Abstract
Out of total cropped area of 21. 35 million hectares in Pakistan, nearly 25 per cent is rainfed. Rainfed agriculture in the country is confronted with multifarious problems of drought stress, nutrient depletion and their poor use efficiency, weeds infestation, soil erosion, soil crusting, poor management of steep slopes, deforestation and poor crop management. As a result, the productive potential of these important areas is adversely affected. However, their potential can be improved by adoption of suitable interventions. This paper encompasses the important issues of rainfed agriculture.
