Agricultural investment to promote improved capture and use of rainfall in dryland farming
01/1995
This document reviews available technologies to improve in situ capture of rainfall and its more efficient use by crop plants. It concerns areas with restricted, irregular or markedly seasonal rainfall, mostly where the annual average is from 400 to 1,000 mm, but also where seasonal shortages of rainfall can limit crop productivity. It is directed to staff of the FAO Investment Centre and their counterparts in government teams responsible for project design.
