locations.
duration base crop with a short-duration
intercrop would be best suited for the
Hyderabad environment.
(iii) The rainfall analysis for Sholapur shows
that crops with indeterminate nature and
drought-hardy crops would be more suitable,
whereas at Hyderabad one could probably
select determinate or even droughtsensitive
crops, depending upon soil
conditions.
(iv) The cost/benefit ratio for recycling of runoff
water would be much more favorable in the
Sholapur region when compared (for similar
soil types) to Hyderabad.
(v) The wet/wet probabilities of rainfall at
either location show that in about 4 of 10
