The Average rainfall received in this Zone usually exceeds 700 m. m. The climate is hot and dry. More than 75% rainfall in this zone is received in Kharif season, hence Kharif cropping system Predominates in the zone. In general, all types of soils are observed in this zone. Preferably, medium and heavy in texture, fairly high in clay content, alkaline in reaction, high lime reserve with high base saturation of the exchange complex. The soils are severely eroded & shallow. They are uneven in depth and are uncertain by stony substrata. They are intercepted by gullies having rapid run off resulting in severe erosion & prone to drought.<\/span><\/p>\n
