Drought resistant seed variety HD 2967 rather than UP 267 and PB343 (JEEViKA) | Crop is more resilient to drought | Not prepared, approach TBD |
| Cost: Estimate that promoted seed variety is ~4k more per acre | ||||||||||
Optimize application of Nitrogen fertilizer (CIMMYT / CP) | Cost savings on fertilizer without compromising yield (Reduction in GHG emissions; 30kg reduction per hectare = __tons of CO2e) | DG to setup workflow where VRPs collect sowing date, irrigation method and expected yield; DG shares kg of N to apply per hectare with VRPs based on CIMMYT model |
| Perceived risk of lower yield | ||||||||||
Zero tillage: Leave rice residue in the field during wheat sowing (CIMMYT / CP and JEEViKA | Increased yield and improved soil health (Reduction in GHG emissions, amount to be quantified) | 12 min video prepared by CSISA; share through VBE | Cost and availability of ZT machine / Happy Seeder | Cost and availability of equipment Perceptions about impact on yield | ||||||||||
Water management (JEEViKA keen to promote drip irrigation) | Increase resilience (Reduced water usage) | Video link | Planned and actual irrigation methods and timing of irrigation events | Cost and availability of drip irrigation | ||||||||||
Early Sowing | Upto 30% increase in yield | Not prepared, approach TBD |
| Perceived risk of lower yield | ||||||||||
