  4. Presentation at the 95th ICRISAT Governing Board Meeting Program Committee Sept 30, 2020 Contributions of improved cultivars to SDG 2 (1) Chickpea in Central and Southern (CS) India • Chickpea varieties developed through ICAR-ICRISAT collaborations accounted for 65% of the total indent of chickpea breeder seed in CS India. • During 1981 to 2018, the chickpea production increased 6 times (+7.0 m t) in CS India due to 3-times (+5.4 m ha) increase in area and doubling of productivity. • During 2018, 48% of global chickpea production and 73% of Indian chickpea production came from CS India. (2) Chickpea in Myanmar • Varieties developed from ICRISAT-bred materials cover >95% of the chickpea area in Myanmar. • During the past two decades, the chickpea production increased 7- fold due to 3-fold increase in area and doubling of productivity. (2) Chickpea in Ethiopia and Tanzania • All chickpea varieties released in Tanzania and 21 of the 31 varieties released in Ethiopia are from the breeding material supplied from ICRISAT-Asia. Chickpea production increased 4.8-fold in Tanzania and 3.7-fold in Ethiopia during the past two decades. 4 Chickpea in Central and Southern India Chickpea in Myanmar
  5. Presentation at the 95th ICRISAT Governing Board Meeting Program Committee Sept 30, 2020 (4) Pigeonpea in India • India accounts for about 80% of the area and 73% of the production of pigeonpea in the world. Varieties/hybrids developed through ICAR- ICRISAT collaborative research have a share of 53% in the total indent of pigeonpea breeder seed. Pigeonpea production almost doubled (+ 2 million t) in the past 10 years. • In a recent project in Odisha, >43,000 farmers, including >3,700 women farmers, benefitted by getting 15 to 25% higher productivity by adopting improved varieties (5) Groundnut in Odisha state of India • Adoption of an early maturing groundnut variety, Devi (ICGV 91114) reached 24% of area (about 50,000 ha) and provided net benefit of USD 760 per ha. Groundnut also provided good quality stover for livestock and increased milk productivity. 5
  6. Presentation at the 95th ICRISAT Governing Board Meeting Program Committee Sept 30, 2020 (6) Pearl millet in India Hybrids based on ICRISAT-bred materials covered about 60% of pearl millet hybrid area in Rajasthan, Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh states in India. Hybrids gave at least 20% higher yield than replaced cultivars (estimated total benefit >USD 150 m/year). (7) Biofortified varieties of pearl millet and sorghum • Seven high yielding biofortified (at least 50% higher iron and zinc contents) hybrids of pearl millet and two varieties of sorghum released in India and several are in pipeline for release. • A study conducted in Maharashtra state of India demonstrated that feeding iron-rich pearl millet was an efficient approach to improve iron status in school-age children. (8) Fodder varieties of sorghum and pearl millet  Several sorghum and pearl millet cultivars with high forage yield, including multi-cut type, have been released in India and promoting crop-livestock integration. • Sorghum hybrid CSH 24 MF has >40% share in forage market in India 6
  7. Presentation at the 95th ICRISAT Governing Board Meeting Program Committee Sept 30, 2020 ICRISAT Development Centre (IDC) (1) Bhoochetna Project, Karnataka, India A holistic approach of land rejuvenation was undertaken, which included soil and nutrient management, improved cultivars and production technologies. Area covered: 5.0 million ha; Increased crop yields: 20-66%; Farmers benefitted: 4.75 million Net benefit in 7 years: US$ 399 Million 7 (2) Bhoochetana Project, Odisha, India • 40,000 soil samples from 30 districts analysed for secondary and micro- nutrients and Soil Health Cards (SHCs) distributed to farmers. • An online portal on soil health maps published (http://111.93.2.168/odsoil/). • Need-based application of macro and micronutrients promoted along with improved cultivars and production technologies and benefited farmers with 20 to 60% higher crop yields.

Presentation at the 95th ICRISAT Governing Board Meeting Program Committee Sept 30, 2020 8 (3) Sustainable intensification through integrated watershed management in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka states of India (2014-2019) –The Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd. Extra500,000 m3 water storage capacity developed 50,000 farmers benefitted by getting 30-50% increase in crop yield. Livelihood opportunities created specifically for womenand the landless (4) Doubling farmers income: Scaling up of science-led interventions in Bundelkhand region, Uttar Pradesh, India  In-situ and ex-situ interventions facilitated 2.5 million m3 of water recharge per year leading to increased cropping intensity  Balanced fertilizer application along with improved crop cultivars helped realize a gain of about 35 % in crop productivity.  Benefitted over 1.5 million farmers.
