“…Hanif et al (2024) [6] also found that pulses yields are low in Cauvery delta region, with the primary reason being high incidence of pest and diseases, poor marketing guidance, lack of technical knowledge and low market price. Similar findings of constraints for low productivity and adaption of recommended crop technology were also reported by Jayswal et al (2019) [8] , Biradar et al (2022) [2] , Shashikant et al (2011) [16] and Rao et al (2020) [14] .…”

India is the world's top producer and consumer of pulses. A purposive and random sampling technique was used for the study and conducted in KVK operated mandals of Anantapur district. Six mandals of KVK operational area were selected purposively where Cluster Front-Line Demonstrations were conducted and from each mandal 20 farmers were selected randomly, thus making a total of 120 respondents for this study. An ex-post facto research design was used and the data were collected by interview method and enquired about the constraints faced by them for low redgram productivity and queried suggestions to overcome the constraints faced by them. From the study, it was revealed that major constraints of the farmers faced were uncertainty in rainfall during crop growth period (95%) followed by lack of irrigation facility (85%) and low production due to pest and disease infestation (85%), shortage of labour during critical stages (82.5%) and High price of herbicide/fungicide/Pesticide (80%) as reported by the farmers. Among the suggestions offered by farmers it was the provision of inputs at subsidized rates (92.5%) ranked first followed by development of Short duration varieties resistant to pest and diseases. (87.5%) ranked second and assured market and remunerative prices for redgram particularly during drought (80%) ranked third.

“…The data presented in Table 4 indicated that out of all suggestions the proper market facility to sell crop on good price (88.33 per cent) ranked first followed by availability of pure healthy seeds (81.66 per cent) got second rank, promotional activities to popularize the medicinal and nutritional values of Chani (74.16 per cent) ranked third, proper collection validation and documentation of Chani production technology (60.00 per cent) ranked fourth, development of scientific method to increase productivity (52.50 per cent) given rank fifth, increase consumer awareness about identification true Chani (45.00 per cent) got sixth rank, proper government schemes to motivate farmers for cultivation of Chani (42.50 per cent) ranked seventh, and government should provide financial support to promote Chani cultivation (40.00 per cent) ranked eighth. This finding is in conformity with those of Prusty and Mohapatra (2021), Poonguzali et al (2020) and Parmar et al (2019).…”

Chani or Chanoli (Cicer arietinum) is a unique small seeded underutilized gram traditionally grown in the Balaghat and some parts of Seoni district of Madhya Pradesh. It is mainly grown for its unique taste and the medicinal properties. The present study was conducted to explore the importance of Chani/ Chanoli along with the constraints faced by farmers and their experiences. Ex-post facto research design and purposive random sampling method were used in the present study. Personal interview method was used for data collection. Results show more than half of the chani growing farmers were more than 50 years old, 61.67 % of the farmers had 5-10 members in their family, 55.83 % of the farmers are engaged in farming and animal husbandry as their occupation, having small land holding. About 40.83 % and 47.50 % of the farmers had primary level of education and their annual income from farming ranged between Rs. 2,00,000-4,00,000. Farmers also reported that chani is not only part of important traditional food but it also has lots of medicinal benefits. It helps to cure arthritis, piles, constipation etc. The low yield of crop, low market price and unavailability of pure healthy seeds were top ranked constraints; while proper market facility, availability of pure healthy seeds and promotional activities to popularize the medicinal and nutritional values of chani/chanoli were found to be top ranked suggestions.

“…The delicate balance of agricultural ecosystems, the looming specter of climatic variability and unpredictability casts an ominous shadow, poised to exacerbate the already precarious problem of food security (Pathak et al, 2019) [1] . As nature's whims dictate, the response of cropping systems to these capricious climatic parameters emerges as a litmus test, delineating the thin line between agricultural prosperity and peril.…”

Climatic variability and unpredictability are poised to worsen food security issues by placing pressure on agriculture. The response of cropping systems to fluctuating climatic conditions determines their success. Conventional farming methods have often fallen short in addressing this challenge. A study was conducted to evaluate the climate resilience of 120 farmers selected randomly. Data was gathered through personal interviews. Findings indicate that chickpea growers exhibited the highest climate resilience index at 54.00%, followed by groundnut growers at 52.06%. Overall, groundnut growers demonstrated a medium to high level of climate resilience, while chickpea farmers showed a medium to low level.
