Sustainability is extremely important in dryland farming under global climatic change. Technology devised by various agricultural institutions is provided in this book. Variation in environmental factors may influence entire ecological system which may not be ideal for agriculture. Under such global scenario, plant growth is under geopardy. New varieties have to be developed to suit the varied climate or crop strategy in view of crop domain suiting ideal available temperature has to be framed to make dryland farming sustainable. Various agrotechnology needs to be adapted to avoid depletion in productivity. Global climatic change in future may limit the productivity of available varieties. Corporate farming may come to rescue the problem under present scenario. Various agrotechnologies described in this book may help the farmers and planners to overcome the situation in future. Critical problems have been dealt with probable solutions to suit the requirements. Multi-cropping system, organic farming, watersheds promotion, reclamation of degraded soils, soil health cards, use of portrals of weather forecast, early harvest on physiological maturity and use of instant remedies timely under unfavourable season shall ease the failure of crop. Long outstanding demand has thus fulfilled with this book. Seller Inventory # 136113
