Madhushree-Addressing Growing Water Risk in IndiaDistrict Barwani (Madhya Pradesh) and District Kolhapur (Maharashtra) are plagued with water challenges wrt to availability and accessibility.

Challenges at Barwani Poor ground water table and

dependence on river Narmada Erratic rainfall and rainfall months

(July to Mid September) Soil health & water management Soaring temperature from March

onward ..

Farmer Support Program: Collaborative action for sustainabilityOBJECTIVES: AS A CATALYST –

I. Efforts for long-term sustainable sugarcane development in Barwani

Increase in farm productivity Optimize Water productivity Increase in sugar recovery

II. Implement “global best practices in training/capacity building” for farmers and extension workers focused on “Behavior Change” for long-term sustainability.

Credible partners and role clarity are key drivers to collective action.

Key Thrust Areas S. No. Focus Areas Key Recommended Activities1. Varietal balance • Increase in area of cane planting under

improved varieties; 2. Soil health and

nutrition management• Application of farm-yard manure (FYM)• Application of press-mud compost• Application of neem-cake, micro-nutrients• Balanced NPK application• Spray of soluble fertilizers

3. Water-use avoided through Water Use Efficiency

• Application of FYM / press-mud compost• Land-levelling• Trash mulching/ Drip / Gated Pipe• Furrow / check-basin irrigation

4. Inter-cropping • Linked with autumn planting of cane5. Ratoon management • Good Ratoon management practices6. Plant protection • Integrated pest management (IPM)

• Bio-control of pests• Seed and soil treatment

7. Farm mechanization • Custom-hire services through ATSP
