Abstract
Indian agriculture is traditionally a system of dry land agriculture. Out of 143 million hectares of net
cropped area, about 72% is dry land production about 45% of food grains and 75 - 80% of pulses and
oil - seeds and a number of important industrial crops. Considering the present rate of development of
irrigation facilities and also water potentiality of the country, it is estimated that at any point of time 50%
of cropped area in India will remain under dry land farming system. Such vast areas as of now consume
hardly 25% of total fertilizer consumption of the country and due to poor level of management, crop
productivity is also very low resulting in socio - economic backwardness of the people.
