Description
"Dryland Agriculture Technologies" is a comprehensive guide to the practices and innovations that can help improve agricultural productivity in arid and semi-arid regions, where water scarcity is a major challenge. The book covers a broad range of dryland farming technologies, including soil moisture conservation, rainwater harvesting, efficient irrigation systems, and the use of drought-tolerant crops. It also explores the integration of traditional knowledge with modern agricultural techniques to build resilience against climate variability. Special emphasis is placed on water-use efficiency, sustainable land management, and agroecological practices that protect the soil and environment. The book further highlights emerging technologies such as remote sensing, weather forecasting, and precision agriculture to optimize farm operations in dryland areas. With practical strategies and real-world examples, this book serves as a valuable resource for farmers, agricultural scientists, and students interested in advancing dryland agriculture.
