(CRIDA), Hyderabad, Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) through World Bank
assisted National Agriculture Innovation Project (NAIP) for undertaking development research
for impact. We sincerely acknowledge the help from our consortium partners, Krishi Vignan
Kendra (KVK), Adilabad; Acharya NG Ranga Agricultural University (ANGRAU), Hyderabad;
Watershed Support Services and Activities Network (WASSAN), Rangareddy; Modern Architects
for Rural India (MARI), Warangal; BAIF Institute of Rural Development (BIRD BAIF), Anantapur
& Mahabubnagar; Sri Aurobindo Institute for Rural Development (SAIRD), Nalgonda; Center
for World Solidarity (CWS), Khammam; and and Aakruthi Agricultural Associates (AAKRUTI),
Kadapa; in undertaking on-farm research for impact. Sincere thanks are also to Dr AVR Kesava
Rao and Mr K Srinivas Rao for sharing rainfall data for target districts, and GIS unit, ICRISAT for
mapping study sites.","Diagnostic soil analysis in targeted clusters of eight districts in Andhra Pradesh revealed critical
deficiencies of sulphur (61 to 98%), boron (23 to 98%) and zinc (45 to 85%) in addition to that
of soil carbon (25 to 97%), and phosphorus (14 to 84%) which are apparently holding back
the productivity potential. The soil test based application of sulphur, boron and zinc together
increased productivity by 8 to 102% in cotton, groundnut, castor, sorghum, greengram, cowpea,
chickpea and maize. Economic assessment reveal that per rupee invested as additional cost
(` 1,400/- to ` 2,150/-) gave ` 1.6 to 28.5 in return. Residual benefits of balanced nutrition
were observed during 4 succeeding seasons. Soil health improved in balanced nutrition plots,
inspite of higher yields and nutrient removal. The results showed that balanced nutrition is the
way forward to increase crop productivity through resilience building of production systems and
improve farm based livelihoods in the SAT regions.","2013","published",,,,,"International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics","Patancheru, Andhra Pradesh, India",,"36",,,,,"Resilient Dryland Systems Report no. 58.",,"International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics","Resilient Dryland Systems",,"TRUE",,,,,,,,"",,"http://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?as_q=%22Improved+crop+productivity+and+rural+livelihoods+through+balanced+nutrition+in+the+rainfed+semi-arid+tropics%27&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_occt=title&as_sauthors=&as_publication=&as_ylo=&as_yhi=&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt","pub",,"","",,,,,,"",,,,,,,"",,,,,"",,,,,"","",,,,,"","",,,,,
