DFT is a method for the cultivation of crops when irrigation is not possible. These techniques are effective when the right crops are selected, limited moisture is stored in the soil properly, and growing methods make the best use of this moisture. By implementing DFT, farmers are able to strengthen their probability of harvesting crops, even when the rains fail to come DFT Technologies in Brief Zai Pits A zai pit is a planting hole with a length, width, and depth of 60cm each. The pits are dug during the dry season so that top soil can be mixed with the decomposed organic matter underneath, and then refilled into the pit. After the first rainfall, it is time for the farmers to plant in those pits. The Zai pits function during production by concentrating the nutrients and moisture availability at the be...
