Abstract

Dry land in Indian food production is considerably contributing 44 per cent of total food grain production. This is home of production for more than 80 per cent of coarse cereals, pulses and oilseeds of India. Most importantly it is supporting 40 per cent of Indian population with no support of assured irrigation, fully dependent on vagaries monsoon/rainfall. Due to its unique physiography, inherent poor fertility status and under imminent climate change situation need of efficient nutrient management (ENM) is advocated to improve and sustain productivity of the region which is wholly tagged with low productive zone with enormous potentiality.
