Dryland farming is way of life for a majority of Indian farmers. It is characterized by the resource poor, small and marginal farmers, a poor infrastructure and low investments in technology and inputs. Dryland farming means cultivation of crops purely under rainfed conditions where soil moisture is limited for crop growth. It is not possible to have any practical control over the occurrence of rainfall and drought. The best way is to live with the situation and find out ways and means of sustainable dryland farming. Dryland farming involves the use of low-cost, on-farm resource, simple and manageable technologies that are ecologically compatible, environmentally friendly and economically profitable. For achieving sustainability under dryland farming production, each and every aspect of crop production (nutrient and water management, soil and water conservation, pest and disease management, etc.) has to be taken care of. It is inevitable that the second green-revolution has to come from the dryland farming and accordingly the application of technology, inputs and investments has to be tailored to converts these so-called "green areas into green". The South-West zone of Haryana offers ample scope for the development of dryland areas for production of dry land crops. This study highlights that the utilization of inputs, adoption of recommended crop production technologies and adoption of recommended resource conserving technologies had significant positive relationship with productivity of rapeseed & mustard and bajra. The variables such as farming experience and mass media use had the significant positive relationship with productivity of rapeseed & mustard and bajra. The technological variables, viz; adoption of recommended resource conserving technologies and personal variable like farming experience in cultivation of gram had significant positive relationship with productivity of gram
