Agro-Climatic Zones

Haryana

General Description of Theharyana State

Out of 4.42 m ha of total geographical area of Haryana state 80% is under cultivation. The irrigated area constitutes 84% of the cultivated area in the state. The cropping intensity of the state is 181% with total foodgrains production of over 13 m tonnes. The dominant cropping systems are: Rice-Wheat, Cotton-Wheat and Bajra-Wheat.The natural resource base of agriculture, which provides for sustainable production, is shrinking and degrading and is affecting production capacity. About 62% area of the state is underlain with poor quality water. There are problems of declining as well as rising water tables, soil salinity/alkalinity, declining soil health and stagnatingcrop productivity. Efficiency-mediated improvement in productivity is the most viable option to raiseproduction.

1.   Different Zones of theState

Based on ecology and cropping pattern, whole State is divided into following three zones:-

Zone-I : The domain area of this zone includes eight districts viz. Panchkula,Ambala,Kurukshetra, Yamunanagar, Karnal, Kaithal, Panipat and Sonipat.

Zone-II : The domain area Zone-II includes seven districts namely Sirsa, Fatehbad, Hisar, Jind, Rohtak, and Faridabad includingPalwal.
