Answer 1

Mulching and dry farming

Explanation:

Dry farming is usually referred to as agricultural cultivation without irrigation during the dry season. Dry farming is practiced in areas with limited rainfall or water availability. Farmers use a variety of tools and strategies to compensate for moisture deficiencies throughout the crop cycle. Dryland crops include millets (such as pearl millet and sorghum), pulses (like chickpeas and lentils), drought-tolerant wheat and barley types and oilseeds (such as sunflower and sesame). These crops have evolved to tolerate water scarcity and thrive in dryland conditions.
