&lt;br /&gt;
Indian agriculture&amp;rsquo;s reliance on monsoon rainfall has reduced considerably over the last few years thanks to the increase in area irrigated, although there are still pockets &amp;mdash; particularly in east and central India &amp;mdash; where rains still are a decisive determinant of crop. Key grain-producing states Punjab, Haryana, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh have most of the cropped areas under irrigation coverage (see table). Unless there is a large rain deficit as in 2009-10 or two successive of years of shortfall in precipitation as in 2014-15 and 2015-16, these states could produce robust crops.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, among other crop producers, irrigated areas are relatively lower in Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and Maharashtra. The means that crops such as pulses, coarse cereals and, to an extent, rice continue to have significant monsoon dependence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Irrigation has reduced the risk of drought-like conditions developing even in case of moderately less rainfall during a monsoon season,&amp;rdquo; PK Joshi, director (South Asia), International Food Policy Research Institute, told FE.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This year while east Madhya Pradesh has received &amp;lsquo;deficient&amp;rsquo; rainfall, the overall agricultural output for kharif crops like soyabean, pulses and paddy is unlikely to be affected much since over 80% of 130 lakh hectares of sown areas in the state are irrigated. An agriculture ministry official said western Uttar Pradesh, which has been in the rain-deficient category this season, too has comfortable irrigation cover. Even in eastern Uttar Pradesh, groundwater availability is adequate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Overall, this year&amp;rsquo;s monsoon has been &amp;ldquo;below normal&amp;rdquo; with rainfall at 95% of the long period average of 89 cm, though well-spread.&lt;br /&gt;

Key grain-producing states Punjab, Haryana, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh have most of the cropped areas under irrigation coverage (see table).

India gets increasingly monsoon-proof in farm output, but some areas still vulnerable -Sandip Das

-The Financial Express Indian agriculture’s reliance on monsoon rainfall has reduced considerably over the last few years thanks to the increase in area irrigated, although there are still pockets — particularly in east and central India — where rains still are a decisive determinant of crop. Key grain-producing states Punjab, Haryana, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh have most of the cropped areas under irrigation coverage (see table). Unless there is a large rain deficit as in 2009-10 or two successive of years of shortfall in precipitation as in 2014-15 and 2015-16, these states could produce robust crops. However, among other crop producers, irrigated areas are relatively lower in Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and Maharashtra. The means that crops such as pulses, coarse cereals and, to an extent, rice continue to have significant monsoon dependence. “Irrigation has reduced the risk of drought-like conditions developing even in case of moderately less rainfall during a monsoon season,” PK Joshi, director (South Asia), International Food Policy Research Institute, told FE. This year while east Madhya Pradesh has received ‘deficient’ rainfall, the overall agricultural output for kharif crops like soyabean, pulses and paddy is unlikely to be affected much since over 80% of 130 lakh hectares of sown areas in the state are irrigated. An agriculture ministry official said western Uttar Pradesh, which has been in the rain-deficient category this season, too has comfortable irrigation cover. Even in eastern Uttar Pradesh, groundwater availability is adequate. Overall, this year’s monsoon has been “below normal” with rainfall at 95% of the long period average of 89 cm, though well-spread.
