Rainfed Agriculture 1st Edition

Grab attention with a practical guide tailored for the majority of smallholder farmers across the subcontinent: Rainfed Agriculture, 1st Edition by R.K. Nanwal and G.A. Rajanna is an authoritative, accessible resource on managing crops and natural resources in rain-dependent systems.

This book unpacks core principles of rainfed farming—soil-water relationships, moisture conservation, water-harvesting techniques, crop selection for drought-prone areas, and climate-resilient cropping systems. Written with clarity for students, extension professionals, researchers, and farmers in India and South Asia, it bridges science and practice through case studies, field-tested strategies, and regional examples relevant to semi-arid and dryland agriculture.

Packed with applied guidance, the text explores integrated nutrient management, soil conservation, crop rotation, agroforestry, and low-cost technologies to boost productivity while conserving natural capital. Emphasis on watershed management, risk mitigation, and policy implications makes it a valuable reference for planners and NGOs working in rural development and sustainable agriculture.

If you seek a dependable handbook to improve yields under variable rainfall, reduce vulnerability to drought, and implement resilient farming practices, this edition delivers clear, actionable insights. Its local focus on Indian agro-ecologies and broader relevance to similar climates in South Asia make it an indispensable addition to academic courses, extension libraries, and practitioner toolkits.
