Abstract

More than 40 crops are cultivated under diverse rainfed agroecologies, i.e. rainfall zones, soil types, rainfed production systems. Despite the progress made so far in rainfed agriculture, productivity of rainfed crops is low due to abiotic and biotic stresses, multiple risks and socio-economic constraints. The key concern for rainfed agriculture is adapting to climate change. The introduction and
adoption of more drought tolerant crops and varieties is necessary to realize better crop yields in diverse rainfed agroecologies. Crop diversity is essential for sustainable agriculture and crop along with varietal diversification can boost a rainfed production system's productivity and profitability.
