Abstract
Soil and water conservation measures which includes both agronomical as well as mechanical measures play a key role in resource conservation of dry land agriculture. Use of agronomic measures in the drylands, with the conclusion that agronomic measures contribute a lot for enhancing production in drylands. However timeliness and preciseness in performing the operations in the field should be taken care of. No doubt these agronomic measures contributes a lot for the dryland production. However the timeliness of the operation and preciseness with which these operations perform will yield a better results in case of drylands. Agronomic methods are used in inter-bunded areas, and mechanical measures compliment to help boost the crop yields in the rainfed drylands. Agronomical measures will be mainly adopted in the inter-bunded areas, mainly in the croplands. In the croplands, these mechanical measures compliment the agronomical measures in boosting the crop yield from the drylands.
