الملخص

In Sudan, the yield of rainfed crops is characterized by high variability due to the high variability in seasonal rainfall and does not exceed 500 kg ha-1 because the rainfed farmers adopt low inputs. The Federal Ministry of Agriculture has designed and financed a special program for the traditional rainfed sector of the country called National Integrated Solutions Program Package (NIPSP) as the main adaptation strategy for the 2014/ 2020 growing seasons to diversify and increase production and productivity of crops cultivated in the traditional rainfed areas in each State of the country such as sorghum, sesame, millet and sunflower. This program was implemented by the Administration of Agricultural Extension and Technology Transfer in each State in collaboration with Agricultural Research Corporation (ARC) and the Agricultural Bank of Sudan. A field survey was used to collect data from 50 rainfed farmers who participated in the program and an equal number of non- participant farmers from the study area were selected )for comparison( using the simple random sampling technique. A close ended questionnaire was constructed and the personal interview technique was used to administer the questionnaire. The collected data were statistically analyzed using (SPSS), discussed, interpreted using descriptive statistics and chi-square test. The results showed that the participant farmers adopted the program components. Chi-square test results revealed no significant association between farmer`s adoption of the program components and participation in the program and also no significant association between farmer`s adoption of the program components and the selected socio-economic characteristics of the respondent farmers. From this study, it was concluded that NISP was a very effective agricultural extension policy that can be applied in the rainfed sector of the country, which will help rainfed farmers to increase their income through their participation in various activities of the program. The study recommends that NISP should become the main national policy specially designed for the agricultural rainfed sector of the country, agricultural inputs should be available at a reasonable price and the curriculum of NISP should be updated and developed regularly to solve the constraints that might face the program. In-service training should be organized for agricultural extension officers on various aspects related to the rainfed sector and various means for conducting the program should be available.
