Almatti Left Bank Canal from Upper Krishna Project command area of the Karnataka state was selected for the purpose of analysing the changes in cropping pattern. The time series data on cropping pattern in selected canal command area were collected for a period of 10 years (2009-10 to 2018-19) and analysed using First Order Markov Chain Approach. In Almatti Left Bank Canal command area, maize crop was grown for fodder purpose while sunflower fetched high price and pearl millet was the main food in the command area. Hence, area under these crops remained stable.

Pearl millet is important crop of arid parts, mainly grown for fodder and grain. The present productivity level of the arid region is low and needs to be increased. Hybrids have higher potential as compared to OPVs in pearl millet, hence development of large number of hybrids and subsequently its assessment in arid environment is very much essential. 184 single cross hybrids were assessed in arid region of Rajasthan during Kharif 2017 for earliness, grain yield and other traits. Average grain yield of test hybrids was 27.63 q/ha with minimum of 10.2 q/ha and maximum of 42.5 q/ha.
