Dryland farming is largely restricted to the regions having annual rainfall less than 75 cm. Major crops are ragi, bajra, moong, gram, and guar (fodder crops).
The regions, which have rainfall in excess of soil moisture requirement of plants during the rainy season is known as wetland farming. Major crops are rice, jute, and sugarcane.
The cereals occupy about 54% of total cropped area in India.
India produces about 11% cereals of the world and ranks 3rd in production after China and U.S.A.
Indian cereals are classified as fine grains (e.g. rice, wheat, etc.) and coarse grains (e.g. jowar, bajra, maize, ragi, etc.).
Types of Farming
On the basis of main source of moisture for crops, the farming can be classified as irrigated and rainfed.
On the basis of adequacy of soil moisture during cropping season, rainfed farming is further classified as dryland and wetland farming.
Major Crops
In southern states and West Bengal, the climatic conditions facilitate the cultivation of two or three crops of rice in an agricultural year.
In West Bengal farmers grow three crops of rice called ‘aus’, ‘aman,’ and ‘boro’.
