Dry land Agriculture and Irrigated Agriculture:
Explanation:
- In one form, agriculture is the art or work done by human groups on the soil, which results in the production of crops. Thus there are different ways of doing this in different societies because human beings work according to their own cultural environment.
Dryland agriculture
- In areas where rainfall is around 50 cm, dry agriculture is done on the basis of soil moisture. In such agriculture, the priority is given to those crops that can give yield in spite of low moisture, such as gram, jowar-millet, oilseeds, barley, saffron etc. Such agriculture is done in the plateau parts of southern Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, and Tamil Nadu.
Irrigated agriculture
- Areas in which 50 to 100 cm. There is annual rainfall, there is a lack of moisture in the soil. During the dry season, this region becomes completely devoid of moisture. As a result, with the help of irrigation in such areas, crops are grown in Kharif and Rabi. Such agriculture is done in Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, eastern coastal deltaic part and some river valleys of the central peninsula and adjacent parts of ponds.
