2.0 Strategies for weather related contingencies 2.1 Drought 2.1.1 Rainfed situation

Condition Early season drought (delayed situation onset)

Delay by 2 weeks

Suggested Contingency measures

• Agronomic measures
• Major Farming
• Normal Crop /

Cropping system
Change in crop / cropping system including variety

Rice

Remarks on Implementation

Deep loamy soils (tarai soils)

• Rice
• Raise Staggered rice nursery should be

grown at 15 days interval in small areas at seeding of Medium and least two times Short duration varieties of Rice Such as NDR- 97, NDR-359,NDR- Transplanting/Direct

80,NDR-118, Baranideep etc.

• Sandy loam soils
• Maize
• Maize
• Intercropping/ mixed cropping of

maize/sorghum/ Pearlmillet with long duration varieties of Pigeonpea

• Sowing on raised beds,
