea seed, prophenophos, single super phosphate and pheromone traps were distributed. An average productivity of 140 kg/acre was obtained.

Please see details

National Initative On Climate Resilient Agriculture :This project is implemented in Chamulru and Chakrayapeta villages this project implements activities on Natural Resource manangement, Water and Labour saving technologies, Water conservation techniques, capacity building and institutional interventions were carried out at village level.

  Technology Demonstration on Pulses : under this project complete package of practices in redgram and bengalgram were demonstrated each in 30 acres to improve the pulses productivity

 

Rastriya Krishi Vikas Yojana : Under this project Integrated Farming Systems “Field Testing and Popularizing Integrated Farming (Farming System Approaches) for sustainable livelihoods” are demonstrated with 25 farmers on different farming systems.

 

Current Activities

     

 

 

1.    To conduct On Farm Trials in collaboration with Research Stations, for On Farm Testing, refining and documenting and developing location specific technologies

2.    To organize Front Line Demonstration in various crops to generate production data and feed back information as well as building confidence in technologies and among farming community and grass root extension functionaries.

3.    To organize long term and short term vocational training course in Agriculture and allied fields for farming community and grass root extension functionaries.

4.    To organize other extension activities like advisory service through farm and home interaction meetings, Field Visits, Exhibitions, Fields Days, Rythu Sadassus, Diagnostic Surveys, production of need based literature for educating the farming community in particular and society at large.
