Wet Farming Dry Farming
Wet farming is primarily dependent on rainfall. Dry farming involves raising specific crops while maintaining moisture levels.
Farming is practised in regions receiving more than 75 cm of annual rainfall. For e.g. Rice. Farming is practised in regions with less than 75 cm of annual rainfall. For e.g. Millets.
This kind of farming is common on the western slopes of the Western Ghats as well as in North and North Eastern India. This is practised in arid regions of the nation like Gujarat, Southern Haryana, Eastern Rajasthan, and the rain-shadow region of the Western Ghats.
This type of farming involves the cultivation of water-requiring crops like rice, jute, and maize. Crops like millets, peas, and grams that can withstand dry conditions without irrigation are grown.
