Yes, dryland farming techniques include planting drought-resistant crops and using mulch and other soil-conservation practices to reduce evaporation and erosion. Dryland farmers must be careful not to overgraze their land, which can lead to soil degradation and decreased crop yields. Crops are grown primarily to cover the soil and to reduce the loss of moisture due to evaporation. Cover crops also produce more biomass, which can be used for soil fertility management. Water conservation one of the easiest steps we can take to help mitigate the impacts of drought is conserving water. If we use water wisely at all times, more water will be available to us and to plants and wildlife when a drought happens. There are three components of a successful dryland farming system: (1) retaining the precipitation on the land, (2) reducing evaporation from the soil surface to increase the portion of evapotranspiration used for transpiration, and (3) utilizing crops that have drought tolerance and that fit the precipitation patterns. Mulching should be done after sowing helps to prevent evaporation and weeds. Intercropping of legumes with cereals acts as mulching material. Shallow ploughing with cultivator while sowing act as dust mulching prevents excessive water loss from soil. Once the crops have been chosen and planted, farmers must carefully manage the soil with the goal of conserving moisture. Dryland farmers use a variety of techniques to reduce water loss, such as mulching, cover crops, crop rotation, and terracing. Wider than normal spacing, to provide a larger bank of moisture for each plant adopted and use controlled traffic with minimal tilling of land and strict weed control, to ensure that weeds do not consume soil moisture needed by the cultivated plants.
