AICRPDA centre Ballowal Saunkhri is located in the agro-climatic
Zone-l in the North-Eastern part of the Punjab. This zone popularly called
kandi area is in the form of 10 to 20 km wide strip covering an area of approx
3.93 lakh hectares which comprises approximately 7.8 per cent of total
geographical area of the State. The region stretches from Dhar Kalan block of
Pathankot district to Dera Bassi block of SAS Nagar. The climate of the
region varies between semi-arid to sub-humid. Rainwater constitutes the
major water source for crops that becomes scarce due to erratic distribution in
time and space. The region receives average annual rainfall of 800-1500 mm
with a very high coefficient of variation. About 80% rain occurs in Kharif
season (July-September) and rest 20% occurs in rabi season. A major portion
(30-40%) of rain goes as runoff. Majority of the soils range from loamy sand
to sandy loam and have low to medium moisture retention capacity and are
highly erodible having gentle to moderate slope. The inherent fertility of the
soils of this area is very low. Maize is the principal crop of Kandi area, beside
this pearlmillet, greengram, blackgram and sesame are the other important
kharif crops. Wheat, raya, taramira, lentil and gram are major rabi crops. The
other emerging crops in the region are gobhi sarson, toria, linseed and arhar.
The success of crops in this region depends upon the soil and water
management.
