Abstract
In this meeting, the major issues of arid and semi-arid areas regarding water scarcity, nutrient deficiency, salinity, alkalinity, small and marginal land holdings, poor economic status, increasing food prices and high population growth were discussed. Scientists suggested management strategies to overcome these problems and to enhance agricultural productivity. Moreover, it was emphasized that vast untapped potential exists in rainy season fallow and rice fallow lands in India which could be harnessed by adopting improved technologies.
