Drought-Resistant
"Drought-resistant" refers to the ability of certain plants or crops to survive and thrive in conditions with limited water availability. These plants have adapted over time to withstand dry spells, often developing deep root systems, thick leaves, or other features that help them conserve moisture. Examples of drought-resistant plants include cacti, suculents, and some varieties of grasses.
Farmers and researchers are increasingly interested in drought-resistant crops due to climate change and water scarcity. By cultivating these resilient varieties, they can maintain agricultural productivity even during periods of low rainfall. This approach not only supports food security but also promotes sustainable land use practices.
