		Length of crop growing season that varies between 100-135 days, is constrained by low and erratic rainfall (mean annual rainfall of 567 mm and crop season rainfall of 480 mm), and low water holding capacity (44-105 mm) of the soils.
		As a result of preliminary long-term APSIM simulation scenarios, it was considered necessary to maintain peanut population around 240 thousand plants ha -1 in the intercrop system, that was as much as in sole peanut system, while the intercropped pigeonpea population would be around 90-120 thousand plants ha -1 based on soil depth.
		Intercropping of peanut with short duration pigeonpea was found to be suitable for the region as explored by APSIM simulations, in terms of utilizing the natural resources, and proved to be economically viable in majority of the farmers' field demonstrations in Anantapur district during 2000/01.

	MacroScan - Despair and Determination in Anantapur
		Anantapur is the largest district in Andhra Pradesh, but has relatively sparse population and falls among the lowest per capita incomes of all districts.
		Suicide deaths in Anantapur, even as they continue, are now outnumbered by deaths resulting from gang wars and factional killings, adding yet another harsh element to the complex tribulations of the area.
		In any case, addressing the problems of agricultural development in an area like Anantapur is a hugely challenging task, since it is necessary to consider the issues of sustainability and continued viability of farming and also the related question of developing non-agricultural income opportunities.

		For the farmers from Anantapur, groundnut is a preferred crop since it survives the rough terrain and the uncertainty of rainfall.
		The Anantapur farmers felt that the improved varieties selected for propagation in peninsular India through the formal system did not meet the very specific needs of the district.
		The Anantapur trials show that ICGV 91114 yields on an average around 10% more pods than TMV 2, matures early (one week earlier than TMV 2), is tolerant of mid-season and end-of-season droughts, has an average shelling turnover of 75%, has an average oil content of 48%, and has better digestibility for livestock.

		Traditionally, Anantapur's farmers have dealt with their bad draw in the climatic lottery by growing tough subsistence crops: pearl millet, finger millet, deep-rooted legumes like pigeonpea, and, on better soils, chickpea.
		Economic pressures, coming on top of increasingly erratic rainfall and depletion of groundwater supplies, have helped push Anantapur toward the top of the list of districts for numbers of farmer suicides, which are reported to number in the thousands.
		If Anantapur is affected as badly as the nation as a whole (and the models appear very uncertain about local variations), agriculture might just become impossible.

	Modelling impact of climate variability on rainfed groundnut (Site not responding. Last check: )
		A comparison of the results of the heuristic model for the rainfall data of the agricultural station at Anantapur for 1970–90 with observations of the sowing dates and incidence of two major pests/diseases is also presented.
		Finally, we discuss the results of using the heuristic model in conjunction with the PNUTGRO model to derive the integrated impact of climate variability for Anantapur for the period 1970–90 and show that the yield thus simulated is rather close to the observed district yield.
		The sowing dates and the incidence of leaf miner and late leaf-spot at Anantapur agricultural station and in the simulation of the heuristic model for the few years for which observations were available are shown in Tables 4 and 5.

		Severe shortage and inadequate screening procedures result in widespread harm: patients are forced to buy blood, and often many impoverished and undernourished individuals donate blood as a means of earning a livelihood.
		Amarnath Reddy of the Anantapur Rationalist Association, a printer by profession and a staunch rationalist, and Jana Vigyan Vedika, a pioneer left-wing science education group in Andhra Pradesh, founded Mamata, an organization that promotes the donation of blood, educates people about AIDS, and denounces popular superstition.
		Like the Atheist Centre in Vijayawada, which also runs an eye bank, Amarnath Reddy sees his work as a means to take the Humanist message to everyone: “Blood knows no caste or religion and those involved in the movement naturally rise above petty considerations.” Manavata achieved resounding success even among the Muslim community.
