“…In areas with limited water resource availability, conservation of soil, and water to increase water availability is the only option to improve biomass production (Singh et al, 2013). Water harvesting technologies have a positive role in enhancing soil organic components, nutrients mobility, vegetation population, evenness, and growth (Singh et al, 2017).…”

Turkana County is prone to perturbations and famine owing to the prevailing climatic conditions. Due to degradation through natural and anthropogenic activities such as charcoal burning; over time, existing woodlands have been degraded, necessitating rehabilitation. Several drylands adapted plant species studied over the years for the response to the needs of the communities were identified and isolated through a survey. The species identified to be most useful to the communities included Cenchrus ciliaris

“…Los resultados observados en el polígono uno son similares a los reportados en otros estudios donde las áreas testigo presentan condiciones menos favorables para el desarrollo de la vegetación, por el mayor contenido de humedad que incide en la producción de biomasa (Singh et al, 2013;Zhang et al, 2014). Por el contrario, en los polígonos dos y tres donde se Cuadro 4.…”

“…Weather and climate information plays very crucial role before and during cropping season as it influences crop growth and development from its sowing to harvesting. The agricultural production could be severely affected due increase in temperature [1], changes in rainfall pattern [2] and variation in frequency and intensity of occurrence of extreme weather events like cyclone, flood and drought [3,4]. Variability of climate also possess serious risk to small holder farmers particularly in dry land region [5].…”

Weather and climate affect the production of an agricultural system as it influences growth and development of crops before and during the cropping season. The Agro-meteorological Advisory Service (AAS) rendered by India Meteorological Department implemented through establishment of District Agromet Unit (DAMU) in different Krishi Vigyan Kendras across the country mainly aims to enhance the farmers’ income by proper utilization of inputs and adopting suitable management practices according to the weather condition. The present study was undertaken to know the usefulness of AAS and assessing the economic benefit through its adoption in day to day farming operation by the farmers. The study was conducted at Jambad village of Purulia district under Red and Lateritic Zone of West Bengal for Kharif rice, groundnut and mustard crop which are predominantly grown in the region during 2019 Kharif and 2019-20 Rabi season. A group of farmers following AAS regularly provided through DAMU were selected randomly from the target village and farmers not following the same were also identified for the study. The economic impact and usefulness of block level AAS has been assessed through analysing the data collected from the selected farmers using suitable statistical technique. The result showed from the study that most of the cases forecasted data is well matched with actual data and hence those farmers who have adopted AAS timely in their farming operation realized more net income as compared to non AAS farmers having the same crop grown in the target village. Thus it can be concluded from the study that AAS is an effective tool for minimizing the crop losses caused due to aberrant weather and played a significant role in enhancing the production and farmers’ income.
