Major farming systems/enterprises (based on the analysis made by the KVK)
| S.N. | Farming system/enterprise |
|---|---|
| 1 | AES – 1 (Rakar irrigated/ rainfed) important farming systems are: Groundnut - Wheat + few plants of local guava + cow / buffalo (3 - 4) is the farming system popular with resource rich farmers and groundnut - wheat/gram/linseed + cow (local 6 - 8 animals) is The farming system popular with resource poor farmers. |
| 2 | AES - 2 (Parwa irrigated / rain fed) the farming systems are: groundnut - wheat / brinjal + goat / buffalo ( 3 - 4) animals with resource rich farmers and groundnut - wheat + cow / goat ( 6 - 8) animals with resource poor Farmers. |
| 3 | AES - 3 (Kabar irrigated / rainfed) Resource rich farmers follow soybean / paddy - wheat / pea + cow / graded buffalo (3 - 4) and resource poor farmers follow paddy – Wheat / gram + cow (6 - 8) farming system. |
| 4 | AES - 4 (Mar irrigated / rainfed) Resource rich farmers follow - soybean / urd - mustard / gram + cow / graded buffalo and resource poor farmers follow paddy-mustard + gram + cow / graded buffalo / goat (6 - 8) animals farming system. |
| 5 | AES - 5 (Totally rainfed) The farmers with or without resources keep their land fallow in kharif and cultivate wheat / gram / linseed / lentil in rabi. They mostly rear goat and sheep but do not have options for horticulture. Most of them earn from wages. |
Description of Agro-climatic Zone & major agro ecological situations (based on soil and topography)
| S.N. | Agro-Climatic Zone | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | AES – 1 | Raker Irrigated / Rainfed |
| 2 | AES – 2 | Parwa irrigated / Rainfed |

Soil Types
| S.N. | Soil Types | Characteristics | Area in ha |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Rakar | Coarse & gravelly texture, reddish to brownish in colour. Depth varies from few inches to about two feet with parent rock. The productivity of soil is poor. | 45.58 (13.68)* |
| 2 | Parwa | Loam to sandy in texture. Colour varies gray to brownish and deep red to reddish gray. Medium depth (40-75cm). These soils are although poor in organic matter but quite productive. | 181.21 (53.35) |
| 3 | Kabar | Coarse grained in texture. & black in colour. These soils are deep & parent rock lies at greater depth. These soils retain sufficient moisture, which on drying cracks & small fissure develop. | 45.58 (13.68) |
| 4 | Mar | Soils are black in colour, fine texture & considerable deep. These soils are prone to great extent of swelling and contracting during wet & period. Poor physical conditions due to their peculiar characteristics & behavior towards moisture. | 60.77 (18.24) |
