The District Agro Met Unit (DAMU) at KVK, Banavasi provides weather-based agro advisories to the farmers of this region. During 2018-2020, forty Front Line Demonstrations (FLDs) were organised in Krishi Vignan Kendra's adopted villages, and the feedback survey of the same was conducted to study the impact of weather-based agro advisory services on yield and economics of cotton as well as farmer's perception towards its usage. The results revealed that 13.63% average yield increase was recorded in demonstrated fields compared to the farmers' own practice. The average cost of cultivation reduced to Rs 7,383/-ha -1 in demonstration plots when compared to farmers' practice. The average benefit cost ratio in demonstration and farmers practice was of 3.22 and 2.38 respectively. The farmers saved their cultivation cost an average of 20.5% in plant protection, 26.8% in seed cost, 25.7% in irrigation, 11.3% in manure and fertilizers, and 17.4 % in harvesting. The majority of the farmers followed advisories sent through WhatsApp (75%) during kharif season, and 86.7 % of farmers used the advisory for sowing operations followed by spraying of plant protection chemicals (63.3 %). Ninety eight percent of farmers expressed overall satisfaction with the timely weather-based agro advisories by the KVK Banavasi.

“…The 11.67 per cent of the beneficiaries perceived WBAAS as highly useful, 20 per cent as useful, 35 per cent were undecided, 30 per cent perceived as not useful and 3.33 per cent perceived as not useful at all. The findings are in partial confirmation with Kumar et al, (2022) who reported that almost, 70 per cent of registered farmers have followed information for agriculture practices through Meghdoot application of agro-meteorology advisory services .…”

The agriculture practices in Rajasthan are difficult due to high temperature and low rainfall. The Technology Demonstration Component of National Innovation on Climate resilient Agriculture Project was implemented through KVK, CAZRI, Jodhpur to address climate change issues and improving livelihood of farmers of the region. The study was conducted during 2021-22 and 120 respondents were selected randomly from two villages of Jodhpur district of Rajasthan, to access utility of the services, adoption status and outcome of technological interventions of NICRA. The utility of supply of seeds and critical inputs was perceived as most useful followed by animal health care, availability of farm machinery respectively. The adoption of short duration and drought tolerant varieties of kharif crops lead to 34.20 per cent average yield increase. The adoption of improved breeds and mmineral mixture supplements & multi-nutrient feed block accorded second and third respectively on the basis of extent of adoption. The cropping intensity was increased by 18.52 per cent and employment (man days) increased by 16.80 per cent after NICRA interventions. Per family annual income increased by 65.17 per cent and average savings increased by 80 per cent after the NICRA project.
