A study was conducted in Reddiarchatram block of Dindigul district in Tamil Nadu with an objective to analyse the productivity of selected dryland crops. The productivity analysis revealed the decline in growth rate of dryland crops, namely, sorghum, maize, cumbu, minor millets, cowpea, redgram, moong, groundnut, sunflower, soybean and cotton. Similarly positive growth rate was found in the crops, namely, blackgram, horse gram, sesame and castor. The quantity of rainfall received was found to influence the growth rate of the dryland crops.
