Key Crops and Practices

• Major Crops: Telangana's primary agricultural outputs include rice, cotton, maize, and pulses. The state's semi-arid to tropical climate, combined with black cotton, red loamy, and alluvial soils, supports a variety of crops.
• Horticulture: Covering approximately 12.94 lakh acres, horticulture contributes 34% to the state's Agricultural Gross Value Output (GVO), despite occupying only 7% of the total agricultural area. Key horticultural products include fruits (mangoes, guavas), vegetables, and spices.
