Editorial: Dryland agriculture: crop adaptations, increasing yield and soil fertility

Dryland agriculture in low precipitation areas remain low productive than their potential harvest because of uncertain climate risk, dryland agricultural productivity may be increased by adopting the climate-resilient based agronomic management options. Research has shown that precise water management, coupled with improved soil and crop management and decision tools and efficient mechanization with accurate weather forecast can more than double agricultural productivity in rainfed areas with currently low yields.
