Difference b/w Dryland farming and rainfed farming:
Dry land farming is cultivation of crops in regions with annual rainfall of more than 750 mm. Inspite of prolonged dry spells, crop failure is relatively less frequent. These are semiarid tracts with a growing period between 75 and 120 days. Moisture conservation practices are necessary for crop production. However, adequate drainage is required especially for vertisols. Main emphasis is on soil and water conservation, sustainable crop yields and limited fertilizer use according to soil moisture availability.
Rainfed farming
Rainfed farming is crop production in regions with annual rainfall of more than 1150 mm. Crops are not subjected to soil moisture stress during the crop period. These are humid regions with growing period of more than 120 days. Emphasis is on disposal of excess water, maximum crop yield, high
levels of inputs and control of water erosion.
