Gujarat Agriculture at a Glance

Agro-climatic Zones of Gujarat According to Rainfall and Soil Type

Sr Sub-region Rainfall (mm) Types of Soil

1 Southern Hills 1500 and above Deep black with patches of coastal alkali lateritic and medium black soil

2 South Gujarat 1000 to1500 Deep black clayey soils

3 Middle Gujarat 800 to1000 Deep black to loamy sand

4 North Gujarat 400 to 700 Medium black

5 North Arid Zone 250 to 500 Sandy and saline soils

6 North Saurashtra 400 to 700 Shallow medium black soils

7 South Saurashtra 645 to 700 Shallow medium black & calcareous soils

8 Bhal & Coastal Area 625 to 1000 Medium black poorly drained and saline soils

Gujarat ClimateMega thermic category with mean soil temperature exceeding 28°C.

Air temperature in January normally remains over 10°C. Maximum temperature in May goes over 45°C in north and north-west Gujarat.

Rainfall is the most dominant climatic factor. Average rainfall is 972 mm, received in 35 days mostly from June to September with a coefficient of variation (CV) of 50%.

Spatially it ranges from 300 mm in north-west to 2,200 mm in south-east.

12 out of 26 districts of Gujarat are drought prone.

24.94% area falls under arid and 33.56% is under semi arid area region.

Major inputs required for

Agriculture Production:-

(1) Seed: HYV, Improved variety

(2) Fertilizer: Including organic fertilizer

(3) Pesticide: Includes bio pesticides, weedicides

(4) Irrigation Facilities: Includes Drip & Sprinklers

To fulfill the basic input needs, required sufficient credit support to

farmers at proper time with reasonable interest rate and easy

availability.
