        abstract = {Globally rainfed agriculture is very important as 80\% of the world?s agricultural land
area is rainfed and generates 58\% of the world?s staple foods (SIWI 2001). Most food
for poor communities in the developing countries is produced in rainfed areas; for
example, in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) more than 95\% of the farm land is rainfed,
while the corresponding figure for Latin America is almost 90\%, for South Asia about
60\%, for East Asia 65\%, and for Near East and North Africa 75\%. In India, 66\% of
142 million ha arable land is rainfed...........}
