"Zinc, boron and sulphur deficiencies are holding back the\r\npotential of rainfed crops in semi-arid India: Experiences\r\nfrom participatory watershed management\r\n"^^ . "Little attention has been paid to the diagnosis of deficiencies of micronutrients such as zinc (Zn)\r\nand boron (B) and secondary nutrient such as sulphur (S) in rainfed systems. We evaluated Zn, B and\r\nS status of 1617 farmers’ fields in 14 districts of the semi-arid tropical India. Results showed that\r\nmost of the soil samples were low to medium in organic carbon contents. Results also revealed that\r\nZn deficiency ranged from 2 to 100%, B deficiency ranged form 0 to 100%, and S deficiency ranged\r\nfrom 40 to 100% in farmers’ fields across the districts. On-farm trials were conducted to study the\r\nresponse of rainfed crops to Zn, B and S application, and the residual effects of B and S, genotypic\r\nvariations in chickpea cultivars in response to these nutrients and the economics of Zn, B and S use.\r\nResults from on-farm trials conducted during 2002-2006 showed significant yield responses of finger\r\nmillet, maize, sunflower, soybean, groundnut and chickpea to application of Zn, B and S. There was\r\nsignificant residual effect of B and S applied to rainy season soybean on post-rainy season chickpea.\r\nAmong genotypes of chickpea, KAK-2 was more responsive than other cultivars. Application of Zn,\r\nB and S also significantly increased the uptake of Zn, B and S in the crop biomass. Results also\r\nshowed that application of Zn, B and S along with N+P was economical and critical for higher and\r\nsustained productivity of rainfed crops in semi-arid regions of India.\r\n"^^ .
