Mechanized Rain- fed Agriculture:-

This type of land use includes large–scale farms (1000feddans) covering of about 6 million hectares mainly in the central clay plains. The principle crops are sorghum, sesame, Groundnut, Sunflower, Guar and cotton. It is characterized by fluctuation in yield per unit area. This is mainly attributed to the ill- distribution of rainfall during the season as well as to lack of proper soil conservation measures. Farmers use machinery in land preparation and harvesting their crops, some of them use herbicides to obtain high yield . Operation such as weeding, sesame harvesting, dura stalk cutting, cotton picking are manual.
