What to Focus On

  • Agriculture contributes 17.8% of Gross Value Added.
  • About 54.6% of the population depends on agriculture for livelihood.
  • Agriculture provides fodder to over 30 crore animals.
  • Dry farming: rainfall below 75 cm.
  • Wet farming: rainfall above 75 cm.
  • Sub-humid zone: 75-100 cm rainfall.
  • Crop rotation prevents nutrient depletion.
  • Legumes fix nitrogen in the soil.
  • Oilseeds also help in nitrogen fixation.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Dry farming means any farming in low-rainfall areas below 100 cm annually.

Semi-arid region and dry farming region mean the same thing.

Rice grows best in areas with more than 100 cm rainfall, so the 100 cm line is the crop's ideal rainfall requirement.
