Reasons <strong>of</strong> Low productivity <strong>of</strong> various crops<br />

Over a period <strong>of</strong> time by continuous usage <strong>of</strong> fertilizers, pesticides and insecticides, there is deterioration in the quality <strong>of</strong><br />

soil particularly reduction <strong>of</strong> carbon content and increase <strong>of</strong> salinity. One <strong>of</strong> the reasons ascribed to low response <strong>of</strong> bi<strong>of</strong>ertilizers<br />

in dry lands is their low status <strong>of</strong> soil organic matter. Rejuvenation <strong>of</strong> soil characteristics is an important area to<br />

tackle, with specific emphasis on recovery <strong>of</strong> its nutritional value. More thrust need to be given on adopting methods such<br />

as multi-cropping, rotation <strong>of</strong> crops and organic farming. Organic farming, nutrient management continues to be a focal<br />

issue in dry lands as the fertilizer use is not likely to pick up significantly unless water supply is assured. Soil fertility in dry<br />

lands can be sustained only through maintenance <strong>of</strong> organic matter and achieving better fertilizer-use efficiency through<br />

integration <strong>of</strong> moisture-conservation practices along with soil-fertility management.<br />

Quality <strong>of</strong> Seeds: Good quality seed, fertilizer and pesticide are important factor in agriculture productivity. The use <strong>of</strong> good<br />

quality leads to higher land productivity. In project villages, however, there are two limitations in the use <strong>of</strong> fertilizer. First<br />

these fertilizers are most useful in irrigated condition. The agricultural land <strong>of</strong> the cluster villages however totally depend on<br />
